$1 billion class-action lawsuit launched on Toyota over vehicle emissions

- Start date
I wonder if/when the EV class action lawsuits will begin. The smart money says give it some time.

If anyone can make it through these bumps in the road, Toyota can.
So the best cars on planet, the Japanese, suddenly are not that great....
So we have an allegation and no indication of how the alleged infraction was discovered or implemented.
It will be interesting to see what happens. We may not get much news here in the US as we don't get Toyota diesels here.

For sure.
Just some ambulance chasing lawyers.
I think as of today, the biggest TV shows on cable are concerning the Camp Lejeune water supply. Along with who drank it a half a century ago. There is only one episode however. And it's been in reruns for the past 2 months.
I was stationed there during that time frame and I can’t change the channel quick enough when one of them comes on. Good to know they are there if needed but sensory overload to the nth degree.
So when VW did the test cheat all the regulatory agencies were the ones that brought legal action. If its true why no such action in Australia?
Makes it seem less believable?

Sounds similar to the device that Volkswagen used on their diesel engines.

Australia probably needs the money for their pending lawsuits for the internment camps where people were sent / imprisoned during the "thing".

Toyota is really not that good,.sorry
They MAY HAVE BEEN at one point.. 4Runners ALWAYS lost to Explorers, Blazers, Land Cruisers (used to be good) in tests..smaller engine.. weird seating positions I hear cited a lot. Supras were fast but not like OMG fast then Fast and Furious came out... now Supras are BMWs.. IMHO, Toyotas ain't that great.
500,000 vehicles, a needle in a haystack, even if true, which remains to be proven, $1 billion, nothing more than a bee sting to Toyota.
Thats not who buys Toyota's. People buy Toyota's for reliability and that's pretty much it. There are always "better" vehicles out there. The only exception is the overland crowd, who buy Toyota's due to their global support infrastructure - but most "overlanders" don't go much past their local state park so most of that is irrelevant.
You could argue there quality has declined recently, but that might be true for everyone.
FWIW - I am loyal to no car company - they all have good and bad.
Remember the ole sayings of Toyota, Jack of all trades, master of none.

Cheating? No way. I'm pretty sure VW didn't either
Wonder if an 'insider' got fired and squealed.
