What a Dumb story , They want to pass the fake impression , Toyota prius has a bugatti veyron engine with 1001hp , which you can press the brakes as much as you can and the car reaches the top speed like it has no resistance what so ever .
What a fucking liar. He better go to the dealership and kiss their ass and apologize for being such a damn idiot when driving. Toyota got a lot of shit for this and wasn't deserved. They even had engineers from NASA test the cars and FOUND NOTHING. Floor mats can get stuck in every car. How stupid are people.
@OoshkaHusky They didn't acknowledge there was a mechanical failure with the gas pedal you idiot. They acknowledged the floor mat could get stuck. But there again that can happen in any car.
bullshit with him. when you listen to his conversation with the police when the lady tells him to put in neutral he does not replay to that question. he is just did this to get money and attention
" I love Toyota" the grand pa´ says... all the AMERICAN cars, like Linconl, Ford, GMC, Buik, Chevrolet, etc, doesn't have this problems... Honda go at the same way with acelerations problems and fatalityes in all the country. Lets get back the American pride and only use the Amercan cars!!
This is clearly a hoax! The guy was on the phone with the 911 operator and when she asked him if he had tried to place the vehicle in neutral, he said "I'm trying to control the vehicle ma'am." Which is clear to me that he never placed the vehicle in neutral. He was holding the brake down with one foot and the gas pedal down with the other foot. When investigators questioned him, he lawyered up. Yet the media never addressed this clear case of fraud publicly.
I like how the woman tried her best to get him to say that it was the pedal. anybody else catch that? Your gas pedal is stuck, Right? Right? please, give the 3 billion to GM, and I bet this goes away. Every time I get in my wifes Rav4 to drive it, I have to pull the floor mat back. It got stuck under the pedal one day because I was in a hurry, and guess what>>>>>yep, the pedal got stuck. what happened to throwing a car in neutral if needed? blowing an engine is cheaper than a wreck!!!
@shashoni109 why? thats right, cant get them to go. do your homework. plenty of videos on youtube showing bad vehicles made by others. also, ford has had a big recall on the windstar. axle and steering problems. corrosion as well. google it if you don't believe me. one ford recall on one vehicle was over 500 thousand. didnt hear THAT on the media did we? over 14 million dodge seat belt issues.....not on the media. If Toyota paid the big 3 the 3 billion in fines, this would all go away. screw GM
LMAO at 0:33 - 0:38. "Driving along a winding stretch of interstate 8 near San Diego when his gas pedal stuck, ROCKETING his car forward". LoL, It's a Prius for cryin' out loud....
I WOULD LOVE FOR YOU TO CHECK TIHS VIDEO OUT OF MINE. IT'S MESSAGE TO THE WORLD AND I NEED HELP GETTING IT OUT THERE. AND I WANT TO STARTED WITH GOOD PEOPLE LIKE YOURSELF. THANK YOU AND ENJOY. THEN I WOULD LIKE YOU TO GO CHECK OUT THE REST OF MY VIDEO AS I WILL FOR YOU.
the guy was 61 years old lots of older people dont know how to use todays technology my grandmother cant even answer her cellphone with out answering up side down
the guy is a fruad AND anyone who believes it is an idiot. Even if a brake pedal was tuck you just put it in neutral or turn it off. Take the bus clueless drivers.
besides i heard a few hours before it happened he went into the dealer ship insisting that he got a recall letter but they checked the VIN # and told him his car has no problems and is not on the list
and someone at the dealer said he seemed frustrated as he left... hmmmm interesting what are the chances
What do you want to bet this guy a real estate agent in a failing housing market is trying to get out of his car loan? The government investigation just released found NO FAULTS in the electronics. Audi went thru the same shit in the 80's
BTW I am no Toyota fan.. for lots of reasons.. but they are REAL reasons.. not made up ones.
The guy is scared cause he's a lying sack of chicken nuggets. The operator asked him to take it out of gear and he gave her some ridiculous reason why he wouldn't do that. Then he was ELUSIVE. He had taken the Prius in to the dealer for OTHER problems. I think this was his feeble attempt to try and get a new car out of the deal. In other words...STAGED. The floor mat was the ONLY problem and that was a quick fix. Prius is a lovely, safe car.
Just in case anyone isn't clued in, this guy was later proven to be a scammer/hoaxer. He was $700k in debt and trying to ride on the anti-Toyota hype for a big settlement. Investigators didn't find anything wrong with his car or any proof of "hard breaking."
CBS? Some of the younger folks don't remember their wrongful bashing of Audi
in the late 80's (60min), but i do. There is no proof mainly because it's practically
impossible. The only thing that has been proven over and over is human error.
Let's talk about that Audi 5000 you had manipulated to falsely claim as proof. Stop exploiting the fears of ignorant people, Toyota makes very good cars and dont deserve so much hate. Sounds more like overzealous patriots hating on the foreign. GM advert ?
@XxESKIMOxX Disable the engine. Press and hold the power button. Turn the key. Anything to remove power from the wheels of the vehicle. If you stop the engine, sure you will lose power brake and steering assist, but steering and braking are still possible. I've got to say, this is all basic stuff I learned in Driver's Ed, focusing on the practical side of driving.
Lesson here.. If your not smarter than your borderline average 16 year old teenager, and you don't posses the knowledge stop your vehicle, ride the bus. Its that simple!

Lol, in the time you could call 911 you could shut off your car or disengage you engine...either the prius is a horrible car where neither of these things are possible or this driver is a moron.
Hold the off button... you may lose POWER steering and POWER brakes, but they still work, as long as you don't lock the steering wheel (turn key to off.. some cars still have this.) Saying to try turning your wheel in the driveway with the car off is not the same as rolling and doing it.... way more friction to overcome while sitting still, you are grinding your tires against the pavement. Throw it in neutral...
I like how the government failed so bad at bad mouthing Toyota that they called in NASA to investigate. I guess when looking for invisible space monkeys, NASA is who you turn to.
So far with the Prius, all the testing showed theat the gas pedal not the break was being floored. The feds also looked at cell phone records and the drivers in almost all cases were on their phones.
@aoeuuiaiui or you can pop it in neutral. but american are too retarded to think of that. you give them a gear box that does everything for you and its still too complicated. fucking retards
This is so fake. The woman tells him to take it out of gear, and he is "busy fumbling with the phone"....he "takes it out of gear" and "somehow" slows down to 50 mph with the emergency brake. ....I'm sorry, who did this story? The 911 call is totally out of line. Just take it out of gear and it will slow down to a complete stop. Eventually. What? Is this guy just so filthy rich that he doesn't know how to wipe his backside?
Any car with that good MPG would be a threat for US car makers...let us invent some stories and pay few ppl to talk trash about them because Mustang : 18MPG, Camaro : 20 but Prius :48MPG oh shit we are losing it.
for crying out loud first try putting it in neutral and if that doesn't work simply turn the key and turn off the engine sure your engine will be fucked up but atleast YOU will be okay.
@Addict466 Turning off the Engine mean no power steering or power breaking go out into your car and try and turn the wheel with it off and pop it out of gear with the car off and push the breaks it pretty much impossible to do.
@Kerickryantv How did people survive before the advent of power steering and brakes then? I've driven several vehicles with "armstrong steering" and it is possible to steer, it just takes more effort. Steering is also easier when you are rolling. As for brakes, lock your knee and use your lower body to force the pedal to the floor. It works, I've had vehicles stall and refuse to re-start and require a stop. It CAN be done!
@Addict466 putting the car in neutral isnt going to do much, the car is still going to be rolling at 90 MPH, neither is turning it off cause you wont be able to steer, so really theres not much to do in that situation
@bryancoyle The idea is to remove engine power to the wheels, shifting into neutral (unless you are going downhill) will cause you to slow down. I've never driven a prius, and never intend to, but from what I've seen the shifter seems to be electronic and you may not be able to shift into neutral at or above a certain RPM range to prevent over-rev. Shutting off the engine will NOT disable steering, it just becomes much harder because power assist goes away.
@cipher619 and turn the car off, lol. Stupid fuckin people man. No common sense. OMG my gas pedals stuck, o wait, ill take the time to call 911 and tell someone about it instead of using my head and throwing the car in neutral or shutting it off. lol.
@joe735 I cannot say Im surprised though, really. The average Prius driver isnt that intelligent. In fact, most of your typical "global warming" shits arent lol. I mean, Im down for recycling and shit to keep the planet clean, but theres no way in hell Im trading my truck in for some Japcrap that you cant do anything with. If anything, Id trade it for a diesel
@cipher619 I was thinking the same thing after i wrote that, lol. Hell, VW golf diesel gets like 50mph. Even the dispatcher, a woman, knew to take it out of gear, lol. Definitely shows the type of people that buy these cars.
@cipher619 Yeah, and people who buy trucks are geniuses, because there's such a huge necessity for a V8 with 4 wheel drive and a truck bed when you're driving to your local Walmart on a road with a 35mph speed limit, where the worst terrain you encounter are speed bumps. I mean, getting 15mpg compared to 50mpg just makes so much more sense! Hybrids (including diesel-hybrids) are the future...look at any car company's product line and you'll begin to realize that.
@QuantumStates If you live in the city maybe, and it seems like youve never really left the city. Keep in mind, the "future" is not always good. A hybrids only real benefit is fuel economy, and giving people the warm fuzzies over "saving the planet". Thats it. If you need a vehicle that can do any kind of towing, moving, or any other kind of ACTUAL work, you get a REAL vehicle, and not a "green" piece of crap.
@QuantumStates And what if your like me and want to have fun?, I don't think you can do a burn-out in a 98 Horsepower Prius. Sure my '70 Chevy Camaro Z/28 gets 9.5 Miles Per gallon but the point is ITS FUN TO DRIVE and the pedal won't get stuck unless my foot is on it (Which 75% of the time, It is :) ) And plus Prius's are slow as shit and have horrible interior quality
@1970CamaroZ The Prius is just like any other economy car...somewhat dull and boring to drive. But when I'm stuck in traffic on my way to work in the morning and back home in the evening, I frankly couldn't care less how "fun" my car is to drive...as long as I have my tunes playing and I get to my destination in relative comfort. In fact, if I was driving a 300HP Camaro and I was stuck in traffic with it, I'd be pretty pissed off knowing what I was missing out on. Practicality is the idea here.
@QuantumStates Yes, But My Camaro is practical. Sure its a 360 Horsepower Muscle Performance Car but it has the Luxurys of 1970, Such as Bucket Seats, a Manual Tranmission (Something The Prius Lacks) and a Vintage Radio. Plus my Car is Worth More than a Prius will ever be in 50 Years from now
@1970CamaroZ lol, "luxurys" of 1970? The camaro had no 'luxurys' for it's time, never mind for today. However the Prius also has bucket seats, and a actual stereo that can play music through more then a speaker on the top of the dash. It also has more 'gears' with it's cvt then your 4spd. And at BEST a 1970 will go for about $40,000, that's not a lot of money when compared to other muscle cars of that era. Not trying to knock you or your car (look at what I own), but lets be realistic here.
for the record everyone, this man is a liar. i'm from san diego where this event unfolded and the man admitted to authorities shortly thereafter that he fabricated the story for attention. disciplinary action is taking place. terrible actor, listen to his fake voice

This is why every car needs a kill switch. No matter the problem was, be it stuck pedal or electrical issue, maybe there was a reason it wasn't turning off with the button, there should be an emergency kill switch.
Don't people who drive priuses have nothing else to live for and would be glad to kill himself and others around him so that baby foxes and polar bears be saved and the oranghutan (yes that is how it is supposed to be spelt you ignorant westerners) would go on to conquer the land
I know it's difficult to look at another person's situation when you are not a part of it but if he had time to call 911 then he had plenty of time to put the car in neutral. Even the cop he was talking to could have told him to do this much.
No seriously people, This guy is a 61 year old dumbass. My cars accelerator got stuck once, goin 40mph. I put that fucker in neutral, & pulled off the side of the road safe n sound & in park. I turned it off, restarted it, & rpm jumped to like 4k with no foot on pedal, No biggie, just had it towed to the shop.
The acceration problem was caused by a faulty american made accelerator pedal. I witnessed a news broadcast that mentioned the prius has an american made accelerator pedal that sticks. This same pedal is installed in GM models which were also being recalled for the same problem. It was determined that moisture causes the contact points in the pedal to stick. A faulty american made pedal was the problem. I haven't lost any faith in the quality of craftsmanship that goes into Toyotas.
@Phelt54 No GM cars have not had recalls for faulty pedals. You just keep on dreaming up excuses to protect Toyota. But here, IN THE REAL WORLD, we don't play that shit.
My 1963 Impala doesn't need a computer to start, it doesn't rely on a computer to accelerate, it doesn't need a computer to run the engine. It doesn't need to have its wheels straight to start the car. It's simple and therefore won't cost me 10,000 for an engine rebuild and 5,000+ for a transmission rebuild. (unlike new jap and nazi cars). I have a Chevy 350 engine and transmission so parts are simple and cheap to come by and I don't have a 5,000 dollar battery. No stuck accelerator for me

THEN turn the car off. If you turn the car off while you are going, you can lose power steering and power brakes making it harder to control.

@aoeuuiaiui or you can pop it in neutral. but american are too retarded to think of that. you give them a gear box that does everything for you and its still too complicated. fucking retards

tvernon15 1 year ago
This is so fake. The woman tells him to take it out of gear, and he is "busy fumbling with the phone"....he "takes it out of gear" and "somehow" slows down to 50 mph with the emergency brake. ....I'm sorry, who did this story? The 911 call is totally out of line. Just take it out of gear and it will slow down to a complete stop. Eventually. What? Is this guy just so filthy rich that he doesn't know how to wipe his backside?

for crying out loud first try putting it in neutral and if that doesn't work simply turn the key and turn off the engine sure your engine will be fucked up but atleast YOU will be okay.
Addict466 1 year ago
@Addict466 Turning off the Engine mean no power steering or power breaking go out into your car and try and turn the wheel with it off and pop it out of gear with the car off and push the breaks it pretty much impossible to do.

@Kerickryantv you don't need to steer or brake the point is to slow down in an uncontrollably accelerating vehicle.

Kerickryantv 1 year ago
@Kerickryantv How did people survive before the advent of power steering and brakes then? I've driven several vehicles with "armstrong steering" and it is possible to steer, it just takes more effort. Steering is also easier when you are rolling. As for brakes, lock your knee and use your lower body to force the pedal to the floor. It works, I've had vehicles stall and refuse to re-start and require a stop. It CAN be done!

Kerickryantv 1 year ago
@Addict466 putting the car in neutral isnt going to do much, the car is still going to be rolling at 90 MPH, neither is turning it off cause you wont be able to steer, so really theres not much to do in that situation

@GodKing804 depending on the type of car though, some cars when there off, nothing works, for safety reasons, so neutral ain't going to do shit
bryancoyle 1 year ago
@bryancoyle The idea is to remove engine power to the wheels, shifting into neutral (unless you are going downhill) will cause you to slow down. I've never driven a prius, and never intend to, but from what I've seen the shifter seems to be electronic and you may not be able to shift into neutral at or above a certain RPM range to prevent over-rev. Shutting off the engine will NOT disable steering, it just becomes much harder because power assist goes away.

@cipher619 Yeah, and people who buy trucks are geniuses, because there's such a huge necessity for a V8 with 4 wheel drive and a truck bed when you're driving to your local Walmart on a road with a 35mph speed limit, where the worst terrain you encounter are speed bumps. I mean, getting 15mpg compared to 50mpg just makes so much more sense! Hybrids (including diesel-hybrids) are the future...look at any car company's product line and you'll begin to realize that.
QuantumStates 1 year ago
@QuantumStates If you live in the city maybe, and it seems like youve never really left the city. Keep in mind, the "future" is not always good. A hybrids only real benefit is fuel economy, and giving people the warm fuzzies over "saving the planet". Thats it. If you need a vehicle that can do any kind of towing, moving, or any other kind of ACTUAL work, you get a REAL vehicle, and not a "green" piece of crap.

ArcticWolf2010 1 year ago
@QuantumStates And what if your like me and want to have fun?, I don't think you can do a burn-out in a 98 Horsepower Prius. Sure my '70 Chevy Camaro Z/28 gets 9.5 Miles Per gallon but the point is ITS FUN TO DRIVE and the pedal won't get stuck unless my foot is on it (Which 75% of the time, It is :) ) And plus Prius's are slow as shit and have horrible interior quality
1970CamaroZ 1 year ago
@1970CamaroZ The Prius is just like any other economy car...somewhat dull and boring to drive. But when I'm stuck in traffic on my way to work in the morning and back home in the evening, I frankly couldn't care less how "fun" my car is to drive...as long as I have my tunes playing and I get to my destination in relative comfort. In fact, if I was driving a 300HP Camaro and I was stuck in traffic with it, I'd be pretty pissed off knowing what I was missing out on. Practicality is the idea here.
QuantumStates 1 year ago
@QuantumStates Yes, But My Camaro is practical. Sure its a 360 Horsepower Muscle Performance Car but it has the Luxurys of 1970, Such as Bucket Seats, a Manual Tranmission (Something The Prius Lacks) and a Vintage Radio. Plus my Car is Worth More than a Prius will ever be in 50 Years from now
1970CamaroZ 1 year ago 3
@1970CamaroZ lol, "luxurys" of 1970? The camaro had no 'luxurys' for it's time, never mind for today. However the Prius also has bucket seats, and a actual stereo that can play music through more then a speaker on the top of the dash. It also has more 'gears' with it's cvt then your 4spd. And at BEST a 1970 will go for about $40,000, that's not a lot of money when compared to other muscle cars of that era. Not trying to knock you or your car (look at what I own), but lets be realistic here.

dyfrnt 1 year ago 3
The acceration problem was caused by a faulty american made accelerator pedal. I witnessed a news broadcast that mentioned the prius has an american made accelerator pedal that sticks. This same pedal is installed in GM models which were also being recalled for the same problem. It was determined that moisture causes the contact points in the pedal to stick. A faulty american made pedal was the problem. I haven't lost any faith in the quality of craftsmanship that goes into Toyotas.

My 1963 Impala doesn't need a computer to start, it doesn't rely on a computer to accelerate, it doesn't need a computer to run the engine. It doesn't need to have its wheels straight to start the car. It's simple and therefore won't cost me 10,000 for an engine rebuild and 5,000+ for a transmission rebuild. (unlike new jap and nazi cars). I have a Chevy 350 engine and transmission so parts are simple and cheap to come by and I don't have a 5,000 dollar battery. No stuck accelerator for me
