Prius Recall: Runaway Prius Story Of Owner James Sikes' Questioned In New Report

"The findings raise questions about "the credibility of Mr. Sikes' reporting of events," said Kurt Bardella, a spokesman for California Rep. Darrell Issa, the top Republican on the House Oversight Committee that is looking into the incident."...

..."The brakes on the Prius also did not show wear consistent with having been applied at full force at high speeds for a long period, the Wall Street Journal reported Saturday, citing three people familiar with the probe, whom it did not name. The newspaper said the brakes may have been applied intermittently."...

..."The memorandum obtained by The AP said when investigators placed the Prius up on a lift, they found the driver side front wheel well was dislodged and the brake pads were worn down. 'Visually checking the brake pads and rotor it was clearly visible that there was nothing left,' the memo said."

This is an outrageous allegation about Sikes - way too preliminary - sounds like Issa is trying to ruin this guy. If Issa is wrong, he should be sued.
