Consumer Description

THE COMBINATION METER ON MY 2006 PRIUS HAS AN INTERMITTENT ELECTRICAL SHORT. THIS RESULTS IN THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS GOING OUT WHILE THE CAR IS MOVING. THIS PROBLEM WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM ON THE PRIUS CAN RESULT IN THE BRAKES ON THE CAR FAILING. IN ADDITION THE CAR OFTEN CONTINUES TO STAY ON AFTER WE TURN IT OFF. THIS IS ALSO A SAFETY HAZARD. TOYOTA HAS REFUSED OUR REQUEST TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE COMBINATION METER, EVEN THOUGH THIS IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM.
