2006 Toyota Prius 4dr Hatch
76-horsepower 1.5L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD
| 79800 mi | Hybrid traction battery failure, replaced under warranty |
| 6092 mi | Replace ABS actuator and resistor. Separate trip to reconnect dimmer switch on dash. |

Changed break pads. |
| 155000 mi US $600 |
Replacement brake pads and new tires |
| 145000 mi US $3000 |
Car had been making noise since new. Assumed it was just, “hybrid noise.” Turns out, it was the brake actuator going out. Had become terrible, so took it in. Got the brake actuator replaced. While there, the 12v battery died. Had it jumped (by the shop) and drove it home. Replaced 12v battery next day. |
| 131900 mi US $175 |
Parking brake pedal disconnected from brakes. Pushing pedal down had no effect. |
| 105000 mi US $300 |
ABS, TSC and BRAKE warning lights came on. Emergency brake switch needed to be replaced |
| 33000 mi | Problem 1: Brake actuator makes squeaking noise when brake pedal depressed, but dealer could not duplicate problem. TBS issued for Brake actuator, but not covered after 36K miles. Problem |
| 46000 mi US $800 |
Yaw sensor for Vehicle Stability Control was replaced and LF speed sensor for Anti-lock Braking System was replaced. |
| 120000 mi US $989 |
Brakes replaced on all 4 wheels, flush brake fluid, |
| 36000 mi | Brake system made noise when car was stopped and brakes were firmly pressed. Brake actuator replaced according to TSB. |
| 54000 mi US $119 |
brake actuator makes a chirp/squeak when car is stopped. TSB BR001-07 describes situation. 1st step is to bleed the brakes and see if problem still exists, which it did. 2nd step (not taken) is to replace the $1200.00+ brake actuator. |
| 86000 mi | I think the noise decreased/stopped after we got more miles (and brake usage) on the car. |
| 167000 mi | Skid control computer died and had to be replaced. Not easy to replace and not at all easy to diagnose. Took three months to track down the problem. |
| 112000 mi US $210 |
Adjustment to rear brakes as part of full service |
