He supposedly tried the emergency brake? Yeah, I’m going to pull that doing 70 mph on the highway in a FWD car.
I own two Priuses, a 2005 with 140k miles and a 2008 with 50K miles. These are good cars. I have not had the first problem with either of them. After hearing of this guy’s claimed acceleration problem, I took my 2008 model (same model and even color as this guy’s) and took it to 80 mph (it is NOT hard to do, amazingly) keeping the gas on, I moved my right hand about three inches and pushed the electronic transmission to the left and it went right into neutral and began slowing down.
IT AIN’T HARD TO DO.
