LaHood used to be the head of NHTSA, and now Sec of Transportation.

The BIG ONE!

Toyota and Biller have been involved in a tangle of litigation in state and federal courts for months, centered on 6,000 internal documents obtained by Biller.
He says the documents show a pattern of illegal behavior in which Toyota fraudulently withheld evidence in product liability cases.
At Toyota's urging, the documents have been kept confidential by court order since last summer.
But now a California arbitrator is considering whether they can be made public.
Attorneys for Toyota and Biller made their final filings in the matter last week, and a decision is expected soon.
If the arbitrator rules in Biller's favor, a legion of plaintiff's attorneys are waiting to reopen long-closed cases against Toyota.
Although the allegations don't directly concern Toyota's growing sudden-acceleration headache, the Biller case is another assault on the automaker's credibility, which has taken a hit in the current crisis.

sticky gas pedal, brake failure...

soo if I got this right...American Cars may break down on you. And Toyotas may just kill you...

BigAls87Z28 02-03-2010 06:27 PM
If anyone didnt catch it. The Daily Show's first segment was on Toyota, and was hilarious. Got to see it in person, it really made me feel good.

toyota is falling apart, this is awsome

BigAls87Z28 02-04-2010 11:42 AM
Its was on CNN, and this lawyer says that the number recalled is really only half of what should be. The Prius is also being looked into as well, and that is still built in Japan.
Steve Wozniak, co-founder of Apple, his 2010 Prius has escaped him a few times.

Watching all the GM nutswingers coming out is gonna be great :lol:

BigAls87Z28 02-04-2010 11:49 AM
Its not only GM, its everyone. But you're a douche, so you pick out GM only as they are the only ones to benefit.

Tsar 02-04-2010 11:57 AM
I don't really see any other forums celebrating that toyota is doing ******. The only people that are happy are the one's that buy GM product, at least from what I've seen.

I don't have an ill will towards Toyota like you do, I just dislike their product because it's boring.

Not that GM makes things that are much better...

I agree, but i also worked at Toyota, so I know their dealings, glad to see them go down in flames, and at the very least, their reputation tarnished. now if Honda can get knowcked down a couple notches, it'll make for an interesting buyer market.

It's definetly out there. Most places aren't relishing in Toyota's overall damaged rep more than they are talking about how it's a dose of reality regarding their position in the industry. They are just like every other car manufacturer- making mistakes, worried about profit and sales, and are trying to fight the massive amount of negative PR.

:werd: They're just like everyone else even though a majority of people think they're run by Jesus and Co.

I think I have been a fan of cadillac as long as I have posted here. And after my mother bought one, I became even a bigger one. That's about the only thing I like about GM. I can see the appeal of the vette, but I would rather buy something else, so it's not for me. I think the rest of their line up is rather poor.

And just so I cover more than GM, Chrysler is there too. I really hate that car with green leafs (I think it's ford fusion)... they (leafs) increase in size as you drive more economically. :lol:

SOFTWARE!?!?!?!?! What the hell:?: Do they expect a car to last forever that uses some form of electronics for braking? What happens when people buy them like 5th or 8th hand and they are dilapidated POS's and the electronics are on the way out. :scratch:

BonzoHansen 02-05-2010 12:13 PM
abs, traction control....

Knipps 02-05-2010 12:37 PM
I drove a lexus w/ magnetic brakes before, that was quite the experience... I couldn't imagine being in the car if those failed :shock:
