I meant Toyota's management/execs LACK of integrity is a risk. Let's not forget the internal emails that leaked out about them gloating for skimping on safety procedures/recalls. As far as safety goes...they've had ABS/brake system problems, floor mat issues, steering issues, shaft issues, and accelerator problems as well. This was beyond a "typical" recall, especially given the vast number of problems in such a short time span.Originally Posted by TacC4
Huh? So I'm risking TOYOTA'S integrity by purchasing a car from them? Seems like, if anything, I'd be risking MY integrity by buying a Toyota. What other safety concerns should I have? Every car, from every manufacturer can kill its occupants and other drivers. You're driving 3000+ lbs of metal and plastic @70mph. Please don't tell me you think that driving a car is inherently safe, and has only been made dangerous by Toyota. If you have other safety concerns then you're going to have to bike/bus/train/walk your way around town or build your own car because every major manufacturer has had a recall at some point in its history.Originally Posted by Juice2352

What's the risk? You taking a chance that you're not smart enough to put a car in neutral? Wooooooooah, don't go too far out on that limb.In the immortal words of Tom Sizemore, "Its not a spaceship *+@*%%!, drive."
