1 Car Throttle Stuck problem

Failure Date: 07/31/2009

In addition to the traction control, abs, gas pedal/floor mat problems with the Toyota Prius there is also a safety issue with the power button. In an emergency situation, like the door coming open, throttle getting stuck, etc. You can't power off the vehicle quickly. You must hold the power button for some amount of time before the car will shut off. Unlike the Toyota camry example where they suggested turning off the ignition, you can't do that on the Prius. You also can't remove the key/fob to turn the vehicle off or power it off. There is also an extreme under steer problem with the vehicle which is a safety concern. In wet conditions it is exacerbated. It can be observed on clover leaf overpasses and general cornering.
