Friends: 0 |  Prius shuts down at high speed Hi Everyone, There was a news article about Prius just shutting down at freeway speeds. After some investigation, I noted that there where 13 complaints. Well, out of 10's of thousands of cars, that didn't seem like much of an issue to me. I figgured that Toyota is probably looking into it. Well - this morning, my buddy said it happened to him at 75 miles per hour! Anyone have any more information about this "glitch"? Yoda |

Friends: 0 | Several threads on this, Danny locked one due to too many threads. Maybe the main one should be made a sticky? |

Friends: 0 | Re: Prius shuts down at high speed There should be a TSB out there for this issue. If his vehicle is an 04 made prior to a software update then they dealer should apply the software update and everything should be just fine. |

Friends: 0 | Re: Prius shuts down at high speed Yes - since it happened a couple of months ago and was reflashed, no problems here. But it would have been nice to receive notice before the shut-down occurred. Fortunately nobody was hurt. |

Friends: 0 | That's scary. It reminds me of the old days of PCs when you'd be putting around on a BBS board and all of a sudden your modem would burp and you'd see... asd^54ahyiuq jb^412askh jhak as) (*dhkash kjhasd oqowhlasdj = a-092we jkasd90192we ;ka918q2e jaos9087q2513 q%6912 a07127^%&^86b ,86*&^8 219287V & DISCONNECTED |

Friends: 0 | Re: Prius shuts down at high speed I can VIVIDLY remember when I RAN a BBS and upgraded it's modems from 300 baud to 1200 baud. I remember putting a note on the login screen that said "Now running at a SCREAMING 1,200 bps. But then again - Bill Gates himself once said that he couldn't beleive ANYONE would ever need more than 640k of RAM. 8) Yoda |

I ran a PCBoard 4-node BBS back in 1991 or so!

Ack! I spent over $260 on my ZyXEL 14.4 and didn't feel the least bit foolish. Sigh. Live and learn. | |

Friends: 0 | Heck, I probably spent a grand on my Atari 800 outfit, from the computer itself (can't remember if it was $400 or $600) to the floppy drive ($250), to the printer, and the interface to accept the printer. Then came out a third party floppy drive that held twice as much and cost half. Was smaller too. That Atari was a great machine for what it was. |
