The manufacture that is regularly voted as giving the best after sale service and building reliable cars are having tough time of it and it all seems to happening at once. First we had the accelerator pedal problem that is affecting thousands of cars in the UK and millions worldwide. It is believed that these sticking pedals could be dangerous in the wrong situation, but no issues have been reported from UK motorists. Toyota has felt they need to repair and potential issues, just in case which has affected 2 other non Toyota models build in the same factory.

If this was not enough, it is believed there are now issues with the Toyota Prius which affects 8500 cars sold in the UK and is believed to issues with an inconsistent brake pedal. The Toyota Prius is a popular lease car, due to being a hybrid and the costs associated with running this particular model.
