They Can Do No Right

Toyota has halted sales of their Lexus LS model, the company's flagship, because of a steering issue:

The company said May 21 it would recall 3,800 of its model 2009 and early 2010 LS 460 and LS 600h L sedans to fix an “off- center” steering-wheel condition that can develop during certain driving maneuvers. Toyota isn’t aware of any deaths or injuries related to the problem and has received one U.S. complaint, said Bill Kwong, a company spokesman.

Kwong:

“Until there’s a fix, we can’t sell the vehicle,” said Kwong, based in Torrance, California.

With all the problems that BP has had, it's easy to forget the tumultuous year that Toyota has had. They have always been on their high horse about their quality. Now that their having problems with their cars, they have been knocked off. Other companies are definitely performing better right now with General Motors making a profit, Ford doing well, Honda continuing their success. For someone who isn't the biggest fan of Toyota, this is fantastic.
