More owners of Toyota vehicles say recall repairs aren't working
Some of the more than 60 drivers reporting incidents say sudden unintended acceleration has happened to them more than once since having modifications done at dealers.

More than 60 drivers have complained of sudden acceleration incidents despite the fact that their cars were repaired by Toyota Motor Corp. in the current recalls, new data released Thursday show.

The latest figure, released by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, significantly increases the total number of complaints involving repaired vehicles, which was less than 10 on Tuesday. The new complaints allege several accidents and at least three injuries resulting from runaway unintended acceleration despite the vehicles' undergoing a series of modifications at Toyota dealerships designed to resolve the issue.

3. I'm thinking of a Toy-Toto

Instead of a standard driver seat, the Toy-Toto comes with a Toto toilet; ready always in case the gas pedal, brakes, cruise control (etc., etc., (fill in your favorite)) goes amok and scares the shit out of the driver.

4. I drive a Toyota Scion.

It works great. No gas pedal problem. Fancy that.

We really need a new word for this type of xenophobia.

5. It's not xenophobia.

It's hatred of a company who gets subsidized by their government to ruin our economy.

Granted, our politicians haven't done much about putting a tariff on foreign trade and/or built-in-America-owned-by-multinationals products.

[Kalyke]

13. Agreed.

I live in one of those right-to-be-fired... I mean... right-to-work (sic) states, as well.

I'm fending off Nissan and Volkswagon. :grr:

6. 60 recalled vehicles still have problems?

Maybe we should call it denial.

7. How many Toyotas were bought with pre-dispute binding arbitration clauses that would take the

problem out of the civil court for resolution?
