All cars have problems, Toyota's are still pretty good.

In all my years in service, I can't even begin to count how many cars I've gotten into with the floor mat jammed damn near up into the fuse box it's so far up under the pedals.. I don't believe or disbelieve this. Not til all the facts are in.. Remember that everyone was sure that their Audi ran away on it's own.. 60 Minutes showed that with rigging the cruise control, upping the trans line pressure to 12 billion psi and if elephants were stampeding during a solar eclipse, they could duplicate it. I've seen too many people do too many a stupid thing with their cars, and BLAME the car, to rush to judgment. I owned one car that the pedal stuck to the floor. My "Fake GTO" - 72 Lemans Sport with a slightly warmed over 400 Trans Am motor. A bad motor mount caused the linkage to bind during a smokey burn out.. I was able to bring it under control and that engine made a touch more power than an Avalon..
