NEW YORK (CNNfn) - Ford Motor Co. confirmed Tuesday afternoon that it is replacing up to 13 million Firestone-brand tires on its vehicles, doubling the number of tires exchanged in last year's recall.
#2
On August 9, 2000, Ford Motor Company and Bridgestone/Firestone jointly announced a recall in the United States of approximately 6.5 million ATX, ATXII and Wilderness AT tires made in Decatur, Illinois because of tread separation problems.

13 million tires=3.25 million vehicles from the second recall.....6.5 million tires=1.625 million vehicles from the first...so ur looking at about 5 million cars total

yea but does ford manufacture those tires? no, toyota on the other hand does program the PCU in their cars. now I'm not saying that it couldn't be the fault of whoever supplies the electronics to toyota because right now we don't know

Granted my initial point may have been too broad. However i believe the heart of my argument is pretty clear here. When Toyota has a recall it has most often involved a part or issue that is very very serious. I understand that Ford had a large recall, but that was Firestone's issue. I received Firestones on my Silverado when i first bought it and immediately changed them. Didn't blame Chevy because the DEALER PUT THEM ON.

So maybe Toyota should start doing some more research into it's suppliers or dealers? What you have to understand is that it does not matter who makes what parts for what company, they all get assembled at the main plant and therefore each vehicle runs through a full inspection or at the very least a representative batch inspection which should have yielded these issues.

You can bring up more arguments all you want that's fine with me. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Now if you single out my post I will be glad to present a rebuttal. But i promise you will not change my mind about Toyota. I love my new truck except for the transmission, as I previously stated. I just don't trust how their TSB's have pertained to some VERY serious issues lately.

Agree on one thing Toyota should stop using parts manufactured in US.

Seriously, am I the only one who's IN LOVE with my truck still? I mean holy shit! It's like, if your truck isn't PERFECT right from the factory and doesn't stay that way (despite your stupidity) Toyota is at fault or something.

For crying out loud, no manufacturer has EVER made a perfect vehicle in all of history....not one! And you know what? I think that with almost 15k on my clock, with not a problem to speak of, I'm feelin pretty damn good!

F**k what ya heard; I still think my Tacoma is bitchin and I smile every time I see it. I don't need the media to tell me otherwise.

I'm with you, Recalls are just the car maker trying to correct the problem. They could just tell you to come in and pay for the fix .

I just sold a Suburban that was worth approx. $73,891.06...and it was a 1997...figured at least half of that was spent in gas/repairs...come hay or high water, I'm daggone glad I got my 2010 DC...the media are like piss ants at a picnic, and will swarm all over anything...fear not Tac drivers...let us gather in Washington DC!

If it wasn't for the media and the internet, I would would never have known how bad toyotas' really are. And after me just getting rid of my 01 tacoma that I had to put on tires and front brake pads in 60,000 miles. What a piece of junk that truck was. I'm sure glad I didn't listen to any one but my gut when I bought my 10 dc a 3 weeks ago. By the way I'm being sarcastic. If my new truck is half as reliable as my 01 was, I think I made a good choice. Only the next ten or so years willtell.

First, off, you have a couple of things you're misinformed about.

There were never any "faulty" floor mats. Only stupid people putting the wrong mats in the wrong car without the standard clips to keep them in the right place. Would Toyota be at fault if I filled my truck up with diesel?

Are you talking about the rear spring TSB when you say faulty rear suspension? I would hardly call it faulty. It works 100% fine. It just doesn't quite hold the payload that Toyota listed. If you actually load up the truck and need the increased payload go get the TSB done and quit your whining.

Do some research. Between 04 and 08 GM recalled over 7million vehicles! In 08 and 09 Ford recalled 14.1 million vehicles; the largest recall in history!

If I need to haul anything over 200lbs, I borrow my FIL's 10yr old Ranger.
Too painful to ride on the bumpstops to where I'm going....I guess when a truck gets past 36k mi, it isn't supposed to support it's own weight anymore.
That's what Toyota told me....After they told me to F-off if I wanted alloy wheels that actually kept their finish for more than 3 years.
