Consumer Description

TRACTION CONTROL ON THE TOYOTA PRIUS DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY. WHEN TRACTION IS LOST ON A WHEEL, INSTEAD OF TRANSFERRING POWER TO THE OTHER WHEEL, THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM COMPLETELY DISABLES POWER TO BOTH WHEELS FOR APPROXIMATELY 1/2 SECOND. THIS IS DANGEROUS IF YOU ARE TRYING TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC AT AN INTERSECTION AND THE ROAD SURFACE IS ANYTHING OTHER THAN DRY ASPHALT OR CONCRETE. FYI -TIRE CONDITION IS NOT A VARIABLE AS THE VEHICLE CONTAINS 4 WINTER TIRES WITH LESS THAN 200 MILES OF USE. THE TIRES ARE INFLATED PER THE RECOMMENDATIONS ON THE DOOR PLACARD. *TR
