Officer Saves Prius Driver With Stuck Accelerator! Still! | Video

Not good. Thankfully no one was inured or killed, the company would be in the most serious trouble yet although others have lost their lives along the way I’m sure Toyota’s taking care of their loved ones for life and rightfully so. My late mother had a Camry, a 2000 that I and my brother bought her that had this problem and we shaved the top right corner off the floor-mat and it was fine thereafter and I still have the car.

Not a single problem after that remedy, which I made known to Arlington Toyota here in Illinois, where we bought the car by the way. Woulda saved em billions if they listened to me in 2001. As we know they didn’t nor anyone else who lived  through the little malfunction they basically ignored.

EL CAJON, California — A California Highway Patrol officer helped slow a runaway Toyota Prius from 94 mph to a safe stop on Monday after the car's accelerator became stuck on a San Diego County freeway, the CHP said.

Prius driver James Sikes called the police emergency dispatcher about 1:30 p.m. after accelerating to pass another vehicle on Interstate 8 near La Posta and finding that he could not control his car, the CHP said.

“I pushed the gas pedal to pass a car and it did something kind of funny … it jumped and it just stuck there,” the 61-year-old driver said at a news conference. “As it was going, I was trying the brakes…it wasn't stopping, it wasn't doing anything and it just kept speeding up,” Sikes said, adding he could smell the brakes burning he was pressing the pedal so hard.
