Toyota Should Have Heeded The Warnings

Toyota Prius

10-months ago on April 27. 2009, in the article, Prius Problems, the Judiciary Report wrote about a piece in the Miami New Times, regarding Toyota Prius vehicles accelerating without prompting and accompanying problems with its brakes and floor mats. It was leading up to a disaster. However, due to the fact Toyota had what they deemed a small number of complaints, drivers were labeled at fault, not the motor cars.

Fast forward 10-months. The new Toyota line with the same braking system is unveiled and massive trouble erupts. Over the past week, the national news has been dominated by reports of a Toyota recall, due to faulty brakes and floor mats. 2.6 vehicles have been recalled.

A family died in California, when the accelerator on their Toyota Lexus sped the vehicle up to dangerous speeds and refused to stop. The dad's last words to 911 were, "We’re in a Lexus. . . and we’re going north on 125 and our accelerator is stuck. . . we’re in trouble. . . there’s no brakes. . . we’re approaching the intersection. . . hold on. . . hold on and pray. . . pray.”

Today, a famous Toyota Prius owner, Steve Wozniak, who is co-founder of Apple Inc, stated his vehicle sped up as well and refused to stop, forcing him to pump the brakes.

Toyota recall: last words from a family killed as Lexus crashed

February 3, 2010 - The final moments of a family killed in a car crash apparently caused by a faulty accelerator on a Toyota vehicle have been made public as lawyers challenge the company’s safety record.

Four members of the same family died in a hired Lexus that allegedly accelerated out of control. Mark Saylor, 45, an off-duty California highway patrolman, died last August along with his wife Cleofe, 45, and daughter, Mahala, 13, and Mrs Saylor’s brother Chris Lastrella.

In a 911 emergency call made from the car just before the crash, Mr Lastrella is heard saying: “We’re in a Lexus. . . and we’re going north on 125 and our accelerator is stuck. . . we’re in trouble. . . there’s no brakes. . . we’re approaching the intersection. . . hold on. . . hold on and pray. . . pray.” ...

Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak says his Toyota Prius accelerates on its own

February 3, 2010 - Apple Inc. co-founder Steve "Woz" Wozniak has seen his share of software glitches in the gadgets he has created and in those he collects.

But Wozniak said he was surprised several months ago when his 2010 Toyota Prius started accelerating on its own -- to as much as 97 mph -- when he used cruise control to increase the vehicle's speed. He said he had to tap the brakes to stop the car from accelerating...

When Penis Implants Go Wrong

In a September 17, 2009 article titled “Say Goodbye To My Little Friend” the Miami New Times revealed a story of penile implants gone wrong. Yes, really, doctors can do that.

Married Miami resident, Enrique Millas, 62, was suffering from erectile dysfunction, codeword: impotence and sought the services of urologist, Paul E. Perito. Men, mark that name down and run from said doctor like the plague.

He performed surgery on Millas, implanting a silicone like wand in his penis, which according to the doctor would remain, “In an erect state at all times.” Is that safe?

The surgery involves “stitches” “brusing” and “swelling.” It also demands the patient’s penis be, “Kept against their abdomen for three days with the supplied scrotal support.”

However, Millas’ penis turned “gangrenous” (translation: discolored, bloodless and infected) and had to be excised (translation: they chopped it off). That poor man.

However, he might not be poor for long, as he has sued the surgeon for malpractice. Due to losing his penis after the risky surgery, complicated by his diabetes, Millas can never have sex again and urinates sitting down.

It’s hard to judge this man for wanting the surgery, as comical as the concept of the procedure sounds, because how is he any different from women who get implants to impress men.

Most people want to be attractive and considered whole, normal human beings. Most people want the best for themselves. When someone destroys apart of your body through negligence, it is a terrible thing to endure.

Side Bar: I do not recommend this surgery for my readers. However, I highly recommend it for the head of the FBI, Robert Mueller. He cheated on his wife anyway. Therefore, that ought to slow him down.

What, you think you’re the only one that knows information on people, Mr. Mueller and unlike you, I get my info legally without violating the Constitution and Patriot Act.
