| On september 26, 2007, toyota filed a defect information report and notified nhtsa that some of its model year (my) 2007 and 2008 lexus e350 and toyota camry vehicles could experience unintended and uncontrolled acceleration due to interference between the optional all weather floor mat offered on those vehicles and the vehicles' accelerator pedal.this decision was influenced by an office of defects investigation (odi) engineering analysis.this recall was designated 07e082.two years later, on october 5, 2009, toyota filed a defect information report and notified nhtsa that a number of its my 2004-2009 lexus and toyota vehicles may also experience unintended and uncontrolled acceleration due to interference between the accelerator pedal and the driver's floor mat.this recall was designated 09v388.several months later, on january 27, 2010, toyota filed an amended, or supplemental, defect information report and expanded the population of vehicles to include additional my 2008-2010 toyota and lexus vehicles.since this expansiontook place in a different calendar year, this recall was designated 10v023.separately on january 21, 2010, toyota filed a defect information report and notified nhtsa that certain toyota vehicles and certain pontiac vibe vehicles contained a safety defect in the accelerator pedal assembly that may cause the accelerator pedal to become harder to depress, slower to return, or in the worse case, mechanically stuck in a partially depressed position.nhtsa designated this recall 10v017.in total, the four recalls cover over 7.6 million toyota and lexus vehicles as well as the pontiac vibe product made by new united motor manufacturing, inc., a venture of toyota and general motors corporation.nhtsa requires additional information from toyota to more fully understand and evaluate, among other things, whether the scope of the recalls identified above (makes, models and model years) is sufficiently broad.the agency is seeking to determine whether toyota viewed the underlying defects too narrowly as interference between the accelerator pedal and the driver | ||||||

| I own a 2008 prius. i have complained twice to my toyota dealership that at times, when braking on a bumpy road it feels as if my brakes momentarily release. some times it will take your breath away. i will not allow my daughters to drive this car because of the uncomfortable sensation. i know the car will stop (it always has) but for a split second it is frightening. both times i have been told by my toyota dealer that it is the anti-lock brake feature kicking in. once they test drove it for about 15 minutes and said there was no problem. i drive it daily and i may only experience it twice a week. 15 minutes will not tell them anything. | |||

| 2008 toyota prius. on jan 29, 2010, i was slowly pulling into a parking stall when the excellarator engaged and the car surged forward. i applied the brakes and nothing happened. i let off the brakes and slammed them on harder and the car would not stop. my car hit the side of a am/pm arco station building. i turned it into my insurance and paid the $500 deductible. my car was taken to dealership and they could find nothing wrong at that time. the car has not surged since. | |||

| 2008 prius hid headlights failing. starting at around 48,000 miles. can't they make a headlight for about $20 instead of even the $150 that they want just for the bulb. toyota should at least offer free labor to replace the bulb. can't believe they can't make a cheaper bulb that should last about the lifetime of the car. *tw | |||

| This pertains to any hybrid vehicle. while walking past one in a mall parking lot, the driver started to back out. since the engine does not engage at this speed, there is no audible warning to pedestrians and if the driver is not paying enough attention, the pedestrian could be injured. *tr | |||
