According to the New York Times, NHTSA regulators announced that they would open an investigation into the braking problems of the 2010 Prius hybrid, after Toyota said there were problems with the car’s anti-lock braking system. NHTSA said it would examine reports from Prius owners of a momentary loss of braking capability while traveling over an uneven road surface, pothole or bump. At least 124 reports have been filed by consumers, including four reports involving crashes.
