Driving on the freeway over 50 miles per hour the car dies goes really slow goes down to 30 miles per hour almost no power
You have to get the DTC codes read. I'm assuming all kinds of warning/error lights came on the dashboard? Have you checked for leaks, especially from the inverter coolant loop? If nothing leaking, check for flow/turbulence of the inverter coolant fluid. Could be a failed inverter coolant pump and the resulting overheating and shutdown of the inverter.
....Assuming that's 89,838 you should be under CARB warranty, assuming car is orig from Ca. Sounds like HV batt but you need to get codes
Assuming you live in CA and your car always lived there, you get extended warranty 10-yrs and 150k miles on most of the expensive hybrid components. Otherwise it's 8-yr 100k miles...you could be covered in either case, but some 2007's are over 8-yrs old already. You'd be close.
Don't you have a thread (Help 2007 Prius ) you posted earlier where you reveal the same symptoms AND a whole lot of codes you evidently did retrieve? You should choose ONE thread with full disclosure, to limited confusion and get the most direct help.
Fuel starvation is one way do this. Running the tank empty is the most common way to get there, but some fuel system mechanical failures can do it too.
My understanding is Oregon is a Carb State. I hope so, because that's the clock I have ticking against my Prius.
Correct we show 2009 for Oregon, so sounds like somebody intentionally sold this car around 8-yr mark. With luck slightly before 8-yrs., but I'd be worried. In any case, OP should take a shot in CA for warranty coverage. I was just reading the 2015 warranty today, and it is not very clear about the rules. 2007 warranty even less clear, I feel Toyota may help in the cases where the warranty was not worded clearly. If that fails, OP can ask Toyota for goodwill coverage,as a last resort, if needed. Ugh we are getting several used buyers grabbing problematic Prii that the owner ditched just as the warranty was up.
I think that in the majority of these cases the HV battery probably either started showing signs of failure or outright failed (and had codes reset and perhaps one or two cells replaced) before the car was sold. In other words, I think there's a strong reason why the majority of these Priuses are being sold off. There might be some cases where people sell a perfectly healthy running Prius purely because the warranty is up, and then just by coincidence the HV battery fails one month later. To be honest though, I think these would be only a small minority of the cases. Exactly! Just so we have all the relevant info in the one thread, here is the relevant info from the other one.
