Toyota has all these recalls and shit. Yet there still #1 in car sales, customer satisfaction, and ect. Yet my 07 Chevy Cobalt has had 2 recalls and 0 mention of it on the TV. Power steering pump goes out and the Fuel pump leaks. I got a letter telling me to NOT drive my car due to the possibility of a fire or explosion. and 3 out of 5 toyota pedal claims have been found and ruled "Driver Error". People who can't afford there brand new toyota's are simplying jumping on the wagon to get out of there lease and or contract.

My Toyota threw similar lamps over a cracked charcoal canister, I believe all those lights luminate regardless of which system is faulty... Not a 100% sure but that's how it was explained to me

fucking US assembled shit is what it is. The whole thing with the gas pedal was only on the American assembled ones. Japs know how to build and America produces shit. Hate on it.
