| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: In 2005 toyota prius, even slight wheel slippage engages the vehicle control system and cuts power to the wheels. when it is sometimes necessary to accelerate quickly into traffic, acceleration cuts off completely and leaves one in a dangerous situation. even if i back off the accelerator it takes several moments for the vsc to cut out before acceleration can resume. the vsc cannot be turned off as it can in most other cars. it is most likely to occur when entering a highly traveled highway from a side street and i have no choice but to accelerate quickly. toyota provides no warning re: this dangerous feature. i believe it causes accidents.*jb |
