MNAOTUMIA MAGARI YA TOYOTA SOMENI HAPA



Toyota in new doubts over fault remedies

Toyota's latest woes were the Prius' brakes
A US Congressional committee has cast doubts on Toyota's plans to fix its two acceleration problems.
In a memo to lawmakers it said there was growing evidence neither Toyota nor federal safety officials had identified all the faults.
The memo cited "substantial evidence" of redesigned floormats failing to stop the pedals sticking under the mats.
Earlier, Toyota recalled 436,000 hybrid vehicles worldwide, including its latest Prius, to fix brake problems.
The total includes more than 200,000 Prius cars sold in Japan and 8,500 cars in the UK.
TOYOTA RECALLS: STORY SO FAR
September 2007, US: 55,000 Camry and Lexus cars in floormat recall
October 2009, US: 3.8m Toyota and Lexus vehicles recalled due to floormat problem
November 2009, US: floormat recall increased to 4.2m vehicles
January 2010, US: 2.3m Toyota vehicles recalled due to accelerator pedal problems (of those, 2.1m already involved in floormat recall)
January 2010, US: 1.1m Toyotas in floormat recall
February 2010, Europe: 1.8m Toyota's in pedal recall
February 2010, Japan, US: 200 reports of brake faults in new Prius. Cars recalled
February 2010, worldwide: 436,000 hybrid vehicles in brake recall. Also, 7,300 Camry vehicles recalled in the US over potential brake tube problems

The memo from the US House of Representatives Oversight and Government Reform Committee also raised questions about the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
The committee had been due on Wednesday to publicly grill Toyota's management, as well as federal regulators, but bad weather means the hearing will now take place later this month.
"There appears to be a growing body of evidence that neither Toyota nor NHTSA have identified all the causes of sudden unintended acceleration in Toyota vehicles," said the memo, which was dated 5 February, but released on Tuesday.
"Moreover, there is substantial evidence that remedies such as redesigned floor mats have failed to solve the problem."
The saga began in the US with reports that accelerator pedals were getting caught under the floormats.
The Japanese car giant began taking back vehicles potentially affected by that problem in October last year and Toyota redesigned the mats.
The floormat issue affected a number of vehicles in the US, but not the UK.
Later, separate acceleration problems were found to be caused by the pedal sticking.
This is being fixed by adding a small piece of metal - called a "shim" - in a procedure that Toyota starts at dealerships in the UK on Wednesday.
Company president Akio Toyoda made the latest recall announcement at a news conference in Tokyo on Tuesday.
Afterwards, he told reporters he might go to the US next week to explain details about the recall.
Credit rating agency Moody's said it had put Toyota's credit rating on review for a possible downgrade, following the latest recall.
Slow reaction
Toyota's president has come under criticism in Japan itself from the country's Transport Minister Seiji Maehara for not reacting quickly enough to recall faulty vehicles.
"I wish you had taken measures earlier rather than simply saying it was not a major technical problem," Mr Maehara told Mr Toyoda in a meeting.
There have been complaints in Japan and the US that the brakes momentarily fail when driven on rough or slippery road surfaces.
US federal regulators received 124 reports from drivers about it, including four of crashes.
There have been no reports of any such accidents in the UK.
Before it announced the Prius recall in Japan, Toyota estimated its losses would reach $2bn (£1.23bn) in costs and lost sales.
The Prius recall is expected to send this figure even higher.
Do you own a Toyota? Are you affected by the recall? Have you experienced problems with your car?
TO CALL THE POLICE WHEN YOU'RE OLD AND DON'T MOVE FAST ANYMORE.

George Phillips , an elderly man, from Meridian , Mississippi , wasgoing up to bed, when his wife told him that he'd left the light on inthe garden shed, which she could see from the bedroom window. George opened the back door to go turn off the light, but saw that there were people in the shed stealing things.He phoned the police, who asked "Is someone in your house?"He said "No," but some people are breaking into my garden shed and stealing from me.Then the police dispatcher said "All patrols are busy. You shouldlock your doors and an officer will be along when one is available."George said, "Okay."He hung up the phone and counted to 30. Then he phoned the police again."Hello, I just called you a few seconds ago because there were people stealing things from my shed. Well, you don't have to worry about them now because I just shot them." and he hung up.Within five minutes, six Police Cars, a SWAT Team, a Helicopter, two Fire Trucks, a Paramedic, and an Ambulance showed up at the Phillips'residence, and caught the burglars red-handed.One of the Policemen said to George , "I thought you said that you'd shot them!"
George said, "I thought you said there was nobody available!"

KWANINI WAAFRIKA HATUENDELEI?

WHY AFRICANS ARE ALWAYS TIRED

Its not laziness, here is the reason for a couple years many Africans have been blaming it on lack of sleepToo much pressure from job, poor blood, but now the real reason has been found:
We're tired because we're overworked. Here's why: The population of Africa is 800 million: 200 million are retired. That leaves 600 million.
There are 200 million in school.Which leaves 400 million to do the work.
Of this, there are 100 million employed by the government.Leaving 300 million to do the work.
50 Million are in the armed forces & related jobs.Which leaves 250 million to do the work.
Take from the total the 150 million people unemployed.
And that leaves 100 million to do the work.
At any given time there are 50 Million people in hospitals.Leaving 50 Million to do the work.
There are 20 Million people in prisons.Leaving 30 million to do the work.
1 Million are Chiefs, Kings, Queens , Presidents, Ministers,Pastors, Voodoo or Juju Masters.Leaving 29 Million to do the work.
Now, 28,999,998 Africans are out of Africa . In Europe, USA, Asia etc.That leaves just two people to do all the work.
You and me... But you're sitting on your chair, at your computer,Reading this joke instead of working............That leaves one person, only me, to do all the work
