    Prius used to be, I guess they have done the fix.
    If you have one, better check to see if the recall includes yours.

    The big recall that came out didn't affect the 2010 line, unless this is something else. Toyota is supposed to be sending out letters to the people who own vehicles that are affected.

    Original recall regarding floor mats included 2010 and older Prius
    The sticky accelerator did not include the Prius line
    The new brake issues involves 2010 Prius

    Here's more:
    Disputed Toyota documents could shed light on safety accusations

    An arbitrator is asked to unseal the documents in a federal case in which a former company lawyer claims the automaker concealed evidence.

    Wow, that's bad if he can prove it.

    2010 Prius brakes better then a 2004 Focus with rebuilt brakes. Ford has a funky smell decelerating from 100.

    You know, it might have been. The smell seemed to follow me a little ways into the house.

    Next up....How about a Corolla steering problem.

    The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has collected more than 80 complaints about steering problems in 2009 and 2010 Toyota Corollas.
    I see the owners of Government Motors are at it again...

    Still it's funny how that's been glossed over by the news outlets. I never saw it in print. I heard a reporter mention it as one sentence after a 5 min report on how Toyota was killing thousands of babies in satanic rituals.

    Faulty is a BSOD. This is lag under certain condition, which in 5,000 miles hasn't come up for me, and from what I've heard my driving style precludes it from affecting me.
