Great Toyota Parts

Posted by admin on Monday Jul 19, 2010 Under Toyota News

Cars are something we use to get by with our daily lives. They have been changed and improved over the years, with better safety feature and luxury features as well. With the stress of our lives today we would like to have comfort and power operated auto part with the push of a button.

Today, most cars come with an air conditioning system that keeps the driver and the passenger cabin comfortable with the scorching heat the summer can bring. The introduction of the air conditioning and heat system was a big step in the auto industry. It gave drivers the same comforts as home.

At the heart of this system is the Toyota AC Condenser. This part is the one in charge of dissipating heat absorbed from the car’s interior. It works the same as the Toyota Radiator, which actually cools the engine. Usually, the air flowing through the ac condenser is supplemented by the Toyota Condenser Fan.

A bad AC system means great discomfort on your part so if your Toyota AC system isn’t functioning because of damaged auto parts make sure you replace the defective part or parts immediately to avoid the problem. Especially when you are using your car on long drives, replacing it is essential. A long drive can be very tiring; but with an efficient AC system you can arrive at your destination with more ease and more comfortably.

Of course, just having a good AC won’t make the whole ride comfortable there is also the issue of weather and traffic to consider. However the small role the AC has makes a big difference.

For your AC condenser needs, you can go to Toyota Parts Online.
This auto parts store offers many Toyota parts, including Toyota Headlights and Toyota Wheels.

Digging Deeper Into the ‘Runaway Toyota’ Scandal

Posted by admin on Sunday Jul 4, 2010 Under Toyota News

I turn on the news, and if I didn’t know any better, I would think Hollywood has launched a brilliant viral marketing campaign for its newest recycled horror film: The villain, a seemingly typical hybrid that refuses to listen to its driver or its own brake pads, a metaphor for our blind faith in the hybrid automotive industry; the victims, more than 8.5 million Toyota owners of such demonized machines worldwide, four of whom tragically meet their demise. Hey, it worked with a cell phone, right?

But reports from several independent agencies, as well as Toyota’s own investigation, seem to tell a strikingly different tale, one with all the embellishment, absurdity, and public interest of a prime-time reality show. More often than not, these reports find in such allegedly runaway Priuses – by far the most numerous of all runaways reported – that accidents were caused by human error, not faulty brakes.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), which reports on vehicle safety issues, recalls and defects, found in one such accident in New York City on March 9, 2010, that “information retrieved from the vehicle’s onboard computer systems indicated there was no application of the brakes and the throttle was fully open” when the vehicle crashed into a stone wall, alleging that the driver was, in fact, at fault.

And the southern Californian who claimed his Prius reached speeds exceeding 90 miles per hour on a crowded freeway the day before? Toyota’s report – confirmed by a congressional committee – finds that his brake pedal and accelerator were repeatedly depressed upwards of 250 times, which can cause the safety feature designed to stop unintended acceleration to fail, among other inconsistencies with his story.

So what, if anything, would cause drivers to create their own chapters in The Case of the Runaway Prius? Well, for one, we are social creatures and crave attention in any form. It is also natural for humans to want to blame an accident of any kind on something – or someone – else. Once an alibi is created, or a loophole produced, especially one with such media attention as the Runaway Prius, it is also natural for such alibis to be repeated. Compound these with the potential for monetary gain through class-action lawsuit, and any such event can be blown out of proportion. As with every story, it is critical to read the facts from reputable sources, lest we begin to believe the works of fiction.
