It's starting to get comical. This is a week follow up on message " recalibration of ECU"
They told my wife to come by and pick up the car it was fixed. When she tries to start the car to leave the service center all the same lights came back on. Inother words the same problem, what ever that problem is. The 2nd in command told my wife that they are stumped because all the warning lights come on which makes no sense.
It was 10 days ago it was towed in for the second time. At the beginning of the week they told me that Toyota engineers in California were not responding. This was true for the better part of this week. I was told this morning that the Prius mechanic was in contact with his Prius instructor trying to get a fix on the problem. Then I was told that ah ha the engineers in Cal. had checked in. I'm not privy to what they told the mechanic to try, but I believe it was to reprogram the ECU with new settings. I was told that they were not sure if this would fix the problem, but that the next time the problem occured that my wife could simply drive it in for service. To ignore the warning not to drive the car.
So do you think I have a case yet for asking for replacement Prius. I wonder what my options are here if any. They gave us a Dodge Van to drive in the mean time and fuel prices go up each day.
