    "Toyota Vietnam had to apologize to its local customers after the Japanese carmaker faced the biggest auto recall in Vietnam's history. What's worse? Toyota tried to cover the recall up.

    At the beginning, Toyota said that only 8,830 units of its highly popular Innova 7-seater MPV were affected by a recall concerning either over-responsive braking systems or improperly mounted camber bolts and seats.

    However, on Friday, Toyota engineer Le Van Tach revealed that the number of faulty cars actually reached 65,703 units and even included the Fortuner SUV."

    Ito pala yung reason kung bakit hindi bumili ng Toyota Fortuner ang friend ng dad ko sa Cebu!! Mas ok pa yung Mitsubishi Strada ng company provided eh.

    Pero wala pa akong naririnig na case dito sa Pinas...

    my friend threatened to go to media, so they were forced to accept back the 1 week old defective avanza, but then he bought 4x4 fort in its place.

    Nakow, dali na naman Toyota ah. Mabenta pa naman Innova at Fort.

    Remember the D4-D choking problem? They categorically deny its a problem saying its an isolated incident. This will be the same... Toyota likes to hide problems, sa US nung may namatay na tsaka lang nag simula mga recalls...

    naku sana naman walang ganyang case dito sa pinas. pero kung meron man, kelan ba aamin ang toyota philippines. eh di sana nung una pa lang sa D4D problems, nagpa recall na sila.

    An officemate was about to get a Fortuner when he asked me.

    I told him to get the Everest instead!

    Now, he's a happy Ford owner.

    Toyota here has an overrated quality reputation, which people often oversee.

    Toyota is hiding under their former reputation especially among Pinoys.

    Pero sa US mas mataas na quality rating ng Ford kaysa Toyota...
