    Hi everybody,
    I woke up this morning and when I drove my 2006 Prius with ~170k miles, a few things went wrong:

    -dash display (speedometer, odometer, etc.) wouldn't turn on
    -the touch display worked fine but wouldn't show fuel consumption
    -the car would not turn off, eventually it did turn off normally but the second time I drove it I had to hold the power button and then double tap
    -the hatch would not open (using key fob, hatch button, or driver's side unlock button) with the car on, but when I turned the car off and unlocked it the hatch would open

    I'm hoping these are all symptoms of one problem since they started at the same time. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Hold power button down for 3 or four seconds. The car will shut off though your center display may still be on. If it is, press the power button three times quickly ( without your foot on the break pedal, you can have the emergency break on)
    That will shut everything down

    Since I'm having all the same symptoms, I wondered what you ended up doing to correct the problem.
