What owners wrote
I have a 2007 toyota prius. I turned it off and went in the house. When I came out it had gone into my garage door and damaged the front end and the garage door. Obviously accelerated after being shut down.
This is the resolution to an earlier complaint I filed. My NHTSA complaint confirmation number (odi number) is: 10644563. There didn't appear to be a way to amend that filing. To recap. All the emergency lights came on and my prius lost all power while I was driving. It came to a halt. It would not restart. My passengers eventually exited the car and I remained in the car with the flashers and depressed the brakes to further alert oncoming drivers. I was towed home and the next day to a dealer.
