How Obama Is Killing Foreign Auto Makers

                                                           Above is Toyota's president, Akio Toyoda

Before anybody complains against Toyota, please realize that one has only a 8% chance of having a problematic car. This also depends on how well you maintain your Toyota car.

Just because of this recall and publicity, does not mean Toyota has declined on reliability. Toyota halted sales for a particular reason- the floor mat. Complaints have been made against the floor mats moving underneath the gas pedal accelerator and thus trapping the mat underneath it. Other car manufacture have similar problems and not exactly take actions such as Toyota would. Nissan's suspensions has problems, they know about this but didn't halt vehicles, Honda's ball joint tends to come off especially from the back wheels (a serious problem), Ford's tires especially BF Goodrich pops unexpectedly and minor brake failure has been reported, and Chevy's has automatic transmission problems, so does General Motors, Chrysler, Cadillac.

Toyota is doing its best to help to customers. Toyota realizes that American Consumers have made Toyota what it is today- a successful car marker. People must be cautious when she/he hears the news, "Oh if we drive a Toyota now we'll die." Toyota is not a bad company; in fact, Toyota took smart decisions to make their vehicles more safer for future generations. I commend  Mr. Toyoda for coming to America to testify in front of Congress. Mr Toyoda was quoted,  

"I will be happy to attend. I will speak with full sincerity," Toyoda told reporters Friday in Nagoya, near where the company is headquartered.
"I am hoping our commitment to the United States and our customers will be understood," said Toyoda, grandson of the company's founder. 


Toyota has taken the right steps to ensure American Consumers are safe.
