SAN DIEGO -- The mystery surrounding a Toyota Prius whose driver reported a stuck accelerator deepened Sunday as the motorist's attorney dismissed a congressional memo that questions his client's version of events
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said Thursday that it had opened a preliminary evaluation of the 2010 Prius after 124 complaints from owners who say their vehicle lurches over bumps or potholes.
Toyota attacked the credibility of a California man who reported that his 2008 Toyota Prius took off last week and stopped only with help from a 911 dispatcher and a California Highway Patrol officer.
Can Toyota clone its golden goose? Or does the automaker's plan to expand the Prius from a single model into a whole family of cars hold pitfalls for the brand and its most-acclaimed vehicle?
