Toyota Recall Drama

Toyota has taken a big blow this year and last year. They have had some major recalls on some of their products. My family personally has two Toyota's and one Lexus, which is a a Toyota made line. We love their cars and never had a doubt in them. We have a 2000 Toyota Sienna, a 2009 Lexus ES #350, and a 2010 Toyota Rav-4. We have a lot of faith in Toyota and that's why all of our cars are their products. When the recall first started the whole nation was concerned. Toyota was doing so well while a lot of other car manufacturers were failing. They had an edge on their competition. Efficient, reliable, and affordable cars. Once the recall was announced my family stayed true to Toyota and knew that they could fix what ever problems they were having, in this case, the accelerator getting stuck on the floor mat causing the car to never stop. We were not experiencing these problems at all but we still got a letter from Toyota telling us to send in our car for a day, take a replacement car, all for free. They just wanted to make sure all their products were safe and to make sure that they weren't putting anybody in danger.
A lot of this hype was complete nonsense. Since some people took advantage of the recall and when they got into accident and got speeding tickets. This was just their excuse of getting out of any trouble they were in. There is really no way check if the pedal did or did not get stuck in that specific car so many people got out of their tickets and sued Toyota for putting them in danger.
A lawsuit was recently settled from last year's accident near San Diego. This is the accident that started the whole recall in the first place. Since the lawsuit was settled, Toyota can now focus on trying to get rid of the recall problem.
A case that was particularly hurtful to Toyota was one where a police officer was killed. He was driving a Lexus ES and his car went out of his control. There is a recording on the police radio of police officer Mark Saylor saying "There's no brakes!" This piece of evidence is a low blow to the whole Lexus company and the Toyota company, in result.
This recall has been a major issue in the United States, and all around the world but my family and I have never lost faith in Toyota and their ability to make good cars. Even though most of the cases are fake, their still our some real ones out their but we hope that Toyota can fix them soon. The Prius seems to be the car with the most problems so I recommend not purchasing a Toyota Prius in the near future. Good luck new car buyers!
