Toyota Warns About Faulty Engines

[Raistlin]

Japanese car giant Toyota has warned about potential faults with the engines of about 270,000 cars it has sold worldwide, including the luxury Lexus.

It said the engines could stall while being driven, but affected vehicles have not yet been recalled.

This is the latest problem to hit the carmaker, which has recalled more than 10 million vehicles globally since last September.

Fresh figures show Toyota's June sales were up 26.7% on a year ago.

Worries about further reputational damage and the costs of a potential recall pushed Toyota shares down by more than 2% on Thursday.

Nice double post....

I am pretty at Toyota for their penny-pinching and failures lately. They aren't helping themselves at all because truth be told, they aren't making them like they used to!

Vic's AE92 GL Executive is a prime example. It starts it goes and it stops when the key is turned out the barrel.

They really need to get their act together now because they are only harming themselves with all of these recalls...

Blah blah blah...

Toyota's sales are up.... recent survey's have shown that people didn't pay too much attention to the media hype (apart from Americans)....

Plus i don't recall seeing many people on here actually experiencing any of the 'problems' that supposadly affected the particular models...

Toyota are now obviously airing on the side of caution after their hefty fine from the American's...
