Consumer Description

WE OWN A 2010 PRIUS. ALTHOUGH THE HESITATION IN THE BRAKING HAS BEEN AT ISSUE, WE QUICKLY LEARNED TO OVERCOME THE HESITATION. OF MORE CONCERN FOR US IS THE INABILITY TO STEER THE CAR ON WET OR SMOOTH SURFACES. WHEN ON WATER OR SNOW THERE IS NO COMMUNICATION BETWEEN THE COMPUTER AND THE STEERING WHEEL. WARNING LIGHTS COME ON AND ALL STEERING CEASES. THIS HAS RESULTED IN SEVERAL NEAR MISSES WHEN DRIVING IN TRAFFIC. IF YOU LOOK ON EDMUNDS.COM AND PRIUS CHAT.COM YOU WILL SEE THAT THIS IS A MAJOR CONCERN FOR PRIUS OWNERS AND COULD POTENTIALLY BE A DEADLY PROBLEM IF IT HASN'T BEEN ALREADY. A CAR THAT DOESN'T STEER OR BRAKE IS A DEADLY COMBINATION. *TR
