FWIW, the government forced Toyota to recall the accelerator pedal, not Toyota. And as stated, this went on for many many years without accepting blame.

Just imagine the information about BMW that I'm NOT passing on to all you mear mortals.....

[mr burns] excellent....

muahahahahaha

I'm curious, where do you pull this stuff from? Wait, I really don't want to know

The same is happening with the Tundra trucks.

Well no shit it wasn't just the rust.

The letter they sent me stated the frame could crack BEACASE of the rust. They did replace thousands of trucks, with no Government pushing.

Fuck dude, they must have combed through a shit ton of DMV registration records, to even find me in the first place. I bought it used from a private party, and never once went to a dealership for service.

Explain that.

As said... they were forced. many auto makers do recalls on a volutentary basis. This definately wasn't one of them.

Agreed!

You don't know me so shut your fucking mouth and crawl back under your rock.

I would not state that for Toyota. For jap motors... I think I would say Honda. Honda beats Toyota down every day of the week.

The only problem with Explorers was that the owners manual only specified like 25 psi or something low like that, and on top of that, most drivers don't bother checking, so a lot of them probably dropped to 20 psi or less. Combine soft, mushy tires with evasive manuevers and a high center of gravity, and see what happens.

Combine soft, mushy tires with Blonde female drivers and inattentive driving, and see what happens.

Apparently you have never bought a Class 3-8 truck because you would be dealing with different vendors for your engine, transmissioin, rear end, cab/chassis and tires.
