I PURCHASED A 2002 TOYOTA PRIUS IN APRIL 2002 AND WITHIN THE FIRST TWO MONTHS THE VEHICLE STOPPED WHILE ON THE FREEWAY AT 65+ MPH AND THE GAS ENGINE WOULD NOT WORK, I HAD TO DRIVE ON THE ELECTRICAL MOTOR. IT WAS REPAIRED AT THE TOYOTA DEALER IN CARLSBAD, CA. THIS IS THE SAME ISSUE THAT WAS REPORTED IN THE PRESS TODAY.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE STALLED. IT WAS DIFFICULT TO GET THE VEHICLE RESTARTED. *NLM ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, THE VEHICLE STALLED OUT. VEHICLE STALLED OUT FOUR TIMES, AND THE LAST TIME IT CAUSED AN ACCIDENT AND THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. *TT *JB
