Product recall

As we all know, maybe not all. Toyota loss an estimate $2bn on recalls of its products. Brakes problem for their popular Prius and other hybrids. And a few other models in North America due to the accelerator pedal stuck at the floor mat. And also due to software malfunction causing the cars to accelerate on its own and some Prius keep on accelerating up to 150km/h on cruise control (couple with brake problems, that's the last place I want to be). UMW Toyota Malaysia are damn sure that all Toyota sold here are not affected because the design used here is a little bit different. different eh, so does that mean that our Toyota here is not good as the others? or maybe better (by accident) because they are sure we, Toyota drivers are safe. what about the Prius? I'm sure they are affected. UMW proudly announces when the Prius landed in our shore that they are fully imported from Japan. the affected Prius are from Japan. Prius drivers, beware...

Honda in the other hand also recalls 2 of its popular products. the Jazz of Fit and the City. due to problems regarding the power window, which will trap rainwater the car will catch fire, etc. it’s a bit technical. even I don't understand. In North America, they are recalling 2001 and 2002 model-year Accord, Civic, Odyssey, Pilot, CL, CR-V and 2002 Acura TL vehicles (BBC news)due to airbag. according to the news, the airbag may over inflated and burst thus be able to cause injury or death to the occupants.

Back to Malaysia, so far I heard only Savvy have been recalled before due to its suspension (I guess). wow, only 1. what about other models? I think almost all have issues in power window. Iswara with its speedometer malfunctioning.

Perodua doesn't have a product recall. simply because it's cheap and people don't simply care. all they care is the car moves and that's it.

But don't think that expensive cars don’t have problems. Rolls Royce has rust problems with one of their model. :p
