My 2009 Prius stopped in the middle of a very busy road on a Friday afternoon. Worst part was locked into P so I could not shift it into N to push it out of traffic. I turned on the hazard lights and stood 50 feet from the back of the car warning cars in my lane to change lanes. Most folks got the idea after seeing my car dead (the hazard lights were not easy to see in the bright daylight), but some folks just ignored me and drove all the way up to the back of my car. LOL Out of the 100s of cars, 2 kind gentlemen came to help and realized I could not get into N to push it out of the way... the last gentlemen said we could force into N ifwe removed the center console. In the meantime, tow truck was called and hopefully they called Police to help direct traffic around my dead 'once very trusty' Prius. Finally jiggled the gear knob back and forth as the second gentleman suggested and it went to D, then to R and quickly lit up N and back to P. Once I saw N light up temporarily, I felt hope and just kept at it... When N lit up, we pushed the car into a driveway/parking lot. Big relief!!! Very grateful to the two gentlemen that stopped to help!!! Got my car towed home and leaving it there for now. The Red triangle of death appeared as well as the (!) in a yellow circle, VSC, check engine and the low tire pressure lights were on right after the car died... oh, the area where the D, R, P, and N lights were went crazy and blinking but no D, R, P, N lights appeared... just a bunch of horizontal blinking dashes (short lines). Any idea what caused this? Glad I was not driving to the airport on the interstate! Need to do that tomorrow with our other car!!!

I had a similar issue. It died me on right at the light . Stuck in park and steering wheels locks up . I would turn it off and on and the steering wheel would go back to normal but shortly after the engine turns off and the steering wheel locks up .

@@alejandropena5658 Hopefully your Prius is running normally again. I got my car towed home and have not even tried to drive it as the thought of it locking up on me has scared the daylights out of my normally 'laissez-faire’ bravado. LOL With a mechanic friend’s OBD he pulled the U0293 code (lost communication with hybrid vehicle control system) and waiting to hear back from him as to what to do next. Looked up many U0293 links, all says to check various and numerous fuses, etc… The car starts now that he cleared all the codes, but glad it did not lock up on me driving on the interstate at 70 mph!!! What have you done about it??? blue skies and good luck!

One thing bro missed that i wanted to add. A few days ago my prius 2007 suddenly gave me a red traingle error(battery error) with check engine light, yellow abs sign, a yellow exclamation mark and the handbrake sign. The car couldn't be placed on D, R or B. The only gear that worked was the N. The mechanic who came to fix the car removed a cell from that orange thing that's attached to the hybrid battery cleaned it up and placed it back inside fixed the error.
