Your Toyota may need a NEW ENGINE

I hope not, because dealing with goon thug Toyota is a nightmare, as I learned the hard way when the engine disintegrated in my MR2 Spyder. Apparently, there weren't enough 2000 MR2 Spyders sold to prompt the interest of mainstream media, leaving ripped-off consumers like myself to pay for another one of Toyota's never-ending list of defective products out of their own pockets, to the average tune of about $8,500.

"The recall affects certain 2020 Avalon Hybrid, 2020 Camry, 2020 Camry Hybrid, 2019 to 2020 RAV4, 2019 to 2020 RAV4 Hybrid, and 2020 Lexus ES 300h models sold in the United States."

I'll say it again: I hope you're not one of Toyota's victims in this latest recall.

And just because this time Toyota's defective products have made headlines, don't assume you'll have an easy time of it settling with the dishonest thugs. Remember that the oil-sludge issue also made headlines, yet getting Toyota to pay for damages was a well-documented outrage for consumers. So expect Toyota to pay-off a few congressmen as well as NHTSA and get out of this one of 2020's major recalls as cheaply as possible, regardless of the hardship it inflicts on consumers.

How many more of Toyota's defective products will be exposed in 2020 is anyone's guess.
