In addition to Toyota’s accelerator pedal vehicle recall, there may be additional problems in the Prius’ brake system.
From the OC Register:
The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said today that it is opening a formal investigation into problems with brakes on the 2010 Prius hybrid.
The probe, the agency said, is “to look into allegations of momentary loss of braking capability while traveling over an uneven road surface, pothole or bump.
The news comes a day after the car’s brakes were put into question in several media reports and the Japanese government ordered the automaker to look into the issue. Of course, this latest news comes amid two recalls for millions of cars worldwide over unintended acceleration.
The guy in the cartoon (old hippie-lookin’ dude) reminds me of another Prius driver I posted about here for having an unusual paint job . . .
That’s what happens when you build a car out of rainbows, unicorn farts and foofoo berries.
Do they use the foofoo berries to rivet the farts to the rainbows? Also aren’t unicorn farts considered greenhouse gas?
CO2 is a greenhouse gas, you silly silly man. Unicorn farts are a hallucinogen.
