Prius 4-cyl

  • 10,000 miles
Having a car accident on highway. This accident raises the concern about safety issue of Toyota Prius.one part of main battery cable underneath the car was not well protected or covered. When a solid object right hitting the cable with blast sound, the cable was broken apart., we lost all the power, the car totally was dead on the highway. We have 3 people in the car, my 85yr old mother, my wife and me. It is horrible.
