It's probably not the right time for that from a PR standpoint (although personally I wish they would question or challenge the story). It's best for Toyota to apologize, take their lumps keep working on any real issues and move on.

Thanks. After some thought, I had actually deleted that original post where I made that statement, because it's hard to tell just what actually happened in that car and how she dealt with it. You can't necessarily accuse her of lying or even gross exaggeration, though I agreed, in my reply to flipside909, (see that response, #762) that some things about her account with the transmission shift lever sound fishy.

Here's car guru Ed Wallace's take on the whole thing. Great article in todays BusinessWeek:
WALLACE'S WORLD February 25, 2010, 3:42PM EST
The Toyota Witch Hunt
Much of the testimony from Congress's Toyota hearings is riveting and emotional but can't be trusted, writes Ed Wallace

I am thinking of having a big "I love my Toyota and FU Congress and Media" car meet.

"All I ever wanted was for Lexus to take the car back"
Again, this is simply my opinion, but it's a severe case of buyer's remorse, plain and simple. I do not believe a single word of her story. She's just jumping on the "run-a-way Toyota" bandwagon.

IMO, she (Mrs. Smith) said something that gave her entire story away.

lady I saw on television having enough strength to do that or even thinking about putting on the parking brake while traveling at 100mph.
