Toyota Prius

""Several times, the display screen partially froze up meaning that part of it was visible, but not the rest. Eventually, each time the problem went away. But, I suppose, it may happen again. Luckily, it didn't last too long.""

""The touch-screen display no longer responds to touch. I have to use the corresponding control on the steering wheel to adjust fan, A/C, defrost, volume, audio mode, etc.. In fact, the display will randomly react as if the screen has been touched which means I always keep the display on an Info screen which prevents the gremlins from changing navigation map, volume, radio station, etc. Toyota wants over $2k to fix the issue which is more than the car is worth at this point. I will keep pushing buttons on the wheel.""

"Experienced over a period of several months. Required capacitor replacement"

""The scree for gas consumption, temperature goes black and does not come on by itself but we can get it to by looking at other items on it on the dash""

"The dash display screen goes blank for long stretches of time - weeks at a time. The cost to replace it is $4000 and I choose to live with it."

""Combination meter" went bad and had to be replaced for $1500"

""I think I experienced this a 10 years after I got my car. I had to get a new display, and even then it wasn't working very well.""

"Intermittent blank status with the dashboard . Annoying, but it corrects itself. It started about 165000 miles. Still not resolved."

"Periodically the screen goes totally blank. It may last one day or several days. Then it starts to work again. Known problem."

"As mentioned before, the unit that controls the display screen needed to be replaced."

"The lcd display on the dash is on its last leg. The display is dim because its failing not because its set too dim. It affects my ability to easily use many functions including the backup camera"

"Control screen board goes out occasionally and no idea about speed, gas levels, radio stations and door will not lock"

"Display screen went blank. Needed to have the piece of equipment that controls the screen replaced."

""Screen stopped working. Starts haphazardly in specific spots and then totally failed. No backup camera or AC and sound system control except what could be controlled from steering wheel buttons. Toyota no longer makes the part so purchased aftermarket screen. Only partial functionality (radio and some AC control) restored because didnt want to spend an additional $1000 to purchase a motherboard. New system allows for Apple CarPlay, which previous system was too old to have.""

"I'm actually not sure what you mean by the heads-up display. I was referring to the screen that allows me to control various items which I commented on earlier"

""dashboard sometimes doesn't light up on start, even though the engine starts. a dealer repair shop couldn't find the problem. an independent repair shop said there was a bad capacitor on the circuit board controlling the dashboard lights, but they couldn't find a replacement part. luckily, the problem only happens about once a month, and it clears up after turning the car off and starting again.""

"Initially it was intermittent. Now it's permanent. The touch screen does not work. This means I cannot control climate, the audio system, pairing my phone, resetting the odometer etc. From the touch screen, I have to use the available buttons on the steering column and some items can't be controlled that way. I was told it would cost close to $1,000 to replace that unit and I haven't felt like spending that money"

"After replacing the screen system,I could not link my cell 0hone. I bought a third party system to connect. That worked, but then i think I figured out how to connect and no longer need the third party device"

""The performance of the main Video Console has been compromised by moist weather conditions ever since the car had a "gentle" side impact in October 2021. During these conditions, the Smart Key function also fails. After several days of DRY WEATHER, the performance is normal. However, the Bluetooth has not always worked well with my older model iPhone. This connection problem existed Prior to the impact described above.""

"It was expected considering how many miles are on the car."

"I think I left an interior light on when I left the car parked for 4 days. When I returned the car was dead. It took me some figuring out to get the car started and all repercussions of the problem solved. Would have been helpful to have a warning light or other information system to figure this out quicker."

"About 7 years ago it just started going on and off on its own."

"High beams would turn off. Ordered new lights online and replaced."

"We have replaced both headlights so we can better see at night. It made a big difference"

""As an older owner, remembering how simple it was in prior years to replace a headlight, it is irritating that Toyota has contrived to make it so difficult to replace the little light element that you have to go to the dealer to replace it. Another designed-in complication that seems to have been created to force you to resort to a Toyota dealer for a replacement that should be capable of owner-replacement.""

""just after 220,000 good miles, the hybrid drive battery signaled failure, and made dying noises. Local Toyota dealer is dishonest and suggested several expensive things in addition to replacing the battery pack. Local independent mechanic agreed to install a new Toyota-brand battery pack for $3,800, which was only $200 less, but without all the other suggested items. He did the job in one day, and the car again works fine, with miles-per-gallon figures just about as good as when the car was new. I think it was a good decision to replace this battery, rather than shop for another car. The keyless entry system seems to have been intentionally designed to be a difficult profit-maker for Toyota, which charges way too much. so went to aftermarket, took about two hours and $600. I like Toyota, but this is an obnoxious practice, to make it so expensive. I tried to buy the car without keyless entry, but the whole Mid-Atlantic dealership chose to only order cars with keyless entry system, at customer nuisance and expense.""

""Rear lock needed replacement, was draining battery""

""It appears there is a wiring corrosion problem, the warning light says the parking lock isnt working, but it is working fine""

"Battery to one tire pressure monitor was dead and the other 3 were very low. I could have skipped repair but decided to replace all 4."

"The sensor is bad, constantly on so I have to continually check my tire pressure. The part is expensive so its an inconvenience Im willing to live with"

"Warning lights came on for the battery. Tested each cell ordered 2 online and replaced for less than 40 dollars."

"Just this week, the ORIGINAL traction battery failed. We knew the battery wouldnt last forever but it lasted much longer than expected (like 40-50K miles more). Have replaced one 12V battery, had some Issues with battery cooling system, and the dashboard (failing after recall expired - which was BS that Toyota wouldnt cover it for life of vehicle)"

"The car indicated a serious drivetrain problem. We had noticed the hybrid battery charge meter indicating it wasn't holding charge well overnight. Our mechanic said replacement was needed."

"The RED triangle of death showed up on my screen and noticed the Prius not running right when going past 45mph. Took car to dealership for diagnosis and they said one of the battery cells is bad. GOT A VERY HIGH estimate to replace the hybrid battery. Researched and found GREENBEAN battery would come to my house and replace for about $1700(reconditioned) vs more than double the price at the dealership for a new one. Warranty is less but on a very old vehicle went this route. (glad I did)"

"Needed to replace hybrid battery"
