But havent the vast majority of cars that have had "issues", not been Prius cars? So what stopped those people from dropping it in neutral?

I think its a problem with the hybrids computer and the no key in the ignition just a push button start not letting the driver shut the car down while its at highway speeds. The Prius, Camry, Highlander and Lexus LS, GS, HS, RX are all availiable in hybrid form. The only models that im aware of that doesn't have the keyless ignition is the Toyota Trucks.
What bothers me is that they tried to blame the floormats. I think they have major issues with the electronics in the car.
Does anyone here have a Toyota? I'd like to here if you really can't get the car into neutral buy selecting it with the shift lever while at speed.
