    I dunno man.. regardless of the arguements of 'chevy sucks, ford sucks, etc' .. .i will always buy an american car as long as there are american car companies.. my boss has a 2007 camry.. and im scared for him to get in that situation.

    the failure rate is something like .000000008%. i dont even know how to say that. the media enjoys blowing things out of portion and getting everyone into a panic. toyota is just being proactive on recalling an extremely small potential hazard. also, it's only higher mileage units that are likely to be affected. i doubt any of the 2009 and 2010 models are high mileage yet.

    and for the record, toyota is as american as chevy at this point. we need to get over our brand loyalties and recognize a great product when we see it.

    Exactly. Toyota is doing a voluntary recall versus being mandated by the NHTSA to require a recall. Its actually a good move on Toyota's part.

    True, but also 18 deaths from sticking pedals. (was on news this am)

    Now that this is a recall and several deaths. SHEEESH! Thats alot of loot going to those families. They are just trying to keep themselves from being sued out of business
