NHTSA complaint: 2010 TOYOTA PRIUS — VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
My car accelerated significantly on its own while I was pulling into a parking stall in a private parking lot. It caused my vehicle to jump a curb and accelerate up a dirt divider and push over a bush that was planted in the dirt divider. Depressing my brakes did not Decelerate the car, so I pressed the Park button to eventually stop the vehicle. Iâm not sure what speed it was traveling when it accelerated, but I could smell burning rubber at the end of the incident. Iâm not sure when the smell first occurred.
