NHTSA complaint: 2010 TOYOTA PRIUS — SERVICE BRAKES
TRAVELING ON PARKWAY WHEN WE WERE APPROACHING A VEHICLE GOING SOUTH DOWN AT APPROXIMATELY 55 WE WERE TRAVELING 72 WITH CRUISE CONTROL ENGAGED, I TAPPED THE BRAKES TO TRY AND SLOW AND NOTHING HAPPENED I THEN HELD THE BRAKE PEDAL DOWN FOR MORE THAN 15 SECONDS WITH NO SUCCESS, TRIED TO DISENGAGE THE CRUISE BY PULLING BACK ON THE HANDLE ON THE STEERING WHEEL AND STILL IT WOULD NOT DISENGAGE, WE STRUCK THE TRUCK AT 72 MPH ONLY BECAUSE WE HAD NO WHERE ELSE TO GO AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT DISENGAGE CRUISE. THE CRUISE CONTROL LIGHT WAS STILL ILLUMINATED AFTER THE VEHICLE CAME TO REST AFTER IMPACT AND THE VEHICLE BRAKES STILL DID NOT APPEAR TO FUNCTION, THIS VEHICLE WAS A TOYOTA LEASE AND WAS TOLD MULTIPLE TIMES BY TOYOTA THAT THE ISSUES WAS RECALLED BY TOYOTA AND THAT THIS VEHICLE HAD THE RECALL PERFORMED. *TR
