Toyota Prius Service Brakes Safety Report | Oct 16, 2013
Reported on Oct 16, 2013
MY SON WAS DRIVING MY PRIUS 2011 - I WAS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. WE WERE SITTING AT A RED LIGHT AND HE HAD HIS FOOT ON THE BRAKE. SUDDENLY THE CAR SURGED AHEAD ALTHOUGH MY SON STILL HAD HIS FOOT ON THE BRAKE. IMMEDIATELY LIGHTS CAME UP ON THE DASH - BRAKE, ABS? AND PICTURE OF A CAR WITH SKID MARKS. THE BRAKES WERE THEN SPONGY, THERE SOMETIMES AND THEN NOT. I HAVE IT IN THE TOYOTA SHOP NOW AND THE REPAIRS HAVE BEEN ESTIMATED TO BE $4,440. I DID NOT BUY THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. WE MET WITH THE DEALER AND THEY WERE NO HELP. I CALLED TOYOTA AND THEY OFFERED ME $1,500.00 AFTER I PAY THE BILL AND TOLD ME IT COULD TAKE UP TO 8 WEEKS FOR ME TO RECEIVE PAYMENT. *TR | |
