I think people forget that the success of Japanese manufacturing is
due to W. Edwards Deming influence in making the Japanese
statistically account for
any problem with things they make and strive towards perfection. One
would think that any issues with american built toyota would be
flagged and fixed immediately.
Ignoring it on purpose is of course possible.
In fact a friend of mine who had purchased a new Toyota minivan and
had is wife put 50K miles on it in one year actually had the dealer
call him up
and they swapped the transmission out because he was one of the folks
in north america who put on the highest milage in a year on a new
type of transmission
and they were eager to understand how it had performed.

Having worked for Toyota for 13 years I can say that I cannot

technical problems with US made cars. Not the Toyotas anyway.
Some of the component suppliers left a bit to be desired, but the fit
and finish was fine.My experience ended in 1995 so it may be different
now but I know that Toyota is VERY pleased with their Canadian
workforce
as we've just won another plant over Alabam or some other southern
state.
