2014 Toyota Prius acceleration complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 14 of 14, newest first, as owners wrote them.
I was pulling into a convenience store in my 2014 prius. As I was gliding in, I depressed the brake pedal and the car kept going. I continued to press the brake and the car started to accelerate. I could feel the surge of power. I was completely unable to stop the car and I ran into parking posts at the front of the store. All airbags were deployed. I got a cut on my forehead and was bleeding. An ambulance arrived and my husband drove me to the er afterwards and I received treatment. I was coming home from the gym at 9am in the morning. I have never been at fault in an auto accident before. I have a witness that said he heard a chirping sound coming from my brakes right before the crash. I have the pin drive from the car that a representative, supposedly from an outside source, that retrieved it. This is what toyota used to conduct their "investigation" into the incident. They concluded that it was completely not their fault, not indicating how it could have happened. They are not going to help at all. Someone other than toyota needs to investigate this problem before someone else gets killed. ( I filed a previous complaint this morning but realized I had entered the VIN number wrong. This is the same complaint with the correct VIN number.

Toyota completely denies there is anything wrong with the car, but gives no explanation as to how this could have occurred. They will not help at all. Someone is going to get seriously injured or killed. This needs to be investigated by someone other than toyota.
While traveling in slippery conditions I attempted to navigate a right hand turn. The car began to slide while braking indicating possible snow buildup in front of tires. I attempted to accelerate out of the slide which is proper in front wheel drive vehicles. The cars dash lights lite up and the slide indicator started beeping. The car became completely unresponsive to the gas providing no power whatsoever. The car slid over the curb and crashed into a highway sign and finally came to rest.
