Replying to: falconone (Apr 03, 2005 9:35 am) there is NOT a problem, otherwise there would be a TSB issued. I may be old but I can still read. See post #44 that poster claims there are 18 TSB's on the Prius II. ceric, "Toyota Prius Software Problems" #44, 2 Apr 2005 5:51 am

how do you account for the fact that CR says that owner satisfaction with the 04 Prius is the highest they have ever measured? That is easy. The Prius is a new high tech piece of machinery. It attracts the same people that respond to and support CR. I would bet that a much larger percentage of Prius owners subscribe to CR than say the Toyota Echo or Ford Focus. Those surveys are only as good as the data they get from respondents. I have no doubt the Prius is popular with the owners. Even many that have had them crap out on the freeway and had to be towed still love the car. That does not make it a reliable car just a well liked car. People love VWs and they have more than their fair share of faults. I just bought a new Passat TDI. I just hope that it is a good one. They were rated very high by CR for years in spite of their faults.

You are all but calling the posters that are having problems liars. And you would seem to think that the posters to this list represent the majority of Prius owners... jprice

Let's not let this turn into a personal thing, OK? This topic IS a place where folks who are having a problem can come and talk about possible solutions. We have all kinds of "problems" topics about all kinds of vehicles. The idea of the topics is NOT to cast a positive or negative light on the vehicles, although those kind of comments are invariably going to come up. That's just the nature of message boards. So rather than go off on a tangent about what postings in a problem topic MEAN, let's move on. Thanks for your cooperation and participation! PF Flyer Host News & Views, Wagons, & Hybrid Vehicles
