Now I understand and appreciate the problem (a rather big one) but I am sick of hearing total idiots say now that Toyota's are bad cars because of one bad defect just because they hear it on the news. Now I am not partial to Toyota (except 4th gen Supra...) but as a mechanic and someone who understands production, I know that they are still far superior products to the American variants. This is also coming from the mouth of someone who also loves American muscle but also understands that our new automotive products have been junk for many years. I am just wondering if anyone else out there can't stand listening to the propaganda being blurted out about an otherwise very respectable company and the governments b.s action towards them. Hell, who remembers the Firestone/ford exploder incidents? The media and government didn't get nearly as involved in that...

Say what? The media was all over the Firestone debacle when it happened.
