Toyota’s Newest Problem: Faulty Prius Brakes
At Reiff and Bily in Philadelphia, we have received many telephone calls in the last several days concerning Toyota’s latest recall involving faulty brakes in its best selling Prius. As experienced automotive product liability and catastrophic injury lawyers, we are greatly concerned about this latest problem because properly functioning brakes are perhaps the most important safety feature on any car. In the U.S. alone, Toyota has recalled over 40,000 new Prius and Lexus automobiles manufactured after April 2009, due to problems with the cars’ braking systems. Toyota has announced that there is a problem with their computerized braking system in that there is a delayed reaction from the time the brake pedal is applied until the brakes actually take hold. This problem has the potential to cause severe injuries and even death to the occupants of these brand new vehicles touted to be the most technologically advanced vehicles on the market today.
As experienced product liability attorneys with over 30 years of experience representing catastrophically injured consumers, we take no joy in the troubles that have befallen Toyota, a company that prided itself as a manufacturer of the highest quality vehicles available. Nevertheless, we recognize that this latest problem constitutes a major threat to the health and safety of our clients. If you purchased a Prius or Lexus after April 2009, you should immediately contact your dealer for details on getting this problem fixed.
If you have been unfortunate enough to have been involved in an accident with either of these cars and have been injured, the experienced lawyers of Reiff and Bily can help. The experienced product liability lawyers at the Reiff Law Group work with an independent team of industry experts and investigators and timely and thoroughly conduct investigations into the causes of serious motor vehicle accidents. It is important that Toyota and other automobile manufacturers, who put profits before safety, be held responsible for damages, injury, or wrongful death in the accidents that result from putting unsafe vehicles on the road.
The experienced Philadelphia product liability lawyers at Reiff and Bily offer free, no obligation consultations and we gladly open our doors and telephones to answer your questions and address your concerns should you or your loved ones suffer serious injuries as a result of flawed or defective vehicles.
