Toyota New Zealand is issuing a recall for 1200 vehicles in New Zealand. It's due to stalling issues.

It follows the news on Friday out of the US that it is recalling 2.4 million hybrid-electric cars, mostly Prius models, around the world to fix an electronic defect that cause the vehicles to suddenly lose power that could "increase the risk of a crash."

The recall in the US includes various Prius models that were built from 2010 to 2014, the same cars that were recalled earlier and fixed with a software update that lawsuits allege was not effective in preventing power losses.

New Zealand owners are asked to contact 0800 TOYOTA (0800 869 682) for more information.

And have you given up and headed to an accident and emergency clinic instead? How long have you had to wait there to see someone? One hour? Four hours?

We'd be really interested to hear your experiences.
