I’m getting concerned about the company as they declare more recalls on their popular, best selling models such as Prius and Camry. Although the company is big enough to absorb the shocks of about 150,000 recalls, it’s big bad stain on the company’s public image. In their neck-to-neck to fight with arch-rival, Honda Motor Company, this series of recalls will certainly cause some pain. However, Toyota is trying hard to fix the problems and keep their customers’ trust.

I sympathize with them because my first car was a Toyota Corolla 1989 and I loved it for its built and longevity.

Update @ March 16, 2010:
Honda has announced more recalls on its Odyssey and Element models concerning brake problems. The Japanese automaker had already recalled more than a million vehicles in January this year over airbag and window switch. Likewise, Nissan and Suzuki have also pulled their vehicles for defects and glitches.

Next time if you get into a motor-vehicle accident, which I hope you don’t, would you blame the human factor or the machine?
