Consumer Description

ON MY 2005 TOYOTA PRIUS, THE ENGINE SUDDENLY STALLED WHEN LEAVING THE DEALERSHIP IN FRESNO, CALIFORNIA. THE ELECTRIC ENGINE CONTINUED FOR A SHORT TIME TO GET BACK TO THE DEALER, THEN EVERYTHING WAS DEAD. AFTER WORKING ON IT FOR SEVERAL HOURS THE DEALER COULD NOT FIND THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM, BUT DID GET IT OPERATING AGAIN AND I CONTINUED THE TRIP WITH INCIDENT.
