More Toyota quality problems

http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/21/n...d-pontiac-vib/

Funniest quote from the blog comments:

"This may become the first windows recall that doesn't require PC owners to download a patch. (Hardy har har.)"


EDIT: Wow! This is post 3,333 for me!

It's awful enough to have to drive with an inoperable window down in the winter, but imagine it shattering while driving.

Plus all of the people who don't have a garage to park the car in are going to have to do the old plastic bag and duct tape trick until their car can be fixed. Yikes! Not good!

I'm sure the import fanboys will spin this as: "Well, whaddya expect, it was built by Americans in an American factory! Never woulda happened if it had been built by Toyota IN Japan."

I actually saw this happen to somebody within the past year that owns a Carolla. The elderly owner was baffled as to why it shattered, and I thought it was pretty weird.
