I have to admit, living in New York, the variety of cars on the road is intriguing. Being a huge car freak, I pay close attention to a lot of cars on the road, and with everything going on in the news, epically Toyota’s. For the last couple months Toyota motor company has been going through a lot of troubles with their vehicles. This got me thinking; do students here at Suny old Westbury know what’s going on with their cars? So on a nice Monday I walked around the parking lot asking students who drove Toyota’s if they knew if their car was a candidate for the massive recall. Upon speaking to Krista Gotcliffe, a student from Stony Brook University and a driver of a 2009 Toyota corolla, she had no idea of the recall and when she found out she said, “I never heard of any recalls, but my father always takes care of my car”. This is a major problem cause the Toyota corolla is known to have the sticking accelerator -pedal problem. Driving is a privilege, but if you don’t keep in contact with your car manufacture, you may end up wondering why you car just keeps on accelerating. Below is a list of the vehicles that are under recall.
It’s only a matter of time where more people lose their lives because there not educated. Toyota is currently taking multiple approaches towards informing the public. Aside from the fact that this is a highly publicized recall, Toyota is keeping and updated recall list, complete with specifications, on their website and is available for viewing by the public.
