From: Mike Hunter on 14 Apr 2010 18:06 That may be your opinion but apparently the NHTSA thinks something is wrong, it is fining Toyota millions of dollars for violating NHTSA rules for reporting safety defects.

From: Mike Hunter on 14 Apr 2010 18:39 Perhaps but the rules were in place long before BO took office.

Interesting. A SUV that could roll over if it's driven hard. Who'd have known? Sorry, but without a whole bunch of driving controls such as stability control turned on, it can happen with any SUV if anyone drives enough like an idiot.. -- (setq (chuck nil) car(chuck) )
From: mcbrue on 15 Apr 2010 01:14 The computer is slow to kick in and control the vehicle. Seems there is a computer problem with the acceleration and braking problems also. And my kamikazee kar kicks in slow when I floor it. Anyone see any pattern here? Well, I am asking about a pattern with the computer thingies. The pattern of Japanese warfare against the world is very clear, of course. Remember that the Japanese claim that Business is war, so this old traditional emire oriented family is engaged in war. Hmmm ... computer as weapon?

Anybody that purchases a truck-based, high center of gravity vehicle increases his chances for dying in a roll over accident. This has always been the case. Don't buy any SUV unless you're willing to accept that risk. |
