It was the extension cord! It was made in AMERICA! Obviously nothing could be wrong with the Toyota Mower! :hail: TOYOTA
I think that is an ironic part of the Toyota situation, the faulty part is from an american supplier. Of course it has nothing to do with engineering. Wonder what they say when the next camry that burns up has a 'J' at the beginning of the vin #?
A little defensive you are, how am I bashing Toyota? Just for the record, 3 of those 'gas-guzzling' vehicles get better mileage than the comparable Toyota. Toyota has nothing to compare to the CTS-V, a car that is unbelievably fun to drive.
Yes, Toyota screwed up bigtime, I admit. But that's one (or two, if you consider the sudden acceleration recall and Prius g3 recall two separate issues) screwup as opposed to the hundreds of thousands of screwups GM made.
So toyota has made maybe two screw-ups and GM has made hundreds of thousands. You should change your name to fair-and-balanced....just kidding. A question for you, of the hundreds of thousands of screw-ups GM made, were they ever on this scale?
And the Americal company that makes the part outsources production to China. :rant: As for the video, 3M office cleaner works great for getting coffee stains off of video monitors.
Can some of you take a break from insulting each other and trying to prove your superiority to post some more jokes?
Well I think the CV Joint locking up in the 1997 to 2003 GM vehicles was pretty dangerous, since they went out at any point in time, or the fires caused by leaking gaskets, seems those were a little more dangerous.
I had a 1997 Pontiac Grand Prix, stop playing innocent, I was on forums and there were many complaints of the CV going out, at all times, going down the road, parking, turning, it would just go out, causing you to have to use major effort to steer. I had it happen to me, and had to pay a lot of money to have it fixed, eventually GM decided to do a recall of sorts. If you are a GM person like you claim, you know that. Plus the 3800 had bad gaskets that tended to leak oil, which pooled and rested on the engine, that oil would sometimes get hot enough to cause fires, again, if you are a GM person, you should even know about that.
You are equating those two items with this Toyota mess? Those would be much closer in comparison to the tundra rust problem then the Toyota sudden acceleration disaster.
Yes, those were worse, GM's track record isn't great, and you know it, neither is Ford or anyone else, so stop playing high and mighty, Toyota got caught with its pants down finally, thats good, I have faith that they will come back stronger, not sure about GM. I've been a long time fan of GM, owned GM since my 1964 Chevy Impala, and wish them well, hoping for a day I can go back to them, that day is not now. I could of had almost $10,000 in GM bonuses and incentives last month, and I though, hey, let me check out GM, and you know what, there was not one single vehicle that I was interested in, that was very sad to me.
Just because your in a hurry to watch The Superbowl does not mean you can plug the mower into 220 to cut twice as fast, or 440 to get done in 1/4 of the time.....
