Texas-South Chapter Leaders
Like many of us, I have been watching with interest the problems with Toyota. I have owned a Toyota truck and it was a nice truck that got great gas mileage. I have owned a Nissan SUV and my wife drove a Honda at one time. I currently drive a GMC truck and it has been probably the best truck I have ever owned. I recently ran across this article.
In the article, Roy Exum pointed out that Toyota, the world's largest automotive manufacturer has been ridiculed and debased after recalling 8.5 million automobiles due to a variety of acceleration, transmission and floor mat issues. During this same time, General Motors just recalled 1.3 million cars for steering problems. What? You didn't see that? Where were the TV cameras?
In the last 20 years, there have been 569 recalls of Toyota vehicles. At the same time, there have been 3,498 recalls of General Motors vehicles. Yes, there have also been 2,691 Ford recalls and 2,419 Chrysler recalls, too. Do those numbers tell you anything, particularly if you are a fortune-teller? I think the future is going to be very interesting when all the dust settles.
Toyota has been rumored to be developing a heavy duty pickup. If this comes to fruition, what do you think will happen to the Big 3?
