Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I own a 2004 toyota prius, 15680 miles. the engine stopped when i was driving at about 60 mph and all warning lights came on. i was able to drive it on the electrical motor for about 1 mile to a gas station before the battery ran out. i had it towed to my dealer, toyota of bowie in md. the next day, it started right up and they said that they checked it and could find nothing wrong with it. this happened a few days before news stories of similar complaints. this is a frightening, and potentially very dangerous problem. i'm surprised and upset that the dealer or toyota has not contacted me with a fix since they have learned about this problem.
