Oh doo doo, wozniak escaped from jobs basement again!

Seriously, they need to make sure to keep him out of sight, he tends to say goofy and embarrassing things when he gets out.

Come on Steve Wozniak has to have something to complain about, after all it can't be the iPad. Besides, I would bet he is right about the Prius. When I drove past all the Wind Turbines today near De Kalb, IL they were all not turning, does that mean all the electric cars will have to park for the day :?: :?: :?: :-)r :-)r :-)r :-)r :-)r :-)r :-)r :-)r :-)r

There are reports of 2 SECOND!!! delays in the Prius deciding to use the regenerative braking system or the full-on mode. The reports are being received from the U.S., Europe, and Japan. Meanwhile, the investigations continues into Yoter's floor mat lies and the fact that a software issue in the ECM may be the most severe issue. The Tacoma got the lowest crash safety reports in the segment.

I figured out their problem with their software.

Someone downloaded McAfee into their ECM software master file, no wonder their cars are having problems.

Reminds me of the days of FORD. Ford Pinto to be exact. Truest of all death traps.

By the way, go here for all your make/model recall checks: Sure are a lot of "American" cars with recent recalls.

hell most of us drive something that's had recalls going on half a dozen times

only reason the media is eating up the yota recalls is because it's finally something that isn't about a bailout for "government motors"

the way certain .. i guess you should call them.. Organizations.. run the media these days i'm pretty certain many of the media groups got "advised" to make it a gigantic deal

I had a Pinto back in 1980 the recall fix was a bracket that deflected a hit from the back away from the gas tank.

The U.S. Post Office kept '79 & '80 Pintos in service into the '90's due to their reliability and ease of repair.... The Pinto gas tank deal was about like the Audi unintended acceleration: more media than anything.

I had a Pinto years ago. My "friends" thought it was great fun to test the exploding gas tank myth. Obviously mine never blew up, but the Pinto's rear end looked like an accordion when I sold it. :ROTFL:

i believe the pinto is still one of the very few cars that was built that would go 1 mph for every 1 hp it had

100mph/100hp

doesn't mean it did it very quickly though lol

Tip of the iceberg folks... State Farm OFFICIALLY notified Toyota about the gas pedal problems THREE YEARS before toyota admitted it & did the recall. This is the company that the toyotaphiles are claiming is so great and forthcoming.... :ROTFL:

They are still hiding the issue with Lexus cross models like the ES.

That story has hit the MSM.

I wonder how much longer Toyota can keep trying to dodge this issue???
