According to a recent blog post on CNN/Money, the number of Toyota complaints have skyrocketed as the awareness of the recall permeates traditional and online media.

According to the CNN report:

NHTSA said that it has received nine new complaints alleging fatal crashes caused by sudden acceleration in Toyota cars since Jan. 27. The accidents occurred between 2005 and 2010 and involved 13 fatalities and 10 injuries, according to NHTSA.

In the prior 10 years, between 2000 and 2009, the agency said it received a total of 17 complaints involving 21 deaths. That’s a total of 34 Toyota complaints alleging fatalities since 2000, according to the NHTSA.

An Increase In Calls Not Unusual

The increase in calls is not unusual as consumers who have any “issues” with Toyota cars may be piling on to see if their woes have a related problem to the recalls already announced.  Consumers are trying to understand how to best communicate their personal issues with Toyota and many are calling the NHTSA to register a compliant.

If you have experienced a problem with your Toyota car or truck that is not included in the recall, take a moment to share that with our community.

According to the same CNN/Money article,  Toyota has recalled more than 8 million vehicles since November, including 8,000 Tacoma trucks and over 400,000 of the popular Prius hybrids, for problems ranging from brakes and acceleration issues to faulty manufacturing in other areas.
