Can we please not drag a good faith discussion into a needless flame war?
@ifadey didn't say Toyota was unreliable, just that their reliability isn't what it used to be and is going down. This is all they said.
This isn't new either and has been going on for the past several years with government level and regulatory investigations also finding issues with Toyota and it's related brands including Daihatsu, Hino and Lexus, specially regarding falsifying safety reports and lying about vehicle emissions etc.
All of this is well documented and covered by mainstream media over the years including CNN, Reuters (1, 2), Associated Press, US Govt. (1, 2), and Japanese media (1, 2, 3, 4).
And before you start saying I'm an anti-Toyota fanboy, I myself drive a JDM Toyota hybrid and it isn't my first JDM Toyota or Lexus hybrid either.
