Toyota Recalls: Current Event 11/12/12

Toyota Recalls
            Toyota is recalling 2.77 million vehicles around the world for a water pump problem and a steering shaft defect that may result in faulty steering. No announcements were reported yet due to these problems said toyota but it is really scary thinking how your car could have so many problems you don’t know about. There are over 300 million people in the US and approximently 90% own cars. If you go by toyotas report that 2.77 million cars are being recalled then you can assume that 2.77 million people are at risk of faulty steering. Affected models include the Prius hybrid, Corolla, Wish and other models produced from 2000 to 2011 in Japan. If all of these models are affected it makes you wonder if yours could be even if it isnt listed. This is not the only recall that toyota has had in 2012 which makes it even scarier being a constant thing. Earlier this year toyota recalled 7 million vehicles for a faulty power-window switch that could cause fires. I wonder how many people actually have these problems even before they’re addressed.
            Do they sue toyota? Would you sue toyota? I know I would, If they didn’t address the problems of their vehicles then I don’t see why anyone wouldn’t sue. I mean faulty steering is a big deal because you could die and so is faulty power-window switch if your car catches on fire it could be fatal. My grandma has a toyota and so does my sister. If anything happen to them because of the toyota problems then you know my family would sue. Toyota’s defense is that these recalls were caused by the companys overly ambitious growth goals. So I think they’ve slowed down a bit and took into consideration to get better quality workers and machines.
