Toyota troubles

With Toyota recalling their cars, it's kinda scary thinking of all those potential problems since I have been driving the affected models. The Prius in USA and the Corolla here. And both have seemingly different problems too! One with the brake and accelerators and another with the steering? Gosh! I was pretty impressed with the Prius for its fuel economy as well as the smooth running engine and I did not have any problems with the accelerator. And thankfully so, as I recalled zooming past 70 miles per hour on the winding mountain roads of Tahoe on a snowy night.

And now there's word on the Corolla being messed up too? Well it did sorta mess up for me this CNY. The front latch securing the bottom plate to the front bumper came loose and that resulted in this bottom plate being dragged along the road as the car was moving. Had to stop at the side of the expressway to emergency black-tape the plate back up. Yep you heard me....black-tape...the same kind we use to secure unwanted loose ends for our packs in the army. Upon closer inspection of the latch, saw that it was made of rubber?!? Wow....seems like Toyota really cutting corners this time...

News on possible Corolla recall...can I get a new car?


I say...let's stick it up to Toyota! (Pic of the Prius I drove in the US)
