NHTSA complaint: 2008 TOYOTA PRIUS — ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
2008 TOYOTA PRIUS. ON JAN 29, 2010, I WAS SLOWLY PULLING INTO A PARKING STALL WHEN THE ACCELERATOR ENGAGED AND THE CAR SURGED FORWARD. I APPLIED THE BRAKES AND NOTHING HAPPENED. I LET OFF THE BRAKES AND SLAMMED THEM ON HARDER AND THE CAR WOULD NOT STOP. MY CAR HIT THE SIDE OF A AM/PM ARCO STATION BUILDING. I TURNED IT INTO MY INSURANCE AND PAID THE $500 DEDUCTIBLE. MY CAR WAS TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG AT THAT TIME. THE CAR HAS NOT SURGED SINCE. *TR
