Wozniak說:
"我們都聽說過Toyota有加速問題"
"我有很多Prius車型 都被招回過 除了一台新型的沒被招回.
這台新型車加速會變得無法控制(暴走?), 但是只有在巡行車速控制的某種狀態下.
而我可以一次又一次 安全地複製這個現象"
"這是軟體問題, 不是壞掉的加速踏板. 這很恐怖 但至少我還能煞車" 他說道.
"Toyota has this accelerator problem we've all heard about," Wozniak said. "Well, I have many models of Prius that got recalled, but I have a new model that didn't get recalled. This new model has an accelerator that goes wild but only under certain conditions of cruise control. And I can repeat it over and over and over again--safely."
"This is software. It's not a bad accelerator pedal. It's very scary, but luckily for me I can hit the brakes," he said.
這是他在slashdot對此問題的詳細描述
I have owned many Prius's. I currently drive a 2010 one. Let's say that I'm in some place where the speed 85 mph is legal. I can nudge my cruise control speed lever and my speed barely goes up, say from 80 to 81.I nudge at again and again, up to 83. Then I nudge it again and the car takes off, no speed limit. Nudging the cruise speed control lever down has no effect until I've done it about 10 times or more. By then my Prius is doing 97. It's scary because it's so wrong and so out of your normal control. I tested this over and over the night I observed it.
It's scary because you don't think of things like putting the car in neutral when this happens. I am sure you can't turn the car off with the keyless power button, the only option on this model.
Braking does disable this scary cruise control effect. It is a natural response, so the problem is mitigated a great deal.
I have not seen this happen before so I think it's new to the 2010. I have the package which includes parallel parking assist and cruise control distance limiter.
這邊有更多使用者抱怨 看了還有人敢買嗎?
蘋果創辦人沃茲尼克:我的豐田車 也不自主加速
鉅亨網資料中心 (2010-02-03 09:10)
《Bloomberg》報導,蘋果共同創辦人沃茲尼克(Steve Wozniak)表示,他的座車與其它美國豐田車一樣,也有不自主加速的問題。
沃茲尼克接受訪問時說,他個人的2010年式Prius,在巡航模式下會不自主加速到最高每小時97英哩(約156公里)。
他兩個月前向美國國家公路安全管理局(UNHTSA)提出申訴,但迄今未獲得回應。59歲的沃茲尼克強調,「情況發生時,真的很嚇人」。
根據豐田聲明,去年因油門卡住腳踏墊所召回的535萬輛車中,包含2004-2009年式的油電混合車Prius。
但沃茲尼克的Prius為2010年式(有動態巡航),不在豐田的召回檢修之列。
豐田發言人Ririko Takeuchi表示,她個人從未聽有關Prius的巡航系統有類似問題,也不曉得公司是否已對此展開調查。
擁有4輛Prius的沃茲尼克判斷,它的豐田車問題應與軟體有關。他說,已將問題車開到經銷商檢修,並嘗試與豐田本部及美公路安全管理局聯繫。
沃茲尼克呼籲豐田重視其個案,因為同型車可能有同樣的軟體缺陷,甚或與先前的致死意外有關聯。不過他對豐田仍有信心,表示以後還是會買Prius。

今天國內新聞也出了....(恕刪)
定速器也許就是那個問題? 我一直猜想如果腳墊或油門踏板可以去掉一些暴衝的案例,那例外的部份? 我懷疑是定速器,因為老美高速公路又長又寬,車上配上定速器,萬一定速器解除不掉,還是錯誤的干擾讓定速器加速,或是錯誤的啟動定速器....我以前的Toyota Highlander 就有定速器, 只要啟動手將開關往下撥,車子自己就會自動加速,角不需要踩油門,那個感覺很怪,所以我一直不敢用定速,雖然說踩煞車就會解除,但是我心裡就是怕萬一解除不了時那該怎辦? 所以我從來不用, 我現在開的Benz設計就不同,他是限速器,讓你到多少就不會上去以免超速,你腳還是需要踩在油門踏板上.這樣感覺比較實在.
