According to this Mornings news,The Toyota Recall Replacement Parts are Not working on Some Cars (about 8 Cars So Far!) The 8 Cars are Still Having the Same Problem with the Accelerator Pedal causing the Motor to Surge like Before! So my "Guess" would be that "Once" Toyota Finally Figures out what the Problems are with the Surging then there Just might be More Business for the Expeditors!

I want to know why is this a problem with just Toyota? How many cars use the same type of system and how many have these problems?
Listening to some of the people in interviews as they are readying their law suits over the issue of "surging" acceleration, I have to call BS on a lot of what I heard. A car in park doesn't shift into drive and drive through a building. and they don't just start on their own and drive into the garage (I figure their 14 year old daughter and her boyfreind may have had something to do with it). How many times have we heard some old fart who couldn't figure out that he/she was stepping on the accelerator, not the brake and went through a 7-11?
I sat at lunch yesterday hearing about GM's woes, which makes this seem trivial, steering problems (more than just loss of control under 15 mph by the way), electrical shorts in wiring harnesses causing fires and sudden acceleration on some expensive junk they sell, nothing much in the news because they are covering as normal stuff for GM. I also listened to the diatrib of "Toyota hate" from a select few who were just about as ignorant as one can get, I assume UAW. They don't get the idea that Toyota's Quality Control has lapsed because of the people here accepting junk and Toyota respoinding by lowering standards. It is not Japan or the CEO of Toyota clueless while the CEO of GM is less in tune with his company but it illustrates the real problem - the consumer accepting crap to begin with.

All Valid Points Greg, I Don't have an ax to Grind with Toyota at All, Matter of fact I Really Like their Products,(Except the Hino) Lol. However I'm still wondering when the State Controlled Media will wake up and Start Telling "Everything" That is Wrong with GM and Chrysler Instead of helping to Cover it up?

What? Our press be honest and unbiased? Not in my lifetime. Never happen. No way. Not a chance.
Yeah, I Knew it was too Much to ask For, Especially with the Current Administration, Ya Know the One--The Messiah!

Yeah, our journalism schools are staffed by professors that were trained by Pravda!!
Yeah, that could be, or maybe a "combined effort"

Hino was bought by Toyota it's not a Eastern company it was native born, not there best acquisition to be sure, but it appears they are working to re-deign everything
Nope. Not since we lost Paul Harvey.
