Give me an infinitely long road, and I am sure the brakes would eventually slow the engine down, or I'll run out of gas, or something else will happen to make the car eventually stop. In the real world, there is an unlimited supply of idiot drivers in front, behind, and besides you, as well as some more in the oncoming lane. There are also street poles, parked cars, and in my particular case brick buildings that would put a quick end to any engine and brakes tug-o-war experiments. |

They had an interview with the biggest Toyota dealer in Chicago last night. He said he did not have a single customer shop his place yesterday. Wow, that has got to hurt. |
Yeah, that has to hurt. This can actually affect ALL car dealers (new and used).
Regardless of whether you are a Toyota dealer, if you have any of the recalled vehicles in your sale inventory, IADA urges you not to sell them until we are able to provide further guidance. The federal law does not specifically prohibit the sale of used vehicles subject to a recall as it does for new vehicles. However, sale of a vehicle with the knowledge that it was subject to a recall could expose you to significant liability. If the vehicle is involved in a collision, you could be sued for negligence for selling a vehicle that you knew, or should have known, was subject to recall. |
Got this e-mail from Budget today:
Yesterday Budget announced that it was removing all of the vehicles identified for recall by Toyota from its corporate fleet in the US, Canada, and Puerto Rico. This step was taken to protect the safety of our customers, which is always our top priority. It is important to note that the safety problems that have led to Toyota’s recall of certain vehicles are believed to arise out of usage over time. Accordingly, we believe that all of the Toyota vehicles in our fleet are safe, given the regular maintenance and the low mileage of our overall fleet. We also want to reassure you that the affected Toyotas represent only a small percentage of our overall fleet, so we expect to be able to fulfill all projected demand and you can continue to make reservations with complete confidence for any rental occasion. Our fleet strategy emphasizes diversity so that we are able to respond to the full range of vehicle rental needs of our customers, as well as to reduce our risk from any issues arising out of any individual manufacturer. We further want to emphasize that only certain Toyota makes and models, in addition to the Pontiac Vibe, are affected by the recall. Those Toyota vehicles that are not affected will continue to be offered for rental; however, if you are uncomfortable driving a Toyota vehicle, we will make every effort to offer you an alternative vehicle if one is available. Our commitment to customer safety is also behind our decision to offer what we believe is the youngest and lowest-mileage fleet in the vehicle rental industry. Whether you place as high a premium on safety as we do, or whether you just like driving new cars, either way Budget continues to be your best car rental choice. Thank you for continuing to choose Budget for your vehicle rental needs. Sincerely, Thomas M. Gartland Executive Vice President |
