TOYOTA's global huge recall is shocking indeed.
But today another possible defeat in its newest Prius hybrid model has just come up.
It's much more shocking.
I heard that the brakes on their Priuses have momentarily stopped working when driving at low speeds, especially on slippery surfaces.

I was so scared to hear about this defeat.
Can you imagine how you would feel if the brake stop working even momentarily?
It is absolutely fatal.
I can imagine. How would I be scared if the brake stop working even for a short time?
Because I drive a car by myself.
Such a defeat is inexcusable. You know?
I worry how this global huge recall will influence Japanese economy and industry.
Beside Japan industry and economy are still under the bloody recession.

Hmmm I don't think that's it limited to that, my mother Toyota Camry is also involved in a recall. I don't think Toyota has to worry too much. There's always the debate, here at least, over whether Foreign cars are better than American made. Many people believe foreign cars are better and are willing to over look such matters because they don't 'hear;' about it often. Some people will probably wait till the next model year and they'll be buying them all over again.
I'm not worried about Toyota suffering too much from this recall.
It seems like Ford comes out with some new recall every few months, and yet it's the only American car company that's not currently losing money.
About 10 years ago, Ford had the big Firestone tire recall (because of failures that actually KILLED over 200 drivers), yet they bounced back from that mess pretty quickly.
If a tin-can car company like Ford can recover, certainly a quality car company like Toyota cam as well.

Narrator: A new car built by my company leaves somewhere traveling at 60 mph. The rear differential locks up. The car crashes and burns with everyone trapped inside. Now, should we initiate a recall? Take the number of vehicles in the field, A, multiply by the probable rate of failure, B, multiply by the average out-of-court settlement, C. A times B times C equals X. If X is less than the cost of a recall, we don't do one.
Woman on plane: Are there a lot of these kinds of accidents?
Narrator: You wouldn't believe.
Woman on plane: Which car company do you work for?
Narrator: A major one.

I felt relived to hear the comments.
You all don't think TOYOTA's recall is not that fatal. right?
But my point is not how generally people think of TOYOTA's recall.
My point is how seriously TOYOTA take those many defeats for themselves and what kind of resolution and review and even business philosophy TOYOTA would make.
I believe it is under the crisis in that sense.

You know, Toyota is a powerful company in the US market. It makes her rivals be worried everytime. Now they want to break out Toyota through the US media to the US market. Don't be ingenuous, Toyota is the best car inside the market. It's Made in Japan, which means 100% quality and tested pieces. The recall is too common there in US. It's not usual for us, who are living in Japan.
The crisis is going over. Let's be optimist and do our part. Let's work smiling and think in a great future to our country. Together.

Hmm... Not common?
I think Toyota might just be the start of something; did you see the news on Koito (http://www.businessweek.com/news/2010-02-08/koito-plunges-on-plan-to-repair-150-000-plane-seats-update1-.html)? Pretty amazing stuff. Oh, and let's not forget Sony's battery failures.
Seems to me that Japan, Inc. has been on a slide for some time; I personally don't feel that Japanese products are of nearly the same quality as they were 10 years ago--I ascribe this to Japanese companies becoming just as greedy and corner-cutting cost-conscious as their Western counterparts. Sony, Toshiba, Mitsubishi--all getting their heads handed to them by LG and Samsung, who can make the same things with equal or superior quality, at lower prices.
Japanese companies better get their act together, and soon.
