Then they claimed that the problem was with the floor mats. Now just as quickly they are certain that the problem is with one manufacturer who built a defective gas pedal. Meanwhile I read that some attorney's who have been investigating this problem for possible litigation suspect the problem is with the computer module that controls acceleration. My understanding is that is an extremly expensive repair.
Now a serious braking problem has surfaced on the Prius. These are not minor safety issues. I think the wise buyer lets someone else prove whether or not Toyota is now building safe products.
Finally, for every model Toyota builds, there are outstanding alternatives. I suggest you consider those rather than wondering about your brakes or acceleration next time you are driving on 466.

I love my '07 Camry Hybrid; but I agree with ojm.
