I just heard about the recall of all Toyotas, including the Prius, for a problem with the floor mat on driver's side affecting the accelerator and causing possible unintended acceleration. Hmmm. I have the thick all-weather mats specifically made for the Prius that I bought in the Toyota Parts store at the dealer immediately after buying my 2008. I will definitely have it checked out. Anyone else already talked to the service department?
There is another thread discussing this recall. http://priuschat.com/forums/prius-hybrid-news/69733-toyota-recall-3-8-million-vehicles.html This thread will remain active to provide more search results for those looking for information.
