| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: The 2005 prius we own will not start at scattered times (after driving for some time and then stopping and turning the engine off). the screen on the dashboard panel lights up partially and not always the same on repeated tries. other strange electrical events occur such as the automatic windows going down when the car is turned off after trying to start it unsuccessfully. the car will start at some time - up to 20 minutes after letting car sit. these events are similar to those that occurred in days prior to the march 29,2005 when the car stalled at 45 mph on a highway in the outer banks of north carolinas and was serviced with what became a recall later for prius's. the most recent problems occurred on march 17th and may 1, 2006. we have taken the car to lustine toyota in woodbridge, va and they have tested the car and say that everything checks out ok and their is no service bulletin from toyota. they are looking at the car again today. we are concerned that the problem could continue and place us in a dangerous situation either from another stalling incident or leaving us in a dangerous place with a car that will not start. *nm |
