Hollywood produced a movie a few years ago, “Fools Don’t Rush In,” in which a guy fell in love with Selma Hayek but played it cool and coy, and ultimately won her heart.
The movie’s title is my theme for advising people about their rights under California’s lemon law with respect to the many Toyota vehicles that have been recalled. Those of you who have been following have, as of today’s date (March of 2010) observed that Toyota has decided to fight these cases. The most dramatic recent case involves the driver in San Diego who accelerated to pass another car and his Prius thereafter speeded up to 94 mph and would not slow down. One would imagine that Toyota would “roll over” and settle the case quickly, but instead it sent its engineers to a local dealership and tried to replicate the defect. The engineers could not reproduce the defect, whereupon Toyota kicked its public relations machine into high gear to flood the internet with stories challenging the driver’s credibility and competence as a driver.
