    injector failure.....

    Hi!,
    I have this week had a #4 injector failure in my 2004 Prius. The dealer said
    it was due to a seam in the windshield deck gasket dripping water onto the
    injector. Has anybody else had this problem? Should it be covered by my
    warranty? My car has 52K miles.

    Thanks,
    Carl

    Check to see that you had the LSC 40E "Engine Compartment Seal"
    campaign done on your US 2004. This limited service campaign for the
    2004 was to add a bit of weatherstripping under the hood near the
    windshield, to prevent water from getting into places in the engine
    compartment that water shouldn't be getting into... Repair is free, no
    mileage limitation, but must be done prior to July 31, 2007.

    Also, have you had the SSC 50P campaign done? Depending on your VIN,
    it's either only an ECU firmware upgrade, or it may also put a
    dielectric grease onto a wire to prevent water from causing problems.
    This was considered a safety recall, so again free repair, but no
    limitation on time.

    Finally, you've been using the correct grade of gasoline, right? Too
    high octane gasoline is known to cause check engine lights for a
    cylinder misfire.

    Hi!,
    Ohh....! Thanks, I'll have to check on that one (LSC 40E). I'm the one who
    usually takes my wife's car in and picks it up. I don't remember seeing that
    anywhere in the routine stuff the dealer has done. We did get the firmware
    update done when we got the card in the mail. We always run regular gas.
    Premium in this area is +$.20 to +$.45 a gallon depending on where you buy
    it and on what day of the week.

    Carl
