RECALL TOYOTA COROLLA

[by.andres]

A mi Toyota me respondio y encontro la solucion al problema. Para mi eso es muy importante, uno siente que la garantia esta y se hacen responsable de los desperfectos. Creo tbn que puede haber una campaña de desprestigio hacia la compañia. Pero no es para embalarse tanto jajajaja. Estoy de acuerdo que si sienten el auto seguro no es necesario que toqueten los del service.

Debe haber alguna mano detrás de esto, es demasiada reacción para tan pocos casos.

Tal vez sea porque el mundo esta acostumbrado vivir o escuchar de la calidad de los productos toyota, y asombra que una marca con tanto prestigio, tenga ese tipo de problemas....
Si fuese algo comun en toyota, seguramente no seria noticia.

A mi me suena a "Compre Americano" toda esta campaña. Y es cierto, las otras marcas han hecho destrozos con los productos malos que venden...

Y para el imperio automotriz del norte es dificil de digerir que un auto Japones sea el mas vendido en el mundo (por lejos), muchachos disfrutemos de la joya de auto que tenemos ademas de tener una linea hermosa mecanicamente es una joyita( al menos en mis primeros 8000km recorridos).
Esta no es la primera vez que las automotrices arrancan con campañas de este tipo, y si tenemos en cuenta que el auto elegido en la anual de Detroit se trató de un ford (terminal de origen USA) pero fué el nuevo focus(no el que tenemos acá ojo). Pero de procedencia Europea, sumado a la crisis de las terminales (GM, Chrisler)que el gobierno tuvo que poner muchos verdes para salvarlos, no es muy loco pensar que esta sea una campaña para que la gente vuelva a comprar americanos, no se olviden que el parque automotor yanqui en los ultimos años (despues del 2000) cambió sus preferencias en cuanto autos buscan y compran mas los japoneses o europeos.
Es todo un tema, con esto no quiero decir que no sea real el problema de corolla en USA, pero tampoco puedo dejar de pensar que puede haber sido un problema "plantado" por algun provedor pagado por las grandes terminales yanquis. (una de mis hijas volvió ayer de USA, me comentó que la cantidad de civic y corolla que hay es impresionante ademas de la gran cantidad de suv y 4x4 de origen japones contra las monstruosas y gastadoras GMC que dominaban las rutas y calles unos años atras).

6 Myths About Car Recalls

With all the hype surrounding Toyota's quality problems, you'd think a recall notice in your mailbox is the equivalent of a pink slip or IRS audit. Hardly. Toyota is certainly reeling from recalls of nearly 5 million U.S. cars, including top sellers like the Camry, Corolla, RAV4, and Prius. But recalls are a fact of life in the auto business, usually generating little news or heartache for car owners. With Toyota's woes mushrooming into a media and political feeding frenzy, here are some of the mounting misconceptions about recalls:

They're rare. On the contrary, millions of vehicles are recalled every year. So far this year, Toyota's recalls have obviously dominated the news, but they haven't been the only ones. Chrysler has recalled about 20,000 vehicles to fix a clip on the brakes. And Honda has had two major recalls. One is to fix a power window switch on 141,000 Fit subcompacts that could melt or catch fire if water leaks in. Another, affecting 129,000 Ridgeline pickup trucks, is to place a protective cover around the wires for an A/C blower motor, to prevent damage that can occur if a passenger kicks the motor. In December 2009 alone, there were at least eight separate recalls that each involved thousands of passenger cars.

[See 15 cars fueling the auto recovery.]

They reflect an urgent safety problem. By their nature, recalls involve flaws that could affect safety, but most of the time, there's no immediate risk. Recalls often involve problems that are rare but could cause a serious problem if they occur. So the risk to any given driver is often remote, even though there may be a few high-profile incidents traced to the problem. That seems to be the case with Toyota's gas-pedal problems: The likelihood of sudden acceleration is extremely low, but with more than 4 million vehicles potentially affected, even a tiny rate of occurrence would make it a big problem. Even Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood is confused about how pressing the danger is. He said recently that anybody with a recalled model should stop driving it—then he corrected himself to say owners should simply bring their cars to a dealer to get them fixed, whenever possible.

They're handled by the government. Regulators certainly have a role, but the majority of recalls are carried out by manufacturers without government involvement. Automakers sometimes resist a full-blown recall, since it means they have to foot the bill for every repair. And occasionally, they'll argue that a problem affects convenience or reliability but not safety and therefore doesn't require a recall. If regulators at the Department of Transportation disagree, they can persuade an automaker to order a recall or order one themselves. The Toyota recalls are "voluntary," which means they were issued by the automaker—but LaHood has said that the government forced Toyota to take the drastic action.

[See how Toyota gets back on track.]

Automakers usually know in advance about problems that lead to recalls. Sometimes they do, but many problems are discovered only after years of use under real-world conditions. The notorious August 2000 recall of 14.4 million Firestone tires used on Ford Explorers, for example, occurred after 4,300 complaints about tread separation piled up for nine years and Ford and Firestone fought a bitter duel over which of them was at fault. Even government investigators had a hard time figuring out if certain Explorer crashes were due to faulty tires, the vehicle's high center of gravity, or other factors. It's also worth noting that a huge controversy in the 1980s over sudden acceleration in the Audi 5000 was ultimately attributed to driver error, with a simple fix being to space the gas and brake pedals a bit farther apart. But Audi sales plunged nonetheless, partly because the company was perceived as arrogant.

Recalls are ruinous. Usually not. For owners, it typically means a trip to the dealer and a free repair. Big recalls can cost automakers a lot of money—which is one of the strongest incentives for them to avoid problems in the first place. But most recalls amount to the cost of doing business, and automakers tend to bounce back from safety controversies. The faulty Firestone tires on Ford Explorers, for example, were linked to 148 deaths and 500 injuries, causing both companies deep financial and reputational damage. But the Explorer remained popular, and Firestone continued to sell tires. Ford is still dealing with another huge recall—involving faulty cruise control switches on 9 million vehicles—yet that hasn't pre-empted a recent surge in Ford's reputation or the popularity of its vehicles.

[See how Toyota stumbled in the first place.]

They indicate poor quality. Excessive recalls might, but virtually every manufacturer has to occasionally fix problems that slip through the manufacturing process. Automobiles are complicated machines with dozens of computers and thousands of moving parts, subject to bad roads, extreme temperatures, lousy drivers, and outright abuse. An automaker that never issued recalls, in fact, might be hiding problems instead of fixing them. Toyota's challenge now is to convince customers that it's committed to making them whole and permanently solving problems, not just dodging blame, evading lawsuits, or taking the cheap way out. Others have done it.

Lo que sucede es que recall hubo hay y habra, en los paises del primer mundo, donde los ciudadanos tienen conciencia de consumidor, y funcionan como consumidores. Por estos lares nos suena a raro esto del recall, porque "si te toca un problema a vos y a mi no, vos reventa, total a mi no me paso" Asi fuimos, asi somos y asi seremos.
