Toyota Recalling Hybrid SUVs

I've owned a Toyota for the past five year (FJ Cruiser) and I've had nothing but problems. New engine - 8000km, 3 release bearings @ 81000km, 94000km 128000km and a new trani @ 128000km, not to mention a bunch of bad backup sensors.  

You can say what you want about toyota being the best vehicles out there, but when it comes to cost of buying and repairing a vehicle you can not beat the domestics. 

Drive an old vehicle...looks old and bad to some people, but they last with basic maintenance, only have to carry liability insurance and no value lost if someone hits you and wrecks the vehicle!  I drive an 18 year old chevy silverado...still runs well and my mechanic does not have to remove the dash board to replace a small part or pull a bunch of stuff out to replace a certain belt like he has to do on new cars...the parts and labor costs a lot on new vehicles and they are not worth owing.  Drive an old vehicle till it literally falls apart!  You will save a lot of money...who cares what other people think!

"the only reason you see so much about them is that they take responsibility for their quality issues and issue voluntary recalls-the most VOLUNTARY recalls of ANY manufacturer." Funny how you Never heard from them BEFORE the goverment started to review there recall policy. Seems they would do anything BUT issue a recall. Didnt want to tarnish that rep. False as it was. Before you jump on the media for being easy on the big three it was the media that would always condem the big three and roast them Everytime they had a recall.  Sure the big three cars were junk But things have changed. Come on you can admit it and stop drinking the Toyota Kool-aid

@get_a_life, HERE IT IS, the TOYOTA RECALL OF THE WEEK!  This company is sucking wind when it comes to its overly tarnished reputation now.  The TITANIC is sinking!

 

Oh, what a feeling, TOYota! 

 

Funny, I don't see the recalls from Chrysler or Cadillac on here?

get_a_life, your being a crybaby again.  Wah, wah, wah.....

All these new cars these days have flaws.  I believe Toyota has a big part in this with all their fancy technology and all the crap their commercials tell you.  I've never owned or ridden in a Toyota newer than a 1994, but from what I can tell about their truck market is that The Tundra is a piece of garbage and their Tacoma has lost its truck royalty. Now I drive a 1977 Ford, so what it gets about 10 miles to the gallon on a good day but, I've only had to put about $150 bucks into parts for the whole year we've had it.  I hear that all the recalls and work hours cost way more than $150 bucks but hell I'm 16 and can work on my rig.  So chances are your better with an older vehicle.  I mean hell my neighbor has a 24 year old car that still gets better MPG than a new toyota.  So go old and go FORD!!!!
