New Toyota-Blamed Crashes

Jim Sikes called 9-1-1 after his Toyota Prius' accelerator became stuck and police assisted him in stopping the vehicle. As Ben Tracy reports, he is not the only driver blaming Toyota for acceleration troubles.

@TheMadSyrupMaker What that person you reponded to said is true. You think the controversy that's happening has nothing to do with the US and its collapsing economy? You think politics and "hidden" agendas have nothing to do with that? I say "hidden" because they're not really hidden; it's just that too many people don't learn anything at school about history and how everything is done in this world: it's always politics. Toyota isn't the big evil spirit like your govmt wants you to believe.

@fuhmeregan lol learn history and you'll find out that on the subject of unfair trade policy, your country is the best at it.

the glitch is the puppet master producing series of event to bring fear.

oh, he didn't realise he could pull the brake before the police came? bright guy...

they need to recall all the cars with this accelerator problem, estimated over ten million cars, estimated over $3300.00 to fix each car because it is electrical. $33 billion + the lawsuits = Toyota is fucked.

lol deathtraps? seriously?? do u work for GM? or in the US gov't? or part of the CAW/UAW?? what a joke! The brakes will always override acceleration...Toyota will always be on top its too bad Americans cant accept that! Driver error is the main cause in most if not all of these incidents its also too bad that congress wont let Toyota prove that! Do your homework before posting such stupid comments!

Wait till one of Japan's cars leaps ahead in a driveway, squishing a baby or two. They will have to rename from Toyota to Yakagooky or something to sell this particular Jap-crap again. Asia PREVENTS their peoples from buying our products, but because of our corrupt governments, we let ALL their products into North America. It's called the UNFAIR TRADE POLICY. Compliments of Retail giants here purchasing the White House, these giants' workshops being in China, Japan etc.

Here he says: "I love toyotas, I will never drive Prius again". In another video he has demanded new prius to be issued to him by Toyota. Hahaha what a dumbass. Balloon boy y'all!
