ABS ECU Malfunction-Dealer wants 3300.00 to replace??

Well I think if anything they are angry that the 'pristine' Prius was 'molested' (their words) by someone causing it damage after never having a single thing wrong with it until that very day, but yeah I see how it sounds and appears Sagebrush... and annoying I do agree. I'm done with it, as I respect you all and have learned so much and I'm so relieved and the resolution/fix was so small compared to what it could have been.. it can just remain a mystery I don't care.. I'm out of the blame game completely now, done with it.

 

Good point JC, and well taken. Absolutely how it is 'due' on a car 10 years old, something was bound to finally happen anyway..

Yeah these dang appliances (expensive ones like refrigerators!) can cause us so much heart burn!! Been there too ugh !!

 

Interesting point, and I can see how that could happen.

 

Sagebrush, my sister is too.. Diehard whirlpool everything..

 

That almost sounds like me, I have maybe had 3 refrigerators my entire life too, but haven't really been loyal to a specific brand. That is pretty good you got 200 bucks out of a 20 YO frig that was still working too! I have an energy reader that I bought and I am going to start checking energy consumption on my appliances/TVs/etc. so I can see where the vampires are.. yes I would think a good frig is saving a lot of food waste!

I have never heard of a Roper so that is interesting, and the one I just purchased is an LG model. I had a bathroom remodel in my townhouse and my washing area was in the garage and I hated it, so when I did a bathroom remodel, I pulled out one of the sinks and installed a washer/dryer combo. It always amazes people that one unit can do both (and it's ventless as I didn't have a vent in the bathroom) and it's supposed to be energy efficient and all of that, I am really enjoying it.. it does seem the technology should be there as why are we bending over and taking stuff out of one 'box' and putting it in another 'box' right?

 

I will cross my fingers that nothing goes wrong for a while anyway!

I know it uses steam technology instead of the venting system.. seems to work too. I take the clothes out and they feel slightly dampish but within a couple of minutes they are completely dry because the 'steam' feel was still left in the clothes.. Works great actually here's the link: LG WM3997HWA: Front Load Washer Dryer Combo | LG USA

 

I remember that is how my mother did it when I was very young, and my grandmother too.. and I do remember that sunfresh smell that you can only get from having clothes dried naturally outside! I wish I could do that but I live in a townhome and they have their strict HOA rules about hanging anything outside on our patios/decks as some have tried it. I wish I could do that sagebrush, I really do. I hope to move in a couple of years and get out of that place.

 

That is interesting. I wish I could figure out the cost of the combo over traditional units, like that article did with the heat pump dryer. I suppose I could do that would take a little time to figure it out.
