Toyota Prius

"ABS failure. Abs wheel sensor. Master cylinder/booster pump, multiple error lights, dealer estimate $5,000. DYI $1600 includes dealer required programming for new ABS parts"

"I do not understand the issue well enough to explain."

"abs malfunctioned and had to be replaced"

"Calipers froze, front and back brakes required a complete overhaul. We purchase the car from my step mother. The brakes have had major overhauls three times"

"Sticking calipers resulted in premature and uneven wear of pads. Life of pads & rotors 40K miles."

"The brake assist / controller device is not functioning as it normally used to. The brakes still work. The pressure needed to activate the brakes varies a bit. It still functioning well enough to be safe, but the brake function is not smooth. Its sometimes too sensitive and other times requires more foot pressure to brake."

"A piece of metal shielding the rear brakes broke off and locked the brakes. Fortunately I was VERY close to my mechanics garage and was able to move the car in for repairs. If I had been further the car would have needed to be towed."

"Prius has a chronic issue with premature break/rotor wear from pads/calipers that get stuck"

"It's just a constant issue with the Prius - brakes/rotors wear out from stuck pads/calipers"

"Its an older car so the rear calipers are going bad and burning up pads prematurely. Replacing calipers at 204000 miles is pretty impressive."

"As brakes were less than 2 years old I suspect improper installation by the Toyota dealership."

"The brake line to the left rear brake broke. Most of the brake fluid leaked onto the floor."

"I began to notice a vibration when breaking and was told the rotors needed to be replaced. They said the struts would also have to be replaced soon so I had that done at the same time."

"On the 3rd set of rotors now. Wear out fast."

"i had to replace the hybrid battery at 78000 miles and it cost me $5700 and i also had to replace the 12 volt battery and the 12 volt battery must be replaced again"

"The battery died suddenly. It cost me $5000 to replace."

"At 14+ years of service the battery needed replacement due to age"

"A warning light came on over a year ago, my mechanic shut it off and told me I would need to replace the battery soon. I drove it until it came on again last fall, when it also took a couple of tries to turn it on. Then we ordered a new battery from Toyota."

"Not a problem. First batter replacement."

"Currently not used due to cost of replacement."

"Battery replaced at 167000 miles (replacing it this week (4500 new batterie not reconditioned). My daughter wants the car over objection."

"Warning lights indicated electrical problem. We paid for a full electrical check from a dealer. An independent battery replacement company confirmed that and replaced our hybrid battery with a refurbished one for half the price."

"After indications of problems for about prior 6 months, it finally failed. The week between Xmas and New Year's, of course."

"It stopped holding an efficient charge so I replaced it but it lasted a while before replacing it"

"MPG dropped by 10 MPG. Diagnosed as bad cell by dealer. No error lights. Dealer quoted repair $5,000. Bought Mean Bean rebuilt battery with lifetime warranty $2,100. Replacement battery provided 2-4 MPG less than original"

"Prius stalled out on the road, several times about 10 months ago. Had to be towed to a service station. There we learned the hybrid battery had died. We had a company come to our house and replace one or two modules in the battery. That fixed the issue."

"Warning light went on indicating a hybrid system problem. Instructed to cease driving and take to mechanic"

"Toyota acknowledged the problem with a recall and repainted the car."

"Started 3 yrs ago...its a warranty issue"

"About 5 years ago,the paint on the rear hatch spoiler and under the window began to fade.The paint on the hood and door handles started peeling last year."

"All surfaces faded and a plastic finish is peeled off or flapping in the breeze in most places. Looks horrific and embarrassing but runs great."

"Known -factory defect. No recall But TOYOTA does have a quality control program that is supposedly going to cover repainting however Ive been on the list waiting for about a year and its still not my turn even though I was signed up for this particular vehicle model"

"Roof paint failed and roof began to rust. Had it repainted and paint has cracked and rusting is proceeding."
