Last November (around the 280,000 mile mark) I had problems with the hybrid battery pack. I was told it was "bad" and needed to be replaced. Without doing any research, I had the work done at the dealership. After the fact, I learned that bad cells in the hybrid battery pack can be replaced and it doesn't have to be that expensive.  Was also told the catalytic converter wasn't in good condition. Replaced.

Nav system reported "could not read from disk, contact the dealer". Dealer unplugged computer, replugged it in, and said "If it happens again, come back". See report #2 for the come-back trip. Nav system displayed "could not read from disk, contact the dealer". This time they decided that the disk was not bad, but the nav computer needed to be replaced. Parts ordered, said about a week. See report #1, and #3 and 4 for more data. Part (Nav system computer) finally arrived. The dealer attempted to replace it, but they had received the WRONG PART NUMBER COMPUTER. They re-ordered. See report #1, #2, and #4 for more data. They received the correct replacement computer this time. After this 4th trip into the shop for the problem, they finally got it fixed. I hope.

The dealer install alarm on this car was super flaky. It would turn on when I opened the passenger door with the smart key, and in general was annoying. Anyhow, long story short, it took me all of half an hour to pull the alarm. All I had to do was pull the driver's side vent/under dash covers, and disconnect the alarm. It's now sitting in a box in my garage and the factory alarm/smart key system works great. Feel free to message me if you want more details.

I had another module start to go, but this time it was with the "block XX becomes weak" CEL. I believe I had noticed this block was, in terms of voltage, high when charging and low when discharging, so I suspected one of the modules was on it's way out, but it still lasted a half year or so. As of December 2017, I believe another module i(or two) s starting to go as well. This manifests itself as the pack appearing completely full more often than in the past, especially after a decent hill, and also periodically dropping down to 1-2 bars after it's completely "full". This happens because the module or modules with the flaky cells will increase or decrease voltage faster than the other cells (they have relatively little capacity to store energy left), which makes the pack voltage appear higher or lower than it actually is and the battery displays as full or near-empty more often.

Warning lite on for airbag - front seat circuit. Dealer reset but claimed problem still existing w/airbag not functioning. Claimed only solution was to replace passenger side front seat assembly @ $2400 cost. Declined repair. 2nd dealer to inspect car for airbag/seat open circuit. Dealer couldn't identify any problem, verified that airbag was operable suggested open circuit may have been loose harness connection under seat. Dealer reported leak @ water pump while trouble shooting an open circuit in air bag system. Decided to have local Goodyear dealer install. Do not trust, repeat - do not trust Toyota dealer where we purchased our Prius.

Got the red triangle of doom. ECU gave an HV battery code. Checked and one pair (block) was 1V low. Bought used pair for 80 and swapped them in. Edit - After doing a few of these, I'd say it's doable in 6+ hours by yourself, but you definitely need something to help compress the modules in the pack so you can install the bolts on the pack's underside. I use wooden boards of differing widths and a couple wood clamps. If someone is helping you out and they're reasonably handy, you might be able to do this in 3-4 hours.

Another battery module went sideways, but this time it threw one of the "block XX becomes weak" because the module was weak, but hadn't failed (internal short) yet. I had picked up another 2007 Prius from a friend for $1500, so I PNO'ed this Prius and have been driving that since. I have a few decent modules I purchased off ebay to swap into the pack, but I'm planning to pull it and do some thorough testing and possibly rehydrating to see if that improves the pack's performance. TODO - Pull pack, cycle/measure battery modules, try to rehydrate modules with limited capacity, cycle/test those modules again, reassemble, test how the pack does in the car.

A coolant control valve needs replacement and throws a specific trouble code, but I've chosen to live with it (will repair eventually) as it doesn;t really affect the car's performance. It's the engine coolant; code is P1121; for a "secondary" tank that helps the engine warm up faster (hence why it's a non-essential repair).

A/C started blowing hot air then Triangle of Death appeared approx 1-2 hrs later. Dealer said A/C repair was likely due to evaporator core leak that needed to be replaced. However, dealer estimated A/C repair to be $2700 which was more than half of what we paid for 13 yr old vehicle! We declined dealer repair & recharged A/C for $50 - we believe dealer was completely dishonest because they said they had recharged A/C when they replaced inverter water pump but we found A/C caps laying under the hood. Later found on Prius Chat blogs the A/C diagnostic code lights have been known to trigger when inverter pump goes out.
