Prius trouble?

I love my Prius. It is the perfect car for me. Today, however, I was driving home and is was slightly snowing. Suddenly, the highway traffic was all braking and my car wouldn't stop. I pulled into the shoulder and hit the brakes. I expected to crash because I was driving fast on the shoulder in snow. But I did not lose control at all. I couldn't stop but the ABS didn't kick in and there was no fishtailing or skidding. I just couldn't stop. Eventually, the brakes kicked in and I managed to stop. But it was still very scary.

Oh my gosh, that's scary!!! Isn't that the issue that the Toyotas were having, or was that only the opposite, that the accelerator got stuck? Will the dealer possibly fix it for free?

Definitely contact the dealer. I'm glad you had a lot of tricks up your sleeve to be able to stop.
