The attorneys for the plaintiffs and Toyota listed 228 federal cases and 99 related cases in state courts. A judicial panel consolidated the federal cases before Selna last month.

In a report filed Friday with U.S. District Judge James Selna, in Orange County, California, near Los Angeles and close to Toyota's U.S. headquarters, it became clear that the Japanese auto maker is in deep trouble from innumerable law suits.

According to media reports, The lawsuits began appearing last fall as Toyota initiated the first of a series of recalls eventually involving about 8 million vehicles _ including about 6 million in the U.S. _ over acceleration problems in several models and brake issues with the popular Prius hybrid. Toyota said the acceleration problems were caused by faulty floor mats and sticky accelerator pedals. Some plaintiffs also claim that there is a defect with Toyota's electronic throttle control system, but Toyota denies that.
