SkyChimp 0 #1 January 30, 2013 Wow are they trying to go out of business to other manufactures? It seems like every 6 months to a year, Toyota is recalling vehicles. That can't help sales. http://www.news4jax.com/news/money/Toyota-recalls-1-million-cars-in-U-S/-/475848/18334552/-/ni2656/-/index.html Does anyone else find it funny that we made a SPORT out of an EMERGENCY PROCEDURE?!?!

Arvoitus 1 #2 January 31, 2013 Have I completely misunderstood what recall means or are people just woefully stupid? QuoteA nut on the Lexus windshield wiper arm may not have been tightened enough in the factory. If a driver tries to use the wipers while they're weighed down by heavy snow, the nut could loosen so much that the wipers won't sweep their full arc, even after the snow has been removed. There have been 25 reports of the problem, but no injuries have been reported as a result, Toyota spokesman Brian Lyons said. How the fuck do you get yourself injured because the windshield wiper doesn't sweep a full arc? And if it is just a nut, why can't you take it to a mechanic to have it tightened, or better yet, do it yourself.Your rights end where my feelings begin.

potatoman 0 #5 January 31, 2013 "no injuries have been reported" This is typical, sue toyota for a Million Dollars because the wiper whacked me in the face, due to factory defect. I can understand why they recall, simply put, it's a messed up system out there, and it is costing them more on law suits. Time I sue for riser slaps.You have the right to your opinion, and I have the right to tell you how Fu***** stupid it is.

If it's rain/snow and it doesn't make its full sweep, it wouldn't be surprising that it could limit your view."I may be a dirty pirate hooker...but I'm not about to go stand on the corner." iluvtofly DPH -7, TDS 578, Muff 5153, SCR 14890 I'm an asshole, and I approve this message Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Plus, if Toyota does it for you, it's within the scope of either express or implied warranty. Not so if you do it yourself. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
