The point, which you seem determined not to address, is that Toyotas are not infallible as so many people here are resolutely claiming. They are quite the opposite actually, whether you chose to admit it or not.

I do not think anybody here is trying to suggest all American cars are perfect, only much better than Toyota's in most instances. I simply do not see American cars as a whole experiencing widespread engine failures on low mileage late model vehicles like Toyota's are.

I personally know multiple Toyota owners this has happened to, one of whom is a friend of mine who I had to loan money to for a new car after it happened to them. You might not want to accept the truth, but Consumer Affairs clearly indicates that these are not isolated incidents.

Want further proof? Take a look at these reviews right here on Carsurvey as examples, EACH ONE DOCUMENTING A LOW MILEAGE ENGINE FAILURE:

I could go on, but am tired of copying and pasting these endless horror stories...

I would hate to bring the conversation down to this level, but perhaps I should be the one telling you to "deal with it..."
