Toyota in the UK has recalled all first-generation Prius hybrids after it was discovered the hybrid battery pack can leak. The leakage, which Toyota says does not pose a safety threat, can affect all models sold in the period of 2000-03 and affects 1,239 petrol/electric….
If memory serves me right (Iron Chef), sometime last year a few American Toyota Prius owners had problems of they cars shutting down on them and it affected over 160,000 vehicles which were manufactured between 2003-04. This problem was rectified by putting in a software patch for the cars computer. But did Toyota give every single US Prius owner here a bottle of Champagne, valeted and topped up, mmh. Not that I want anything, just curious. Good customer service I say old chap, hope some of it crosses over to this side of the pond (if and when a problem arises). So notice is hereby given to all Toyota Prius owners out on the roads of North America youhave been made aware what to expect in return for emotional distress caused due to your hybrid not functioning right.
