| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I was traveling at approximately 75 mph on hwy 41 in fresno, ca when my 2005 prius had it's incident. all the dash warning lights illuminated, and i saw that i was only runningl on my electric motor. lluckily i was in the right hand lane getting ready to merge onto another freeway, so i put my hazard warning lights on, and almost got rear ended because i reduced my speed and the honda behind me was impatient and riding my bumber. i pulled off the freeway, called aaa, and before they got out, i tried to start the vehicle after about 15 minutes because where it finally died was a bad spot- and the engine kicked right on! i didn't know what happened! the following monday i called my local toyota dealership (michael toyota) and they checked for any recalls and said there is nothing wrong with my car "don't worry about it". then i have been hearing about these other cases coming lately and it sounds like i have a bigger problem. i returned to my toyota dealer and they said that the 4 hours they had left in the day wasn't enough time, so i need to take a day off of work so that i can drive the hour it takes to get there and wait for my vehicle. |
