Prius braking recall

UncleWede · 02-05-2010, 11:28 AM

OK, I heard it on Fox News, so that could be a problem. . . but

"The new Prius system complaints to NTHSA list braking difficulties in wet conditions and in potholes"

ORLY?????? How fraking STUPID are drivers these days. IN a pothole you lose some braking ability??

priuses don't need brakes since they can only go 5 mph.

My work has one, and when I took it to a conference in Pechanga, it flew fairly well down the freeway, 85-90 was no problem with just me in the car.

But come one, it doesn't matter which car company makes the car, it won't stop well IN A POTHOLE.

Why would anyone want to stop IN a pothole? And where are there potholes so big you can stop in them?
