Believe it or not--I tried to find a Toyota newsgroup to post this message but failed. If you have a Toyota Prius or if you have any relatives or friends that have a Toyota Prius--be advised of the following information.
I heard a news report today indicating that some gov't agencies and Toyota is investigating a major problem related to Toyota Prius vehicles.
They have a stalling problem.
Those people that own Toyota Prius vehicles should take their vehicles to the nearest Toyota dealership if their Prius vehicles have a stalling problem.
If your Prius has NOT had any stalling problems, discuss this issue with the service department manager the next time you are due for service.
There may be more info. about this issue in the newspaper during the coming 3 days.
