I have tried to send you details and contact details , but that is outside the site rules .
I think my description would be adequate for you , as it very basic . Give it a try , you can do no harm .

Curious is anyone has been able to get a repairable diagnosis or is this just something we Prius owners have to live with. Any help would be great!

Hi , I have a 2004 prius that has this problem in cold weather , when put in yo either drive or reverse, it goes into neutral, I solved this problem at a cost about 20 cents and it took less than 15 mins ,
I posted this solution on this site , and others have followed my method . It always has worked for me and never failed . Look it up on this site ,, or contact me for further information.

I have had this Prius for less than 30 days. Monday I get in the car put it into reverse and it goes into neutral. I had to keep the gear shift pushed up to make it go in reverse. Then I tried to put it into drive and same thing I had to keep the gear shift pushed into drive to make it go forward.
I then parked it and called the dealership. They had never heard of such a thing.
Made arrangements to to have it towed the next day. Of course that evening I started the car again and it did not do it again. I took it in anyway and they could not duplicate the problem.
It has not happened again.
Anyone else had this problem? Any ideas?

brake light switch on the pedel .hold your foot on the pedel lighting up the stop lights it should engage,,,simple fix ,,flat headed screw driver ,, now it is awkward ,you needv to reduce the gap where the switch engages the pedel ..
