Just wrote it on the last page. Rodents nibbled through two wiring harnesses, which is basically all of 'em. Repair was a pain. The ABS light went on. The local shop had the car for over a week, and replaced several parts, but it didn't fix the problem. Ultimately, they threw in the towel. Then we took it to the dealer. They identified the problem. But... it took FOUR MONTHS to get new harnesses from Japan. The repair cost my insurer over $9000. One of the repair techs said that rodent-nibbled wiring harnesses were a particular problem for Priuses. News to me.

Radio/Nav system dumped all stored destinations and locked out Bluetooth. Dealer did an update, restored lost info and all is well now. This nav system and Entune is a major disappointment. Our Garmin 3590 is superior in every aspect.
7000 mi
software update to navigation system

navigation system maps extremely out of date when vehicle was delivered and unreliable. System menus confusing.
