Anonymous, NC (2008 Toyota Prius Unsure 1.5-L 4 Cyl hybrid)""Earlier this month, the instrument panel screen went dark & engine wouldn't turn off as I reparked it at home. But then worked fine for AAA guy. So I drove it to dealer service for advice, was told it was starting to fritz out & how I might counteract that if happened again (with caveats), otherwise get it replaced. Left car there for a week for part ordering & replacement. No problems since.""

The car shows signs of rust and that challenges resolution of some mechanical issues without incurring exorbitant costs. The car wont see another year. Im not complaining. I loved the Priuses right up until the newest model."

""Catalytic converter was stolen. The city PD told me they have a special task force just for Prius cats getting stolen, there had been so many. Toyota should put a cage around them to make them harder to steal.""
