Things are about to get hotter for Mr. Sikes than his brakes. I heard a slightly garbled radio trans that some lab (state, federal, independent?) had tested his Prius, and others, and found that every time the brakes were applied the throttle was disabled, just as Toyota said. They were the same people who had done studies on the suppose self-accelerating Audi 4000 in the 1980s and found that, as they concluded from their Prius tests, the acceleration was driver-caused (like my episode when I accidentally straddled the brake and accelerator with my shoe).
