Consumer Description

2004 TOYOTA PRIUS DIED AT 65 MPH ON I-395 CARPOOL LANES. MULTIPLE WARNING LIGHTS FLASHED ON. WAS ABLE TO COAST IT OVER AND RESTART FOR A MILE OR TWO WHEN IT COMPLETELY DIED AGAIN. WAS TOWED TO SPRINGFIELD VA TOYOTA DEALERSHIP WERE IT WAS SERVICED. ERROR CODES C2318 (LOW VOLTAGE ERROR - POWER SUPPLY MALFUNCTION), BATTERY CODE 8442 WERE REPORTED. ALSO, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON, FOUND CODE P3791/ENGINE WON'T START. REPROGRAMMED ECU DP0199. CARS SHUTTING DOWN IN HIGH SPEED TRAFFIC IS A CRASH WAITING TO HAPPEN. WE'RE NOT CONVINCED THAT RE-SETTING THE ENGINE CODE IS ENOUGH TO FIX THE PROBLEM. HAS THE ORIGINAL SOFTWARE PROBLEM BEEN LOCATED AND FIXED? DEALERSHIP COULDN'T GIVE US THAT ANSWER.*AK
