An article published in The New York Times on February 12, 2010, “Toyota’s Wrecked Image Needs the Right Bodywork,” described the situation that Toyota Motors is facing today. It goes back in the past and relates Toyota’s situation with other instances like this that affected Bridgestone, the Japanese tire maker, and Johnson & Johnson. However, these companies were able to get out of this situation and restore their reputations. Millions of cars are being recalled because of gas-pedal problems, production stalled, and executives now in the hot seat for Toyota Motors. Since this has happened in the past with other companies, hopefully Toyota will follow their paths that they had taken. However, this is such a dangerous mistake on Toyota’s part because of the safety of the vehicles. I feel as if Toyota will get through this in time because before this happened they had a reputation of reliable vehicles. The article mentioned that Toyota did apologize for what they did so that helps too. Everyone makes mistakes, some good and some bad. So hopefully consumers will recognize this fact and forgive Toyota Motors. I know that it is a serious issue, but they are willing and trying to fix the problem.
Would you buy a vehicle from Toyota Motors knowing that they had a recall because of the safety of their vehicles?
