Toyota reliability for you :)

Toyotas are crap. My mother has one, but it's such a terrible car. It's poorly built, with cheap materials. It smells bad. They lied on the hp output. It's slow. The ride is nauseating. It doesn't handle. And it's NOT reliable. The engine sounds tired all the time as if it's going to let go any minute. It's developed some rattle somewhere. It's so easy to scratch the nasty hard plastic panels. And it's making noises inside the steering column. We took it to the dealer, but the jerkass service man practically said that we were imagining it.

Hey, atleast they're recalling them ;) My family's track record with Toyota has been amazing.. All of our recent toyotas (bought 10 years ago) have 100,000+ miles and have been beaten to death by a teenage version of me. And they still take a good beating from me ;)


You bought the wrong toyota then.. they are economy cars, not sports cars. They are reliable, most likely you got a lemon. And another thing is to check the VIN for JP in the front which means that it was built in Japan..

It was indeed built in Japan. And it's a camry.

LMFAO!!!! what a total load of BS that isn't based on anything this side of reality :D

my families history with Jeeps, Dodges, Fords, Lincolns, Pontiacs, etc. are all 100% reliable ;)

you might be stupid if you think recalls affect every single car covered under the recall... or even a significant portion of them... the liability costs of if something goes wrong too many times out weights the cost of issuing the recall bulliten.

some people really have no idea how it all works... E^x people, taht is reliability in a nutshell ;)

1 million cars, 3 years, across the globe? That isn't much considering Toyota is one of the best selling brands. At least, that's what I think
And this can happen to any manufacturer, doesn't matter how reliable their cars normally are.

Ford Reliability For You :) :P

And those are just two of the 6,060,000 websites retrieved when I typed "Ford Recall News" into Google. When typing in "Toyota Recall News" I "only" get 1,550,000 hits back =p

Face it, every single automotive manufacturer has some type of reliability problem every once in a while. But now that Toyota has a recall, you decide to post it up as if it is some form of defense against the constant scrutiny American cars go through. Open your eyes, Japanese cars tend to be more reliable than their American counterparts. This isn't meant to be a personal attack against you nthfinity, but more like an attack against your arrogance and stubbornness when it comes to your perception on American reliability.

this is a breaking news section. my post was based on information less tehn 24 hours old. welcome to last year Zot :roll:

Edit, or should i say April 2001 WTF

oh, and about my arrogance... i gurantee i know more about reliability then 99.9% of everyone on this forum.
and, where oh where did i mention that american cars are more reliable then japanese cars? NOWHERE.

your attack couldn't be more personal

somebody was stupid, and mentioned that their Yodas have historically been reliable. I pointed out the falacy of his argument by stating the truth that my families history with domestics has been identical to his with the Yoda's.

that has ABSOLLUTELY nothing to do with anything you said. you clearly just hate american cars, and want to make it an US vs. Them thread like so many other places.

my "arrogance" comes from years of study, and in hours and hours of dealings with big wigs in the major manufacturers.... where does yours come from?

There are less strict laws covering these types of things over seas.

Many coutries have NO such bodies that would require certain level problems be adressed by mandatory recalls, and are only voluntary company recalss.

Ummm.... :roll:

Did you dyno it?


The word fast probably never appeared in the catalog.

What do you expect? it's a Camry, majority of Camry owners drive it slowly.

How old is ur car (given that it's build in Japan, I suppose it's 10+ yrs). What broke so far?

Did it?

When the steering turn to its max, stop trying to turn it more, it kills the steering. Lots of women drivers do that.

Change dealer.

^ Well done :)

hey Zot09 don't get me started with Honda/Acura they have huge reliability issues on their newer vehicles like if you own one the trans WILL be replaced before 100K guaranteed on anything between like 98-03 and some newer but then newer haven't really gotten to those miles yet. Honda had a recall on airbags not too long ago. they had one on front struts on MDX and Pilots, a tire recall on 04-05 TL's and those are all recent as in the last year or two. Rattles are a way of life on Acura's all the 05 RL's had to have the Navi and XM computers replaced/reflashed. they are having some problems with their CMBS hardware. Fuel injectors are becoming a common thing on recent MDX's. that's all I can think of for right now. so hows that for a Japanese companies reliability?

what? you mean that Honda's make unreliable cars that need warentee work too? Impossible :wink:

Toyota have outsourced all its production except for Lexus, to places like Thailand. Quality control has thus diminished. I'm not surprised that they're not as well-built anymore.
