2012 TOYOTA PRIUS PLUG-IN HYBRID Complaints

WHEN THE DRIVER DOOR IS OPEN, FULL POWER IS ON, BRAKE PEDDLE RELEASED THE CAR WILL STILL MOVE FORWARD. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY. THEN STARTED IN MOTION I STARTED TO GET OUT OF CAR BUT STOPPED IT

WHEN OPERATING THE VEHICLE ON A SNOW COVERED ROAD, I ATTEMPTED TO STOP WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 35 MPH. WHEN I PRESSED MY BRAKE PEDAL DOWN AS I WAS APPROACHING THE INTERSECTION, THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES DID NOT FUNCTION. THE PEDAL PRESS WAS FIRM, BUT THERE WAS NOISE THAT IS TYPICALLY EXPERIENCED WHEN ANTI-LOCK BRAKES ARE IN USE, AND IT FELT LIKE THERE WAS INITIAL BRAKING WITH MY APPLICATION OF THE BRAKES, BUT WHEN THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES SHOULD HAVE KICKED IN, IT FELT LIKE THE CAR SURGED AHEAD AND THE BRAKING MOSTLY STOPPED, EVEN THOUGH I WAS PRESSING DOWN AS HARD AS I COULD. I TRAVELED ABOUT 1/8 MILE DECELERATING FROM 35 TO 0 MPH. THE NEXT DAY I DESCRIBED THE PROBLEM EXPERIENCED WITH MY SPOUSE, AND IN OUR LONG SNOW COVERED DRIVEWAY, I ATTEMPTED A STOP USING THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM AND IT FUNCTIONED CORRECTLY STOPPING QUICKLY. WITH THIS BEING THE FOLLOWING DAY, STARTING THE CAR UP THE NEXT DAY MAY HAVE RESET THE BRAKE SYSTEM, BUT I HAVE NOW WAY OF KNOWING. THERE WERE NO ERROR CODES GENERATED.

CAR WAS PARKED AND THE CHARGE CORD CONNECTED. IT HAD ABOUT 2.9 MILES LEFT ON BATTERY POWER, BY THAT CALCULATION IT SHOULD BEEN CHARGED BY 1100P. AT 1230P CAR WAS FULLY ENGULFED IN FIRE. FIRE DEPT IS INVESTIGATING FOR ARSON, BUT MY NEIGHBORS CAMERA CAUGHT IT ALL (I HAVEN'T SEEN IT) IT SEEMS THE CAR JUST START ON FIRE BY ITSELF, INSURANCE IS STILL INVESTIGATING, BUT I'M ALMOST POSITIVE THAT THIS FIRE STARTED ON ITS ON. IT WOULD BE GREAT IF YOU GUYS COULD FOLLOW UP. MY HOUSE ALSO CAUGHT ON FIRE. HAD I NOT BEEN JOLTED UP AND TRIED TO SAVE MY HOUSE WITH A HOSE, WE WOULD HAVE LOST THE HOUSE ALSO. CAR WAS 100 PERCENT DESTROYED
