Hybrid battery system showed code p0a80. Dr. Prius App showed Battery Module 5 was failing. Swapped out Battery Module 5 for a new (used) battery module. Planning on upgrading to a Lithium Ion battery pack later this year. |
| 24000 mi | Sold car to private party, discovered after sale that lower 30% or so of the dash touchscreen had stopped responding to touch when I went to clear my BT call data. Buyer decided to go ahead and purchase car anyway. I don't know exactly how this story ended but I presume buyer will have this dealt with under warranty at the dealership. |

The AC AUTO button gets pressed and is in a position that does not toggle properly when OFF is pressed. I do not have a perm fix but will only do the slide with finger to toggle it properly. |
