2006 Toyota Prius 4dr Hatch
76-horsepower 1.5L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD
| 156000 mi US $226 |
The hatch trim above the license plate that includes the handle cracked and pulled away from the car. I replaced the broken piece with a pre-painted Toyota part. |
| 191000 mi US $5 |
The hatch garnish/trunk latch broke free. Used JB Weld to reattach mounting screws |
| 120000 mi US $989 |
replaced headlamp lenses. The lenses were becoming opaque and dimmed from old age--developed cataracts? |
| 5000 mi | Door panel vibration |
| 213000 mi | Dealership broke interior trim when replacing combination meter (see previous repair) |
| 31000 mi | windows squeak on way down in hot weather |
| 79000 mi US $82 |
Sheathing covering rear hatch release has turned into a sticky, gooey, mess. Rubber sheath is not sold separately, replacement of hatch release switch is required ($72 + $10 shipping). Web search shows this as a frequent problem. |
| 135000 mi | Trim from hatchback release/license plate light broke off |
| 22000 mi | Car started making a "flapping" sound in the front left panel, possibly near the left wheel. Sound only heard above 45mph, especially noticeable on the fwy. It started out occassionally and inconsistently, but eventually became louder and more noticeabl |
| 48000 mi US $85 |
Car makes an ANNOYING rattling sound in mid-dash area, above the MFD screen. Mechanics admit hearing rattling, but unsure of exact problem. They would need the car for another whole day to rip out the dash and see if they could diagnose & repair rattle. |
