How long has the prius been on the market and how come all these problems are surfacing now? Things that make you go Hmmmmm. Sharks er lawyers are circling. Kind of hurting for work with all their former victims being driven out of business by their fairy princess in the White House.

My question is: which one of GM's competitors will be targeted next?

My guess is Hyundai...

I wonder why Toyota or anyone else for that matter has not given some advice that might save a life if this situation should occur. In all my vehicles, (old 88 truck and 98 blazer) you can turn the ignition off while the vehicle is moving, but the switch will not turn far enough off to lock the steering wheel unless the transmission is in ‘park’

Seems like a safe way to control the situation to me.

If i had a Toyota, I would even practice this in a safe location.

It’s okay, officer, I had a “misplaced foot”.

Racism works the same way.

When I worked for an electronics company we shipped approximately 1200 devices with a a cable installed incorrectly. The plastic insulation could melt because of its proximity to a component that got very hot, causing a short and a fire.

We knew exactly which dealers had the defective product, most of them having been shipped to dealers in the Southeast, Puerto Rico and Mexico with most having been delivered to a single retailer and still in their distribution channel.

When it hit the media all of the sudden our product was catching fire all over North America. Other unaffected product lines also began catching fire.

Assholes were holding the device over their stove to deliberately melt the cable. We paid thousands of dollars to obvious con-artists in our of court settlements.
