This is really a stretch of bad news for Toyota. Like I’ve said before, bigger (or biggest) isn’t necessarily better. You know it’s bad when Chrysler is kicking you when you’re down.
As Toyota has gained market share, they’ve also been letting things slip at the periphery. In recent memory, there were the problems with the full-size Tundra at launch, threatened legal action over roof-crush strength, the fiery floor mats of death, and now the Prius’ braking problem, plus others that you’ve likely never seen reported.
