Consumer Description

I PURCHASED A 2010 PRIUS IN AUGUST 2009. IT SHOWS NO EVIDENCE OF AN ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM. I REPORTED THIS TO THE TAYLOR TOYOTA OF ALEXANDRIA IN OCTOBER WHO TOLD ME THAT THEY HAD NOT HEARD OF THE PROBLEM AND THEY DID NOTHING. ADDITIONALLY, THE AVID FACTORY TIRES ON THE CAR ARE NOT EFFECTIVE ON WET PAVEMENT; THEY SKID. AGAIN, I REPORTED THIS TO THE DEALER AND AGAIN THEY TOLD ME THEY HAD NOT HEARD OF A PROBLEM BUT REFERRED ME TO THEIR PARTS DEPARTMENT TO BUY NEW TIRES. FINALLY, WHEN I ENGAGE CRUISE CONTROL, THE CAR SURGES FORWARD IN SPEED UNTIL I DEPRESS THE BRAKE. I STOPPED USING THE CRUISE CONTROL. *TR
