Toyota, the world's largest automaker, faces at least 30 lawsuits
filed on behalf of customers in the U.S. and Canada seeking a range of
damages from loss of cars' value to a return of profits.
The class actions, in U.S. state and federal courts and Canadian
provinces, demand compensation for flaws including those disclosed in
Toyota's recalls over sudden acceleration of its vehicles. More than

The number of cases has grown daily in the past week. The company also
faces at least 10 lawsuits brought by individuals claiming deaths or
injuries caused by uncontrollable acceleration of vehicles.
