People seem to forget the recent recalls of all car makers. Remember the Firestone tires on Explorers? Yeah, it was a major deal then, but no one thinks about it now. Same will be true for Toyota in a few years. They will right themselves. I bought my Toyota, and couldn't even get a test drive the first time because there was no one available, they were so busy... and it was a Tuesday night. Hardly looked like a dealer in trouble from not selling their cars!

All companies have had major recalls at this point. Toyota's recalls are breaking records for one simple reason. They have outsold every other brand for the past decade. If you sell more, you have to recall more, plain and simple. It doesn't mean that every car has issues. In fact it is very few of them. Like I said, a few years go by and things will go back to the way they were...

The same car may be recalled more than once for different reasons.

Once all the recalls have been taken care of, that car should be pretty darn good.
