Here's the lowdown. Take a look at who discovered the problem... By now, we've lost count of how many vehicles Toyota has recalled (it's somewhere north of 8.1 million vehicles). According to a Toyota spokesman, the Japanese automaker is also voluntarily recalling approximately 8,000 four-wheel-drive Tacoma pickups to fix a problem in the front propeller shaft. Toyota says that a crack can develop in the rear joint of the Tacoma leading to the driveshaft separating and falling away from the truck. The issue was discovered by Dana Corporation during the manufacturing process of the front prop shaft. The recall affects Tacoma models that were produced from mid-December 2009 to early Feb. 2010. DANA!!! Can you say, "Rusting frames"? If I were Toyota' I think I'd consider dropping Dana from the list of preferred suppliers.

I thought CTS was going to be under close scrutiny, but I think Dana is toast! This is not as major a recall as the frames; the first round was 1996 or 97 to 2003, huundreds of thousands of trucks Toyota bought back for 150% of Kelley Blue Book, but a lot of them promptly bought a new Tacoma... Only to find out a year or two later it ALSO had a Dana frame that could rot prematurely! This recall 'only' affects 8,000 vehicles, but I bet the guys at Dana are sweating bullets... > > actually, two lessons: make sure your competition doesn't spend more on > political donations than you do! Yeah, that too. I particularly liked the ads Chevrolet dealers were running that said, We'll give you $1,000 more than book value! Sure! Why the hell not? It's *OUR* money!!!

Toyota , on its way to 10,000,000 recalls, Toyota hires retired-former NHTSA employees, they help squash many investigations that would have led to RECALLS. Toyota knew about accererator issues in 2003, just wait this might top 20,000,000 , Twenty Million, is its over?. And you lamely blame Dana on a few, now thats Lame. Toyotas whole modus has been "dont tell" anybody. They should hit toy with a Ten Billion dollar fine.
