Software Issues

Are owners still having problems with the software or has Toyota fixed that?
I have read where the programming pretty much would shut down the vehicle.
Also, are there any issues with the generators that are used for braking?

Thanks!

The reported problems with the 2001 and 2004 model years were repaired
when the cars were brought in under warranty. It was a completely free,
warranty repair.

Identify the source? It is very much out of date and inaccurate. We need
to know to make sure we can warn you and others away from such
incomplete reporting.

None at all but we call them motor-generators. There are two in each
Prius and they work great.

Links? I'd like to hear where you "read" that the programming would
"pretty much shut down the vehicle".

'Cuz in all my research and in owning the car for almost a year now,
that has never, ever come up even as a remote suggestion.

Thanks for the info. I was hoping this was the case but wanted to double
check.
