    Keep poking them in the butt with a sharp stick! Attorneys need the work apparently. Hey, maybe they could hire the bankruptcy attorneys from ads I hear on the radio.

    Go ahead cut the throat of the biggest manufacturing job provider in this Country.If you think Ford and Chevrolet haven’t pulled the same things with defective parts on their automobiles then you’re in lala land!
    Ford is notorious for having bad brake rotors on the front of the Taurus for years.The front end would shake out of control when the rotors got thin enough just from average useage.The metalic material in the brake pads would actually wear the rotors down to the point you could never machine them but nobody got on their tail for that one.The F-150 had and likely still has rear shackles that rust out and leave the rear end dragging in areas that use salt on the roads during the winter months.
    Chevrolet had problems with alternators and still does,ever drive a car that died and has no power steering or brakes? I have!
    All manufacturers are guilty of pulling this crap on the consumers.Manufacturers put out service bulletins at the dealerships for the people that have their cars serviced there.The people that don’t and go to their opwn repairman never see these bulletins unless there private mechanic has inside contacts that supply them with the information so don’t jump the gun on Toyota.They have put out a class A automobile for years and now everyone wants to shut them down because of what boils down to a handful of people that don’t know how to react in an emergency situation.
    I mean let’s get real.How can someone not have the smarts to turn the ignition key and shut the vehicle off,it’s better to coast to a stop than get killed running into something!
    Toyota is doing everything in their power to correct the problem but they can’t be let off the hook for selling these vehicles knowing they had these problems and not recalling these cars before the problem got out of hand.

    Obviously we have a Car Care Crisis which kills 1000s of people every day & affects National Security. We must have National Car Care Legislation NOW!
    Second verse, same as the first.

    It’s Japan not China that will own if not already does own much of this Country.Now we have a President that is elling them bonds to get our bung holes out of the astronomical debt he created.I am sure glad we have so many intelligent people in this Country..How could people be so stupid as to vote this man into office.The writing was nowhere! He said a bunch of nothing and is doing a bunch of disruoting of our government by bribing and extorting affiliates of his party to vote in this Health Care Bill. Hasn’t he created enough problems?I would love to see him impeached.He has no formal knowledge on how to run a business how can he run our government and Mr Kucinivich [spelling?] you have no spine.

    I say again that Toyota employs many people in this Country and the more you hit them the more you hit our own people.Many of the incidences that took place with these Toyota’s could have been prevented if the driver knew what to do in an emergency,to me it’s driver error in many of the cases if not all!
    Turning the ignition off or using the emergency brake ,which is why they call it that, would have possibly saved these peoples lives but I do agree that Toyota has to fess up to the fact they knew about the problem but turned their cheeks!

    So I have no clue where you claim that American bashing is going on.American built cars were junks for years because they had to reduce quality in order to pay CEO bonuses and the Union members however I think even the working Union Members are seeing now that their Union has not been run properly and needs an overhaul. Retiree’s of GM at least have it made but there is still time for our government to screw them up as well anything they place their hands on or get their noses into seems to become all screwed up and we end up holding the bill asd usual.I see no difference between the way that BinObama is running the Country than Clinton the only difference is Clinton was smart he did it intelligently and BinObama hasn’t a clue of what he is doing and acts on knee jerk reactions.He is costing us a fortuen and is selling us to Japan.

    We need to drop the term “foreign cars”. The UAW coined that term decades ago to make Americans feel guilty about buying them. In today’s market, they may be “foreign engineered”, but most of them are built and serviced by Americans. Why do Americans buy them? Because they’ve always been of better quality than the big 3 who aren’t very good at building a vehicle that will last beyond 80,000 miles. Planned obsolesence forces people to buy another car. The UAW and the big 3 are a big part of their own problem. Poor management and give-a-way benefit programs to un-skilled workers. I’ll buy American if it’s the best product at a competitive price. It’s a global economy and to blindy buy an American car to keep some UAW worker with a fat retirement program including lifetime medical employed is short-sighted. Toyota has beene the Quality standard for over 30 years. It suddenly has problems but will recover without a government bailout. Toyota should have told congress to shove it.

    There is no evidence that Toyota was ignoring the problem. I have a Prius and I was notified long ago that the floormat might be a problem – which it was! The problem continues and so does Toyota’s effort in fixing it. This lawsuit is a desperate attempt for greedy attorney to make money that they don’t deserve.
