Car Forum / Toyota / Prius / January 2008Software Issues
Are owners still having problems with the software or has Toyota fixed that? I have read where the programming pretty much would shut down the vehicle. Also, are there any issues with the generators that are used for braking? Thanks! Rosscoe > Are owners still having problems with the software or has Toyota fixed that? The reported problems with the 2001 and 2004 model years were repaired when the cars were brought in under warranty. It was a completely free, warranty repair. > I have read where the programming pretty much would shut down the vehicle. Identify the source? It is very much out of date and inaccurate. We need to know to make sure we can warn you and others away from such incomplete reporting. > Also, are there any issues with the generators that are used for braking? None at all but we call them motor-generators. There are two in each Prius and they work great.

I'd like to hear where you "read" that the programming would "pretty much shut down the vehicle". 'Cuz in all my research and in owning the car for almost a year now, that has never, ever come up even as a remote suggestion. >> Are owners still having problems with the software or has Toyota fixed >> that?

Here are the sites I was referring to: http://townhall-talk.edmunds.com/direct/view/.ef64fbc http://townhall-talk.edmunds.com/direct/view/.f13e971 - read past the first post on this page. http://townhall-talk.edmunds.com/direct/view/.ef64fbc/0 - this is the first page of the forum. http://townhall-talk.edmunds.com/direct/view/.f0db60b/0 - this page starts the thread on the brakes. I'm hoping that these are old posts WRT to the software issues. Thanks! > >> Are owners still having problems with the software or has Toyota fixed > >> that?

Old posts and dead issues. A dead 12V battery will prevent a Prius from starting, same as any other car. > Links?

It happened to mine twice, there was a recall for the problem, and it's been fine ever since.

I bought my 2008 two weeks ago. Its fine. I have never heard of any software problem with it or issues with the braking. Thanks for the info. I was hoping this was the case but wanted to double check. Rosscoe > Are owners still having problems with the software or has Toyota fixed > that?
