Toyota has no recalls in Japan?

You think we have it bad here in the USA with all of the Toyota recall issues. At least something is being done about it on our soil, but the whole issue stinks for all involved. I like to read The New York Times online everyday in the morning. I like the Washington Post as well. The NY Times is probably the best newspaper I have read.

Don’t you find it odd that no Toyota cars were recalled in Japan, where these tiny gas misers emanate from, and are driven in mass quantity? It is not directly a Toyota transmission problem, but the tranny is part of a system.

Do you remember some of the problems that have been created for the USA by farming out work out to China and Japan? Obviously they don’t put a premium on quality control. Do you think the American companies that farmed out millions of dollars of products to be manufactured in one of those two countries were very happy when millions of products did not meet US standards and had to be recalled?

I am not an economist, but wouldn’t it have been cheaper to make the products here correctly the first time? It can’t be cheaper to re-make or return every bad product to China or Japan for updates.

Back to Toyota’s. The story I read this morning was dang startling, but perhaps not expected. Millions of Toyota’s Recalled, none in Japan… Feeling her Toyota Mark X station wagon lurch forward at a busy intersection, Masako Sakai slammed on the brakes. But the pedal “had gone limp,” she said. Downshifting didn’t seem to work either. As shaken as she was by the accident, Mrs. Sakai says…

Unbelievable. No comment on how this issue is handled overseas. The point is America is still the best country in the world. Toyota owners can have their cars fixed here. At least we don’t try to put a lid on it, even though it stinks. Can you imagine being treated like Mrs. Sakai?
