Toyota headlight problems

Owners have filed 5,529 complaints with NHTSA about the lighting on Toyota vehicles — 4% of everything reported about the brand, across 55 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.
