Absolutely awful new power steering system. There have been considerably more than 100 complaints regarding the power steering with the National Highway Transportation and Safety Commission. The awful steering completely ruins the driving experience as well as making it more dangerous.
Toyota are doing things wrong since a few years and everyone who fails must pay for it!
Toyota knew about their problems but didnt care about and 34 people died !
If you want to know who is really making out like bandits, read, “Fatted Leviathan,the time bomb of runaway benefits for government employees,” by Kent Osband at National Review.
There are plenty…and they’re wearing nameplates like: Mercedes, Volvo, Audi, VW, Porsche. When other cars have long since fallen apart these ones keep going. I see a Toyota truck on my way to work with a 250K mile club sticker on the back. Funny part is it looks like it’s ready to rust in half. Even the new Toyota trucks have had serious corrosion issues on the frame. By comparison my Audi has well over 300K on the clock and still looks and runs great.
I’ve owned Japanese and German cars…my rule of thumb…A Japanese car will work trouble free for a long time but once done it is disposable. A German car also will work, virtually trouble free for a long time with more little things to fix along the way. Big difference is you can keep the Germany car 300,000+ miles and 20 years and it will still perform well long after the Japanese car has be scrapped.
I have no problem with your preferences. Reliability is more important to me that luxury which is what I think you prefer. Yes, the Germans make the better cars in that area. I had a VW TDI which was nicer than the Japanese equivalent, but it didn’t have the reliability of Japanese.
You have to hold the button down . . . . punching it doesn’t kill the engine. The media seems to be on a campaign to malign Toyota. Could it be that they don’t pay the company killing level of wages that GM does? Maybe Toyota isn’t union?
Also, what do you consider quality? I’d take a safe, well made car with a few bugs here and there (power window switch, trim piece replacement, etc.) long before I would drive a mass produced totally trouble free car that has been cheapened to the point of being unsafe for the sake of saving production costs. Quality means different things to different people. What good is a car that has an unintended accel problem or steering problem built on the reputation of a company which “quality”?
Some new GM models have higher initial quality than Toyota in recent years. As for the kill switch, that button on the dash, well you can clearly see in the video that when pushed the car did not shut down. Quality and the Toyota way have been harped on now for years…but if you produce unsafe cars and put them on US roads, your days as No. 1 are numbered. Personally, I’m not a big fan of domestic or asian cars because the best quality and most safe cars come out of the EU.
All you have to do is hit the kill switch. Yes batteries are expensive, but that doesn’t have anything to do with the quality issue of American vs. Japanese.
Chrysler LH Platform (Intrepid, 300M, Concorde, LHS) has “HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS” of NHTSA steering complaints and no one gives as shit about that! There have been “thousands” of complains of “complete loss of steering control” There are photos of wrecks, people have been injured or killed. There are photos of inner tie rod bolts even snapping off! In fact, it’s the worst steering design in automotive history! Nobody cares about that though!
Maybe you need to see the video of the safety officials trying to shut down the lexus and as well attempting to apply the brakes when throttle was stuck. Any American vehicle? Are you sure about that? Prius…tell everybody how much you love it after you have to replace the batteries.
To all you “Americans” that call people stupid for their choices. Perhaps you forgot that this is one of our cherished freedoms. My son and I have a total of 50 years military service defending that right. As far as buy american, buy what you want. If you want to buy me a Ford, then I’ll take it. Otherwise, I’ll use my freedom of choice and my choice is Toyota!

You should see my neighborhood . . . . people used to drive American, and now the number of Toyotas and Hondas are growing. Ford is the only viable major American manufacturer, but I would still buy Japanese. Look at resale value and reliability and then tell me who is dumb.
I’ve known for almost 2 decades that toyotas were crap! Our family bought a camry and tundra brand new and the tundra’s engine was shot in 3 years and the camry needed a new tranny in about 4 years. Bad enough with poor quality, but now the toyotas/lexus are sending you the nearest cliff! Screw that! Stay away from these death cabs until they figure this thing out.

I suspect the media is in a tizzy about Toyota, because they aren’t part of the Obama socialist club, and they have been eathing GM’s lunch.

Well I’m not sure we see many cars on the road with 300,000+ miles on them. I wonder if there has ever been research on this subject.
