Bull, it only affects Pontiac Vibes, cause they're GMs, not Toyotas.

The article listed only lists the Corolla and Matrix and I would assume Vibe sold in NA, Puerto Rico and the US territories.
Where does it say anything about Only affecting Vibe's and only vehicles built by GM UAW personal? Because that would make or a far better story and "IF" true the media would eat it up.
I don't think there has been 539,500 Vibes sold total....

According to this article, over 500,000 corolla and matrix, with just over 100,000 being vibes.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20080410/...yota_recall_dc

And Toyota is recalling nearly 630,000 minivans in Japan.

http://biz.yahoo.com/ap/080409/japan_toyota_recall.html

Is there a website that lists all recalls? I'd like to know %-wise, which is manufacturer is having the most recalls. I know I have received my 5th recall notice for '02 Altima.

More bad news for Toyota, they are also having trouble selling as many Tundras and Sequoias as they want. $5000 rebate on 2008 Tundras

Whatever happened to that woman that was fired from this plant.
She said there were many quality & safety issues being overlooked at the plant. Especially by the plant management. I think she had a lawsuit going wih Toyota and/or GM.
Everybody called her a nut.
Could there be some truth to the things she claimed? Hmmmmm......

Yes they are overpriced! With the move to smaller crossovers I figure trucks will start to recede in price in the next 10 years.

Yeah, I got a $2000 rebate on my Tundra when I bought it in 2005 and the full size truck market is getting even softer now.
