| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I was driving my 2005 toyota prius at about 45 mph when the vehicle went dead. the battery charge indicator went to zero, the engine warning light came on, the master warning light came on, the vehicle stability control warning light came on. i pulled to the side of the road. at first the vehicle would not shut off. after several attempts the vehicle shut down. i restarted the vehicle, and with the engine service light on was able to get it first home, then to a toyota dealer. the dealer said the vehicle needed an "upgrade" to its software and reprogrammed the ecu. ( at no charge to me as the vehicle is still under warranty). if an upgrade was available and required, i feel i should have been notified so that i and my wife were not put at risk. *nm |
