I calledToyota# regarding my2014 prius V, I was told there was no problem, that the problem was fixed by software, that the problem was rare, that the software fix solved the problem that my car was not recalled that my car was recalled and fixed....All that in the same phone call!!
I asked why a dealer was suing if the fix was sufficient ? No Comment.
I complained that limping home was not a safe option...was told this was not frequent.
I called NHTSA whose operator had no record of any Prius V problems.
