NHTSA complaint: 2010 TOYOTA PRIUS — SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRIC
WE PURCHASED A 2010 PRIUS IN MAY 2010. MY WIFE DROVE THE CAR OUT OF A SHOPPING MALL DRIVEWAY INTO THE LEFT HAND TURN OF THE ROAD AND PULLED UP BEHIND A TRUCK. SHE WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 5-10 MPH ON A NORMAL ROAD, NO POT HOLES OR WET CONDITIONS. SHE HAD HER FOOT RAMMED TO THE FLOOR BUT NO BRAKES! SHE WENT INTO THE BACK OF THE TRUCK, CAUSING EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO THE FRONT OF THE CAR AND WINDSCREEN. SHE HAD TWO CHILDREN IN THE BACK WITH HER. SEEMS LIKE THEY HAVE NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM! WE WERE TOLD BY DEALERSHIP THAT THERE WERE NO PROBLEMS AND THAT EVERY CAR ON THE LOT HAD BEEN FIXED! NOT REPAIRED YET. NOT SURE I WANT IT BACK. *TR
