Kampuni ya toyota yazua balaa

BY SHINO YUASA, Associated Press Writer
TOKYO – Toyota Motor Corp. said Thursday about 270,000 cars sold
worldwide — including luxury Lexus sedans — have faulty engines, the
latest quality lapse to hit the automaker following massive global
recalls.
Japan's public broadcaster NHK and Kyodo News agency said Toyota, the
world's No. 1 automaker, was considering recalling the vehicles but
didn't name sources.
Toyota spokesman Hideaki Homma said the company was evaluating
measures to deal with the problem of defective engines that can stall
while the vehicle is moving. He would not confirm a recall was being
considered.
The automaker has been working to patch up its reputation after
recalling more than 8 million vehicles worldwide because of unintended
acceleration and other defects.
Of the 270,000 vehicles with engine problems, some 180,000 were sold
overseas and the rest in Japan. They include the popular Crown and
seven models of luxury Lexus sedans.
Toyota said there have been no reports of accidents linked to the
faulty engines. It did not say how it learned about the engine
troubles.
The automaker's shares fell 1.1 percent to 3,045 yen in Tokyo on
Thursday.
U.S. authorities recently slapped Toyota with a record $16.4 million
fine for acting too slowly to recall vehicles with defects. Toyota
dealers have repaired millions of vehicles, but the automaker still
faces more than 200 lawsuits tied to accidents, the lower resale value
of Toyota vehicles and the drop in the company's stock.
In the aftermath of the recalls, Congress is considering an upgrade to
auto safety laws to toughen potential penalties against automakers,
give the U.S. government more powers to demand a recall and push car
companies to meet new safety standards.
Toyota said last week it will recall 17,000 Lexus luxury hybrids after
testing showed that fuel can spill during a rear-end crash.

wat's wrong with Toyota!!!?

There is nothing wrong it is just market competition. Washindani wanaharibu image ya Toyota.

I think every design must have its own cosideration factors in priority . Am sure for toyota prodcing a cheap car is more priority thna safest issues . Ukija kwa Marcedes wao design cosidreation yao inaweza kuwa SAFEFEST zaidi kuliko kuangalia COST, and then zinakuja nyingine kama uimara.

Kusema hivyo sio kuwa TOYOTA hawajali usalama au uimara wa gari lakini naamini hazina umuhimu sana.

So those defect in Toyota makes sidhani kama ni new sema competitors wanataka kuharibu image ya TOYOTA . ni halali yao kutumia weaknes ya mshindani wako kummaliza.

Wameamua kufungua viwanda vingi China na North America ili wazimwage gari zao kama njugu. Kwa kufanya hivyo wakasahau kitu kinachoitwa Quality na haya ndiyo matokeo yake. Hivi sasa wanunuzi waliopanga kununua Toyota/Lexus hivi karibuni au katika miezi michache ijayo itabidi wafikirie mara mbili mbili kabla ya kuamua ni gari ipi watakayonunua.
