Prius Plug-in 2012-15 :: Lower Mpg After 20,000 Mile Service / Oil Change

Just had my 20,000 mile service yesterday on my Prius Plug In and got 10-15mpg loss in gas mileage today. It seems like ECO mode isn't even working anymore because MPG just drops to 15 MPG when you accelerate pass the half way point.

I'll take it back to dealership tomorrow? It should have only been a oil change and oil filter change. Reading some old threads makes me thing they put in the wrong oil?? It says 0W20 on service contract but not sure if correct.

Prius (2010-12) :: Mileage Drops To 2 Bar Within A Mile

When I bought the car in 2009, if I had 4 bars on my traction battery at night, it would have them in the morning. Now I can leave the car for 2 hours in moderate weather. When I drive off, it will show 4 bars but driving in eco mode w/o ac, it will drop to 2 within a mile and stay there for several miles before it starts to charge again. My overall fuel economy has dropped 10%.

Passat (B5) :: 1999 VW Shaking The Most When Change Gears - Malfunction Indicator Lamp

I just starts my 1999 VW Passat (manual) today, and the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) was on. The car is shaking the most when I change gears, then it shakes but it's ok when I'm driving. I saw it could be bad, and I shouldn't drive the car. I drove to a VW dealer garage to fix it.

I just wanted to know what it could be, if you had the same problem and what it was. Also how much it should be too, etc. I know that my engine was hot yesterday, it was smelling a bit burned after a couple of very steep hills in San Francisco, I was using a lot the first gear because of stop signs and cars behind and in front of me.

Touareg :: 2008 - TPMS Indicator Light Flashing For 60 Seconds To Indicate No Signal After Tire Change

Okay, so after 42k miles, I had to bite the bullet 4 months before my lease is up and put yet another set of tires on my T2. Done today at reputable shop, and the TPMS is not yet registering the monitors on all four wheels. Driven about 8 miles since and they are still not registering. The indicator light is flashing for 60 seconds to indicate no signal. Should this rectify itself with some driving, as other systems on the Treg do, or is it something else. They were working immediately prior to them mounting the new tires.

Prius (2004-09) :: 2006 (125K Mile) Traction Battery Module Replacement

I just replaced two bad modules in my 2006 (125K mile) traction battery. I replaced one other module a year ago successfully. I installed the battery last night and tried to charge it with my Hybrid Automotive charger. The charger would not go into charging mode. So I decided to check the idiot lights on the dash - plug in key and push the power button - every light on the dash lit up and stayed lit. The battery charge indicator in the display on the dash had most of the blue bars filled. I left the power on for several minutes and the engine never started (usually does regardless of state of battery charge for a minute or two when you first power up the Prius).

Toyota - Prius :: Low Oil Pressure Red Message Flashed 3 Times In Last 5 Miles Of 10 Mile Trip (45 - 50 Mph)

The oil was changed by a highly reputable shop 2 days ago, (45 miles ago). My wife noticed today that the "Low Oil Pressure" red message flashed 3 times in the last 5 miles of her 10 mile trip (45-50 mph). She stopped the car and called me. I arrived at the parked Prius and saw no oil on the dipstick. I poured a quart of synthetic in and looked under the car to see it pouring out. My finger discovered that there was No Oil Plug. I called the shop and they sent a tow truck, put a new oil plug in, refilled the oil and claim no damage since "the Prius shuts off the gas engine when low oil pressure is sensed". Looking for information about this "shut off feature?" What should I ask from the shop? What should be tested & checked for? How do you test for damage to the bearings? How about a compression test? The car has 100K miles.

Prius (2010-12) :: Bad For Long Term Health Of Hybrid Battery Trying To EV In The Last Mile Of Arriving Home?

Do you think it would shorten the life of the hybrid battery if I make a habit of really trying to EV in the last mile of arriving home?

Tonight, I accelerated quite slow after the last stop to stay on battery, but I noticed the battery bars got down to 2.

Got to wondering, if I do this a lot, might it shorten the traction battery life such that it fails at 11 yrs, for example, instead of 14 years?

GTI 337/20th Anniversary :: 20AE Won't Rev Past 5000 RPM

I just test drove a pretty clean 20AE. It's mechanically sound, runs, drives fine. But, when I got on it, it revved strong... Up until 5000rpm, then flattened out hard. Almost like limp mode. Definitely seemed like something electronic, because it was very consistent.

Ford F-150 (2009-2014) :: 3.7L V6 Hesitates At 5000 RPM

If I were to gun it onto an on-ramp, I feel a slight hesitation around 5000 RPM. Once it goes past 5000 it will keep going to 7k, no problem.

I'm wondering if this is common, just the engine? or should I take it back to the dealership?

I just purchased this, used, two weekends ago (my first of many posts here) I love the truck, feel safe in it and it's HUGE! I just hope I don't already have an engine problem in it. The warranty is still good of course, so I would hope they can fix it if there is a problem.

This is a 2013 F-150 SuperCrew.
