Dealer mechanics at toyota berkeley, toyota vallejo and city in daly city all have stated that the crack in my oil tank is a 'well known' manufacturer defect.

I was going down the highway at about 70 mph when all the sudden the prius lost power. The prius dropped down to about 55 mph. After a short period of time the power picked up. I got off the highway and took the back roads. It was a very hot day.

Rodents chewed through majority of the wiring under the hood and build nests in the engine. This has happened twice and i have only owned the car for 5 months and cost me a lot of money for repairs which toyota will not cover and said it is not their responsibility for using these soy based wires that attracts rodents.

Headlights and cabin lights failed to turn off when remote lock was activated. Lights were then turned off manually. Five hours later, in the parking lot, the car was nearly completely dead. Last time it happened, we left it and it recharged itself. This time, it did not recharge itself; it was completely dead the next day. We had to have it towed to the dealership, who "jumped" it and let it sit overnight. They say…

While driving on the freeway at highway speeds a series of yellow triangles suddenly flashed on the dashboard along with some beeps. The engine then stalled and the gas pedal no longer responded to any inputs. Due to a combination of sheer luck and driver presence of mind the car was steered to the shoulder of the highway where it came to a halt. The experience of trying to control a car with a stalled engine and…
