Here is a blog from Roy Exum. Read his full article for more info, but he hits it on the head that Toyota is doing something that other Manufactures would never dream of doing for their customers, even though they have most of the same issues. And in most cases alot worse.
Chattanoogan.com Roy Exum: Toyotas Silent Mule
http://www.chattanoogan.com/articles/article_170186.asp In this opinion article by Roy Exum he warns the American people and Congress that Toyota will soon fire back and return stronger than ever as the worlds largest automotive manufacturer.
Quotes from the story:
Right now Toyota is processing 50,000 recalled vehicles a day, somewhat easily, too, I might add. To do so, their dealers are loaning cars while repairs are being made, paying rental fees and even taxi receipts. The simple fact is that never in the history of the auto industry has there been such an intense response. General Motors, on the other hand, will not offer a similar assistance program to the 1.3 million owners in this latest recall because, quite frankly, it doesn't have the clout nor the "want to" that Toyota does right now.
What you need to know is that, in the last 20 years, there have been 569 recalls of Toyota vehicles. At the same time, there have been 3,498 recalls of General Motors vehicles. Yes, there have also been 2,691 Ford recalls and 2,419 Chrysler recalls, too.
