In Toyota, these recalls are because Toyoda took over. Then announced Toyota was at step three in a five year corporate failure process. Started demanding transparency and corporate corrections. So a year later, stuff came out.

IOW Toyota is suffering from a mismanagement problem from four and nine years ago. Toyoda is simply cleaning out the closet AND fixing problems created by his predecessor - who was an economist, who never developed a car, and who never worked outside of corporate offices.

Whereas Toyota news is this cleanup, other manufacturers (Hummer, Saturn, Chrylser) continue to have the same problems that have always had.

In about five years, view Chrysler to see if Marchionne has finallly eliminated that automaker’s #1 problem - their management. Toyoda has addressed it in Toyota. GM still is lying. Here we are half way through 2010 and the Volt - their first hybrid - is still not selling. 16 years after Clinton gave them $millions to design one, they still do not have a hybrid.

Your error code says the IACV is defective. The tech has replaced four computers - and still will not replace what would be defective - the IACV? Who is that guy’s boss? Call the Honda regional office. That is why Honda has corporate specialists whose job is to address such problems.
