Adaptive Equipment problems of the 2006 Toyota Prius

Two problems related to adaptive equipment have been reported for the 2006 Toyota Prius. The most recently reported issues are listed below.

1 Adaptive Equipment problem

Failure Date: 10/15/2009

I received notification from Toyota some months ago of a floormat/accelerator problem indicating they would contact me when a solution was available. It has now been months with no word. Recently, I contacted them only to get a response concerning a 2010 Prius braking problem. My vehicle is a 2006 Prius.

2 Adaptive Equipment problem

Failure Date: 06/01/2008

While driving my Prius I have experienced brief moments of unexplained acceleration. It was startling when it happened but was also over quickly. I believe it has happened twice. Once was about one week after I had taken the car in for maintenance. I can remember thinking I might have to take the car in again. It felt like the acceleration when using cruise control, however, I don't and wasn't using cruise control. I have only the floor mats that came with the vehicle and do not believe this was caused by the floor mat.
