Even then it may not impact sales that much based on brand loyalty and excitement over the cars. Look at the accelerator issue with Toyota. People still buy a Camry and don't think twice about it even though the Toyota is still publicly dealing with the accelerator issues and are still being sued.
I also don't understand why you cannot drive your car. I assume you have taken it to Toyota and they say there is nothing wrong and you have that in writing? So the next logical step is to drive the car until the engine seizes and then start going down the lemon law path and get a car you don't worry about every hour of the day.

That worked out so well for us...
The reality is that I've had more than just a few people PM me saying that they've had the issue, but are unwilling to publicly post about it for fear that they will have their warranty claims denied; many already have had their cars turned away.
