Do you think people don't have problems with Toyotas? Toyota has one of the
wors Customer service policies of any companyy on the planet. They
practically invented the "it your fault, not ours" excuse for problems. My
ex had a '83 Cressida. It was the worst POS I've every been associated with.
Expensive, technologically backwards, unreliable, bad paint, horrible
transmission, crummy electricals, third rate A/C, etc., etc.. The only good
thing I can say about the car is that a Toyota drone bought it from me.
Ordinarily, I would assume we just got a bad one, but I've worked with too
many Toyota owners to think that Toyotas are anything special.

Look at http://kdka.com/consumer/local_story_154174957.html - Toyota had 3
vehicle in the top 25 in 2003. These numbers are not adjsuted for compalints
per 1000 vehicles sold, but are just raw numbers. Considering that the
Toyota vehicles listed are sold in relatively small numbers compared ot many
in the list, doesn't that make you wonder?
