Prius problems in Japan.

It is because the mentality of the people here, if you complain and you will be compensated. This is why there are lawsuits against Toyota because lost of value of the Prius due to the recalls.
Japanese people will not do that, they are taught not to do that with tolerance and respect.

 

There are no Prius problems as such here either. Yeah we experienced the brake 'issue' but no run aways, or other Toyota problems you appear to be experiencing in the US.

Was talking to the boss of anothers manufacturers motor dealer the other day when he was in my car. He thinks the Toyota problem is all a load of hogwash and probably instigated by the US government as the problems have mostly occured in the US etc.

So even the competition outside of the US think that Toyota is getting a good kicking because they've got too big for their boots and the US government doesn't like a non US company being number one.
