Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: My 2001 prius has always been stalling (at least 30 times), usually upon startup, (and especially in hot weather when ac is on at startup) but on 4 occasions, stalls occurred during critical driving in dangerous areas resulting in total power loss and near death experiences. i informed toyota president watanabe, and they recalled for the "crankshaft position sensor", to fix the stalling problem, but it obviously didn't fix situation because car is still stalling. dealer is beyond ignorant and clueless and no longer worth talking to, as they are as informed as a rock on a cliff. i am wondering if dealer even performed the recall fix properly. would like a trustworthy toyota technician from japan's tmc (a japanese person) to personally inspect my car.
