Consumer Description

MY 2009 TOYOTA PRIUS HAS HAD OCCASIONAL BURSTS OF ENERGY AND JOLTS FORWARD ON IS OWN. LUCKILY I WAS IN "PARK" EACH TIME IT HAPPENED. I WASN'T EVEN PUSHING THE GAS PEDAL. IT WAS A VERY SUDDEN THING, I HAD NO WARNING. IT'S DEFINITELY NOT A FLOOR MAT ISSUE. NOW I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. THE LAST TIME THIS HAPPENED WAS APPROXIMATELY A MONTH AGO, I ASKED IF THERE WAS RECALL FOR MY CAR, AND THE DEALER SAID NO. WHAT'S MAKING ME WORRY NOW IS THE STORY ON THE NEWS ABOUT A "RUNAWAY" PRIUS. I THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR ANYTHING YOU CAN DO TO HELP. *TR
