NHTSA Complaint #10640588 — 2007 TOYOTA PRIUS

I WAS DRIVING ON I-10 WESTBOUND WHEN THE RED TRIANGLE LIGHT CAME ON. I PULLED OVER AND READ THE BOOKLET WHICH SAID TO GET IMMEDIATE HELP. I DROVE IT ABOUT 5 MILES AND PULLED INTO WEST COVINA TOYOTA. THEY PERFORMED HEALTH CHECK CODE POA2B AND C23128. SOMETHING WITH THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL OR ASSEMBLY. AFTER 4 DAYS THEY COULD NOT TELL ME WHAT NEEDED TO BE DONE, SO I HAD IT TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT AND PAID $2800 FOR A REBUILT TRANSMISSION. I WAS WITHOUT MY CAR FOR 5 WEEKS! I BELIEVE THAT TOYOTA SHOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO CORRECTLY DIAGNOSE THIS AND IT PROBABLY IS RELATED TO OTHER COMPLAINTS OF EITHER POWER TRAIN OR ELECTRIC OR DASHBOARD LIGHTS. *TR
