Description of the problem	Around 2:00 am on fwy 101 north/south division point, car suddenly lost its power and accelerator stopped working and stopped in the curving area on fastest lanes. I turned my key on/off for 5 times lights on the panel was on but accelerator was not working at all for 30 min so i called police and aaa towing. When finally aaa came and talking on the phone, the car started to accelerated again. It was very dangerous situation as my car was forced to park on the fastest lane on the curving area at 2:00am and many trucks and cars were driving 90 miles/hour. 4-5 cars were yelling at me "it is very dangerous to park your car right here !" and some male drivers offered me for help but i told them that i was waiting for police (as i was more afraid to get a help from strangers.) this incident could cause a very serious injuries or death. Next day, i took my car to toyota northledge but they said there was no problem of this car. I read the "recall" of toyota prius 2010-2014 about inverter problem which cause the power failure but tim/service manger told me that "your vin # is not covered with this issue." therefore, he can not do anything about it.
