2008 Prius with new 12 V battery won't shift; lots of warning lights

Two weeks ago to the day, we were frantically going thru all the preps but dodged the bullet by about 60 miles on the weak side. Current projections have it going right down your throat!

 

It's pretty bad....
But won't be a rain event like Harvey though that was brutal. It's a wind event which means no power.
For a long time.
I have to stay for my job. So packed the wife and doggie up and she's in a hotel room in ashville nc tonight.
If no power for long time she will go to New Hampshire and stay with friends. Could be weeks.....sigh...

Stay safe out there. You're one of the brave ones that are staying behind......to work of all things.

 

You didn't DIY the transaxle yourself ?

For the generous tip, you gave him more than the failed part I take it.

 

Nooooo, I don't do anything that requires a lift. Not even oil changes.

 

you could check with triple a i suppose, but if they aren't members here, i don't know how you would go about finding if there is even one in your area. angie's list?

 

This place has a near 5 stars on Google. Website states they service hybrids from multiple brands including Toyota. He's about an hour and some change away from Hampton Grove. Might be worth calling and checking out.

I'd stay away from AAA approved shops.

It was a boring 15 minute break!

Unless the tranny is in fact not at fault then you're definitely looking at more than a 1 day repair. With major repairs like that shops like to drive the car a few days to make sure everything is good before handing back the keys.

Reminds me back when I owned a 2003 Subaru Legacy. That thing was fun as hell, especially in the snow. But they're notorious for blowing head gaskets and sure enough I blew mine. With the design of the Subaru engine you have to pull the engine out and at the time I didn't have access to a hoist so it went off to the shop and I lost it for 2-3 months! I borrowed a pickup truck in the mean time but man did it suck to loose my car.

I don't think it will take that long for yours, mine was mostly because of holidays and that shop is always busy. But car ownership can really suck at times and it'll be good for her to know that while she still has parents immediately available to her that can help her out.

My adoptive parents ditched me a couple weeks after my first cars engine blew up! That f*>€&¥ sucked.

Side note: perhaps you two could make a day of it, if you happen not to find anyone closer. I have no clue how hip that area is but a girls day out would be cool. I know my girlfriend is always looking for reasons to travel two hours up to Eugene Oregon!

 

I hope you are right but...........this is a HUGE storm and is moving rather slowly.
In some places, the water problem might rival Harvey.
In coastal areas, it might actually be worse overall.
Torrential rains PLUS a storm surge.

 

Oh PULEASE.
Are we supposed to believe that this is not a self serving comment ?????
