I’ll probably never forget the mess Toyota got into with all those unintended acceleration/floor mat and such problems but it does feel nice to see them constantly working on it. One of their latest efforts will be this just announced voluntary recall that concerns the 2011 Toyota Tundra pickup.
Not very precise of a title, but it does contain the gist of what’s going on as far as Nissan and the North American market are concerned. Over 271.000 units of the Nissan Pathfinder and the Infiniti QX4 up-class brother will have owners visit dealership showrooms for a bit of a fix.
The 2011 Honda Odyssey already had a recall this year and it was one of the weirdest ever, one I blamed on users more than Honda. Honda’s previous recall was related to some wiper problems, but this time the 2011 Odyssey has trouble with the front windows.
All joking aside, the days of unreliable British cars and rust buckets are well behind us and still the chaps at Jaguar feel like joking around. The aggressive cats are going to be recalled in their thousands for one of the most primitive of reasons, corrosion.
You’d think the Japanese have plenty on their hands with the recent tsunami and earthquake situation but as it happens, it’s not. One of their cars, the 2011 Honda Civic has been identified by the NHTSA as suffering from a serious problem.
The Koreans may have struck gold with the current generation of the 2011 Kia Optima but they missed a point with the previous generation of this car. The 2006-2008 model year of the Kia Optima sedan because there’s a problem that’s related to the transmission.
Safety matters and safety sells. This is something the engineering squad behind the 2011 Kia Optima took into serious consideration. Now we have proof of that as the NHTSA testing system just awarded the Korean sedan a maximum five star rating which means that if crashing is your passion, this is the car to go
Now here’s something special, the NHTSA came up with an announcement concerning an automotive recall that isn’t supposed to happen. The Jeep Wrangler is one of the cars that doesn’t suffer from any flaws with fuel spillage systems.
Automotive recalls weren’t something special until the Japanese at Toyota re-wrote the stat book on the whole affair last year. In what’s a bit of a surprise, Toyota has now announced us they are recalling yet more cars for the same problem with pedal entrapment.
I hate Toyota’s attitude with the unintended acceleration recall and no matter what comes about, that’s not going to change very soon. Something was in the running, the NHTSA’s 10 month long safety probe could have had the answer to why the unintended acceleration happened and may have cleared the Japanese.
Even the mighty fall sometimes, and this is definitely the case of the Ford F-150 pickup, the world’s best seller for so long I can’t remember off the top of my head. Ford’s just announced that they are going to be calling back in quite a number of their most successful product in order to
I tend to take sides with Ford, I just like the brand, the products and the ideals. The only trouble is, while they’re doing fine, they’re still human and sometimes make mistakes. This is how Ford can give you a hot one followed by a cold other. They hire more people and pay them better,
Admittedly, a bit late when compared to “the old continent” the Americans have started properly testing the cars sold in their market in terms of testing. What better authority could there be for doing so than the well know NHTSA or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
It had been a while since we spoke of a new recall so might as well find out about what happened at Saab this Sunday morning. The Swedish have announced that they are going to be inviting all 2010-2011 Saab 9-3 owners in to the dealers for a cup of coffee.
Mistakes do happen don’t they, cars are made by humans so I guess they do. This is why Honda has decided to recall several models of the Accord and CR-V. According to the NHTSA’s latest press release, Honda will be notifying owners of just over 2.000 cars about their cars being called in.
I guess it can’t be all good cheer and happiness, sometimes the down side catches up no matter what the occasion. This is certainly the case for Ford as they’ve just announced a pretty big recall on their biggest seller the F-150 pickup and on the Ford Edge with the Lincoln MKX.
Ah Toyota, it’s the car company that’s almost always been named in the same sentence as the word “recall”. And what do we have here, Toyota has just issued a voluntary recall for one of their models, the Sienna minivan. Now that’s a surprise.
It just seems that we can’t have a week go by without a new recall. Am I wrong for wanting that to happen? The company affected this time is Volvo and the model that will be hitting dealer garages is… erm, more than one.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has just announced that they’re pulling out all the stops in a new investigation. The latest NHTSA investigation focuses on the Honda Accord Hybrid and a serious problem which may be related to unintended acceleration.
According to an investigation done by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration revealed some problems with the 2010-2011 model years of the Buick Lucerne and the Cadillac DTS. As a result, all of the Buick Lucerne and Cadillac DTS owners with this particular model year should soon visit their dealers because of a few safety
