| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: 2005 toyota prius went into a sudden engine stalling mode. i do realize that toyota has a recall on such vehicles, but the toyota dealership that i took it to, the same place where i bought the vehicle, that had a "prius expert" has been diagnosing this problem for a day with no answers / anticipated fix date. this is annoying to say the least, as toyota does not seem to have taken the time to train it's dealerships on their own recall information. i could steer and operate the vehicle in electric only mode. pressing the power key would not power off the car. hence the battery started to drain. opening the passenger door and pressing the power key, seemed to have been able to stop the car, not sure whether this was timing, or some coincidence. starting the car again, made the gasoline engine come on for the purpose of replenishing the charge for the battery, with the dash still displaying the same issues. also, pressing the accelerator again, does not raise the rpm of the gasoline engine. its stalling continues after a power cycle. *ak |
