MY 2003 PRIUS (FIRST GEN, FROM JAPAN), HAS BEEN THRU A FEW RECALLS - 1 WAS TO SEAL THE BATTERY BETTER EARLY ON (04ISH), THEN IT WAS GIVEN NEW PINION SHAFT NUTS. LATEST ISSUE HAS BEEN AN ISSUE ALL ALONG, JUST NOT DIAGNOSED/FIXED TIL NOW. SOMETIMES THE 'CHECK ENGINE' LIGHT WOULD COME ON, WITH THE CAR/! /TRIANGLE GRAPHIC ON TOUCH SCREEN. THIS TIME IT DIDN'T GO AWAY. LONG STORY SHORT, IT WAS THE ELECTRIC WATER PUMP THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. DEALER SAID IT WASN'T CYCLING PROPERLY, LEAKING ANTIFREEZE; ALSO A BIG HYBRID BATTERY ISSUE WAS SHOWING UP, BUT THEY SUSPECTED WHEN FIXING WATER PUMP IT MIGHT CLEAR UP BATTERY ISSUE. DID RESEARCH, FOUND THIS HAS BEEN A BIG ISSUE FOR A LOT OF PRIUS OWNERS. SAW THE CONSUMER REPORTS & THIS STORY, FROM A TOYOTA NEWS RELEASE. THE FOLLOWING IS EXACTLY WHAT I'VE EXPERIENCED, & MY CAR WAS PART...
MY 2003 TOYOTA PRIUS HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKING VIOLENTLY AND UNCONTROLLABLY, IT USED TO ONLY HAPPEN PERIODICALLY BUT IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME NOW, THIS WAS THE SUBJECT OF A RECALL IN '01 & '02'S AND SOME '03'S BUT MINE IN PARTICULAR WAS NOT INCLUDED ALTHOUGH IT DEFINITELY HAS A PROBLEM-THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND TOYOTA (DEALER OR MANUFACTURER DOES NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT) THEY WANT ME TO PAY FOR REPAIRS. *TR
