Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING UPHILL ON A CURVED, SHOULDER-LESS ROAD, MY CAR SPONTANEOUSLY SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL, CAUSING IT TO LOSE ALL POWER AS WELL AS POWER BRAKE. I ATTEMPTED TO PHYSICALLY HOLD THE GEAR SHIFT IN "DRIVE", BUT THIS DID NOT BRING POWER BACK, NOR DID IT CHANGE THE LIGHT ON THE DASH FROM "NEUTRAL". AT FIRST THE CAR WOULD SHIFT INTO REVERSE, AND I WAS ABLE TO BACK INTO A WIDER PART OF THE ROAD. IT THEN STOPPED SHIFTING INTO ANY GEAR. I ENDED UP HAVING THE CAR TOWED HOME IN NEUTRAL, WITH POOR (NON-POWER) BRAKING. I'VE SINCE DONE A GOOGLE SEARCH AND SEE THAT THIS IS A RECURRENT PROBLEM WITH 200-SOMETHING PRIUSES, BASED ON CONSUMER AFFAIRS, TOYOTA NATION, PRIUS ONLINE, AND CAR PROBLEM ZOO.
