2013 Toyota Prius v 4dr Wagon

98-horsepower 1.8L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD

66000 mi

US $315
Prius ran out of fuel on the highway despite gauge reading 1/4 of a tank. Towed to Crown Toyota for diagnosis, discovered faulty fuel sending unit. Replaced under extended warranty. 
49000 mi

US $350
Driver's side lock failed, would not work with FOB A/C blower failed and needed to be repalced 
35000 mi Drivers door lock motor busted. 
125000 mi Just wrote it on the last page. Rodents nibbled through two wiring harnesses, which is basically all of 'em. Repair was a pain. The ABS light went on. The local shop had the car for over a week, and replaced several parts, but it didn't fix the problem. Ultimately, they threw in the towel. Then we took it to the dealer. They identified the problem. But... it took FOUR MONTHS to get new harnesses from Japan. The repair cost my insurer over $9000. One of the repair techs said that rodent-nibbled wiring harnesses were a particular problem for Priuses. News to me. 
17000 mi Radio/Nav system dumped all stored destinations and locked out Bluetooth. Dealer did an update, restored lost info and all is well now. This nav system and Entune is a major disappointment. Our Garmin 3590 is superior in every aspect. 
7000 mi software update to navigation system 
12000 mi navigation system maps extremely out of date when vehicle was delivered and unreliable. System menus confusing.
