What a mess

The 2010 Toyota recall
The 2010 Toyota recall list is already started to worry more consumers and their own employees. It has become a big issue. Who wants to drive a car which has mechanical problem and put your life in danger? Not me. Toyota admits the problems with the cars and is responsible to fix it. Have you heard the reported lists of cars? Imagine how much money they will be losing in this short period of time. Plus, millions of consumers are affected with. At this point there is no way people trust Toyota the same way or buy any time soon.
If you think about how many employees are under the company and how long their job security will last is truly not good. Specially, “sales person” in dealerships and “assembly line” they must be in big fear because there is no guarantee when the problem will be fixed and consumers will resume buying Toyota cars. If there is no “customer” there is no “job”. Even though Toyota Company hasn’t announced any thing about their employee’s status yet, I assume that there will be some kind of cut off their employee’s hour if not laid off. But who should we blame? In my opinion, the company should keep all their employees until the problem is fixed and the sale gets back to normal. But who knows how long it will take to fix this mess.
Though the 2010 Toyota recall list lets owners know which Toyota models are being recalled, it is only serving as a warning to consumers that their vehicle may have a problem. There is an increasing level of frustration from Toyota owners who are actually trying to get their recalled Toyota's serviced, simply because Toyota doesn't have a good system in place to fix the models affected. Toyota doesn't even have a solution in place to help their customers except to provide warning information. Since the recall is in millions, it seems like it is already out of control what to be done next. Toyota is still claiming that all of their recalled vehicles on this January 2010 recall list are still safe to drive. Safe to drive in whose opinion? Certainly not in the families of those who have died as a result of these sticking accelerators, and certainly not the drivers who have come across this problem.
I think Toyota should be responsible for all this mess and do whatever it takes to fix the problem. And Toyota must work hard to avoid any kind of further damage to their name and reputation. In fact, Toyota is one of the most successful automakers, and one of the most admired companies in the world. But now the company is challenged big time. Don’t you think Toyota should reduce the car price and built a car that is reliable to gain back its consumers’ confidence once again?http://topics.nytimes.com/top/news/business/companies/toyota_motor_corporation/index.html?scp=4&sq=TOYOTA%20RECALL&st=Search
