Even if this problem is only minor (and similar to the recalss from other auto companies), the pattern of continued recalls is problematic for the company right now.

i4runner Veteran Author Orlando Posts:278 Points:59,910 Joined:Oct 2009	Message Posted: Jul 30, 2010 11:07:31 AM Ignore i4runner Report Abuse I think I will just continue to drive my 11 year old BMW with 235,000 miles on it. Only problem I have had is I had to have my transmission rebuilt at 210,000 and it cost me $1,900.00. I also get 30mpg on the highway. Why the heck would I want an overpriced Toyota/Lexus?
car253 Champion Author Ohio Posts:4,195 Points:1,031,620 Joined:Oct 2008	Message Posted: Jul 30, 2010 9:59:55 AM Ignore car253 Report Abuse I have a 10 year old GMC Sonoma pick up truck. Interior looks like new, exterior very good except where careless people put two dents in the side when they opened up their doors and hit the truck. I have a total of approx. $250 in unscheduled maint. repairs. No problem owning this American made product.
realtorguzzler Champion Author Florida Posts:1,488 Points:259,210 Joined:Jun 2010	Message Posted: Jul 30, 2010 9:47:18 AM Ignore realtorguzzler Report Abuse Still not convinced about American-made. My Buick's interior is coming apart! The dashboard popped up, the ceiling cloth droops all over, the windows stick and can't go up nor down, the hubcaps paint peels! My Ford Taurus' transmission gave out and wasn't worth $1000 without a repair of $2000.

They will get past this and do fine. However, I hope Ford keeps up the good work and completely surpasses Toyota on all fronts.
