As everyone noted all
As everyone noted all manufacturers have recalls.
Toyota still has an overall record that is the envy of all other makers.
For me reliability is the key indicator and can be statistically tracked. Chrysler had/has a poor record in this regard. I have long admired some Chrysler products but had steered clear because of their poor reliability record. My Dad bought a Dodge Aspen in 1978 and it was profoundly unreliable. It was repeatedly in the shop for various mechanical ills and then for multiple recalls.
That experience kept me away until the second gen Caravan where I convinced myself they had cured the ills of the early models.
I was wrong.
It was the most grievously unreliable piece of garbage I have owned in my life. And this comes from someone who regularly bought $200-$800 cars while in High school to fix and trade.
The quality issue is often related if one can see a pattern. Toyota paint has been excellent for me so I attribute the unhappy Prius owner with a bad example.
