Wheel bearing had been making noise for quite some time on the passenger side. I knew someone who owned the same vehicle and said that he had his replaced right around 100,000 miles. Mine was the passenger side but just did both front wheel bearings at the same time.

I bought this car from a friend for $1500 sight unseen. They towed it to my place and after hooking up my OBD II adapter I confirmed the car had a P0A80, whic is a shorted out battery module in my experience (2 times), but it could be other things too. I pulled the pack, replaced the weak module, buttoned everything up, washed/vacuumed the car, and started to drive it.

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.

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.

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.
