Two problems related to engine shut off without warning have been reported for the 2011 Toyota Prius. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
My Toyota Prius loses power randomly after having the recall fix j0v completed updating the software in inverter. Vehicle stalled 3 times on freeway, highway and off ramp. Dash board lights light up with all warning lights. Vehicle loses power. . . . Can drive a mile or so with almost no power. . . Then vehicle shuts down. Dash panel reads check hybrid system conditions are exactly the same as the ze3 warranty enhancement program describes. However the dtc code is slightly different so dealer and Toyota will not fix inverter. The car is dangerous to drive as the symptoms appear randomly, usually after an acceleration of the vehicle puts load on engine. Pls help me.
The car starts as normal and drives normally but once you start to come to a stop the car shuts off and will only restart when you depress the gas pedal but shuts down again when you release the gas pedal, normal city streets and highway.
