Hmm I drove a newish Toyota like 2 hours ago. Although I did not notice prado on the recall list. If the throttle gets stuck I'll place 2 feet on the brake and put it in neutral and pull up the handbrake aswell. Not hard really. How about turning the key off/pressing the engine stop button. I find it hard to believe all I said could still not stop it.

Due to the number of recalls in the past year I would have to say that we will see more. It would seem there was a general falling down of concern for quality that affects their entire line-up going back possibly to 2004 or even 2002. With the great halo effect that Toyota has had with their previous quality reputation the effects of the last recalls has not been enough to affect Toyota to the point of what would have happened to any American car company with the same problems, but I think they are nearing their breaking point and their faithful owners are going to say "That is just too many."
We'll see. Steve

This should put an end to the myth that Toyotas are reliable. I feel sorry for the families of those who have lost their lives because of this.

[/QUOTE] Study: More new car shoppers avoiding Toyota, but brand still near top of consideration lists by Zach Bowman (RSS feed) on Dec 20th 2010 at 3:29PM According to Automotive News, new car shoppers are beginning to shy away from Toyota thanks to the company's less-than spotless quality and safety reputation as of late. A new study by J.D. Power and Associates has revealed that around 19 percent of new car buyers surveyed said that they had steered clear of Toyota because of the company's sullied reputation. Last year, that number was a mere 3 percent. Even worse for the Japanese manufacturer, around 15 percent of those in the study said that they'd personally had a bad experience with the automaker and another 15 percent said that they were concerned about the future of Toyota. Those numbers mark a 12 and an 11 percent increase over last year's figures, respectively. Even so, according to the J.D. Power and Associates study, Toyota is still the third most considered automaker out there, falling just behind BMW and Honda. In a separate study, Kelley Blue Book found that Toyota is still the number-one most considered automaker, even in spite of the company's rash of recalls and safety woes.
