2005 Toyota Prius 4dr Hatch
76-horsepower 1.5L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD
| 301000 mi US $45 |
Driver's sun visor wouldn't stay up. Replacement was birthday present so price is approximate. |
| 115000 mi US $20 |
Leaks into rear hatch. Rust trail discovered in back hatch. Waterproofing seal added. Still leaking. |
| 189000 mi | Noticed water leaking into cargo area again. Sealed body seam around rear end of drip channels / top of hatch again. Common problem with these--cracks in this area are nearly invisible. |
| 20000 mi | Parking brake rubber pedal fell off and glove box release button paint chipped. Dealer replaced both under warranty. |
| 312000 mi US $300 |
splash guard under front bumper popped loose, dragged, and had to be replaced. |
| 126700 mi | Paint on glove bax latch has lifted and peeled off. Checked this out and it is a known problem. Toyota doing nothing. Did not spend the $200 to get it fixed with same vulnerable materials. |
| 117800 mi | extensive surface rust on trailing arms in rear discovered when rotating tires - rust concentrated around welds. Wire brushed, cleaned, and rust-oleum paint applied. Not a permanent solution - swingarm will need to be dropped & re-finished. |

Hybrid system / 2nd "Inverter pump" not covered under warranty |
| 97000 mi | Driver side sun visor drooping. Replaced visor with new visor. |
