    I need recommendation on a specific sales person/ dealership that is Prius friendly and knows their stuff. I am having a really hard time...I am looking for a Prius C 4 2016 and dealerships mostly pretend that doesnt even exist..if you have any recommendations they would be greatly welcome

    Or

    Somebody kidnap Tideland Prius and force him to work in a houston dealership...lol. Man is a Prius Genius!

    I can't help with the dealer but you should be able to track the car down by either scouring online inventories, using cargurus.com or cars.com. I'm sure there are more ways. When I was looking for a very specific trim with options I tracked it down myself and went to them.

    Please recommend Houston, TX , Prius mechanic ( that's not a Stealership ). I have a 2007 prius, 82,000 miles. Transmission not fully engage, got codes p0a40, p0a41. I pray it's just a bad wiring harness ?!?

    Thank you, PriusChat, for all the help this community proves. Here is an update on my error codes of one year ago.
    Got these error codes:
    p0a3f-243
    p0a40-500
    p0a41-245
    Auto Prius Error transmission_2019-10-13_at_8.35.25_AM.png
    I replaced the M9 Motor resolver.
    I cleaned the M9 connector with Electrical contact cleaner.
    The codes have stopped appearing since I did that.
    Who ever worked on this car previously didn't replace the plastic shield from the wheel well to the engine compartment. Maybe wind/ grime worked itself into the connector? Went to salvage yard and got 2 wheel well plastic shields.
