Great news... the fix is out and we have fixed all the vehicles on our lot. We can now sell all vehicles. The Prius glitch is kinda funny, because it isn't as much of a glitch as it is just the electric motor taking a second to pull electricity back to the battery. The brakes work fine, and even last a lot longer than they should. Several cab coimpanies in New York are actually complaining that there is something wrong with their cabs, because at 90K miles in a cab in New York, the brakes still don't need to be replaced. Of course, if you use synthetic in a Prius, the oil doesn't need to be changed until 10K miles. These people that are having issues really need to research their vehicles before they go to the news. It would be like saying "Theres something wrong with my Prius, because the engine just shuts off while I drive down the road, but it keeps on moving foreward. And then, the engine just kicks back on all by itself... IT'S TRYING TO KILL ME!!!" Or the guy we had come in and said the Prius won't come to a complete stop... even though it was at a complete stop. The tires on the computer were still moving, so he kept pushing on the brakes harder and harder. It was funny enough that all of us here explained it several times, and he still wouldn't listen, so we just laughed at how stupid he was.
