Toyota electrical problems

Owners have filed 9,649 complaints with NHTSA about the electrical system on Toyota vehicles — 7% of everything reported about the brand, across 73 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the Toyota Prius, worst in 2007.

These are raw counts. A model that sold in millions appears near the top for that reason alone — the grade never compares one model with another.
