The passenger side sunvisor started to droop down and would bounce around while driving. The dealer reattached the sunvisor and now everything is OK. It seems the visor is only mounted to the headliner and not to a metal surface. The dealer was doing the free 5000 mile tire rotation service and while reinstalling the wheel covers, they cracked the wheel cover. They did not report this to me and I had to call them and speak to the service manager to get it replaced.

Rubber seal of both left outer window trim strips disintegrated, turning into sticky, gummy messes. I replaced both with new OE ones.

Tie up sagging right end of rear bumper cover. The problem is that the corner of the rear bumper cover is not securely attached where it wraps around the side of the car. On both sides, I patched it by drilling a hole in the bottom edge of the cover near the corner, putting an eyebolt with nut through the hole, and using kevlar string to tie the eyebolt up to the rear end of the horizontal plastic strip. (First I tried other types of cord, but they always stretched under the constant tension, allowing the bumper cover to sag again. Wire might function ok, but might rust or rattle.) I've read on Priuschat.com of other owners trying other methods, some involving glue, to keep their droopy bumper cover in place. My method works and is inexpensive, but is tedious to adjust.

Oil consumption of 1.5qt every 5,000 miles. Toyota states it's not a problem until consumption is 1 qt every 1500 miles. With oil change intervals of 10,000 miles I see this as an issue. Toyota will not repair under extended warranty.

The passenger-rear wheel bearing was bad, so rather than spend at $500–600 to get it fixed, I opted to buy the assembly for $200 and try to replace it myself. The toughest part of the job was dealing with rust-seizure of the brake rotor and the old hub assembly. Once I got those both off, installing the new one was a piece of cake.

I keep a handful of replacement batteries on hand at all times to change them out in our key fobs every few months. Dealer couldn't figure out why they go dead so fast and they charged $50 each time we visited them and all they would do is replaced the battery in the key fob. I've owned other Toyotas with the same key fobs and never had to replace the batteries.

The engine would sometimes rattle and vibrate on start-up. I basically scoured the internet to self-diagnose. Many said it's either the head gasket leaking or the EGR system. I elected to replace the EGR cooler (yes, these cars have and EGR cooler with coolant running through it.) The EGR cooler can be cleaned with much hassle, or replaced, as they tend to clog over time. When I had the parts off to replace EGR cooler, I checked the plugs and found a loose plug in cylinder #3 (which is the cylinder that threw the missfire code.) I take full responsibility as I am the one that changed these plugs 6 years ago. I am always so worried about stripping aluminum that I guess I didn't tighten enough. I replaced all 4 plugs this time and I notice the part number has been updated by Toyota. This car now takes a slightly hotter plug, the Denso SC16HR11 (or 3499) which replaces SC20HR11 (3444.) Front crank seal was leaking so I elected to have the shop do it. It wasn't super critical, but I thought it would be a pain to do myself.

May be related to boost pump building pressure and timing of initial application. Power mirrors operate intermittently. TPMS Light repair attempt. Dealer suggests ScanGauge II is at fault (high polling interval).

No sound from sound system. Power amplifier failure. Part ordered. When power lumbar support set toward its maximum, the support "binds" or "pops" when depressed (with the driver's lower back) as it travels inward. It is difficult to duplicate because it usually will not happen twice in a row. Inside rear view mirror was loose. Repair consisted of tightening a screw. Audio power amplifier replaced after parts ordered from previous repair trip.
