Anonymous A., PA (2010 Toyota Prius Unsure 1.8-L 4 Cyl hybrid)""Paint peeling, but Toyota is going to repaint it""
Anonymous, HI (2010 Toyota Prius Unsure 1.8-L 4 Cyl hybrid)"Paint has been peeling for 10 years. Initially it was a very small area. Over time it increased in size and number. I checked with Toyota to see if it was covered under the "paint peeling" recall. They indicated that it was not. So I called a friend that's a graphic artist and asked if he could paint a car that looked like it was entirely rusted. He said "Of course....and I can do it in 3D". I'm looking forward to seeing the result."

Anonymous A., CA (2010 Toyota Prius Unsure 1.8-L 4 Cyl hybrid)"Due to a service bulletin from Toyota for white 2010 Prius paint peeling prematurely the entire exterior was repainted by the dealer at no expense to me. A 2010 car was painted for free in 2024. Excellent!!"

Anonymous, NY (2010 Toyota Prius Unsure 1.8-L 4 Cyl hybrid)""Had the car painted 3 years ago, because the roof was rusting. It is rusting yet again.""
Anonymous A., OR (2010 Toyota Prius Unsure 1.8-L 4 Cyl hybrid)"All the mechanical and electronic parts of the car are problem-free. But my mechanic discovered extensive rust in the rocker panels and under the hood, so it probably won't pass its next inspection. But in Vermont, 15 years is a good run -- and it's been a great car."

""Left rear door seal came loose and the right rear section near the bumper has also come loose. Have pressed the clips back in for a temporary fix on both parts; local Toyota dealership said they could fix the problem, but never got back to me. Will try another Toyota dealership to see if thay can solve the problem.""
