Noobtastic14 Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 (edited) My choice is simple and toyota made it for me. I will stick with honda, nissan or acura for my future vehicle purchases. I don't care to be bothered with the " I better shift into neutral, brake with both feet, while pulling the Emergency Brake (otherwise I will be told I am stupid) while going 90mph in traffic, in order to save my life" Syndrome. Hope that was good for a LOL guys..........haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa ^^^^ would you have said that six months ago? who is to say that your Acuras and Hondas wont have similar problems six months from now? They're good cars- some have kinks and Toyota has offered to fix them. If somebody handed me a Prius I wouldn't give it back! I'd just sell it and pocket some change for a truck haha -Drew Edited March 11, 2010 by Noobtastic14 Quote I am a United States Military Arts and Crafts Professional.

sayhuh? Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 well in a run away situation yea its definitely preventable....and probably simple. BUT what happens when you are in traffic? In traffic u speed up and need to stop right away....and if you guys are telling me that in a single instant u can realize the pedal is stuck, then throw it in neutral and then stop the car before rear ending the guy in front then u guys are some amazing drivers. Well, thats different than accelerating to 100+ MPH. If you can get going that fast in traffic (especially in a prius) than there must not be much traffic.

somerandomguy Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 I know right.. we were jus talking about this a little bit in school. I would think that putting it in neutral only would eventually blow up your engine? All you have to do is turn it off and then turn the key to the on position, you won't have power steering obviously but it won't be THAT hard to steer..

Jimmydb Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 In the non-winter months I drive a 1999 Solara which is not under recall, but if it was, I would simply wire a killswitch directly to the battery - problem solv-..er..-avoided!

If you can get going that fast in traffic (especially in a prius) than there must not be much traffic. i was under the impression that it accelerates randomly. even at lower speeds. my point is if it just randomly over accelerated when u are planning to stop you're in some shit. try explaining that to insurance lol Quote DAT 4125------>RE XXX comps active Eclipse cd7000 I serve drunks for a living Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
