It's a conspiracy headed by Jesse Ventura to promote his "Conspiracy Theory" show.

supposedly computer keeps throttle open . The woman who had her '05 PRIUS crash said that she checked the floor mat and that pedal was not stuck ( used foot to unstick it ) . Thus a fault in the 'puter . This could get very interesting if pedal fix doesn't work .

But the way the media (and Administration) are playing this is very suspicous. The reason I mentioned the fact that no accidents or injuries have occurred was to point out how the sensationalized press is reporting this. Based on what you see on the news, cars should be crashing all over th place and bodies spewed across America's roadways. We all know that isn't true, but bullshit like LaHood is saying reeks of other motivations... |

Now the Prius has brake problems and is being recalled.......
Toyota is really in the midst of a design quality crisis. Now is the time for owners of a Yaris with aceleration delay issues to take the car back to the dealer and demad a souution as it now appers that toyota has mutiple ECU/electrical problems with multiple cars. BTW, there is a report that eltromagnetic radiation (such as cell phone signals, etc) may possibly be causing some Tyota ECUs to malfunction. |

This looks like media hype to me. Of course, society at large can be rather weak-minded and believe everything they hear on the 'news'. Pretty soon, angry mobs are going to attack Toyota owners and dealers. Now, since they smell blood in the water, they are going to start on something else....Prius brakes. It is all overblown BS propagated and exacerbated by a pukey, liberal media who believes that all corporations are inherently evil anyway. This does not affect my feeling on Toyotas one little bit. I would buy another and probably will one day.

As long as Toyota provides good customer service and continue to build fun to drive and fuel efficient cars (like the Yaris) I'll stay with them. I'm planning to stay w/ my Yaris long term. It's an excellent little car! |

The fact that this thread is 14 pages long and the Yaris isn't in the recall only proves the fact that this American media classic fear campaign has really gotten to people.
If you operate a machine and you are unaware of how to use it properly and completely you take that responsibility and any consequences into your own hands. This wouldn't be a problem if it took more than 5 minutes to get a drivers' license in America. Or more than $5. |

Aren't the Prius brake parts the same as the ones used in the yaris? I know a lot of our parts are the same.
