Hi DanMan, and thanks for your post. Sorry for frustrating you! Believe me, I would love to get more details about my CVT. The dealership...
As far as I can tell, nothing at NHTSA. But I think this might be the edge of the sword. Our guess is this failure is most likely to occur after...
An update: So far, Erik and I have documented six other 2001 Prius owners who have experienced this problem. Four (including us) have...
Thanks! Do let me know. I think it's unlikely that Erik, me, and the three over on the yahoo! prius groups are the only ones...
I wish I could expand--at this point, I can't. All they will tell me is, "It's the 'transmission.'" They categorically refuse to tell me if it...
I have found two others, besides myself, who have experienced catastrophic failure of their transaxle system in their 2001 Priuses: one at 1100...
Huh--thanks xevious. That hints toward the notion that replacing the... whatever it is may not even fix the problem, if further damage is likely...
It is a Classic (by which I'm gathering we all mean a 2001-2003! It's a 2001.) And beats me how it can need a new transmission... for my tale of...

For those who are still interested in the fate of my <80,000 mile, 2001 Prius's transaxle debacle, an update: Or a nonupdate, really. Toyota...

There was no point in my losing my temper--you are right, I should have asked to speak with the tech directly. But the real reason I wanted the...
Mini-update: I still haven't heard from the Toyota Corporate technicians, but I did have an extremely frustrating conversation with...
Well, that's good to know! I still have not heard back from Toyota's regional service technicians, who I understand are supposed to be looking...
Update: I still have not gotten the written report from the downtown dealership; hopefully I will soon. At the recommendation of several on...
You are right that I am (or was) getting pushed around a bit by the downtown dealership. I have decided to tow it to another (recommended)...
It's a fair question, and one suggested by one other poster, as well. I talked to Junior at Libertyville, and he said that they would try to get...
I asked Grossinger's to put down in writing everything they had done, diagnosed, and told me. I will check a draft before letting them send it to...
The VIN check is a good idea. I talked to a diff. dealer, who said he'd never heard of a) a Prius overheating, B) a Prius having a bad...
