Ford Agree Largest Recall in History - 4.5 Million Vehicles

...you mean like Toyota/Lexus's 3.8 million vehicle recall this month that included an apology by Toyota's Chairman last week? A Lexus killed 4 family members in California as it sped out of control at 120+ mph... I included a link if you are interested but there have been several stories in several different forums about this...Toyota has also been charged by a former employee with covering up defects which is now being investigated. Just like people...bad cars are made all over the world. Here is the link to Toyota press release: http://pressroom.toyota.com/pr/tms/toyota/toyota-consumer-safety-advisory-102572.aspx This is a link to the story http://www.justicenewsflash.com/2009/09/01/runaway-lexus-kills-4_200909012035.html

autoficianado if your user name is to imply that you are and auto industry aficionado then I would get my facts straight before perhaps putting down Toyotas actions. The accelerator issue has arose because people have been ignoring the warning labels and strict instructions Toyota gives not to stack floor mats. Furthermore the only way to get your pedal stuck in the first place is in the W.O.T. position..... and this even then can be over ridden in the neutral shift position. So Toyota has taken the proper approach with a technical service bulletin even though this was already warned against.

i meant they are STARTING to move in the right direction... not a big fan of american cars but you have to admit that the focus rs european version and the fiesta are pretty good overall perferming cars

I totally agree with you there. It just seems they can't make half descent vehicle in detroit.

you obviously don't know japanese culture

Yes it was a floor mat issue....Toyota investigated the incedent? Again if your driving it like a bat outta hell in the first place, I just don't think more needs to be said. alex_w115 "you obviously don't know japanese culture " You are 100% correct. Look at how Toyota is handling there issue and look at how Ford has tried to push this to the way side.
