Another day - Another Toyota recall.

[F Body]

Toyota is preparing to recall 50,000 of its model year 2003 Sequoias.



There have been 160 reports of "inappropriate activation of the electronic stability control or the traction control system." Which is a fancy way of saying the vehicles suddenly seem to slow down on their own. Here's what the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is saying:

   "During the activation of either system, the driver loses throttle control and one of more brakes may apply, causing the vehicle to slow suddenly. During these activation events, the brake lights are not illuminated to signal to following traffic that the vehicle is slowing."

May be that's what they mean by "Getting rear ended in a Toyota"

Do you remember their catchphase ?

"The car in front is a Toyota"

I'm sure there's a few different takes on that by now . . .
