April 9, 2009 - J.D. Power and Associates reports Toyota earning five segment awards in the 2009 Vehicle Dependability Study for the Highlander, Prius, Sequoia, Solara, and Tundra, more than any other nameplate in 2009.

The study, which measure problems experienced by original owners of three-year-old vehicles, has been redesigned to include 202 different problem symptoms across all areas of the vehicle. Overall dependability is determined by the level of problems experienced per 100 vehicles (PP100), with a lower score reflecting higher quality. The study is used extensively by vehicle manufacturers worldwide to help design and build better vehicles?which typically retain higher resale values?and by consumers to help them make more-informed choices for both new and used vehicles.

"It is important for us to know what customers think of our products. Toyota has always focused on quality and reliability," said David Maus, General Manager of David Maus Toyota.

According to David Sargent, Vice President of automotive research at J.D. Power and Associates, "Automakers have improved long-term dependability by an average of 10 percet each year since the inception of the study, which is a testament to the industry's commitment to continuously improve and sustain quality, especially long term quality."

The 2009 Vehicle Dependability Study is based on responses from more than 46,000 original owners of 2006 model-year vehicles.
