Has anyone else experienced this problem?

Dude this is normal. Prius SKS Syndrome. Well recognized, have you tried pushing the dash to start the car? Have you found that no mater how hard you press on the brake at a stop the ICE will not stop? Have you gotten into you car and put it in gear with out removing the keys from your pocket. Yes you have SKS Syndrome. It is not presently curable, but research in on going. The only hope thus far is that all cars have SKS. Those of use working on the problem live in hope that we can help you drive rental and other cars.

 

Prius SKS Syndrome ...that's funny

I don't have a problem with the keys, it's the brakes. Since our three cars are so different, I forget that the brakes in the Prius grab a little differently than the other cars. It takes me a couple of stops to adjust to it.

However, I get the impression that I'm the only one in the car finding the humor in it... :lol:

 

I'm still without my Prius and in a rental Corolla. This past week I was a complete wreck. Having to search through my purse for the keys, repeatedly touching the door thinking a black button would magically appear, no Nav to watch... The pedals are too sensitive and there's no power button!! It's definitely a tough transition. What's worse is I have seen so many Prii on the road recently! It's too cruel. <_<

 

And the brake does not work! You put it on and nothing happens for a second or more. What is that?

 

I have the problem too.... Almost every time I get in my truck, I leave my key in my pocket- then I have to fish it out! My Princess does spoil me!

 

It’s a new era.

Back when cars first came out with an inside starter, I’m sure many a folk had climbed out of their cars, walked to the front bumper, and bent over . . . expecting to find a crank handle . . . only to hear the engine clankin’ away.

It’s a new era my man, a new era.

Sometimes we must subject ourselves to driving those old clanky cars. :huh:

 

I know how you all feel.

However, I found it strange long 'before' I got my Prius. I'd walk up to my old vehicle in parking lots and jerk on the handle thinking they would open because I'd forget that I'd locked it. I always felt silly.

My Prius understands me and does it like I've expected them to for years. I guess I was ahead of my time in a sad sort'a way.

 

Ditto and ditto. SKS is a great feature but it's spoiled me damn near to death. On the rare occasions I've had to drive our CR-V, I have, more than once, found myself buckled in behind the wheel with no keys! So, it's unbuckle belt, open door, walk back into house, locate fob and key..............Ugh!
