There’s probably no need to get into the problems that Toyota has been having lately with a PR nightmare that’s led to the recall of 133,000 Toyota Prius hybrids last month. The Toyota Prius brakes had been shown to cause a momentary loss in breaking power.

What most people don’t know is that 11% of the claims that led to the brake recall also mentioned that the 2010 Toyota Prius cruise control was faulty. Prius drivers complained that the cruise control wouldn’t always shut off after hitting the brake pedal like it should.

Toyota is taking a proactive approach to these latest complaints and is currently looking into them. Their initial assessment, however, is that most of the Prius cruise control complaints were caused by driver confusion over the Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, a feature that is only available in the top-rung Prius V trim of the 2010 Prius. Toyota’s explanation may account for some of the complaints but with the Prius V trim only accounting for 8% of the vehicles in the Toyota recall, things don’t quite add up completely.

There’s no end in sight for the troubles plaguing Toyota these days. Days after 8 Toyota models were recalled, they are now being made aware of issues with the Prius. The Prius is Toyota’s third best-selling model in the United States. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that it has received more than 100 complaints in the United States of poor brake performance with the 2010 Prius. There have also been reports of complaints in Japan. Two of those complaints involved crashes that resulted in injuries.

The Prius is not yet part of the recalls that extend to Europe and China and cover 4.5 million vehicles.
