| Tl*the contact owns a 2006 toyota prius. the contact believed that there was a design flaw in the traction control mechanism. he lives on a steep hill and the traction control is designed to keep the front wheels from spinning when it detects slippage. he experiences difficulty driving uphill while attempting to decelerate. while driving approximately 5-10 mph, the tires stopped spinning and he lost control over the vehicle. the vehicle had to be pushed in order for it to properly operate again. the failure mileage was 5,000 and current mileage was 28,000. | |||

| On our 2006 toyota prius we have had 3 catastrophic tire failures involving the goodyear integrity tire which came on the car. the failures have all been on i-40 at highway speeds resulting in a minor loss of control. each time we have been able to get the car safely off the road. tires just disintegrate at side walls. pressures are checked regularly by husband who is a ffa licensed aircraft mechanic. toyota and goodyear deny any like problems. *nm | |||

| Low tire pressure sensor goes off every change of the season in the fall when humidity is high and temperature is low. toyota knows about this as it is one of default selections in the on-line request for service. *tr | |||
