760,000 2006-2011 RAV4s recalled along with 18,000 2010 Lexus HS 250hs for rear suspension issue where rust formation may lead to eventual separation of rear suspension arms. Currently there is no solution ...

Been there, repaired that.

Rust seperation on a 2010 that's pretty impressive. Toyota learned how to quicken rust formation

Theres another 7.4 million!!

LOL i meant to post that last one up the other night

How can anyone still buy from them?

Easy. They aren't American, so they must make good products.

ding ding ding

I keep telling people, Toyota is no better than GM or Ford anymore. Back in the like late 80 and early 90's maybe, but they have stepped up IMO. They are more dirtbag for trying to cover up the whole acceleration issue

Also a ding ding ding.

They looked like galactic ****heads for the acceleration deal, and I think they learned a lesson about American culture vs. Japanese/Asian culture. We don't stand for that ****. Hence, they have been above board with recalls ever since. Which begs the question about what was going on before.

As far as the import/domestic thing, that happens everywhere. Here Levis jeans are normal but not really designer or desired. Just regular stuff. In Japan they will fork over a fistful of yen for preworn, beat up American pants.

Yet all the Toyota fanbois say how it is an American company now :rollseye:

Different argument.

At the end of the day, the profit goes back to Tokyo. Just covering USA operating costs does not make it an American company.

That is always my retort :-P

Not to mention all of the research, development & engineering. That all happens overseas.

shame... my moms camry is a great car (2009)

:lol: fuggin spiders. Usually find them in the evap hoses or filler neck vent line.

My parents have an' 04 corolla (202k miles so far) and '05-06 rav4..no issues whatsoever. Worked for Toyota up until '01 (thru college) and they had a quality product w/very little defects back then. The dealership was joint w/vw and vw was half the car yota was back then in terms of reliablility and longevity. Can't comment on the new vehicles as I don't know about them any longer but as far as recalls, it appears toyota haven't been taking any chances on anything from the acceleration debockle and are issuing recalls quickly.

Gm has stepped up their game and is definitely an equal vehicle now-a-days however each vehicle can/does have its share of issues. My '03 is300 had a heated seat issue and headliner falling after 1000miles. My wife's '11 equinox had 2 sets of cam actuators/sensors, a reprogram on the ecu to fix the actuators issues (after mine was diagnosised...under campaign) . This was at after 6-7k miles and I just got it back from gm under warranty for a cracked exhaust manifold at 59k miles...so far the '12 Silverado has been fine for me after 13.5k miles. Bottom line, buy a car and hope for the best as they all can have issues.

I worked for Toyota for 4 years 2006 - 2010.... no complaints and nothing horrible. I wanted a v6 5speed Camry or a 6speed rolla as well....
