From my earlier post in this thread -


Find another one with these kind of numbers - which are basically all but guaranteed to be low - especially the complaints w/o fatalities and or serious injuries.
In the 80s, there were hundreds of complaints about the Audi 5000 alone -- all of which unsubstantiated -- and there are a heck of a lot more Toyotas on the road -- millions and millions -- than Audi 5000s.

Without conclusive proof to the contrary, which would be NHTSA or Toyota saying "here is a defect with the cars," the only thing holding up this issue on this board is a rabid hope that the company that dared take market share from GM is in trouble.
