    Toyota a company of ZERO integrity and have spent nine years lying about the real cause of the fault. First it’s drivers pressing the wrong pedal, then floormats, now pedals, and very soon to be the truth -the electronic throttle control units. I know it’s expensive to fix but PLEASE do it now as people are dying and getting injured in your vehicles. Your time is up.

    READ THIS: toyota absolutely sucks, i mean i am so disgusted that they are failing to brake in the 21st century!! I just heard on the news that four people were on the highway in their Toyota when the car went out of control, accelerating to 120 mph and the brakes failing. They made a 911 call, and as they approached the intersection, you could hear their screams of terror. All four DIED in the accident that followed. For this, i will never forgive Toyota, no “apology” can save lost lives!!!!

    Like I always say, sorry that you got caught trying to keep a dime with all the bogus recalls. I’ve been anti Toyota since 1993 when I sold my last one. Those cars are no better than any other. MPV’s , Explorers, F150′s, C1500, Econolines, with 300k+ still running around. Bite me Toyota.

    You can’t expect Japanese to be sincere with their pretentious apologies. If they were truly sorry, they should have prevented further human casulties by recalling all models with defective parts instead of blaming the floor mat. Acquiescing a problem of this magnitude is a part of their “Win for Toyota” scheme.

    Hello everyone who wants to hang this guy up by his toenails. Before you grab him don’t forget about the Heads at the other car companies that made cars that caught fire in garages,gas tanks exploded when rear ended,turned over when tires blew out and dozens of other recalls.
    Let the Company without sin cast the first stone please. I hope the rocks stay in the pile since they ALL have come up short.

    These accidents and problems are due to HUMAN ERRORS and not mechanical failures.

    Furthermore GM had recalled a huge number of cars which are many times? higher than Toyota did.

    In short, GM and govt have no choice but to go begging Toyota for money in the name of negative campaigning.

    USA propaganda!!!!!!
    Shame on you USA for being so greedy!!!!!!!!!

    My Condolence to the Saylor family.

    The US Government & CIA were debating really hard? as to which family to sacrifice for this Grand-Delusion.

    Fire-Fighter’s family? or? Police Officer’s Family?

    Finally, they decided to go for a Police Officer’s family, and put a remote-controlled-accelerator on your car, much like how they did 911, sacrificing 3000 lives.

    And of course, the car caught fire, and the wiring all got burnt conveniently during the accident.

    One more thing OntarioJack, can you accept someone’s apologies? Do you have the patient? If not, then you are just stressed out crazy “I can not take this world how it is now” person. With your attitude, words don’t reach most of the people. please say other than “sushi, j-hole, etc..”

    kempeitai- Your name speaks VOLUMES about your stance. Of course the international audience has no clue as to what ‘kempeitai’ means, so I will inform them. It means the japanese secret service, kind of like the Nazi SS.

    Sad a pathetic how js don’t change.

    able- You are not able to think straight. If you are saying that about japanese you have no idea of what you are talking about. Either that or you are a j-hole trying to protect the false-positive image that the js have today.

    America looks good from outside, but from the inside they are black sheep. I feel deeply sorry for the Japanese people. May the Lord be with all of you good people.

    I don’t see why anyone would buy a Toyota. Your life is at stake whenever you step in a car. Do you really want to drive something where the company denies the problem, hides others and then blames others–including the driver–for the accident?

    I reject his apology. The fact that he didn’t want to come to the US and only confessed to regulators after THEY went to Japan shows how little he really cares about America. All he cares about is our money.

    @gagothesith
    “the damaging statement must be false–which does NOT even apply in this case”

    What??

    Of course, the deaths and the crashes are true.
    BUT these accidents and problems are due to HUMAN ERRORS and not mechanical failures.

    Furthermore GM had recalled a huge number of cars which are many times higher than Toyota did.

    In short, GM and govt have no choice but to go begging Toyota for money and a favor in the name of negative campaigning.
