Consumer Description

I TOOK MY TOYOTA PRIUS IN FOR THE RECALL NOTED IN PE05029 AND SINCE HAVE LOST 8 MILES PER GALLON IN PERFORMANCE. I CONTACTED TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE TO LET THEM KNOW AND ASKED IF THEY COULD TELL ME IF OTHER CUSTOMERS WERE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. THE REPLY WAS THAT CUSTOMER SERVICE INFORMATION IS PROPRIETARY AND THAT THEY WOULD RECORD MY COMPLAINT BUT COULD GIVE ME NO FURTHER INFORMATION. I AM NOT SURE THE CAR WOULD STILL MEET THE EPA MILEAGE RATING ORIGINALLY GIVEN. *NM
