    Hardware replacement

    "It started a few weeks after purchase on the trip to Victoria BC. A Victoria dealership would not fix it because it was purchased in Alberta. I am not sure what the reason was other then the lack of effort by the Victoria BC dealership."

    Anonymous, AB (2023 Toyota Prius Prime XSE 2.0-L 4 Cyl plug-in hybrid)
    Phone pairing (e.g., Bluetooth)

    "Our phones were not recognized by the car on a consistent basis. Usually, this happened about 50% of the time. My Toyota dealer couldn't resolve it after several visits, so I called Toyota customer service . They spent about 2 hours on the phone with me. They sent me back to the dealer who then replaced the whole Multimedia unit."

    Anonymous, MA (2023 Toyota Prius Prime SE 2.0-L 4 Cyl plug-in hybrid)

    "The blind spot light in the driver side exterior mirror fell off such that it's loose inside the mirror housing. This also makes adjusting the side mirror quite difficult. The mirror hits something and isn't moving smoothly. The problem happened in late May 2024. The car is shared amongst multiple people in the family, so we experience the driver side mirror adjustment problem daily. Problem has been reported to dealership and our appoint is in mid June 2024."

    Anonymous, CA (2023 Toyota Prius Prime XSE 2.0-L 4 Cyl plug-in hybrid)

    "12 volt battery in this car is very small, rated at 260 CCA. It died completely and caused the car to be completely inoperative. I had it towed to the dealership and asked them to install a better battery. The one they put in is rated 470 CCA, and while not a measure of total capacity, may be more robust."

    Electric/hybrid battery pack replacement

    What Owners Say

    Other electric/hybrid charging problem

    "Gave answer in text box several answers ago. It was very frustrating; car had to be flatbedded to the dealer. It happened first time when car was about 2 weeks old and the second time about 2 weeks later (mid-November 2023). Not since, but I now try to unplug it within a few hours after it's fully charged. Don't want to risk this happening again. Thankfully it's only happened at home so I wasn't stranded somewhere."
