Toyota Prius Hybrid Upgrades
The Wall Street Journal reports that a software problem is causing some Toyota Prius gas-electric hybrid cars to stall or shut down while driving at highway speeds. Be sure you’re running the latest software before connecting your car to the internet.
Toyota spokesman Sam Butto told the newspaper the auto manufacturer identified a “programming error” in the computer systems of 23,900 Prius cars last year and sent owners a service notice advising them to bring the cars into dealers for an hour-long software upgrade.
