Has there been a problem with the Prime 2017 flashing the red emergency alert for no discernible reason? I’m afraid the car is going to do an emergency stop on the freeway!

The obvious question is since you have a warranty have you talked to the dealer about this problem.

I’m a regular at the very large and very active Prius Club on Facebook. It is not a common topic. You may want to post the question[there](https://www.facebook.com/groups/explorsrilanka/?ref=bookmarks).
