I am filing a complaint on a 2010 toyota prius. the complaint list is: the eject button on the manufactured stereo has melted. have contacted a toyota dealership regarding this and they took pictures of the melted button on the stereo, they sent the pictures to their dspm department, their response was, "appears to be damaged from an outside influence." we have disagreed with their conclusion and are afraid that it may lead to a possible fire in the car? we contacted toyota's 800 number (1-800-331-4331) and let them know that we disagreed with their conclusion, in which we were told they would get back to us in three business days, which they didn't. we contacted them to let them know we were concerned about the car stereo getting hot enough to melt a button, could this possibly start a fire in the car? they returned the call within 24 hours. they advised us once again that the damage was caused by an outside influence which they couldn't determine. we were told if we didn't like these results to get a lawyer. we are still concerned that this could or may cause a car fire? could someone please contact me at [xxx] and let us know what could have caused this to happen? information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).*tr

Driving 2010 toyota prius. seemed to have 'skipped' forward while gentle braking over bumpy road (small bumps). car had allegedly had electric repair to abs for the prius, however; will take to another dealer to confirm. i realize there are privacy concerns as an owner, and i'm not looking to put emphasis on myself, however; after supposed repairs to the brake system i am worried that the electronic update to the prius 2010 was not sufficient. the slight 'jolt' that i felt made me think initially i was bumped in the back of my car. thanks again for investigating this. *tr

2010 toyota prius: had the car for several months and really enjoy driving it...okay, i like the mileage, it's not a corvette though. have noticed on rough pavement and potholes that the brakes do seem to give a little. however on 19 feb 10 i hit the brakes to stop and it felt like the simply made a grinding sound and barely slowed at all...the harder i pressed the less the seemed to apply. these cars are dangerous and should be removed from the roads until toyota fixes this and proves the problem is corrected...i will not drive it until they do so... *tr

Vehicle parked on a downward slope. vehicle started and proceeded down slope...applied brake lightly, but vehicle brakes locked up, causing a severe jerking stop motion...released brake and applied again, and it continued again, hard braking, jerking vehicle to a stop. no change in brake pressure seemed to resolve this hard braking, locking up effect. only after driving for a few miles did the brakes return to normal. *cn

On occasion, the brakes on our 2010 toyota prius, purchased june 2009, momentarily do not stop the vehicle, and the vehicle appears to lunge forward. this has been reported to the toyota servicing dealer each time the vehicle has been brought in for service, and no solution has been offered. this problem continues to this day. *cn
