Must Be A mistake

14 years ago

Noticed Honda also has a big recall along with Toyota, however, this has to be a mistake, nothing ever happens to Japanese cars all run 300K with no repairs needed

Will be interesting to see how the public takes this! Me,will only buy Honda. Toyota, and would consider Nissan! Never had a problem with the Acura Integras I owned, only reason why I traded them in was for selfish reason and got hit from behind which the police estimated the kid was doing 60 KM/per/hr and walked away from it. Plus my wifes 98 Camry is running good as new, so is our 2005 Scion

Funny thing is I convinced my parents to buy a 2009 Venza,which they love. They bragged about it soo much my inlaws bought a 2009 Venza!! And of course this recall happens! Do I look suspicious or what? lol They are both still very happy with their purchase, and not regretting it. They are happy Toyota has stepped up to the plate and is going to fix the problem

As well must mention that my parents normally bought Ford or dodge and they rarely ever had a problem! They are not ones to drive their vehicles hard and they take care of their vehicles! I think thats the biggest part for a vehicle to last--doing the up keep!! I have friends that state their vehicles (various makes) are junk------Well they drive them to the ground and do very little upkeep, so what do they expect??

Karen, clone the seeds. Plant an area with just those tomato plants, and let self-pollinate, and save the seeds from the plant. When you do, let me know so i can provide you with my mailing address so you can send me some. I will pay for envelope and stamp. I know you said they are about 8 years old, but you will be surprise to notice that some of those seeds might still germinate. At least i hope!. Good luck!

Does anyone have an Electrolux Icon refrigerator?
Q
Comments (7)
Reviving the question asked by spective that was never answered. Owners of Electrolux Icon Professional E23BC68JPS and IQ-Touch EI23BC80KS refrigerators please weigh in re: things you like and don't like on each model. Pricing I obtained today from a vendor has the Icon at ~$300 more than the IQ-80. I like the self-close fridge drawers on the IQ-80, which the Icon does not have (surprisingly). But I like the open/wire upper/third freezer shelf on the Icon vs the solid soft serve shelf on the IQ-80. I also like the handles on the Icon, although the IQ-80 handles seem nice enough. Trying to determine if the Icon is worth the extra $300. Thanks!!!

Soonergrandmom & Seedmama - Thanks a heap!

Sue, I am so glad that you like it and sorry I couldn't send along the ice cream to go with it. LOL I have used the name 'soonergrandmom' for years. I have 16 grandchildren and they all call me Grandmom. We have a house divided, I think. My youngest son granduated from OSU, and my husband got his Masters at OSU. On the other side of the coin, my daughter is a 'die-hard' OU fan. Okie's are called Sooners because of the Oklahoma Land Rush, but my daughter tells her Dad and brother that I am really an OU fan and that is why I use that name. Truth is, I'm really not much of a football fan. I think I'll go have a bowl of ice cream. [grin]

NYE Issue with Holiday Inn--not sf related
Q
Comments (14)
Well yesterday I finally got a call from the Holiday Inn that charged me for 4 rooms and the manager said he would get it all taken care of. I told him that I should get 2 free rooms for my inconvenience. He said he could do one and I said that since I have overpaid for 6 rooms between the two hotels and am going to be paying late fees on bills I can not pay since they have $1600 of my money that 2 rooms is the least they can do. He said he would speak to the general manager. Today I looked at my bank statement online and only one room was refunded. So I called the general manager directly this morning and told him of only one room being refunded. He apologized and said he thought everything had been taken care of yesterday and he would get to the bottom of it today. I also asked him about the 2 rooms and he said no problem! That Holiday Inn has an indoor waterpark so that will be a lot of fun for our kids and we are going to bring another couple and their kids with as well when we go. As for the Holiday Inn I did stay at that overcharged me for two rooms. Well they said right away that they would take care of it, but they still have not. I left a message for their general manager and I am going to insist on free rooms there too for the inconvenience. This has all been such a hassle! Free rooms at each is the least they can do. Lesson learned--I will never book with a debit card instead of a regular credit card again!

Fords quality is on par (or maybe better now) than Toyota.

At least Toyota have taken the bull by the horns and issued the recall notice. If only Ford did likewise so soon with the Pinto. In time I can see Toyota coming out of this smelling of roses. I still wouldn't buy one. Or a Honda. Or a Hyundai. I have had several cars from Asian manufacturers in the past. They may be safe and reliable, and value for money to buy. But holy cow are spares expensive! EUR 80 for a set of Nissan Micra plug leads. EUR 90 for a Daewoo Lanos crankcase breather hose (there was an airflow sensor that was an integral part of the hose rather than a seperate item). GM spares are a fraction of the cost and nowadays anyway the cars don't seem any less reliable.

very true about parts for lots of imported stuff, my granson bought a toyota and the ignition module shot craps, nearly 5 bills for a new one. He was fortunate, found one on Ebay for $100.
