Toyota preparing to announce Prius fix next week

Toyota isn't alone. Ford Motor Company's own documents had data that showed that their vehicles equipped with Firestone tires had no margin for safey at high speeds or with under-inflated tires. Yet they did nothing until around 130 people died when their Explorers went flipping down the highway.

Speaking of doing anything for your money: GM began offering $1000 incentives for Toyota owners when the "acceleration" recall was announced only to reveal a week later that the NHTSA is investigating over 1100 complaints of power steering failures on the Cobalt that make it difficult to control the car. I actually laughed. A company with GM's miserable record for quality trying to cash in on another company's recall; only to announce yet another quality problem of their own a week later. Priceless.

It's fun to pile on Toyota right now because they are in the news but none of the others are any better. In fact, historically, they are much worse. No, I'm not a Toyota owner. I just see it for what it is.

Hardly more arrogant than GM or Chrysler who, along with their overly entitled union workforce, ran their companies into bankruptcy with horrible products and decades of horrendous workmanship. They then took billions in taxpayer money on the premise that they are too important to the American economy to fail. That's arrogance. I don't drive a Toyota but I would by one of those before I would buy anything from GM or Chrysler.
