Toyota covered up a problem, it cost them 1.2 billion in fines. Obviously there had to be more than one incident.
I'm thinking because you own a Toyota that they have to be the best , no way they could actually be at fault.
In my professional opinion of being an automotive mechanic for over 20 years they all break. I don't really care which brand you buy, they all have service centers.

I am in no way stating that Toyota doesn't make mistakes, but after owning two Toyota vehicles for over 300,000 km, I have had to have one battery replaced after 10 years, and the front brakes replaced in one vehicle after 11 years. There were zero parts failures on either vehicle. I have also owned one Hyundai vehicle that went almost 100,000km, with no failures. Every single one of my four new GM pickups had at least two failures, and my two Fords had at least five or six failures each, and not one of those vehicles had 100,000km on them, when I sold them. And that is why I chose to go with another Toyota just recently .
