Last month, Toyota recalled more than 400,000 2010 Prius and other hybrids for braking issues.
Now the question arises: Does the Prius also have an accelerator problem? Acceleration issues with a number of Toyota models led the automaker to recall millions of cars in January.
Recent news reports suggest that there may be acceleration issues with the Prius. USA Today writes that there have been two alleged sudden-acceleration incidents involving the vehicles: one in California, where the highway patrol had to assist the driver in stopping his 2008 Prius, and the other in New York, where a woman 's 2005 Prius suddenly accelerated and smacked into a stone wall. The alleged incidents occurred as the automaker insisted that its accelerator problems are mechanical and not electronic, according to 24/7 Wall St.
