The car company is sinking fast.
Toyota has just announced another recall for their Prius and other hybrid model cars worldwide. Now, the company is receiving complaints about the brakes in these vehicles, just adding to the list of embarrassing safety lapses found in their latest models.
Over 437,000 Prius and other hybrid vehicles are being recalled to investigate the recent problem, making the grand total of cars sent back to the Toyota Motor Corp. 8.5 million, starting with the cars sent back for malfunctioning floor mats to this newest issue.
Complaints started coming in to the company that the brakes on the 2010 Prius had a delay when pressed in cold weather conditions and some bumpy roads. Though the delay isn’t considered a brake failure, the company is still recalling the vehicles to adjust the brakes with new software. The company tries to smooth over the issue by saying it shouldn’t take longer than 40 minutes for the antilock brakes to be updated.
Jeez, not the best way to start off the year, huh?
Makes us wonder if the guys over at Toyota are asking themselves, “What else could go wrong?”
At this point, just about anything!
