This is serious! It's not the lock, or the mirror or something menial that does not endanger lives. The American people need to demand better. The best way to get the attention of businesses we pay our money to is to withhold the money!!!!! Someone asked, "What about your credit rating? I think any future check on my credit rating would understand. I have excellent credit. But my life and the life of others is more important than my credit rating. I have a car I can not drive. I have not received a recall letter. If and when I do get a letter, so what? Evidently the problem has not been fixed!! Keep the money, let them take the car!

A quick consult with a cross-cultural specialist would have averted the trust issue by advising Toyota to "come clean" much earlier in the game, own up to a mistake which was a relatively easy fix, and move on as the squeaky clean, honest manufacturing protecting its customers.
