Toyota Installs Ejection Seat (April Fool's Issue)


TORRANCE, Cali - In light of the Toyota recalls across the nation, Toyota announced they would be installing ejection seat in their vehicles.

Back in 2009 recalls on more then 2 million of Toyota vehicles took place due to floor mats coming unsecured and causing the gas pedal to stick.

President of Toyota Akio Toyoda said, “I assure our customers Toyota is moving to fix problems that led to a recall and to regain the trust of consumers, this is why I have decided to install ejection seats into our vehicles.”

After the recall Toyota held a meeting with hundreds of Toyota dealerships around the world. Here they tried to solve the problem of not having their vehicles stop properly.

“I was unsure how we could fix this problem at first and then it hit me like one of our cars flying out of control. Ejection seats!” said Cody Lusk, president of the American International Automobile Dealers Association.

After getting the approval from the board members Toyota was full speed ahead on designing the perfect ejection seat.

Only after few months of testing these seats Toyota decided to release the Driver Interion Exsit 9000 (also know as D.I.E) into their 2010 cars. Over 2 million seats where installed.

Taylor White, 23, a 2010 Toyota Corolla owner said, “I am so glad Toyota fixed the problem with their cars running out of control. I’ve only had to use my ejection seat three times.”

Toyoda was afraid of losing out on there millions of faithful customers after the recall, but he felt that this was the best line of action.

“When we announced to customers we were installing ejection seats in our cars people were thrilled,” said Toyoda.

At Toyota dealership around the states they had a grand re-opening introducing the ejection seats.

Customers came far and wide to test out the ejection seats and have free refreshments.

Confident with their decision Toyota has sold over 89 thousand cars and refurbished over 1.7 million cars with the seat.
The Driver Interion Exsit 9000, brought to customer from the same makers of the Toyota gas pedal, has a new sleek look with 4 high-powered engines, a parachute and extra cushioning for those rough landings.

D.I.E. comes in six colors: black, white, red, blue, hot pink and lime green.

Once a Toyota vehicle is speeding out of control just simply push the ejection button.

Toyota is still working out the kinks with the ejection seats including: the seat becoming stuck, the roof of the car not popping off when ejected and having the seat eject when it is not supposed too.
