I Think They Have A Quality Control Problem

When I was told that Toyota had recalled all of its bZ4X electric SUV’s, I assumed that there was some sort of problem with the battery. I assumed wrong. I don’t know how well the battery works, but that is somewhat insignificant if the wheels fall off.

Yesterday The Western Journal posted an article about the problem.

The article reports:

In June, Toyota warned buyers of its bZ4X electric SUV not to drive their vehicles for fear the wheels could fall off. Toyota said at the time the cause was a mystery, but it would look into the glitch.

Toyota has not yet found a solution to the problem and is offering to buy back the SUV from its owners, according to CNN.

“We know that our customers have many choices when it comes to purchasing a vehicle. We appreciate their loyalty and are supporting them through this recall,” Toyota said in a statement, according to The Verge. “However, if a customer does not want to proceed with the provided options, we will offer to repurchase their bZ4X.”

Plan B for owners who want to keep a vehicle they may never be able to drive is to have free use of another Toyota vehicle until such time as Toyota figures out what went wrong and how to fix it.

I shall continue to drive my rather aged Mustang convertible. It’s been years since a recall was issued on my car.
