NHTSA Complaint #11113651 — 2007 TOYOTA PRIUS

I WAS DRIVING MY 2007 TOYOTA PRIUS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT AND ALL OF THE SUDDEN ALL OF MY LIGHTS WENT OUT. I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY ROAD AND COULD NOT SEE ANYTHING AND DECIDE TO JUST PULL OFF THE ROAD AND HOPE NOT TO HIT ANYTHING BECAUSE I JUST WANTED TO GET OFF THE ROAD BEFORE I GOT HIT BY AN ONCOMING CAR. AFTER I GOT OFF THE ROAD FOR AWHILE I TRIED THE LIGHTS AND THEY BOTH WORKED. I TOOK MY PRIUS TO A STATE COLLEGE, PA DEALERSHIP AND THEY CHARGED ME $450.00 BECAUSE THEY SAID BOTH HEADLIGHTS WERE OUT. THE NEXT DAY AFTER I PICKED MY PRIUS FROM THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP I WENT TO A GROCERY STORE AFTER WORK AND THE CAR WOULD NOT TURN OFF AND THE WHOLE DASHBOARD WAS BLACK.. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND SAID THEY MUST HAVE CREATED A SHORT IN MY CAR AND THEY SAID BRING IT BACK IN. THE NEXT DAY THEY TOLD ME THE WHOLE CLUSTER SYSTEM THAT CONTROLS THE DASHBOARD WAS BAD AND THEY WOULD BE CHARGING ANOTHER $680.00.
