Reply #23: I'm having BIG problems with my 2007 Prius (IN ABSENTIA) [View All]

[DemoTex]

I am not a happy Prius camper right now. This problem manifested itself a year ago, while my Prius was under warranty. Now it is not under warranty, but the problem persists: to the point that Dr. D. (in South Carolina) cannot trust or use the Prius while I am here in Oregon. That makes the problem and Toyota totally unacceptable.

This is the problem: about half the time the "READY" light does not come on during the start cycle. Then the Prius WILL-NOT-START, and the transponder-key must be removed from the vicinity of the car to re-cycle the process. Then, half the time, the problem repeats.

Fine. I loved the Prius for three years. Now, given what I hear from the "shop", I'll sell it when I get back to SC. I'll also sell my Tacoma.

I'll buy a big Ford F-350 for next fire season in Oregon and an in-efficient 1964 Porsche 356 C for around town in SC. I am pissed and I can afford both.



Almost EXACTLY like the 1964 SC I sold in 1999.
