| Description of the problem | On june 5th, 2019, i took my car in to round rock toyota and they performed the 2018 toyota prius v recall fix. Since then, my mpg has gone from an average of 41 miles per gallon, which has stayed consistent since i purchased the car brand new in june 2012, down to 32 mpg. I took the car back to round rock toyota for a diagnosis on sept 30, 2019 and they said that they cannot find anything wrong, there are no error codes, and that my now greatly reduced 32 mpg fell within toyota standards. I am writing to file a complaint that their 2018 recall for the toyota prius v has a problem and needs to be revisited or the vehicles should be taken off the road. I am co-filing a complaint with the epa as well. |
