| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I was driving my toyota prius on the freeway and the vehicle died at 55 mph. the engine light illuminated and there was no power to the accelerator. fortunately, traffic was light and i was able to coast to a secure spot on the side of the road. this happened on the approach to the bay bridge, which would have been a potential disaster had it died on the bridge itself. the car did not start again on my first attempt, but it did start 5 minutes later. i took the car to the toyota dealer and they said they installed new information into the computer. i want to know why, if they know it needs new information, did i not receive a letter asking me to come in for service? this could have been really disastrous, and i fear that it will be for someone else. *jb |
