    Service or Repair Issues
    Status:
    Answered
    On May 4, 2023, the dealer, "Black Diamond auto sales", sold my son a blue **** Prius. I was present as well, his father. However when we bought the vehicle, it was showing alarms and I was told that it was the regular small 12V battery, and that when it was re-connected, the alarms would clear. The warnings did not clear, so I had two auto repair shops check it, and both confirmed a problem with the hybrid battery. If codes had been checked, this would have been found. The car was unable to run for long distances without shutting off, so we had to purchase a large refurbished hybrid battery for $1,850 plus installation. So added to the base cost of $6,300, that comes to about $8,500. Also, the compartment that holds the small 12V battery was full of water, so the person who connected it at the dealer could obviously see that but did nothing about it, or tell us.I have attached an image of the receipt for the hybrid battery that we had to purchase just a few days after the purchase of the vehicle. We are seeking a settlement from the dealer to help defray the cost of the hybrid battery which was not part of the final agreed on price.

    Purchased a vehicle as is. Before I got off the lot the check engine light was on. I returned and asked what the "green wrench" light was for. He said it was ok , turned off the car and then turned it back on an the light was gone. Before the week was out, the check engine light was on again. I took it to a shop where they said that the car had a "short" and replaced the battery ($465.00) & a cable. Because the short was fixed, the computer module was able to signal that the *** was bad & the brakes system was no longer working, I could not drive the car as it is now a safety concern. I had to take it to a dealership to get the *** module repaired, & the shocks /struts system replaced which were also bad. I returned to the dealership and asked for their inspection report on the vehicle. He said he did not have one and then offered to commit fraud by retro purchasing a warranty. So far, I have spent over $5,000 to get this fixed. They should be investigated as they are not following the law.
