What ever happened to driver training?? I would guess if you "threw" your Pajero into a turn that hard, and lifted your foot, a similar result may occur?
I am not a Toyota supporter, but I think everyone is getting on the "bash" Toyota band wagon.
Sorry if people dont agree, but its about time people took responsability for their own actions.

I don't agree the fault is 100% with the driver if one of these things rolls over in something like an emergency lane change.
Most drivers have very limited skills and these cars are marketed as very safe & secure places for your family to be.
I've always though the Prado's front suspension sucked and that they handled like a wet sponge - I would be reluctant to put my wife & kids in one on the twisty roads around where we live.
IMHO this is another case of Toyota not living up to their own hype more than Toyota bashing.Comment

Toyota reprogramed the (VSC stability control) and solved the problem, could be the test was done in very uncommon situation but at the end the VSC was not working as good as it should.
The test: speed: 100 Km/h
driver takes off foot from gas
driver makes a 90 degree turn, no action with his feet.

Hear you Ian But I have to agree with David..
The point was made that this is a normal test they carry out in their Mag, they stated of all 4WDs, (SUVs), that this was the only failure.. Toyota to their credit at least pulled from sale & after own testing agreed & recalled...
And yes a few are jumping on the Bash Toyota band wagon...
3 of my good mates are going to hear all about it... as the old saying goes Toy guys dish it out they've got to be able to cop a bit back...

Hey, at least the driver error was mostly recoverable.
We were at the V8s today and saw this:
Just incredible no-one died. We had a poster signed by the driver about an hour before he went off - glad he walked away.
