Toyota is having real problems! That is not news, however, imagine trying to solve a problem which is near impossible to replicate. I am not a fan of foreign cars, yet having such a problem is an issue no manufacturer ever wants to face.
The problem is complicated by the accidents which have occurred. The most notable one involved an off duty California State Patrolman who was killed along with his three companions. What made this even worse is that his terror was recorded on 911 tapes. Unfortunately we not can relive his frightening ride while speeding out of control down the freeway.
Whatever the cause of the accident, whether it be the floor mats, the computer or some other glitch, the question is how long has Toyota known they had a problem. Is it a recent development or have they known for months or even years?
If it has been over 6 months, should the executives of the company both here and Japan be held responsible? If so, should they be subject to civil or criminal charges or a combination? What about them knowing for longer or shorter periods of time?
What happens if the problem is not corrected with the current "fix?" Should the cars be mandatorily removed from the road until they can be repaired? What happens to the person whose only car is a recalled Toyota. Does Toyota have to provide them with alternative transportation until the issue has been cleared up?
Let us know your opinion. I am interested.
