"Complaints about auto safety issues typically rise sharply after a recall gains widespread attention, as NHTSA typically only gets 10% of the complaints generated by any given problem. Before the recalls, the agency had received some 2,000 complaints of sudden acceleration. Since Jan. 22, the agency has received another 743 complaints about sudden acceleration and 866 complaints about brakes in the 2010 Prius."

Suddenly the number is 9. Whats up. And this doesn't count the problems with the pickups.
