Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I own a 2001 prius purchased july of 2001 my wife and i have had a near stall so many times we have lost count. the first time was in the first week of purchase 2001 and we have had the car checked and have been told they cannot find the problem since they can not recreate the problem. i guess we have been lucky our prius does not stall completely just slows to 15-37 miles per then we have to stop and wait for the lights to clear. it has gotten to the point where this is happening almost daily. the last time we took it in for service and had them check to find the problem they did not inform us that there has been a problem all along. we love the car as far as mileage and enjoy driving the prius. we have always spoken highly of the toyota corporation but we are getting rather annoyed they cannot fix our problem or the problems of other pruis owners. we would like to know if toyota has sent out a warning to all owners. we have never been notified of any problems and we have owned this car for five years. we had one recall the batteries were redone, but no stall warnings. thank you for your time peter kalous. *nm
