What EDN reports aren't really - by and large - design issues. They are more process issues: lack of certification (a big deal for embedded systems); lack of substantial code review (MISRA violations); lack of HW design testing (tin whiskers); inadequate analysis of memory usage. Process issues can be solved, given motivated management and diligent engineers. Whether the effort to solve them was done and how that effort goes becomes a cultural thing, and I can't speak to the Toyota SW engineering culture(s?).
