2005 Toyota Prius Owner Comments

My wife and I bought a new Prius in early March of 2005. My wife was coasting to stop (around 5 mph) for a stop sign and when she put her foot on the brake the car started to accelerate. She came to a stop after hitting another car head on. Before she hit the car (she also sideswiped another car) she was able to look at her feet to confirm that she was indeed pressing on the brake pedal.
