When it rains it pours and Toyota seems to be drowning because of it.
It is reported that sometime this week Toyota will likely announce plans to recall more than 300,000 third-generation Prius hybrids to fix a break problem.
The Toyota Prius is tagged as the “most efficient hybrid” and has been since it was first introduced three years ago. However, it is now surfacing that the brakes on the Prius momentarily stop working after the car hits a bump and several accidents have occurred because of this. Reports of the break issue started to surface last December, but Toyota did not seem to take the complaints seriously, placing the blame on inexperienced drivers who didn’t know how to use anti-lock breaks. Suddenly, last week in the midst of the already Toyota frenzy because of two back to back recalls, Toyota announced that there was indeed a defect and they are ready to make the fix. Toyota should be making the recall on the Prius, as early as today.
