The longer the lid is left on the worst it's going to be when removed. It's looking like these folks have really been doing a S'load of hiding problems [[and facts) from the consumer..

"WASHINGTON — Complaints of deaths connected to sudden acceleration in Toyota vehicles have surged in recent weeks, with the alleged death toll reaching 34 since 2000, according to new consumer data gathered by the government.
Complaints to a database maintained by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration about the popular Toyota Prius hybrid grew by nearly 1,000 in just over a week."
This is what is going to be their undoing:
"Testing by Toyota, NHTSA and Exponent, an outside consulting firm hired by Toyota, has found no evidence of problems with Toyota's electronics, said Toyota Vice President Bob Carter at the National Automobile Dealers Association convention in Orlando, Fla.
"There is no problem with the electronic throttle system in Toyotas," Carter said Monday. "There's not anything that can even remotely lead you in that direction." Carter said Exponent was told to tear the components apart to try to find anything wrong and initial tests could find nothing.
Carter said Toyota has repaired about 500,000 of the 2.3 million vehicles recalled over a potentially sticky gas pedal."
Let me get this straight, they are not sure what is wrong with them, but they've repaired 500,000 so far? Man what a CF in the making.. Their arrogance and refusal to admit a real problem, is going to take a heavy toll on them going forward.
