    I have a 2010 Prius Hybrid and lately, on an intermittent basis, I will press the brake pedal and push the start button and the dashboard lights up as normal but when I go to put it in gear nothing happens. The last time it happened the fan was running and I couldn't turn it off. It's like the car is all set to go but all the interior controls don't function. I then shut it off and restart it and everything works. Before I bring it to the shop has anyone had any experience with this problem?

    Is the 12v battery original? If it is, most likely the battery has failed, just get a new one.
