    Does anyone know how the HVAC could cause the problems described? I'd be a bit wary that this is being misdiagnosed. How many other times have we seen cases where the inverter coolant pump fails and it overheats, then once it cools down they cant see that problem anymore and they diagnose something else. Maybe even just something "random" that they can charge some money for?

    Also does HVAC mean "Heating, Ventilating, and Air Conditioning" or "High Voltage Air Conditioner" as in the main compressor that runs from the high voltage battery?

    HVAC... or ECU? :blink:

    I'm in total agreement about finding a new boyfriend. Take a loss on him and move on. Find someone that adores you, respects your space and your stuff, and who volunteers to pamper your Prius.

    That's why I wasn't sure if he said HVAC. He woke me up with my phone going off...so I don't remember. I know it was an abbreviation, and he used letters. But then he said it's the system that changes from hybrid to fuel. lol

    I know right! He always makes fun of my car since I'm from California. When he tells people "She drives a Prius" following that usually is "You can laugh."...

    Haha, you can trick him to go to Hybridfest and then introduce to people saying "He drives a truck"... you don't even have to say "you can laugh". :p

    ....."Your Boyfriend is a Jerk"...

    That'll do....

    Why is it "his" responsibility? It's her vehicle.

    He's the one that drives it if we are going somewhere. He treats my car like crap, drives wreckless, slams on the brakes, puts the gas pedal to the floor when a light turns green, acts like he's trying to drift my car. But if I want to drive he gets pissed.

    Yeah, you'll notice the forum is good at zooming in on the real and not the stated problem. :D

    Plus I would think that someone would have the respect to care for another persons vehicle... I would think that'd be their responsibility to treat it respectfully...but I guess I could be wrong...
