Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: On three occasions my 2004 prius has started without pushing the "start" button. on 11/19/05 two people had gotten into the back seat and closed the doors. i was standing behind the car. it was at night. as i slammed the hatch back door shut i could see the display panel light up in the dark and hear the car start. when i got in the car i only had to put the car in reverse to pull out. the dealer said this wasn't possible. *nm
