Yet another car recall from Toyota happened today. This time it involves 1 million cars in the US. The main reason seams faulty engine control systems. If you remember last month another 700,000 cars were brought back to the constructor. We are talking at the moment of about 10 million in the past year. Things like sticking accelerator pedals, bad steering and even some engine problems are giving Toyota some bad headache.
This time the engine was the car part that failed at tests. Some officials declared that “in limited instances, the engine could stop while the vehicle is being driven”. Another problem is that sometimes the engine will not star from the 1st try.
“This recall is an example of our commitment to standing by our products and being responsive to our customers,” said Steve St Angelo, Toyota’s chief quality officer for North America.
“Our goal is to help ensure that Toyota drivers are completely confident in the safety and reliability of their vehicles.”
Toyota was fined $16 million so by the US authorities. With this one the number now reached 14 and we are talking only about 2010.
