Say It Isn’t So…Another Toyota Recall!

Toyota is not doing to well lately. It seems they have one hurdle to get over and another one comes. Some where Toyota lost something or someone that was doing the best job of having the reputation in America that they were dependable. I see them now just like so many other manufacturers. Engineers need to slow down and really see what they are designing, if it will work. Instead, consumers months or years later, start to receive recall letters. It is such an inconvenience to visit the dealership to take care of things that should never be an issue. Especially, if you do not receive some kind of “loaner” vehicle. Silverado Deals Bradenton has reliability and customer service with a loaner program if needed.
Toyota now has another recall, say it isn’t so. Toyota will be repairing 1.53 million Avalons and Highlander’s for two different problems. The break master cylinder seal and the fuel pump wiring, need to be repaired due to leaks. Toyota does plan on recalling vehicles in the U.S. alone, separately and is deciding on whether or not to file an official recall in other countries. The numbers for just the U.S. are about 740,000 Avalons, Highlander, Lexus GS300, the IS 250 and IS 350. It does not only effect the U.S. but the other countries also, awaiting will be South America, Oceania, Africa, China and Europe. One reason Toyota will recall vehicles in the U.S. separately is because with the unintended acceleration, reports showed that the company knew of the problem before it devastated so many lives. They waited to long before notifying National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. So, Toyota was fined a hefty fine. Toyota paid it with no questions asked. Cincinnati Ford has reported the high amount of trade-ins coming to the lot from Toyota.
There have been no accidents reported from these two defects. Toyota is not disclosing the impact of the cost of repairs this will have on the company itself. This revelation of another recall just came after the last announcement of almost two months ago. Toyota recalled the Corolla and the Matrix in the U.S. including Canada. An estimate of 1.3 million were recalled due to defective engine control modules that could cause the vehicle to stall. The other big recall that everyone knows about due to all the fatalities associated with them was the unintended accelerating and that carried 14 million vehicles recalled. Just looking at other recalls, Peoria Volkswagen has not had as many recalls compared to that of Toyota.
Toyota has a major mountain to overcome. American people are forgiving, but the hits just keep coming. Will Toyota ever recover from this? Only time will tell, but it does not help when the Lexus brand has recalls also. That is to be luxury and top notch, it is almost that it is being botched with the Camry’s and Avalons. I know I will never buy a used Toyota or even a new Toyota in years to come.
