Which Toyota car has a problem?

One question: Does installing gaskets cure the symptoms but not the root cause? Toyota's recall maintenance plan is to install a metal gasket on the accelerator pedal, but a large number of China car owners doubt whether this can completely eliminate the safety hazard of accelerator jam. How does Toyota demonstrate the effectiveness of this move? Has it been confirmed by a third-party authority? [Detail] Second question: Is there really no problem with the electronic throttle? At the hearing, the United States questioned the design defects of Toyota's electronic control system, and the reason for the sudden acceleration may not be mechanical failure such as accelerator pedal or foot pad. Akio Toyoda denied this: "I have absolute confidence that there is no problem in the design of the electronic throttle control system."

However, James Lentz, president and chief operating officer of Toyota Motor USA Sales Company, said at the first hearing that the sudden acceleration of the car was related to the design of the foot pad and throttle, but the possibility of problems in the electronic control system was not ruled out. [Detail] Three questions: Can the recall completely solve the problem? James Lentz, president and chief operating officer of Toyota Motor USA Sales Company, said that unexpected acceleration may be caused by multiple factors, and about 70% of sudden acceleration complaints have not been identified, so the recall may not completely solve the problem. As a result, many China car owners can't help asking, what are the unknown safety hazards of Toyota? Is Toyota safe? [Detail] Four questions: Does the defective product come from cost compression? This time, the model equipped with CTS accelerator pedal is recalled, and other models are not included in the recall. I want to ask, why does Toyota have two different designs of accelerator pedals?

As we all know, Toyota has always been a model of cost control, and its trick is to "wring the last drop of water from the towel". In the five years before Katsuaki Watanabe became the new president of Toyota, he saved $654.38+000 billion for Toyota by "replacing the handlebars of almost all models with the same model and the same supplier". Liangye Inar, CEO of Toyota North America, said at the hearing that the brake priority system will be installed on all new models. Many consumers in China are very concerned. Is this only for the North American market, or does it cover the global market including China? In addition, which of Toyota's existing models are equipped with this important system to avoid accidental acceleration? Some technical experts said that installing the brake priority system only needs to change the computer settings and does not need to increase a lot of costs. [Detail] Six questions: When did Toyota come standard with black boxes? On February 17, Toyota announced that it would make full use of EDR (Car Black Box) on a global scale. Toyota has not announced the timetable for fully assembling the car black box, but many consumers in China want to know: When will Toyota cars made in China be equipped with black boxes as standard? It is understood that car black boxes are divided into those with printers and those without printers, among which the price without printers is between 1000- 1500 yuan, and those with printers are above 1900 yuan. [Detail] Question 7: How many complaints did Toyota receive in China? In the United States, the ranking made by research institutions according to the data of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration shows that Toyota received 532 consumer complaints on car models in 2005 and beyond, which was 57% higher than that of Ford Motor Company, which ranked second with 339 complaints. However, in China, no research institution has investigated Toyota's complaint. I believe consumers who care about Toyota want to know how many complaints Toyota has received in China. How high is Toyota's complaint rate compared with its peers? [Detail] Eight Questions: Why can't China car owners enjoy the treatment of American customers? In the United States, if customers are afraid to drive Toyota cars, dealers can take them back for repair and then return them to consumers. If the consumer wants to rent a car during this period, the dealer will be responsible for the money. However, the owner of RAV4 in China, who is also a customer of Toyota, does not enjoy this treatment.

Mr. Wang, a RAV4 owner in Zhejiang, told Netease that his car had not only experienced sudden acceleration and collision, but also the steering wheel was locked before. But since the complaint, the manufacturer has not explained the cause of the failure to him. Now, he is afraid to drive on the highway. [Detail] Q 9: Did Toyota hire any former government workers? At the hearing in the United States, a number of lawmakers questioned Toyota's practice of hiring a number of former National Highway Traffic Safety Administration staff, arguing that these people hindered the investigation of Toyota by the competent authorities.

Compared with the investigation and hearing in the United States, the relevant departments in China did not see more practical actions made public except for two risk warning notices. Some netizens questioned whether the low profile of the relevant departments would be the result of Toyota's "public relations". Does Toyota also hire people from government departments for its government public relations work? [Detail] Question 10: Do China's product defects need Japanese identification? In this recall storm, the US Secretary of Transportation sent representatives to Japan to meet with Toyota executives, and personally called Akio Toyoda to make him realize the seriousness of the problem before Toyota decided to expand the scope of the recall. Toyota USA argues that Toyota's main decision-making power is concentrated in Japan, and they can only report the situation and have no right to make a recall decision. President Akio Toyoda said that at the end of last year, he knew that Toyota had an abnormal acceleration. This shows the disconnect within Toyota. Akio Toyoda later said that some decision-making power will be delegated to various regions in the future. [detailed]
