Consumer Description

MY 22-YEAR-OLD SON HAD A SCARY INCIDENT IN WHICH OUR 2005 PRIUS STALLED SPONTANEOUSLY ON THE BRONX RIVER PARKWAY (VALHALLA, NY) WITH SEVERAL DASHBOARD WARNINGS LIGHTING UP. THE HYBRID SHIFTED TO BATTERY MODE IN TRAFFIC. LUCKILY HE WAS ABLE TO GET OFF HIGHWAY. CAR WAS TOWED TO DEALER. WE'RE VERY CONCERNED BECAUSE THE CAR NEVER HAD PROBLEMS AND BECAUSE, ON AN INTERNET SEARCH, WE SEE THE FAILURE WAS PRECISELY LIKE THE ONE DESCRIBED IN NHTSA REPORT THAT RESULTED IN A TOYOTA ACTION TO SERVICE MANY CARS IN 2005: HTTP://J.MP/NHTSAPRIUS05PROBLEM. *TR
