Toyota Accused of Secretly Buying Back Broken Cars

Toyota Accused of Secretly Buying Back Broken Cars

Toyota is being accused of secretly buying back vehicles found with speed-control problems to try and hide safety issues from federal regulators.

The new complaint says the repurchase transactions included strict confidentiality agreements banning consumers from disclosing the problem to anyone and from suing Toyota.

The complaint cites internal company records that document the ability of dealer service managers or company technicians to replicate speed-control issues like those reported by drivers.

On Thursday, the automaker admitted it had repurchased some vehicles from customers who'd complained about unintended acceleration but said it was done so "further engineering analysis" could be conducted on the cars.

IT'S AN OUTRAGE!!.........AND IT'S TRUE!!!

We're from one of those benevolent Corporations that the GOP has been trying to protect--and we're here to help you....

Toyota has provided Americans for a long time with good, reliable cars but for some reason they seem to be going off the rail now.

Side note: most of the unintended accelerations in the past have been found to be human error.

Or, most of the unintended accelerations that WEREN'T human error have been successfully covered up.

For the real story....

What are all those progressives to do now that their favorite brand has betrayed them? My goodness, how will they survive if they can't purchase their beloved Priuses because the company that they have been religiously supporting for the last 3 decades (spurning domestic, union labor built cars, as inferior to the point that none had test driven one or contemplated buying one until Obama sunk a bunch of the nation's money into bailing them out and they found themselves majority owners of the very companies that they had so longed look down their nose at) because now the jobs they helped send overseas have to somehow make it back within the nation's borders?

They will just whine and blame Bush!!
