Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING 20MPH WHEN A RED ALERT LIGHT CAME ON THE SCREEN ON MY PRIUS; IT SAID GPS UNDERNEATH IT SO I IGNORED IT, THINKING I WOULD BE OK SINCE I DID NOT NEED MY GPS SYSTEM. I SPED UP TO ABOUT 30MPH AND SUDDENLY WAS NOT ABLE TO ACCELERATE ALTHOUGH I WAS PRESSING DOWN ON MY ACCELERATOR. I CAME TO A STOP AT THE TRAFFIC LIGHT ON A GREEN; LUCKILY THERE WAS NO COLLISION. THE ELECTRIC MODE REMAINED INTACT FOR THE NEXT 2.5HRS UNTLI THE CAR WAS TOWED SO I COULD STILL TURN THE CAR ON.
