heeeheeehee. distributor kuno ko. bilyonaryo na diay ko. ka berks na mi ni george ty. Lets just say naa ko ties with the automotive industry.
8 million cars gipang recall sa toyota in U.S., Europe, and China. The cause has been traced to an Indiana (U.S.) based supplier of the accelerators. Have you every wondered why all these media blitz is being raised in the U.S. only? Ngano wala man sa Europe and China? That is why its exaggerated.

The U.S. consumers are very demanding. ( Sa bisaya pa, sigi lang ug demanda). 'Ambulance chaser' lawyers immediately jump at the chance to sue and make money out of companies who would rather go for cash settlement rather than having their names dragged in lawsuits that would create negative publicity. Example, McDonalds has been sued by a mother because her son got very fat eating Big Macs. The take out coffee cup at McDo has a warning that says "Warning hot beverage!" Ngano? tungod kai naa nag tinanga pag inom sa kape, na paso ang ngabil. In hospital emergency rooms (ask your friends in america working in the medical field), they are very careful because some 'maru' patients would push themselves out of their bunks, fall off and sue the nurses for malpractice.
Naay gi kiha for staring at someone who said she suffered mental anguish because she was stared at.
Those were just a few examples. Interesting? Diri pa na sa Pilipinas, dili sila ka lihok kay hinay man ang kaso mo dagan. Didto kusog pero wala poy mga hinungdan. Gets?

Ah maskin nag paspas mu lihok ang kaso sa states liman kag almost 60 ka taw namatay anang problem sa Toyota. Nya almost 100 na hurt? liman ka? Ay kog ingna exaggerated ang nangamatay? Kaluoy sad. What if that happens to your family? Trapped in a Toyota at 90mph? or 145kph Nya di muhunong maski unsa imo buhaton?

Maglikay nalang ta, im glad i traded my Toyota to a Kia hehe i'm happy with Kia maayo vehicle, good customer service, walay D4D engine stopping problems, walay black smoke problems, walay accelerating problem, WALAY LABAD SA ULO!

Daan pa ko, nangwarta jud tinood ang kano. Basaha ni from CNN website:
Tests didn't recreate sticky gas pedal on Prius
March 14, 2010: 6:33 PM ET


(CNN) -- Testing a Toyota Prius after its owner claimed its gas pedal stuck, technicians were unable to recreate the same condition, according to a draft congressional memo obtained Sunday by CNN.

In addition, owner Jim Sikes' claims that he slammed on the brake while his gas pedal was stuck to the floor do "not appear to be feasibly possible," said the draft, obtained from sources familiar with the investigation.

The memo, to members of the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, summarizes the observations of a representative present at the testing of the Prius, as well as another car "allegedly involved in sudden unintended acceleration events."

Contacted by CNN Sunday, Sikes declined to comment but said he stands by his story. He said his attorney will be making a statement on his behalf Monday.

Sikes said last week he was traveling east on Interstate 8 outside of San Diego, California, when his accelerator stuck as he sped up to pass a car.

"As I was going, I was trying the brakes ... and it just kept speeding up," he said.

Sikes said he called 9-1-1 for help as he was traveling in excess of 90 mph on a winding, hilly portion of the interstate. He said dispatchers tried to talk him through ways to stop the car, but nothing helped.

Eventually, a California Highway Patrol officer was able to catch up to Sikes and used the patrol car's public address system to instruct Sikes to apply the brakes and the emergency brake at the same time. That tactic worked, and he was able to stop the car.

The memo said before Sikes' vehicle could be tested, technicians had to replace rotors, brakes and pads, as the pads and rotors were worn down.

David Justo of Toyota Motor Sales headquarters, described in the memo as Toyota's residential hybrid expert, said that if the gas pedal of the car was stuck to the floor, and the driver applied the brake, the engine would shut down.

"If the engine does not shut down, then the gears would be spinning (past) their maximum revolutions per minute and completely seize the engine," the memo said, quoting Justo. "So, in his case ... it does not appear to be feasibly possible, both electronically and mechanically that his gas pedal was stuck to the floor and he was slamming on the brake at the same time."

Technicians from Toyota and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) took Sikes' Prius on a test-drive and attempted to duplicate the same experience, the memo said, but were unsuccessful. A congressional staffer and another Toyota technician tested another Prius.

"Every time the technician placed the gas pedal to the floor and the brake pedal to the floor the engine shut off and the car immediately started to slow down," the memo said. "NHTSA and Toyota field representatives reported the same results with the 2008 Prius owned by Mr. Sikes."

"These findings certainly raise new questions surrounding the veracity of the sequence of events that has been reported by Mr. Sikes," said Kurt Bardella, spokesman for Rep. Darrell Issa, R-California, and ranking member on the committee.

Toyota recently issued widespread recalls due to problems related to the accelerator pedal in several of its auto models. One theory behind the sticky accelerators is the vehicles' floor mats. But Sikes said last week, "My mat was perfect. There was nothing wrong with my mat."

He said before the incident, he had taken his 2008 Prius into a Toyota dealership and gave workers his recall notice, but was told his car wasn't on the recall list.
