Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: On four different dates, 5/01, 8/9/01, 8/10/01, 8/19/01, the above mentioned prius has lost power in interstate traffic causing driver to move to the shoulder of the road and proceed on battery power to next exit. this would be a very dangerous situation in areas of our state where highways are under construction and concrete barricades take the place of shoulders. after the fourth incident the dealer is ordering some replacement computer part. we are concerned about the frequency of this problem with other similar vehiciles since they are new to the united states driving community.*ak
