The Prius V herein the US failed the new IIHS small offset crash test in 2014 and was a piece of steel to improve safety... on the driver's side only and when the passenger side was tested, it got a fail. IiHS even pointed out the extended steel beam and couldn't figure why a company would do that. Well, it's obvious that Toyota doesn't care about the safety of their customers
@@stevenjones916 It would have been in the UK news if it had been in some other countries, such as the USA. It involved a manufacturer that was at the time selling cars in the UK.
They will get their just rewards when their ongoing scandals, regulatory interference and total lack of will to evolve their products to BEV will result in bankruptcy this decade. Or, best case: a government bailed-out company just a fraction of the size of their once dominant position.
Anecdotally, I was told by an ex employee that in the far past, samples of Melbourne built Camry cars for ANCAP testing were structurally modified prior to test.
The VW Fox sold in Brazil was built with inferior quality steel and thinner panels. Euro ncap tested side by side the European and Brazilian Fox specialy imported for the test, the crash results on the Brazilian Fox was horrifying.
VAG had always a problem with the truth as pressure from Porsche familiy was that high to get results at any price. But what about Toyodas? Also criminals?
Always love tuning into you Sam. Remember the days when there was a tuning knob on the radio, fine tune on the telli. If they can can modify to improve the test results, why not do it for every car? The old companies know they are doomed and no longer care. Its only a matter of time. Thanks for the inside info. This should be in the media for sure! All the best to your wife.
Yup I am from Malaysia info from Sam here is correct. Toyota’s admission of wrongdoing involved the 2023 Perodua Axia, Toyota Vios (Yaris Ativ in Thailand and other markets), Toyota Agya and one yet-to-be-launched model. More than 88,000 units of the affected models have been sold in Malaysia.
we used to laugh about Chinese "golden samples" (basically a sample that is perfect unlike a production model), looks like the Japanese are now making "golden samples".
If one manufacturer had the idea to do this and almost got away with it, could it be the case that they have got away with it in other cases and that other manufacturers have done this also? 🤷🏻♂️
Indeed no way will I buy an EV from any of the legacy auto companies I don’t care how good they make it I just won’t trust them! This is just yet another nail in the coffin of the legacy auto car industry!
Why have much of the media not said anything? - Toyota spend so much money on advertising in Australia. They would spend 10X MORE than any other car company in Australia. It sponsors ever sport as well.
Check how many Tesla models have been recalled and all the Cyber Trucks made so far.Steering wheels falling off Teslas that were being driven at the time.
As a Camry driver for 26 years, I don't want an apology, I want to know what is being done to stop the fraud, e.g., who/how many executives were fired? Oh, wait, never mind, I'm buying a Tesla.
Hmmm, I thought that in Japan, if some guy is accountable for something dishonourable, there's supposed to be an act of seppuku. So, Mr. Toyoda, who's up? You, maybe?
Flatly unacceptable by Daihatsu and Toyota. Even if it is Daihatsu in the first place, Toyota has a responsibility to make sure rigging of crash tests is NOT happening AT ANY LEVEL on their cars. Real lives are affected!
Maybe it is worth to clarify that euro NCAP testing is done on cars bought anomalously through the regular dealer network. This eliminates any possibility of a manufacturer prepping the test car in advance.
Because they sell cars in the millions they stand to save many millions of dollars for every dollar they spend LESS on their cars. So if they cost cut on the integrity of their cars say to the value of $100 per car, multiply that by the ten million they sell every year=$100,000,000 as a rough example. VW were drawn and quartered over Dieselgate and fined billions but barely a murmur heard about Toyota. Mitsubishi was also caught out and quietly let off the hook.
@@stoner27th Yeah thanks for that, I hit the reply key with some trepidation that I had it wrong and I'm pleased I was under and not over. I was depending on some good soul to correct me if I got it wrong.

Yeah they won’t be able to continue to blame supply chain problems much longer as the drop in sales over the next couple of years will be so large that even the Toyota fanboys will realise they are in big trouble! Expect the stock price to take a hit as big investors pullout. I believe some investors have already raised concerns about the direction of Toyota.
Also. It is a bit immoral to change the safety aspect of the car being sold, just because that government allows it. Is that something that Tesla does not do? Another reason to love Tesla!
That is precisely WHY we have regulations, regulation enforcement and laws with courts (which corporations and Republi-cons consistently try their utmost to weaken or eliminate)!
Nothing to worry about as long as ESG scores are great. Just like with emission standards it is getting harder and harder to meet standards with cheap vehicles.

This is definitely due to cost cutting to bring down the price for these countries and make it more affordable. I believe this is not the first time they've done this sort of act, but definitely first time for them to get caught for doing so. There goes my booking for a vios in Malaysia.
It is my understanding that Toyota is no longer the king of quality. They have begun to value cost reduction ahead of quality and are resting on their reputation. This cheating just further reinforces that claim in my mind.
how is cheating crash tests going to be prevented? i assumed they just use the same insurance company money used to buy expensive tests, to buy a car like a customer so crompany has no way of guessing which car will be used for testingr
I am guessing this action will continue until customers stop purchasing their product. ... Sigh. ... Saddly, they appear they are going for the lowest viable marketable product, not the best they can do in that vehicle segment.

Safety was never their concern for customers, because they have lawyers, delays, court motions, magazines and newspapers that will change the narrative etc. Toyota is no better apparently sadly. ah well. Maybe the people doing the tests should pick vehicles on the assembly line and do real random testing and no brown envelopes with money in them as well 😞
They aren’t showing how bad these cars are n a crash when the batteries burst into flame you have 5 seconds to get out. Because the battery is under the car the flames come up by the doors you would barely get kids or pets out in time! Don’t touch these death traps!

It'll be interesting how much Toyota being a big brand name comes back to bite them as more and more people go down the EV etc. rabbit hole. I didn't used to know much about any brand before EVs but I drove an old Toyota so every time their name was mentioned negatively by EV people I'd been following for awhile you can bet that I noticed. Granted these days it's more along the lines of just shaking my head at a Has Been/wishing they'd get out of the way of everyone's progress already and let sustainable legislation and regulators just get on with it already.
You have to look through the propaganda that Sam Evans likes to rattle on about. How is the LandCruiser 70 series such an unsafe vehicle to drive? It's a very solid and dependable vehicle that's proven itself for decades in mining and off-road. It's very good that this vehicle is still being made available to people who want something that's utilitarian and without all the bells and whistles. It's a little overpriced though but if people are prepared to pay it then that's their prerogative. The new Ienos Grenadier that's based heavily on the old Land Rover must be a dangerous vehicle to drive as well.
Once upon a time there was this guy that thought you could have an autopilot system without needing to have an inward facing camera to monitor the driver and check they weren't asleep. Apparently he knew better than the NTSB. It took 4 deaths before he grudgingly accepted he was wrong and that yes, you do need cameras after all.

Can it have something to do with the fact that the affected models have not been sold in US and EU?
Anecdotally, I was told by an ex employee that in the far past, samples of Melbourne built Camry cars for ANCAP testing were structurally modified prior to test.
That's why the independent Eurocap and ANCAP test should also be done so the test can't be rigged by the manufacturer.
