The NHTSA opened a formal investigation of the 2010 Toyota Prius's alleged braking issues on Thursday. The inquiry comes on the heels of two huge Toyota recalls involving problematic floor mats in November and now sticky accelerator pedals.

Here's the curious thing, though. The 2010 Toyota Prius, which hasn't been recalled, has generated far more driver complaints to NHTSA than any of the 2010 recalled Toyotas. In fact, it has twice as many as the 2010 models of all the recalled Toyotas put together.

Its 171 complaints (124 explicitly regarding braking problems) for the 2010 model are five times the recalled 2010 Toyotas that generated the most complaints, the Corolla (33), according to NHTSA records. The recalled 2010 Camry garnered 21 complaints; the recalled Matrix, two.
