I personally feel......

The Democratic party likes to scapegoat TOYOTA, every time they come to power and face recession.

Don't you remember that, during the Bill Clinton's presidency, the First Lady Hillary Clinton beat TOYOTA CELSIOR with a big hammer in the white house yard. It was a silly political demonstration. I was very dissapointed to see that.
At that time, TOYOTA lost some lawsuit, and paid about 210 million dollors for some in-office sexual harrasment.
These incidents might be actually happened, and TOYOTA must be actaully bleamable, though I don't feel it's just a coincident.
One difference from that time is, TOYOTA is no more Japanese company, it's more international now and more American people are actuary working in TOYOTA. I hope TOYOTA streamline to improve its quality, people to calm down, and the company redeem its reputation.

It's just a my personal thought.

Toyota has been putting all the effort into pursing solid qualities.
It's good to improve quality, but they should've put more effort on customer complaints and safety defects. They might have been arrogant and not proactive enough to work on these issues.That's why decision-making is always done by only its headquarter in Japan, and act slowly on the issues.

Also the company has expanded its production a bit too quickly, so Toyota and Toyota-related subsidaries have been struggling to catch up with its rapid growth and agressive cost-cutting.

It's hard to find the best soltion,and things hasn't been making any progress now, so it might be a good idea to do reasearh by non-Toyota engneers from other companies, cos it could be accurate and objective that way.

Plus, like it or not, no matter how you look at it, it's still Toyota. So I don't care if the conspiracy is inovovled.

probably some customers will stop buying Toyota products and then in a couple of years after determined work Toyota will make some electrifying product that will bring them all back. don't worry about it

well...
toyota is a good company, but faults such as the big recall happen once in a while to all car companies...
