Prius Sedan

  • Automatic transmission
  • 100,000 miles

At high speed, the car slipped into neutral or actually brakes without me knowing. The car slowed down causing me to have to go to the breakdown lane when I could. However, when the car goes into brake, the steering wheel locks up so you cannot steer; you have to push it into D to get it to steer again and be on your way. That is, if you see it. Because I did not notice the gear lights, my car was in B for a long time before it started to decelerate and that must have done a number on my brakes.
