Toyota Prius Change Vehicle

"The AC still works most of the time, but will shut off after extended use especially on a hot day. We recharged the refrigerant, and will get it looked at when it gets warmer. We think the problem might be a valve or leak in the compressor."

"a/c failed; dealer replaced clutch relay. relay burned out in a day or two; dealer diagnosed the compressor faulty and replaced it."

"Just recently had to have the relay motor & wires replaced because both had burned out. The car dealer tech said it was most likely caused by wires being crossed. I've only ever had the car dealer mechanics service the car."

"Lost refrigerant, dye was found near the compressor. Replaced compressor and re-charged system; dye was subsequently found in the condensate drain. Labor to remove dash and replace evaporator would cost more than the car is worth at this point, so no air conditioning."

"Leak found in interior/labor intensive repair that required disassembly of entire dash area"

"I have been having problems with air conditioner refrigerant leaks since July 2016. There were six attempts to repair including five recharges of the refrigerant but it is still not working and the leak or leaks have not been fixed. Spent $1800 on repairs, including $1000 to replace radiator which I was told would likely solve the problem, but it has not been solved. I am very frustrated about this."

"A/C stopped working, mechanic refilled last July (2016) costing about $370, it stopped working again recently, mechanic recharged again, this time charging me only about $30"

"Unable to repAir leaks"

"A/C stopped working. Has been recharged three times but each time the coolant leaked out and the A/C stopped working again after a few months. Apparently there is a leak that is too small to detect. Mechanic added dye to detect leak but this has not helped."

"Failed emissions test"

"Had to replace the whole system"

"after approximately 180000 miles it stopped working and engine light displayed"

"Replaced by aftermarket converter"

"It caused warning lights to come on (check engine) and it was determined that the catalytic converter had to be replaced. Because it is a hybrid vehicle in California, it could only be purchased from a dealer as there are not after market Cats. This is very expensive, but since I had already replaced the batteries in the car (even more expensive), it was worth it to me to keep this car going since it was still performing well. Love this little car."

"This is the same problem as above"

"Developed a leak in a position that requires replacement of the catalytic converter to repair. Consequently the cost of repair is prohibitive for this age of car. Attempted to locate salvage parts for the repair, but failed. We have been told that the leak is not a safety hazard, but it is associated with a lot of noise."

"Had to replace exhaust system which was connected to the catalytic converter"

"Sway bar links needed to be replaced. This is a wear-and-tear item (140,000+ miles)"

"At 105,000 miles I figure it's just normal wear"

"SLIGHT LEFT PULL"

"Power steering drops out because of a problem with the electronics. Dealer indicated $3000 to repair, but mostly not a problem"

"front left tie rod and ball joints failed, had to be replaced. Again, not a surprise after 150,000 miles"

"I have had uneven tire wire since I bought the car, and have had to replace the tires every 20-30K for the life of the car. It is my only complaint about the car. Most recently when the tires were replaced, there was something in the back tire that"

"One rear wheel bearing failed at 100000 miles. Probably to be expected with age/mileage on car, but I still consider it a serious problem"
