98-horsepower 1.8L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD
120000 mi US $2200 |
A known problem for this generation of Prius failed: the brake booster and accumulator system. Unfortunately this happened less than a year after it would have been eligible for a free repair from the dealer! |
30000 mi | Brake failure two times. Petal went to the stop with no brake. One resulted in repair of $4100. The second was witnessed by two other people. Both occurred at very low speed. Toyota's was the disgusting. Blamed it on driver error. |
5000 mi | Rattling sound driving over bumps and potholes. |
10800 mi | T-SB-0136-11 Installed rubber bushing. |
26400 mi | While braking and hitting a bump or pothole vehicle serges forward |
12500 mi | TSB for clicking sound over Botts Dots and tar strips. Fix was to lubricate caliper pins and install a washer. Problem was cosmetic, did not affect function or safety of vehicle. |
