Re: The Real Problem

On the web, Plastic shims for Toyotas

The ''fix'' is in. cuhulin

Toyota dealer shows us fix for sticking accelerator pedals.

What would Japanese auto industry be like if America haden't sent American auto engineers and auto industrial tools and machinery to Japan after World War Two? Ford and other U.S.brand name autos quality is as good, even better than anything Japan and other auto manufacturers around the World turns out.You just can not beat Detroit Iron! Detroit Iron keeps on running long, long after the foreign brand name autos have long since crapped out.

Before World War Two, there was a Chevrolet factory and a Harley Davidson factory in China. cuhulin

Actually, it was before.

Deming visited the Toyota plant in the 30's and helped identify problems that were holding them back. Everyone in the US turned him down.

In the forties engineers from Ford went to Japan and helped Toyota rebuild. They are still building cars based on the Ford system from then, modified, of course, but basically the same.

Hmmm...notice that both Ford AND Toyota are having trouble with their regenerative braking systems...?

(Actually, not really a 'problem'. There is a brief hesitation in braking as the system switches from Regenerative to hydraulic. Ever driven a Caravan with the Bendix ABS system?)

Or the appearance of a fix.

I've had two Fords, both constantly troublesome and both fit only for scrap (mainly rust) after only 6 years.

British built Fords?

In a previous post of yours, you said wires also rust.All of the wires in my old vehicles are copper wires, all of the wires in my home are copper wires too.Copper wiring connections can, and sometimes do corrode.No big problem for me to squirt some CRC on there and use a little wire brush to clean that up. cuhulin
