| Vehicle Speed Control problems |
* I was pulling into a parking space at a slow speed. When I applied the brake the car accelerated causing the car to scrape the car next to the space. The car then stopped. * the acceleration was out of my control and the brakes did not stop it. Fortunately there was no person in front of me. * the tow truck operator who came to get the car experienced the same issue when pulling into the bay at the dealer. I do not know about the manufacturer during their inspection as they did not provide me with that information. * Toyota had an inspection performed and that report was submitted to Toyota on August 20. We just received notification from Toyota that they found no problem with the car. * no warning lights noted.
I was turning to exit a freeway and all of a sudden my car came to a stop (about 55mph to 0) in a matter of seconds with no warning. It then took a few seconds before I was able to get the gas to work again. No cars were around me luckily.
Bought a new 2019 Prius from grossinger Toyota on 9/13, went back to the dealer on 9/16 to get my old city sticker from my old car (this new car only had 61 miles), the new car broke while I was there. The entire dashboard went off (blinders cannot be turn on. No indication of speed, no indication of vehicle level, etc). Anything that's on the dashboard went blank. I turned on and off the new card a few time, but the result was the same. Toyota technician couldn't figure out what went wrong themselves. When that happened, I was just about ready to leave the dealer, then I quickly went back to show the grossinger dealer.
