Heard on the national news tonight that Toyota gas pedals are still sticking, even with out the floor mats in place.

just saw it as well.
then now an e-mail alert
2.3 mill vehicles.
NOT happy w/ toyota for not correcting this issue back last fall.
not to mention, a major inconvience. :smile0003:
i believe toy will take responsibility and rectify the issue.

Ford also put out Explorers that burned down houses.
Shit happens.
Control is an illusion. The more complex the product the more likely a few subtle defects will sneak through that only manifest themselves in the 1 in x0,000, or 1 in x00,000 range, depending on the conditions.

Didn't the cars explode when rear ended at 70 MPH while sitting on the side of the road? Not really unsafe is it?
I was just referencing your new years post that you were going to "Re-evaluate your loyalty".
For me, there is no need to re-evaluate my Ford loyalty. I already know it... :smile0007:

tom,
unlike something you would do, at least i man up and voice my frustration with this toyota issue. they f' ...d up.
will i stop buying toy's , NO , imo and experience they build one of the best auto mfg's out there .
btw, research the fuel tank problem on the crown vic. at least 5 million unprotected fuel tanks and at least a dozen deaths.

Caymen, I'm also reminded of the old Dateline NBC show where they rigged trucks to explode when t-boned. That was back when they put the gas tanks between the bedside and the frame rails.

Gas tank problems on a Ford? Surely not... :smile0017:
[Broken External Image]:
I have purchased Fords, Lincolns, Mercurys for almost 30 years, and will continue to do so.
Have also owned Buick, Oldsmobile, Plymouth, Chevy, Dodge, Pontiac, even 2 MG's. (those were fun!)
All have their issues. It comes down to how well, and how soon action is taken if a major problem is found.
If a company owns up to an issue, it sits well with me.

Well my wife's 06 RAV 4 is not yet being recalled (only 09-10) but I wonder if Toyota is just afraid to recall all at once like Ford. My 02 ST was not originally on the recall list but showed up a while later.
ps. except for the recalls I couldn't be happier with either vehicle and there's nothing out there I would trade them for.

Dave,
What kind of MGs did you own? My dad restored a MGA (not sure of year) and he now owns a yellow '73 MGB. Last generation before the American safety specifications made them resort to the taller stance and rubber bumpers...yuck. I was basically born into a family of MG enthusiasts. My uncle owns a blue '72 MGB and my Grandfather owned a red '53 MGTF and now owns a British Racing Green '52 (i think) MGTD
(I know its a little off topic, but I've had plenty of my threads hijacked before..)

Shaun,
I had a Red 72 MGB, all stock with twin SU carbs, 2 six volt bateries in series etc.. even had the optional hard top I used for winter on that one; and I had a White 77 MGB, with header, webber downdraft intake and webber carb and performance exhaust. The 77 would run rings around the 72 as far as power went, but the looks of the 72 were much better IMO. Dont have either one anymore, but wouldnt mind owning one again in the future.
Dont you just love lucas wiring...?

I forgot about that.

Gary,
This is a Ford Explorer Sport Trac website and I will put down anything that isn't Ford. I do not feel sorry for doing so either.

I have an early '56 MG Series A sitting in our garage. Need to get it back on the road as it is a really fun car to drive, and I like to watch peoples faces when I crank start it.
I have complained in the past, but I don't care to do so.
Have you or did you watch the news and become an expert?
Again, Ford website. I bash everyone that isn't ford.
Tom
