problem #1

Jan 182014

Prius

  • Automatic transmission
  • 148,000 miles

The engine light came on at 34 thousand miles. After going back to the dealer three times and paying a $50 deductible on a car still under warranty for every visit, they put new injectors in and gave us a car that sounded more like a diesel truck. At 147,000 miles the engine blew up stranding us in an area without clear cell reception. It costed $110 dollars to tow it to the dealer, who for $115 more, to diagnose the problem, they informed us that the engine threw a rod. Duh! That is what we had already told them when we brought it in and they charged us for that. To fix it will cost somewhere between $6,000 to $10,000. They can have that overpriced piece of junk. I went out and got myself a reliable Hyundai Sonata!
