Toyota says Prius had brake design problems
 

wat the fuck is wrong with toyota lately

Apple Daily with re-enactments!

holy , got burned in the car to death ???

The entire car is a design problem.

Wow, Toyota is really screwing up big-time.

The only 'bug-free' Toyota to buy now is the Yaris (for now)

^ still assembled in the land of the rising sun

Yaris' had a recall already regarding a faulty component in the seat belt assembly: http://www.canada.com/vancouversun/n...0-5e24b1a45ea4.

oh nvm then.. toyota is failing 100%, especially with all this publicity

US is going to have a full scale investigation on this. This news couldn't have came at a better time for the American Car industry

And that's supposed to mean what?

ALL of these problems are Toyota's fault. 100% absolutely. Doesn't matter where parts are made when Toyota set the design specs and told them how to build it (cheaper materials in their throttle pedals, for example) in the first place. Plus Toyota engineers (as with all companies) would get samples of parts to ensure quality control and to make sure parts were meeting their specifications.

time to put you stocks on Korean car companies.

Kia is up like 32% in sales LAWLZ.

Even Lexus has those electrical problems. The video shows a Lexus ES350 will acclerate WOT even though you're not stepping on the gas paddel. Glad im not driving a toyota nor a lexus,pew~~~

well. atleast you can appreciate the interior fit and finish when ur plowing into the side of a building in ur brand new, far better than american, japanese automobile.

ummm...im wondering do LF-A or IS-F have the same problem? um.....if a 400-600hp beast has a accelerator/brake problem, the result will not just involve one car...maybe a chain reaction...

you got fire on ur ass toyota, work harder! :( :thumbsup:

toyotas these days arent built like they were 20 yrs ago..

FUk i hate prius' with a passion. they should recall everysingle one and destroy the lineup.

About that lexus that had it's accelerator stuck. I can think of so many things for them to do that would save their ass in the last critical moments rather than call 911. Pull ebrake, throw car into neutral, shut off engine but keep the key in on so you still have steering, hell throw it in park and blow the gearbox.

If any car has a sticky accelerator it's the BMW X5 if you know what I'm saying.

agreed, the EMERGENCY brake is there for a reason

i think they could not have went to park or reverse, or shut off the engine cause their brake system was on.

Anyways, sad story, lets just hope toyota can get it back together and fix all their problems

they coulda gone into neutral though. And i'm sure there's an ebrake in the car as well. Hell even slowly grind the car into the median to stop it.

lol.. well that could be said to any cars with 300+ hp.

I don't think you know what I'm talking about,

here:

OHHH I GET IT NOW!!!

hahahaha.. I thought you were trying to say the x5 is a fun car to drive and how ppl can't take their feet off the gas pedal.
