This Toyota bashing is funny. Proof that uneducated people will stand behind shitty products as proof by the success of Walmart. Toyota has been the leading manufacturer in reliability for over 20 years. At least Toyota did something immediately and had a recall. Fuck, when Fords Explorers were flipping upside down because of bad tires they ignored the problem hoping it would just go away.

I find it pretty funny too. It seems to be THE thing to argue about on forums right now.

Really?

After ignoring the sudden acceleration problem for more than five years, Toyota has expanded its multiple gas pedal recalls of more than 9 million vehicles for a fifth time to include Toyota vehicles sold in Israel.

I believe it from the recall list that goes back to 2005.

was it the tires, the underinflation, or the dipshits thinking their SUV = sportscar and could turn like one that was the issue there?

It was written off as inflation issues and people driving a truck like it was a 2-seater, but they obviously saw the need to do SOMETHING about it. When I bought my Dakota, the American companies were running scared over tire failures. There was a warning taped to the dash of my new truck, saying that it was very important to maintain tire pressures. It wasn't necessary with me, because I'm anal about tire pressure.

Even so, all 4 of my tires split at the sidewalls in under 35K Kms. When I went to the dealer about it they said that it wasn't their problem, and that I should go talk to Goodyear. If I'd bought my tires from Goodyear, rather than the dealer, that might have been a reasonable response. At my next service after that they asked if I wanted to get new tires (which obviously I already had). That service advisor likely went home with bleeding ears that night.

The OEM doesn't warranty tires.
