I had the same problem and my video looked exactly like yours. I also took my Prius to the dealers (when I could get it to start) and they said there was nothing wrong. I discussed this problem with my local car mechanic and he came up with the idea that the batteries in my electronic key might be low. Guess what, I replaced the battery with a new one and have not had the problem since.

Eventually I have to call a towing company to tow my car to the dealer. The tow guy jump started the car.
The dealer found nothing wrong with it, give the car back to me and charged me for the towing service.
Dealer claims it's not a battery issue since they load checked the aux battery.
What should I do next? Help! |
