    I had bought the car Prius 2005 with 182,000 miles, have driven 34,000 with oil changes and replace of tires and brakes. Received two letters for water pump and power steering recalls.

    Took the car to the dealer, reported an acceleration problem. After recalls were fixed, they did not find any problems.

    Drove about 5 miles parked for about 3 hours after that a message shows up in the dash with a VSC and a picture of the car with a ! in the middle.

    Took the car to the dealer and now I have a $4,000 repair! Coincidence! -
    Reports with battery bad cells 4 and 5.

    The above still aren't codes. What are the DTCs?

    You also posted in the wrong area. I've already flagged your post to be moved.
