@jakesmr2 OK, then answer this, if he is indeed too "frightened and distracted" to think of putting the car in neutral then why didn't he do it when the 911 operator TOLD HIM to put the car in neutral? Plus when you hit the brakes on a prius WHILE still applying throttle, the computer will automatically cut the throttle.
@mercedescl I'm talking about sikes runaway prius. Which 3rd party investigators have found that sikes story was not even possible after they got their findings.
My 2010 Toyota Prius Suddenly Accelerated Unintendedly on January 31, 2019. This is still happening! This was not the Floormat! I did not mistake the Gas Pedal for the Brake Pedal! I Never Have! The pedal was not Sticky! It Sucked itself Full Throttle right to the Floor when coming out of a right hand turn! Brakes held but Engine was Revving like crazy. Every time I released the brakes to try to get the gas pedal to come back, the Prius took off. Can you imagine starring down with your foot on the brakes, and the gas pedal is still pushed in Full Throttle? Explain that?? It did this for about 2 and a half blocks. Shifting to Neutral was NOT working. It wouldn't Turn Off. And I didn't want to press the "E" Brake risking the lines snapping and having NO BRAKES! That was my last resort. This was Crazy and Vehicle Manufacturers need to be held accountable! I've made a "Safety-Related Defect Complaint" to Transport Canada 🍁. You should all do the same in your country. Let's fight this and end Sudden Unintended Acceleration! Maybe going back to a Drive By Cable system instead of Electronic Throttle Control will be the answer. There's gotta be a solution!
Do you have evidences to back up your theory? The problem is that no one has evidences to charge Toyota of wrong doing, but the US media kinda figure out that some Toyotas do run wild in special occasions.
What does driving a Prius have to do with having a job. Just because you're to selfish to care about the planet doesn't mean there aren't people out there that are actually smart.
scam artists.. it's like yrs ago when someone found a syringe needle inside pepsi can.. then others came forward to file lawsuit. they examined that it didn't even fit inside the can! of course they went to jail.. think this runaway driver should too.

Our revved up while slowing down but only briefly. The break was basically unusable. I'm scared it's going to get worse and lead to a crash. It does have maintenance symbols on after the incident

The Prius is arguably one of the BEST cars built! I wouldn't of believed it, but my '08 Prius is changing my view of Toyota.

I tried om my '08 Prius, if the vehicle is running, in gear, and moving, the power button is disabled. But neutral still works..

I think they're trying to see if you could still stop the car using brakes even with the engine accelerating.
Do you have evidences to back up your theory?

What's coming out of toyota obviously

@gmwillm true that
I'm sure some of the incidents were real and some were just doing it to get some money.
