What Owners Say
"Screen will be fine one time and dark the next. Or dark one time and fine the next. Some times the car does not want to shut down so I must hold the button down till it shuts off. 10- 15 sec."
Anonymous, NC (2006 Toyota Prius None 1.5-L 4 Cyl hybrid)"display screen no longer functions and we opted not to repair due to cost."
Anonymous, NY (2006 Toyota Prius None 1.5-L 4 Cyl hybrid)"The screen going blank started about 2 years ago. While driving on the freeway, the screen will go blank about every 10 miles for about 5 seconds. This will also occur at slower speeds occasionally. Having this problem fixed will cost more than the car is worth. The diagnostic work alone costs $3000. The entire dash board needs to be removed just to look for the problem. Then thousands more for parts. And a possible entire dash board replacement."
Anonymous, OR (2006 Toyota Prius None 1.5-L 4 Cyl hybrid)"Fix in progress. Problem intermittent and can still use car. Difficult to turn off engine, but can so far."
Anonymous, LA (2006 Toyota Prius None 1.5-L 4 Cyl hybrid)"screen would randomly fail upon startup. expensive to replace."
Anonymous, TX (2006 Toyota Prius None 1.5-L 4 Cyl hybrid)"over the course of the year the display ceases to function. I think it is related to the steering column. it is getting worse but still manageable."
Anonymous A., CA (2006 Toyota Prius None 1.5-L 4 Cyl hybrid)"The MFD stopped working in May. Cost of obtaining a new replacement was prohibitive and was advised to install a used display, which I did myself for minimal cost."
Anonymous, CA (2006 Toyota Prius None 1.5-L 4 Cyl hybrid)""When you click on things on the touch screen they don't register. Often when you click at the very top of the screen it selects things at the bottom of the screen, but nothing else is clickable. Sometimes it works, other times it doesn't. We do not plan on fixing this issue since we can make the car work fine without it.""
Anonymous A., CA (2006 Toyota Prius None 1.5-L 4 Cyl hybrid)"The tire gauge does not reset (even though it has been replaced) after filling tires."
