ITs a LIE !!!!!!!!! toyotas NEVER have problems !
This is just another LIE to smear the GOOD name of toyota !

The recent camry transmission problems, steering column problems,
the faulty ball joints on the trucks, and not to mention the sludge
issues among other recent problems are all lies made up by the
toyota haters of the world..........

These are ALL lies made up by jealous GM owners (like me) who
made a big mistake by NOT buying toyota products.............

NOT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...............LOL!!!!!!!!!!!! !

Because a grand total of three vehicles have had this problem.

From the link:

There have been three reported cases of troubles but no one has been injured, Nolasco said.

When was the last time GM recalled a vehicle after only three vehicles had a problem?

You're bringing us down man.

Seriously though, I doubt Toyota only knew of 3 instances because they wouldn't recall 210,000 vehicles. Nobody would. Maybe only 3 were reported to a gov't agency.

I'm glad you are here for "balance" & defense.

Anyways...as seeing as you are versed in the Japan Inc lineups...does TMS actually manufacture their own differntials, or do they rely on an outside source???

Unfortunately, even with the increase in Toyota recalls, their recall rate still remains far lower then GMs.

No.. Cadillac just shares components with Chevy.. and that is only one Model.. This particular vehicles from Le-ekuhsus is a toyota hilux pick up based deal..
Now that is dirt cheap and Bad...Even the Interior is not that great.... I have an unlce in Africa who drives one...
You drive around in one and the hilxus Traits soon become clearly apparent..
makes you feel like Osama..

How many Lexus are toyota Rebadges

1.GX,
2. LX,
3.RX,
4.ES

How many Cadillacs can trace their roots to chevy? And with this new Escalade.. its not really a Chevy.. It started out as GMT900... a generic plartform from where.. different brands can build their Vehicles


Escalade.. ands nothing else

[GM-10]

Probably the consumer's fault again, right?

Looks like rolling diarrhea.

Well, you do - the Lexus 470-something is the exact same thing, it's just $20K more.

That was covered already, nice.

Bull****************. The only vehicle that qualifies as a rebadge is the LX, and it's already based on a premium product. And don't tell me the only Cadillac rebadge is the Escalade. If we were to use your definition for a "rebadge", then the DTS, XLR, & all the Escalade variants would qualify.

XLR is proud to be a Vette Rebadge.... The Vette is up there with Porsche 911.... no one else comes to that party
DTS? what are you smoking? The Lucerne is a rebadge of the DTS...!

Plus non of them drop their axles going 5 North!

I'm trying to remember the last time GM recalled a 10 year old vehicle.....

Then I can say the LX470 is proud to be a Land Cruiser. After all, the Land Cruiser has a LONG history of being a legendary, reliable off-roader.
