“While traveling on an interstate highway, the vehicle displayed stop safely now message along with an audible chime and a red triangle with exclamation point symbol. The gas engine shut down and the vehicle lost power coasting from highway speed to around 35 MPH. The vehicle remained under hybrid electric power allowing me to move to the side of the road. My vehicle is around 7.5 years old and has 89,000 miles. I researched this issue and it appears to have occurred with several of these type vehicles. The dealership reported that they retrieved error codes p1aod, p0a3e, b139. …”
NHTSA complaint #10564654, filed 2014-02, 89,000 miles“My vehicle was running perfectly and had just been serviced. I was driving with my wife and children in mild conditions when the stop safely now message appeared at the same time the vehicle lost all power and was in a glide. We luckily made it to the side of the road as we were traveling in the number 1 lane furthest from any place to stop. We were nearly killed by a truck trying to get over to the side of the road. This has happened on 3 other occasions in the following months. All instances but one were on the highway. All put me in a very dangerous situation.”

We coast to the side of the highway. Turn key to off position, start it up again. As we drive off - absolutely no warning - car stops working again and again. This occurred over a dozen times. Losing power on highway, we hit the hazard lights and try to maneuver over to the side of the road, coasting. The worst was coming over 152, hecker pass. Nowhere to pull over. We lost power many, many times with absolutely no warning. …”
