| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: While test driving a new '05 toyota prius i came to the conclusion that its braking system is inadequate. emergency braking while turning easily induces under-steer because of the regenerative braking. as the aggressive brake-assist takes over there is "snap" over-steer and front wheel lockup. for average drivers this can result in complete loss of control. |
