Toyota Prius

"Car Mechanic said they were starting to leak."

"Clanking noise in steering when hitting bumps. Dealer found bad plastic gears (steering dampener) and replaced."

"The right front strut wasnt functioning well (potholes, perhaps?) so we had it replaced."

"The catalytic converter was stolen on this vehicle and was not covered by insurance. The part was extremely expensive to replace and there is not an easy way to guarantee that it is not stolen again. Have to carry more insurance on the vehicle and hope it does not happen again."

"Because of catalytic converter thefts,we had the dealer install a theft-defeating apparatus.Evidently someone still tried to steal the c.c.,and while the apparatus worked,and the c.c. stayed intact,an accompanying piece of the car was damaged,and this resulted in the coolant line leaking out.So it has to be refilled daily.Due to a supply chain problem,we've been waiting 5 months for the part to arrive."

"The 12 volt battery died."

"Master brake cylinder and brake actuator had to be replaced at 100k miles."

"The problem was resolved when the brake pads and rotors were replaced, but it seemed premature for that to happen"

"Diminished power braking. I was able to drive home slowly under no power braking. Toyota towed the car and repaired the brake system."

"Started leaking oil in driveway about 4 months ago. Not head gasket. Leak was underneath the car. Repaired a month ago"

"Twice the Evap Canister had to be replaced. Cause of failure was never determined"
