Toyota Quality Update:

Common Cents is proud to bring you today's Toyota Quality Update.  As everyone knows Toyota vehicles are built with the highest quality with impeccable and undisputed quality.
In another blow to its quality image, Toyota Motor announced Thursday a second huge recall of vehicles for another problem that could cause the throttle to stick open.The latest recall involves 2.3 million Toyota-brand cars and trucks dating back to 2005 models. That follows a recent recall of 4.2 million Toyota and Lexus vehicles because floor mats could jam the gas pedal down. About 1.7 million are on both lists, Toyota said. In its latest announcement, Toyota cited problems with "certain accelerator pedal mechanisms." It gave no other specifics about the problem and said it is "working quickly to prepare the correction remedy." "This situation is slowly spiraling out of control. As a company with a reputation for steadiness, these must be uncomfortable days for Toyota," says James Bell, analyst at Kelley Blue Book, a car-shopping and price-researching service.  (Read the rest of the article here.)
