Not sure why people would be more prone to ignoring a flashing CEL or low oil pressure light in a Prius than other vehicles. Both require immediate shutdown of the engine.

It's pretty amazing. In my experience, most Prius drivers are not "car people". They see something intermittent on the dash, and they think, "Hmm... car feels fine. I'm sure it's nothing."
Encountered a young man who had the red triangle. Went to Autozone, no codes. Continued driving for 2 weeks with it in and out of limp mode. Finally, he heard a gunshot go off in the cargo area. It ran better after that moment, but once stopped the car wouldn't start anymore.
