I'm not sure on the 2010. But on the Gen-II Prius if the battery temperature gets too hot, it will stop allowing use of any all-electric drive....
I think if a speed sensor came loose, you would have a lot more problems showing up, such as an ABS warning light, or the speedometer not reading...
Not sure if it is the problem or not. But I know the fuel gauges have to be calibrated. You don't need a technician to do it. I believe there...
Well, it would certainly make for an interesting experiment. I'm not sure I'd be willing to shell out that kind of money without having a better...
I have also heard the round cells did not hold up well. Interestingly enough, Honda and Ford still use round cells in their hybrids. (not sure...
You know, that is an interesting idea I had not considered. Most of the problems people report with the Enginer system are from the charger, BMS,...
There is going to be a gathering of hybrid and EV owners in Arlington, TX in July. A website has just been setup for the event, there are forums...
As far as the original post is concerned, if enginer goes out of business and the DC-DC converter fails, what do you do? Well, my suggestion...
Interesting thread. We just got our Leaf a few weeks ago. We were one of the first in Texas to get it. I've been watching the Prius PHV model...
My 2008 Prius (with enginer kit) does this as well. In the morning I drive along in EV mode for several miles until I reach a street where the...
Since there is no EV mode button, if you get in the car and drive it 4 or 5 miles down the road at 40 mph, will the engine be on during that time?...
This is all information most of us here are already aware of. Sorry to hear about your dealer problem.
40 to 45 mpg is pretty normal with a Gen-1, in my experience. if it is really cold like you are saying, that could easily account for the 5 mpg...
Obviously everyone will have their own opinion. I think that overall (compared to most cars on the road) the 03' prius is very reliable....
I was about to say the same thing. It could very likely be the technician looking for some juicy income. Techs make virtually no money on...
Unrelated vehicle, obviously, but my 2010 Honda Insight would always do that. It would run the engine constantly when in park, even if it was off...
I'm not even sure how you could possibly drive the car with the lid open to begin with.
Re: First Chevy Volt EV hybrid taken home from dealer today, 360 will be delivered over the next wee I'm getting tired of all of these...
I can concur with the smell. It comes from the DC-DC converter, not the batteries. It only starts to smell once it heats up. It will eventually...
Here's how I keep mine ventilated: [IMG] The newer kit actually comes with a little round area that you can attach a hose to. I actually...
