In an effort to stay in touch with consumers experiencing sticky gas pedals or runaway hybrid vehicles, Toyota has created two videos that show how you should go about bringing your accelerating Toyota to a stop.

The stopping procedure video for Toyota hybrid vehicles shows how James Sikes claim of a runaway Prius could be a big hoax. Time will tell.

Check out the two videos after the jump.

    We can't fix the problem, so we will make a video to show you what to do if your pedal sticks! What a bunch of frickin idiots

    This proves that Sikes IS NOT a hoax. Or if he is, the CHP is in on it. The CHPie that responded specifically said he smelt burned out brakes. That proves that Sikes was braking. He was also going damn fast, that proves he was accelerating.

    I don't see any problem with that!

    I didn't look at the videos… Shouldn't they be solving this problem instead of just excepting the possibility???

    Few people would know how to handle the situation when your adrenalin is pumping and you are acting on impulse….

    There is no doubt Toyota is a brand by itself,but Toyota are the finest cars in the world.Toyota has the largest share of their products in markets like the US,UAE, Saudi Arabia,Australiaetc.There's hardly any complaint in their products.And most customers are a satisfied lot.
