I think a lot of this stuff is politically motivated against Toyota. There seems to be a movement in the media against hybrids. There is also a desire to jump start the American car industry--which is in dire straits.
Why all these problems after years and years of Toyota reliability? Very suspicious. And why just in the U.S.? Consumer Reports has reliability reports from thousands of Toyota and Prius drivers for many years. Never hint of these problems.
If the media wanted to report every unexplained car problem for every model every day, there wouldn't be enough time or space to report them. It seems that somebody has decided to target Toyota. Honda may be next.
