Sometimes takes 3 tries before D engages. Could not duplicate the problem. Kept the car overnight. No codes. Decided it must be a driver problem.

Sep 2017 18000 mi US $908	My car started having a hard vibration as I drove to work. Acceleration made it worse. Drove the short distance to work, and then had it towed to a local Toyota dealership. No codes came up, other than a hard misfire in cylinder 2. They proceeded to take the engine apart looking for a mechanical problem, but found none. Called in some experts from Toyota who had them "try things". Eventually they found it was an air pocket in a fuel train(??). This was not covered under warranty. The car was 2 months beyond the 3 year warranty. I had just purchased it in May. Eventually called Toyota who extended a good will reimbursement to me. No one could explain how or why this happened. I have since noticed some vibration when driving at high speed. I am concerned that I have purchased a lemon.

Mar 2018 98000 mi US $15	The Car is Burning Excessive Oil. About 3.5 quarts in 10000 miles. Apparently a common issue on a Toyota Prius (2010-2015). Interesting thing is it's not burning enough oil to do the "repair". According to the Toyota TSB on the issue the car needs to burn more then 1 quart in 1000 miles. The repair is to replace the pistons and rings which is not trivial, and rather expensive. I will do an oil analysis and see if I have excessive metal. And if not switch oil to a 0w-30 or 0w-40.

Oct 2018 93700 mi US $2	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.

Mar 2017 132000 mi	This was a recall to remedy a sticking EGR valve. My car didn't fail the test, but the shop was kind enough to do the upgrade anyway since I had heard the sound once or twice in the past.
Jan 2018 146000 mi US $54	The oil pressure sending unit was leaking oil. It was enough oil that I was fortunate enough to see oil drops on my driveway when I got home. The issue must have started that day as there was very little oil missing (as noted by the oil level on the dipstick.) The part was purchased immediately and installed after by me. Luckily it was pretty straightforward and I had the tools and time.
Jun 2018 150000 mi US $10	The windshield washer was not spraying very well on the passenger side. I tried to blow out the sprayer with compressed air after soaking in vinegar. This didn't work. I then replaced the check valve (Y-shape) and that did the trick.
May 2024 181000 mi US $509	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.
Oct 2024 187729 mi US $1220	New head gasket. I noticed the car had been going through coolant (slowly.) A check of the plugs showed one cylinder had been getting wet.

Toyota Prius in California, United States Nov 2016 - Nov 2017
Jul 2016 197000 mi US $40	I bought this car from a friend for $1500 sight unseen. They towed it to my place and after hooking up my OBD II adapter I confirmed the car had a P0A80, whic is a shorted out battery module in my experience (2 times), but it could be other things too. I pulled the pack, replaced the weak module, buttoned everything up, washed/vacuumed the car, and started to drive it.
Oct 2016 198000 mi	The dealer install alarm on this car was super flaky. It would turn on when I opened the passenger door with the smart key, and in general was annoying. Anyhow, long story short, it took me all of half an hour to pull the alarm. All I had to do was pull the driver's side vent/under dash covers, and disconnect the alarm. It's now sitting in a box in my garage and the factory alarm/smart key system works great. Feel free to message me if you want more details.
Feb 2017 201000 mi US $40	I had another module start to go, but this time it was with the "block XX becomes weak" CEL. I believe I had noticed this block was, in terms of voltage, high when charging and low when discharging, so I suspected one of the modules was on it's way out, but it still lasted a half year or so. As of December 2017, I believe another module i(or two) s starting to go as well. This manifests itself as the pack appearing completely full more often than in the past, especially after a decent hill, and also periodically dropping down to 1-2 bars after it's completely "full". This happens because the module or modules with the flaky cells will increase or decrease voltage faster than the other cells (they have relatively little capacity to store energy left), which makes the pack voltage appear higher or lower than it actually is and the battery displays as full or near-empty more often.

May 2015 207000 mi US $80	Got the red triangle of doom. ECU gave an HV battery code. Checked and one pair (block) was 1V low. Bought used pair for 80 and swapped them in. Edit - After doing a few of these, I'd say it's doable in 6+ hours by yourself, but you definitely need something to help compress the modules in the pack so you can install the bolts on the pack's underside. I use wooden boards of differing widths and a couple wood clamps. If someone is helping you out and they're reasonably handy, you might be able to do this in 3-4 hours.

I have a few decent modules I purchased off ebay to swap into the pack, but I'm planning to pull it and do some thorough testing and possibly rehydrating to see if that improves the pack's performance. TODO - Pull pack, cycle/measure battery modules, try to rehydrate modules with limited capacity, cycle/test those modules again, reassemble, test how the pack does in the car.
