My Car: Package: Nominated 0 Times in 0 Posts TOTM Awards: 0  Friends: 0 |  Wouldn't go after being stalled in traffic  "Funny thing happened on the way home..."After July 4th fireworks in Dallas, we were stalled in heavy traffic ~10 minutes in "Park" and "Ready" mode, ICE periodically starting to keep the batteries charged. All traffic signals blinking"red" - police controlling traffic movement. When traffic recommenced movement, our Prius wouldn't GO, just beeped. It was necessary to go completely OFF and re-start from scratch twice before the Prius would move. Needless to say, the LOUD HORNS behind us were deafening.  The good news, there are no discenable after effects. Anyone had a similar experience? |

Never happened to me, but I remember getting the beeps before, when I try to do something it wouldn't like (R to D while moving, etc) |

I forgot to step on the brake while shifting to D. Is it possible you simply tried to switch from P to D without braking? |
