| 2010 | SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRIC | TOYOTA PRIUS 2010 - I HAVE EXPERIENCED IRREGULARITIES WITH MY BRAKES SINCE I PURCHASED THIS CAR ON DECEMBER 28, 2009. I ATTRIBUTED IT TO MY LACK OF EXPERIENCE DRIVING A CAR WITH ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. HOWEVER, I NOW BELIEVE THAT THESE PROBLEMS ARE RELATED TO THE CURRENT INVESTIGATION OF PRIUS BRAKES. TWO THINGS HAPPEN: (1) SEVERAL TIMES WHEN I PLACE MY FOOT ON BRAKE TOO HARD, THE CAR PROPELS FORWARD, (2) UNDER SLICK CONDITIONS AND I PRESS THE BRAKES, THE BRAKES TAKE TOO LONG TO RESPOND AND THE CAR CONTINUES TO MOVE. *TR |
| 2003 | STEERING | ERRATIC BEHAVIOR OF ELECTRIC POWER STEERING. UNCONTROLLABLE SHAKING OF STEERING WHEEL. AN UN SAFE CONDITION. THERE HAS TO BE A LOT THESE PROBLEMS BECAUSE REPLACEMENT STEERING RACKS ARE ON BACK ORDER AND NO PREDICTION OF WHEN THEY WILL AVAILABLE. WITH NO PARTS AVAILABLE AND CAR UN SAFE THEN CAR IS USELESS. *TR |
