NHTSA Complaint #10317936 — 2007 TOYOTA PRIUS

INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). I OWN A 2007 TOYOTA PRIUS, I HAVE BEEN HAVING THE SAME ISSUES OTHER DRIVERS ARE REPORTING IN THAT THE VEHICLE WILL INCREASE SPEED WHEN GOING OVER BUMPS, OR ON A SLIPPERY ROAD. I ALWAYS ASSUMED IT WAS SOME TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM AND IT WAS NORMAL, HOWEVER THE RECENT NEWS STORIES HAVE MADE ME AWARE THAT MY SITUATION WITH MY VEHICLE IS NOT NORMAL. I HAVE CONTACTED TOYOTA ABOUT THIS MAJOR ISSUE, HOWEVER THEY ADVISED ME THAT BECAUSE THE VEHICLE IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY THAT THEY ARE NOT HELD LIABLE FOR THE VEHICLE. THEY ALSO STATED THAT DUE TO NO RECALL BEING ISSUED FOR THIS MODEL AND YEAR THAT NOTHING CAN BE DONE, UNLESS I AM WILLING TO PAY TO HAVE THE ISSUE AT HAND RESOLVED. I DO FEEL THAT THE BRAKING ISSUE IS IDENTICAL TO THE 2010 ISSUES. NOT SURE WHAT TO DO, AND THEREFORE I AM WRITING TO YOU. THE INCIDENT DATE WOULD BE WHEN EVER I DRIVE MY VEHICLE, NO CRASH HAS HAPPENED YET HOWEVER. [XXX] *TR
