Toyota denies Prius braking problem is safety issue
Company suggests ‘driver error’ may be to blame as damage to firm’s value is put at $4bnToyota denied today that brake problems on its Prius hybrid cars were a safety issue in Britain despite speculation in Japan that the crisis could deepen tomorrow if the company recalls 270,000 vehicles in the US and Japan.In a defiant move, executives assured the Department for Transport’s Vehicle and Operator Services Agency (Vosa) that the latest problem to affect its cars, in which a software glitch in the third generation Prius affects the brakes on rough and slippery surfaces, does not endanger drivers.It claimed the problem might be caused by “driver error”, but Vosa reserved the right to insist on a recall if it concludes the problem poses a danger. One Prius driver said his car surged into the wrong lane at a roundabout when he pressed the brake, forcing him to swerve violently to avoid oncoming traffic.More than 8m Toyotas are already being recalled worldwide after it emerged last month that an accelerator problem was causing cars to speed out of control. Hundreds of thousands more could be taken off the roads if the Prius problem is considered worthy of a recall. Today, damage to the manufacturer’s value was calculated at around $4bn (£2.56bn) by Brand Finance, which publishes an annual ranking of the world’s most valuable brands.There have been at least 100 complaints about the Prius braking system in the US. Toyota said it sold 6,689 of the potentially affected third generation Prius cars in the UK between August and the end of January. It could not say how many complaints it had received so far in the UK.”Customers have reported that under certain braking conditions, such as when hitting a bump, pothole or driving on a low-grip surface, they notice a change in the brake feel,” it said.
