pooty(<--- language filters are funny!), that's no good... I guess its kinda surprising we haven't seen anything like this, you'd kind of expect some screw ups at some point. I'm sure its nothing they can't work around, its not like the technology is inherently flawed or anything. Its just new and still needs some ironing out.

It doesn't sound too bad to me, but I always wonder with all the pre intro testing car manufacturers do how something like this can occur.

Where is the huge media coverage?? If it was a Ford being recalled it would be spread over all of the front pages!!!

It was on CNN also. I'm sure it will be on the news in the next couple of days as it starts to filter out. News media is a weird thing...

Not wierd, easy to understand:

US company = kick nuts ASAP & often
Japan Auto company = look the other way.

Thanks for the info, I will pass it along to my Aunt and my cousin (they both drive Prius...es...whatever the plural of that word is). As much as I wish this would hit the news, don't count on it.

Yes I agree they are biased, but they can't keep it hidden forever.
