2016 Toyota Prius V Vehicle speed control Problems

“While slowing and pulling into a parking space, in front of the dentist office where my wife had an appointment, the vehicle suddenly accelerated. It jumped the curb, and she steered hard right to avoid the building directly in front oh the parking space. She sideswiped the front of 2 vehicles parked next to the space she was moving into, and the car continued toward the street. It hit the curb going out of the parking lot and the car finally stopped. A person came to the drivers side of the car and asked my wife if she was ok, and said she should turn the car off - which she did.”

“While parking my vehicle and slowing down to enter a parking space, I eased off the brake to pull into the space when I heard the engine rev loudly and then the car accelerated and continued to accelerate despite attempts to pump the brakes, release the brakes without touching any pedal and also trying to put the transmission into park. The vehicle would not stop at all. I was afraid for my life and tried everything to avoid other vehicles and pedestrians as the car accelerated greatly. …”

“Car was driving fine one day and then while driving down the interstate I had the Pre collision system malfunction error, Brake light came on, Cruise will not operate, ABS light is on. After much research it seems Prius V has a common issue with brake booster faulting.”
