I couldn't get through the first 30 seconds. This guy needs to do more research on the subject before running his mouth like he is. I'm no fan of the Prius hippies, but I am smart enough to discern the difference between a manufacturing flaw and poor driving.

Look, the guy is too much of a ***** to even show his face. Please, someone remove him from the gene pool.

he has a point though. if your car doesn't stop accelerating, put it in neutral or turn it off by pressing the power button.

What does he need to do research on? Wont turning the power off enable the user to slow it to a stop in the case of a malfunction?

I think that his point is that because there is a problem with the accelerator, it doesn't mean you have to crash into someone/thing and or completely lose control of the vehicle.

I don't disagree that it is a problem that needs to be fixed and shouldn't have happened in the first place, but the majority of Prius drivers are ****ing retards that have no business driving.

OMG I thought for a minute that Was Noah from LIC but then Noah swears WAY more so it couldnt have been him

actually it turns out that guy with the run away prius was full of ****, He was bankrupt and hasnt paid his last two payments, he got turned away at the dealer for the recall and decided to take matters in his own hands, I knew that thing sounded fishy because yeah you can put them in nutral and the brakes are still mechanical and the computer cant over-ride them. I guess when people smell toyota blood in the water they will Come out of the woodwork to sue

i competely agree! dude is over the top and its def a problem that toyota needs to address but isnt it ironic that since the media has been all over this topic the numbers of incidents are drastically increasing?!?! too many ignorant ppl in this country

oh and +1 for "get the F out of the HAMMER lane"!! ROFL!
