    I just got my car from the dealer.
    I dropped it of for then to check the following.
    1. the car would not take any gas at all it kept on shutting of the pump no matter how slow I tried to fill it.
    2. the display shows that the motor is off when i still hear and feal it running. and vice versa.
    3. any way to trick the head light of aiming a little higher?
    4. I know 4cylinders are a little rough but our car sounds too coarse or rough when running.

    and the replie I got is "could not duplicate the filling issue,and they don't know what I'm talking about with the possible blader issue."
    and for all the issues is that's normal to bad.
    can anyone relate to any of the issues or the dealers , don't want to hear about these issues any more.

    1. Did you try different pumps or stations? In 3+ years I've had fueling problems 3 times.
    2. I don't watch this screen so no comment.
    3. Did the dealer state the headlights are properly aligned?
    4. How many miles?

    PriusChat Shop forum is not the best place for this inquiry, try maintenance or troubleshooting forums.

    1. Try a different station

    2. The engine can run even though there are no arrows on the screen. The arrows only show power flow so if the engine is running but not charging the battery (e.g. it's full), then of course no arrows will show

    3. No trick. Just use your hand (or a wrench) and aim the headlights yourself. Check the owner's manual for the location of the adjustment. They look like beer bottle caps

    4. Ok that doesn't sound right. But then again, I don't know what you mean by "rough" cause it's subjective.
