Salim,
Sorry to hear about your car. So far there are some excellent suggestions including staying away from 'that' dealer.
Keep us posted on how it turns out for you. Good luck.

So that we can be aware, what was written up on the estimate for the repairs necessary?

I would get rid of wife. Then never let ur new girlfriend mess with anything in the engine.

For $17K. Don't you think that divorse would cost you a whole lot more? No, I'd keep her, but I'd make sure she slaved it off with huge interest.

This...and of course, divorce your wife.

Just tow the car to a trusted garage, do coolant flush twice, i think it will be fine. $200-$300 max

Hopefully, the OP will post the latest on this.

I'm really finding it hard to believe this post (for instance, to add one cup of any kind of fluid to the inverter reservoir, the reservoir would have had to have been very very low to begin with, low enough to maybe set off the 'check hybrid' warning light (not the check engine light by the way). If your inverter reservoir was that low it would indicate some other pre existing problem (leaking inverter, or leaking transaxle)........but...anyway...

Why was your wife adding tranny fluid to the vehicle anyway? Did it need tranny fluid for something and she put it in the wrong spot, or did it need inverter coolant and she added tranny fluid by mistake?

Any update..it's been almost two weeks? How about a .pdf scan of the repair estimate or can you list what the dealer diagnosis is?
