Consumer Description

I was driving my 2012 Prius on the highway at around 55 MPH. The Hybrid System Warning came on and the car lost all power and immediately began to coast. I was fortunate not to have been in or caused an accident but cars behind me had to swerve to avoid hitting me. I was able to coast to a middle median lane. After waiting 15-20 minutes, the car never regained power. We were finally able to push it off the road and into a parking lot. It never regained power.
