IH8PunkRok Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 also toyotas have something called regenerative braking meaning when you brake the braking doesnt start for a short period of time and it uses the engine power to recharge batts. (actually that might just be on the prius) but it gives the illusion that you have no brakes just thought id throw that out there Quote -Matt2005 Dodge Magnum RTJVC KD-AVX1 2 PPI S580.2 Obsidian Audio ST1 Horn Tweeters PRV 8MB450s Audio Legion 3500.1D 2 RE MT 18s 360 ah LiFePO4 BatterySHCA 2/0 155.2 @ 29 hzKicker CVR 15's buildDD 3512e buildMini T-Line Build(6) 8s BuildNightshade 15s Wall BuildMagnum AB XFL 12s BuildNewest Magnum Build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Namosh Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 On our local news last night they had a man showing that on his Prius you have to hold the shifter in neutral for 2 seconds before it goes in...and I can't help but wonder...what kind of a douchebag would buy a Prius?

kingsuv Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 I think it is retarded that people do not have enough common sense to work through a panic situation like this. I think it's even worse that there needs to be youtube videos out to "teach" people what to do. I guess the days of thinking on your own are long gone. I personally have had 2 experiences with this happening. My 1st time was when I was 16. I was hotrodding around in my old Galaxie I was racing another person and when I smashed on the gas the accelerator cable broke off at the retainer spring at the carb leaving the 4bbl wide open on the old big block. Needless to say I picked up speed pretty quick. The Hurst shifter I had would not disengage the lockout with the pressure on the plates to disengage it out of drive. I quickly shut the engine off and was able to come to a stop. Anyone old enough to have an old car knows that those tanks are difficult to steer without power steering. however, everyone should also know, steering a car without PS isn't too hard when the car is moving This last time was about 6 months ago when I was with a buddy helping him bring home a new work truck. The floorboards of this thing was vinyl. So was the floormats. It was also nice of the dealer to detail everything before we picked it up. We jumped on the fwy and were cruising along pretty good until the mat (that was super slick) moved up along the super slick floor to pin the gas petal to the floor. The floor mat wedged itself under the pedal and the brake making them both useless. My fatass tried to reach the mat to dislodge it but couldn't reach. So I put the trans in neutral and turned the key off and coasted to the side of the road. I guess I just don't understand how people can not think quickly anymore when things go wrong.

I mean the first minute is ok but that thing just really starts digging deeper and deeper in your earhole till you cant stand it no more. Seems like it does it with relative ease....16 12's on 8 amps.........gotta love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notorious97200 Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 All kind of cars can have this problem. American car makers needed to do something to make money ! So, they found something to hurt the n°1 selling cars in your country, and with all the medias talking....It started like that! BTW Toyota calls back most of their new models in Europe : auris, yaris, prius,..etc saying it is just for checking. Now, they try to take advantage on this problem.

Noobtastic14 Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 I've managed to get out of two of these situations- and a few on my motorcycle as well (damn dirty throttle cables) As long as there is an "off" switch I dont see why everybody is twisting up their panties -Drew Quote I am a United States Military Arts and Crafts Professional.

LoudNLow931 Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 Alot of them have happend on the express way, Why don't the bring the car into the left lane and grind against the wall until it slows down... Or use the e break and regular break to slow down and run into something... Theres plenty of things they could do to stop.

Guest DC Power Kyle Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 I'm ready to hop in the 2010 camry in my driveway and slam the pedal to the ground and see if it will "shift into neutral" I think it will. Can try it in the 2007 avalon too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
