Japanese authorities have ordered Toyota to investigate complaints about sluggish brakes on some models of the Prius, which went on sale in Japan and the United States in May, 2009, adding to the companies' woes following massive recalls and plant shutdowns related to a sticky accelerator in a number of its North American models.

ALL of these problems are Toyota's fault. 100% absolutely. Doesn't matter where parts are made when Toyota set the design specs and told them how to build it (cheaper materials in their throttle pedals, for example) in the first place. Plus Toyota engineers (as with all companies) would get samples of parts to ensure quality control and to make sure parts were meeting their specifications.
Even Lexus has those electrical problems. The video shows a Lexus ES350 will acclerate WOT even though you're not stepping on the gas paddel. Glad im not driving a toyota nor a lexus,pew~~~
well. atleast you can appreciate the interior fit and finish when ur plowing into the side of a building in ur brand new, far better than american, japanese automobile.
ummm...im wondering do LF-A or IS-F have the same problem? um.....if a 400-600hp beast has a accelerator/brake problem, the result will not just involve one car...maybe a chain reaction...
FUk i hate prius' with a passion. they should recall everysingle one and destroy the lineup.
About that lexus that had it's accelerator stuck. I can think of so many things for them to do that would save their ass in the last critical moments rather than call 911. Pull ebrake, throw car into neutral, shut off engine but keep the key in on so you still have steering, hell throw it in park and blow the gearbox.
