Again, Toyota?

Toyota adds 1 million vehicles to recall

New York (CNNMoney.com) -- Toyota announced Wednesday night that it is adding another 1.1 million vehicles to an an earlier 4.2 million vehicle recall originally announced in November.

The vehicles are being recalled to fix a problem in which the gas pedal can become caught on the edge of the removable floormat, causing the vehicle to accelerate uncontrollably.

That's over 3 million vehicles recalled by Toyota this week. If they recall any more cars, they're going to have to partner with Ruger...

Boy, I wish had had 1/10th the skill of this guy...

That is all.

Imagine if you will.........


what about the possibility that the government may be leaning on Toyota to do these recalls as a matter of public safety, then pushing GM to offer massive encentives to people trading Toyota's in on GM vehicles.....


Kinda scary huh?

Clever!

Stupid throttle-by-wire...

I drive an '06 Corolla, and have stalled it a few times when the ECU was otherwise occupied instead of giving me the darn gas.

LOL, good call on the Ruger comment. Or at the least they could partner with S&W.
