As most know by now, Toyota has recalled millions of vehicles and even halted the sale of some models of autos. The  Toyota Prius model has been subject to recall recently as well due to problems with the braking system. The recalls and lawsuits started back in 2009 when an acceleration problem resulted in the high-speed crash of a 2009 Lexus ES350 near San Diego.

A California Highway Patrol officer and three members of his family were killed in the accident. Since then there have been numerous other claims of acceleration problems with Toyota vehicles.

Most of the lawsuits accuse Toyota of knowingly selling thousands of potentially defective autos over the last several years in California. Toyota has since recalled upwards of 8.5 million vehicles since last November because of problems ranging from defective floor mats that impede the motion of the gas pedal, gas pedals that stick and brake failure.
