Toyota had to recall close to 270 000 cars due to faulty software that controls the brakes on the Prius.  It is still unknown which of the other Toyota models are being recalled in South Africa due to faulty accelerator pedals.  Globally it is said to be in the millions of recalls for Toyota for the accelerator pedal problem.

This must be hard for the die-hard Toyota fans.  Now even reliability isn't even the one thing they can rely on.
