While I was doing a slow turn in a driveway, my brake failed and the car continued to accelerate in a forward motion. When I shifted into reverse, the car revved and roared accelerating at full tilt. It raced across a road into another driveway only stopping when wedged between a garage door and a tree. Toyota took the totaled car and had it inspected by engineering associates and insurance auto auctions. Their response is that "there was no serious defects identified." obviously, the momentary mechanical or electronic failure of my car could never be detected, so according to toyota, there was nothing to cause the failure. I feel totally victimized and believe toyota should take responsibility and compensate me for the loss of my car.

I was in a parking lot and put the car in reverse. Then I heard a "boom" and I thought that I backed into something, so I quickly put the car into drive. I then felt the car excelerating fast and I was pushing the brake as hard as I could and could not stop the car from moving forward. The car proceeded to excellerate and when over a curb up onto pavement and through a metal fence and bent a 5 inch round metal fencing down to the ground and the car kept going another 30 feet till it finally stopped. You can see the skid marks in the the parking lot.

I purchased a 2014 toyota prius on may 31, 2014. Today 6/18/14 I found out there was a recall on this model vehicle. I called toyota and I was informed the recall service had not been performed. I called a local dealer (different from the one where I purchased the vehicle) and they informed me that when they pulled the VIN, it showed stop sale in effect. I do not blame toyota as obviously if one dealer could see the stop sale so could the other. I think that there should be stricter regulations on dealerships to make sure these recalls are completed before the sale!! Just like the gentleman that complained earlier I also purchased a brand new defective vehicle, how can this happen several months after the recall. !! Now I have to take the time off to take it in to have the recall fixed. This is a major inconvenience, loss of use of vehicle and loss of time from work. I also want to know how to get compensated for the inconvenience and time, plus the fact they sold and I have been driving an unsafe vehicle.
