They are figuring this out now after there are how many recalls happening all the time...granted, Toyota is the worst thus far, but there have been millions of recalls in the past 5 years

If cars were built to last the automotive industry would go broke. Mass produced cars need to be shit

but they shouldn't fall apart so dang quick!

Though, my good car before this one was a rubbermaid car...someone backed into me the bumper went in and when they backed back up, it popped out....I remember that made me happy lol that was a 1998 plymouth breeze (I drive an 08 chevy cobolt now)

and let me tell you, I am so happy I didn't spend the extra money on the toyota like I wanted to!
