What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 toyota prius. While driving approximately 55 MPH, the check engine indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a dealer for diagnostic testing, but the technician was unable to diagnose the cause of the failure. Seventeen days later, the failure recurred and the vehicle was taken to another dealer who performed an oil change and checked the tire pressure. One week later, the failure recurred and the tire gauge indicator illuminated.
Engine and engine cooling: the water coolant pump hasn't been properly working for quite some time now. My air and the engine power are both affected due to a random issue with this part while my car is being driven. My air condition motor has been recently replaced and all my engine fluids are filled.
