    So this happened to me yesterday morning. The remote wouldn't unlock/lock my car. They locks inside my car wouldn't respond to me pushing them. I turned on my Prius C and on the dashboard, I saw three lights: Anti-lock brake warning light, Traction Control warning light and the Tire Pressure warning light. I didn't feel safe driving it anymore, so I had it towed using Toyota's Roadside service. My car was kept overnight because the factory wanted to send a tech to look at it. Today, I was told that the tech from the factory took the computer out, checked the fuses and probes and had re-set it. They told me to have it towed again if it happens in the future. The service rep thinks the factory is keeping tabs on situations like mine because the factory was involved.

    I hope I don't have a lemon! Has anyone else gone thru this?

    Wow. Perfect ECO score and yet only 40mpg. How do you manage to get only 40mpg over 150 mile range? Carry a couch on the roof? Tow a trailer with the emergency brake on?

    I'm having this same exact issue. I bought my Prius C used from Carmax. The Toyota dealership says that my reverse camera is after market and that it's the reason for my issues. With the $400 diagnostic and the computer part to fix it, I'm looking at $2000 to have my door locks work again.
