According to the article, this is a localized situation. It's only in the south eastern states.

That means that the manufacturing plants didn't miss it. The accessory installers did who work for this group. Just a little clarity for those who can't see quite so well.

not surprised

If Croc actually knew anything about Toyota, he'd know that it's the Camry, Sienna, Tundra, Sequoia and Venza that are made in the USA. Or maybe those plants don't exist and it's all just media hype. OMG, they have been making it all up??? WTF!!
  The "Jap Junk" that Toyota makes has more vehicles on the IIHS's list of top safety pic than any other manufacturer in the world.
  JD Powers has awarded the Tundra "most dependable truck" seven years in a row. Toyota tops the list for relaibilty year after year after year so yea, if being the most reliable automaker, with the most dependable vehicles and top safety pics means that you are driving "junk", then, yup, I'm driving junk, and that "junk" has allowed me to not spend one single dime on towing or repairs for many years now. I can't say that about any Ford or GM that I have owned and I have owned twice as many of them as I have Japanese vehicles.
  You guys could be much happier if you just get over your bitterness when it comes to the Japanese. The facts are, that if it has a motor in it, the Japanese make it better than the US does. That applies to cars, motorcycles, ATV's, boats, personal watercraft, power tools, lawn mowers, snow blowers. Anyone that knows anything about motors knows this to be the truth, it's a fact that you may not like, but it still is a fact.
  Now, lash out at me all you want but it won't change the truth or hurt my feelings, but  it will just make you even angrier than you already are and drive you deeper into denial.

keep bashing toyota, but they do have the longest lasting cars on the road, american cars simply dont compare when it comes to durability, yea toyotas arent flashy but thats there whole point! there directing there attention to people who simply want to get from A to B not look the "coolest" or go the fastest, you say go figure when it comes to there awards but go figure there actually winning for a reason

Typical Japanese Garbage.  Its funny people talked about the poor quality of American cars in the 1980s and how they were recalled a lot, but Toyota and Honda have put the 1980s to shame in the last 5 years and yet people still buy that crap.  It makes no sense how hypocritical Americans are.
