Toyota, the world's largest automaker, faces at least 30 lawsuits
filed on behalf of customers in the U.S. and Canada seeking a range of
damages from loss of cars' value to a return of profits.

The class actions, in U.S. state and federal courts and Canadian
provinces, demand compensation for flaws including those disclosed in
Toyota's recalls over sudden acceleration of its vehicles. More than
half the cases go beyond the floor mats and pedals cited by the
company.

The number of cases has grown daily in the past week. The company also
faces at least 10 lawsuits brought by individuals claiming deaths or
injuries caused by uncontrollable acceleration of vehicles.

Nah. He was looking at a Chevy Cobalt and a Corolla at the same time, and
decided to save a few by buying the Cobalt, thanks to a smooth talking
salesman.

Now he's pissed he didn't buy the Corolla now that his Cobalt is running
like crap, and it's just a case of sour grapes.

Your article doesn't state, but I'll bet 29 of those suits are in the US,
where it's easier to sue someone than it is to go to the store and buy
potato chips.

Jump suits.


The strange thing is, Toyota's been up front about the problems while
American companies like Ford, using the same parts, haven't yet
admitted they have problems. Bet it's only a matter of time.

With extra padding so that people who don't know what a shift lever is can
jump out before they kill themselves.

Buy a Ford or Mazda for any family member you want to see maimed,
dismembered or burned. Makes a great stocking stuffer (yes there are
actual taxidermy services that will pack all the charred bits into
nylon stocking tubes of flesh, in case you've got a sausage fetish).
Personally I'm not buying shit made in Mehico

I had an Escort once with a faulty accelerator. You could press it all
the way down to the bottom and it still took forever to get up to highway
speed.
