8/2025 Car stalled on freeway. Went to dealer. They said nothing wrong. Then on a trip north, car stalled again on freeway. Went to the nearest dealer. They too said nothing wrong. This time same thing. There is a recall for the exact symptoms of the exact car yet they say the repair was done. Why does my vin not qualify for the exact symptoms that generated a recall? This was super dangerous at freeway speed. Toyota knows there is a problem with the inverter and it's computer. Now I'm paying again for a diagnosis. That makes $750 just diagnosing and now if they actually decide it is the inverter, I have to pay upwards of $3000 even though there is a recall? What the heck?

Engine stalls while driving by model year
What owners say
The car stalls randomly and does not enter fail-safe mode. The dealer says it is the transmission but the transmission has never shuddered or hesitated. I am reading that these vehicles have intelligent power modules in the hybrid inverter that fail and can cause stalling. I feel like the dealership is working with Toyota to avoid addressing the actual problem. In the meantime I was sent home in a vehicle that continues to stall randomly and does not enter fail-safe mode.
The vehicle stalled while driving 35 to 45 mph. Engine had no power but the brakes and power steering worked.
While driving my 2014 Prius V it stalled. I turned it off and restarted it. The yellow car symbol with an exclamation point lit up. I turned the car on and off again. The light went away and I was able to drive home. I was unable to get any OBD 2 codes on my personal reader. I changed the 12 V battery and thought this had fixed the stalling. Then it stalled again and repeated the same process. Though we were able to drove the car I had it towed to a dealership for safety reasons. The dealership pulled codes, cleared them, drove the car 20 miles, and were unable to reproduce the codes. I was told to return when the codes returned. It stalled again and now I am afraid to drive this car.
My car stalled while I was driving it on 2 separate occasions. It is a 2014 w less than 70K miles: 1/2022 Within seconds of 2 or more warning lights going on, the engine stalled. I was able to steer, brake and drive on the electric motor towards home. The electric motor drove another .5 mile before it also died, leaving me with no power steering or brakes. I was on a slight incline and coasted most of the way off road. The car was towed to our local dealer, which said the intake manifold had failed. Dealer replaced IM and related hoses and gaskets. 6/2022 I was driving on a busy interstate at high speed in the passing lane. The car started to lose power and decelerate. I maneuvered to the side of the road and UP! the on ramp. Made it to roadside business on remaining battery power.
