Would you drive a Toyota?
Tue, 9 Mar 2010|
Toyota's run of bad luck and terrible timing continues. On the same day that Toyota launched a counterattack against the assertion that electronics may be at the heart of its runaway acceleration problem, a Toyota Prius took its driver on a 30-mile wild ride on a California interstate not far from Toyota headquarters. Outside of San Diego on Monday, James Sikes found himself behind the wheel of his blue Toyota 2008 Prius hybrid with what he said later was a stuck accelerator. In interviews after the incident, from which he emerged safely, Sikes said that his Prius accelerated up to 94 mph. Would you drive a Toyota?

There was gonna I was trying the breakthrough wasn't stopping there was a Prius that's what he gets firm buying up how you read. God didn't want you to have a hybrid moon back to you why did you go to -- if he wanted you to have an internal combustion. Engine propelling your vehicle forward as nature and god intended to.
Up patrol car pulled up alongside the runaway Prius. And officers told mr. -- over a loudspeaker to push the brake pedal to the Florida play the emergency brake. They also got a going on a steep upgrade between those three things they got it to slow down after the car. Decelerated to about fifty miles an hour mr. -- turned off the engine and coasted to a halt to the officer then maneuvered his car in front of the Prius has a cautionary.
Followed met their ball missed -- break up. Problem at a mall. My own bouts trying to save the polar bears in the polar ice caps then the ozone layer off by using a hybrid be echoed.

I don't care it's a grand standing play says sometimes there's nothing wrong with -- grandstanding to play. 18774694322. -- recklessly a couple of calls about the run away Prius and could Al Gore be reached for comment about this is this is what people people are trying to save the save the earth you know. The trying to save the planet excuse me. In and this is what happens -- place every one endanger. I thought that I thought the only cars we're gonna wanna controls when rapture occurred. You know in the cars would suddenly be unmanned Mosul bumper stickers warning when rapture occurs this car will be unmanned. Who don't. Now to apparently -- Prius the hybrids have started going out of control before rapture occurs. George you're next with how we cargo ahead George.
there's so we can -- but you know. -- just like he should maybe join NASCAR could do it cause phone Hollywood is doing very expresses its deep.
No you're right about that may even dial 911 and then what are have been able to do this if BA if he had -- what did he have a hand -- do you think he had a hand -- did was he using Bluetooth.
Well I don't know if he did it -- now hopefully get a it's speeding ticket or --
He's four miles an -- war and dialing on the cell phones.
Well but guess for -- the easy thing I can get it automatic -- theatre if your car go on out. Think you're about -- you know what you get so little thing called and you go from drive to add which is neutral and -- that -- didn't tell him to do that he wanted to smart enough to do that but -- do so according to.
Or would the car just come to it come to way sudden halt the may be immediately or 94 miles an hour -- the car in the neutral is in the car discuss slammed forward and then. I -- college I once saw an accident and Connecticut -- slam on the brakes. To have to avoid another car in the -- hit so hard that the car flipped it was a Volkswagen flipped over you -- get hurt but there was a hell of a thing to say I'll tell you.
Now it will get it would it would do it it would just it would have to eventually -- was to stop act would stop these just. By dissing gauging the injured and putting it neutral all the injured may rabbi Howard blow. It's not gonna do anything it's that critical -- and then the break quirky they're pulled over in fact get. -- that -- that's what -- restored into neutral I don't understand what's go on our.
You think you're gonna have a war you like some of these cars should elect Alexis has a warning saying don't you know here's our here's the map you know what comes up. When you know when you turn the car on but don't look at the map because it might you might take -- off the road you think they'll say something if Prius goes out of control when eternal life Prius goes out of control pulled it into neutral.
Back and remember it was bullet can maybe more than ten years ago I think you're sought I don't know what -- they were just. All of a sudden jumping into gear and Eric and like -- gas station that -- people -- automatically just -- and -- right it reflects the.
I don't I don't know I -- well again. Alexa again Alexis is made by at -- by Toyota right it's the it's the upscale version of a Toyota. I just wonder why they don't say Prius runs away I mean -- there in the you know the you know the way they always give issue vis AEA there was put him in the active by the headline writers almost put him in the active Bob voice.

Without our budget goes to operate our go cart today I -- technology titans pretty complicated. -- into a car again I can't believe we're like KK problem and got my car important part. Highway speed it's nothing happened. The technology picked up by the fact you don't 65 miles an hour you bring your park you're an idiot so they shook. Putting your mutual lot of Obama people are not thinking they operate -- out if there really is accelerating. I'd ideally I'd doubt that -- lovely really you don't know we don't call the highway speeds. Dutrow. I'm explosion nobody -- powered by frankly.
Sorry about that thanks for the call David. Powell met them all mr. speaker out. How all of them are Toyota's work call was too late for an elderly queen. -- couple mister speaker who said they were the latest victim of its sticky accelerator yesterday this is per mile last month. Jerry silver spry 86 year old who stormed Omaha Beach in 63 was driving a walk home along queens boulevard -- his wife frost 185. When he said the accelerator stuck on his 22009. Key every one of millions of recall toyotas. What -- helpless feeling you have no idea set a banged up silver from New York hospital queens.

I don't mean I don't think it I mean we know Leo we put the key area of the doubt -- people live and he can actually physically do it yeah you don't build on these cards everything -- Which the other moon -- think it's well they've been so we know that there's so it bands that's what we've -- you look -- our. It'd makes -- that you don't -- it -- that situation. It would be it -- be very difficult more than other cars supported in neutral because you don't. You cannot physically put the our Internet -- You're actually relying ought to do it automatically kind of trust that like up but it's -- describe the Fiat auto have a free at. I don't avatar -- do that but yeah I thought that's what I drove it.
I'm trying to think what happened when I had the Highlander for a day or -- I can't remember if I can remember what I do wanna put it reverse it doesn't they didn't stay whatever was it didn't you'll pardon expressions stick in my mind.

Al Gore could not be reached for comment. On this latest 40. To be global warming community.
A one another going to hide the decline. In the approval rating for Prius is among moon bats. Here in the wake of the near tragedy. On interstate eight in San Diego where the Prius went out of control up to 984 miles an hour. Before the moon bat was able to break it to a halt. Officer mark in New Hampshire says any word if the Obama and Kerry Edwards bumper sticker survived the incident. See what happens to hybrid when it goes over one of these open road trip polling sensors that goes -- work. May -- Toyota should just install those parachutes that pop out behind drag racing cars about an anchor with a short rope that you could toss out the window. Miles says a -- all fortune drive and a beauty parlor windows will now we'll have some credibility when they say the card just lunged forward. Mark my words to blue -- longer admit the driver error I keep pressing on gas pedal instead of break your Prius can outlook cannot accelerate out of control who knows -- can now lunged forward. I don't know but miles. W I think a Buick is going to be a hard sell. Two year run average. Member of the local constabulary. On the other hand a Prius. No one's gonna doubt that story anymore. Don says. Put the Toyota in neutral if you shut off the engine you'll lock that DM steering -- does not do not shut the engine off put it in neutral.
Lou in Waltham says my old corolla would jump ahead when the air conditioner compressor kicked that in many a time I came close to hitting whatever was in from a make. 1877469432218774. It looks like you did everything wrong according to all the callers. The they got a lot of steep upgrade. They told them to apply the emergency brake. Keep that he finally he turned off the engine and a coasted to a halt than the but cop pulled his car in front of the Prius just as a precautionary -- in case the Prius decided that. To take off again even though the engine was turned off you never know -- an array of -- gotten into that battery right and just. There -- off to the races again Katie bar the door Kenya are next with how we cargo ahead Chad.
