The dude in San Diego, claiming his Prius wouldn't stop is completely full of **** and is basking in his 5 minutes of fame, and looking for a payoff, right ???

can someone please explain to me why the people with this issue aren't simply shifting into neutral? Why are the police telling him to jam on the brakes and using the squad car to slow the Prius down...simply shift to neutral and drift to the side of the road, problem solved. The engine might blow, I don't know, but its still better than risking your life and others, driving out of control at high speed.
Am I missing something?

I'd slow down a Prius, ala Fred Flintstone,

Guess he could not think fast on his feet to put in neutral and pull the emergency brake.

I tend to believe the story whether it is related to the other Toyota problem or not - wait to hear.

What is worse are the several class action lawsuits that are working on behalf of toyota owners who are claiming that their current problems have negatively hurt their resale values.

He drove over 30 miles and probably had 10 minutes to think about putting it in neutral before the cops finally got him stopped.

I heard part of the 911 call on TV and the person answering his 911 call made that suggestion to him, but I did not catch his whole answer other than he was worried about the car flipping for some reason and something about putting down his cell phone.
