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...
TOYOTA CONSUMER SAFETY ADVISORY POTENTIAL FLOOR MAT INTERFERENCE WITH ACCELERATOR PEDAL. I'VE HAD ISSUES WITH THE FLOOR MATS IN MY 2003 PRIUS ALMOST FROM THE BEGINNING OF OWNING MY CAR. WHEN I LOOKED AT THE ILLUSTRATIONS ON THE TOYOTA WEB SITE IT WAS CLEAR THAT THE RETAINING MECHANISM IT IDENTICAL TO THAT OF THE 2004 PRIUS. YET THE MODEL IS NOT BEING COVERED BY THE RECALL. PLEASE CONSIDER EXPANDING THE RECALL TO ALL AFFECTED MODELS AND MODEL YEARS. *TR
