NHTSA Complaint #10308791 — 2010 TOYOTA PRIUS

NOT JUST THE BRAKES, IT'S ALSO THE PARK BUTTON ON THE 2010 TOYOTA PRIUS. BESIDES THE CARS BRAKES NOT WORKING AND BEING THE CAUSE OF A RECENT COLLISION, THERE IS ANOTHER SAFETY ISSUE. THE CAR HAS A PARK BUTTON AND THAT I ACCIDENTALLY PUSHED WHEN I WAS DRIVING, THINKING I WAS REACHING FOR THE HEATER BUTTON. THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. I WAS ON THE FREEWAY AND THE CAR ENGINE WAS CUT OFF. WHEN I STEPPED ON THE GAS, THE CAR WOULD NOT GO. I WAS ALMOST HIT IN THE REAR END BY A SEMI TRUCK UNTIL I COULD GET THE CAR PULLED OVER AND STOPPED. TOYOTA SHOULD HAVE A SAFETY FEATURE ON THIS CAR SO THAT THE PARKING BUTTON WILL NOT OPERATE WHILE THE CAR IS BEING DRIVEN. *TR
