Problems with 2009 Toyota Prius VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL

My prius now has all those dash lights on: !, abs, vcs. i was driving yesterday, on a city street and the lights came on, and the brakes suddenly did not work-hard to push. for months, when i would drive over rough terrain, i had the loss of braking, accelerating, and the slick road icon would illuminate. the is exactly the same abs module problem affecting 2010 prius, ands needs to be recalled and repairs covered.if i didn't stay so far behind other vehicles, i would have rear-ended someone.

Driver went to park and the brakes did not respond! in fact the vehicle went from 2-5mph to approx 30+ & kept picking up speed and went into storefront. driver was able to wrestle vehicle into reverse and it went equally fast back into a parked car where it finally came to a stop. hugely frightening and potentially lethal.

Driver intentionally accelerated to avoid collision, then prius unintentionally accelerated after impact with the other vehicle, crossing the median and crossing the opposite direction street lanes then up on to the sidewalk and hit the concrete bridge rail and finally stopped. have contacted toyota, they want up to a month to pull the crash data from the car. i asked if they could pull the data in a week, they said up to 30 days the car will have to sit at the dealership. a month is unreasonable to go without a car. they refused to send the investigator to pull the data at the body shop, said it must be done at the dealership. i gave them the name & address of the body shop. *tr

My wife and i were driving down a residential street approaching a stop sign. there were two cars stopped at the sign. several hundred feet from the stop, i took my foot off the accelerator. the car did not slow down. i stepped on the brake. the car did not slow down. i stood on the brake as hard as i could. the car did not slow down. i said to my understandably alarmed wife, we're not stopping. and we didn't until we smashed into the back of a tahoe stopped at the stop sign, doing major damage to the prius that rendered it undriveable and perhaps totaled. my wife has a very sore back that i am hoping starts to feel better today or we will have to schedule a doctor's appointment. *tr

A year ago, upon taking off from a stop my car began to stall. i drive two blocks it continues to putt along and stall, then after less than a mile it starts to run as normal. i take my car in to be told it is out of gas, which it did not indicate low fuel, it had over a quarter of a tank. i insist they continue to check my car over days of them driving it, after a week they experience something similar and replace my junction box. since then i've replace the water pump, taken my car in for a steering recall. also, there are instances where my car upon take off stalls, but nothing severe, just something you feel when accelerating. recently, 6/5/14, i experienced the same issue, but this time i immediately put gas into my car even though my indicator panel shows i have fuel. only this time i start my car and the air conditioner is not working and it continues to stall, after turning my car on and off several times and driving a few blocks the ac cuts on and my car begins to run fine. i have been told ...

I pulled my toyota prius into my driveway, stepped on the brake, opened the garage door and waited for my husband to get out of the car. he opened the passenger side door and started to move his foot out the door but before he even got one foot out, the car surged ahead and ran into the garage, pretty much destroying all the storage units on the right side of the garage. my husband thinks the car was going between 35 and 40 mph. since my accident there have been two other incidents of toyotas accelerating independently in palo alto. one ran into a house on park avenue, destroying the front wall and front door of the house. a few days later, a toyota ran over a curb, across a lawn and into a corner of a house on north california ave. both of these incidents were reported to the police unfortunately, i cannot get the name and contact of the other two drivers because my name is not on the police reports. my questions are these: is there any legal way to get the information about ...
