Prius Electrical Break Problems Announced in Japan

I was watching Japan's NHK News a while ago that had a 5-minute report on breaking problems reported over the past several months to the Ministry of Transportation.

Prius, the best selling car in Japan, appears to have problems with its electrical (non-hydraulic) portion of the breaking system at low speeds.

The report didn't say what actions Toyota would take or that Japan's Ministry of Transportation might take. The issue is being studied at the moment.

Unfortunately, this comes soon after the other, non-related, brake pedal problems Toyota has been having with models made in the USA.

Prius doesn't have a breaking system. They don't break.

It's GMs that have built-in breaking systems.

It would have been nice if you had bothered to spell check your message--and the subject of this thread, for that matter.

And it would have been nice if you weren't so petty. You might even had noticed that the message was resent with a correction way before you replied with your juvenile remark.
