Is Toyota really still that good?

**Gtek-i** · 07-23-2006, 12:20 AM

Nope. Sources tell us that Toyota are beginning to have quality issues with their cars, especially their larger vehicles (Sienna, Tundra, 4Runner etc.). These cars, INCLUDING Lexus (RX, GX, LX), are getting called back for problems. Toyota cars never (maybe once) been called back in history! They say that is because of Their sudden expansion, they didn't have enough time to look into their quality. Toyota's chairman has already apologized and is hoping that Toyota will return to its usual quality.

Toyota never been called back in history?

EVERY manufacturer has had to make recalls and such over the years. Toyota having problems isnt anything new.

As far as I can recall in Australia, a number of corolla's, (or echoes?) and prius' had to be recalled, nothing new with manufacturers really.

yeah i could aree to that, owning a 2001 Toyota Highlander, it has had numerous recalls for random things and we've had some problems with it, a faulty HVAC sensor, not giivng any heat when wanted (cost like $1,000 to fix luckily warranty covered it) and recently a hole in the exhaust. after 5 years and some snow and all other weather living in NYC with 50.000 miles

I do not usually use this term, but "owned" applies here very well.

**Gtek-i** · 07-23-2006, 02:05 PM

yes, it is getting "owned" by Honda/Acura and Mazda
