Toyota Prius Change Vehicle

"CD player started skipping on CDs and needed to be cleaned often with lens cleaner disc.Finally it stopped playing CDs and wouldn't even play the lens cleaner disc"

"randomly ejects CD, screen get scrambled"

"Entire navigation/cd player went out"

"Combo Radio/CD player LCD screen scrambles text. Stopped playing CDs. Dealer said Panasonic will exchange old player for new player (a program to help Panasonic determine the cause of the failure). The exchange cost us $250"

"CD got jammed in player drive and couldn't be ejected by driver"

"Stopped working"

"CD player works intermittently"

"3rd radio was replaced with a radio with a CD player that would not accept CD's"

"Cd's would not eject. Unit was replaced under warranty"

"Complete radio assembly stopped working in high heat, but eventually started working again. Problem reoccurs intermittently"

"will not load a CD. haven't bothered to get it fixed"

"The display goes blank or displays garbage, and the CD changer ejects all 6 CDs for no reason"

"Cover doesnt open allowing to insert or extract cd"

"stopped working too expensive to fix, have to replace everything"

"MAP CD is required to load software for the entire entertainment, GPS and backup camera. When the CD won't load NONE of these products work!!!!!"

"Entire stereo system turns on and off periodically"

"Starting discharging all the CDs in it and won't accept any new CDs. So CD player now unusable"

"Controls will not work"

"Actually, it's been going on for years. I have provided photographic proof and the dealership could not "recreate the issue and therefore could not fix it". then it as past warranty and suddenly they said they could replace it for $500 dollars. When"

"The Hybrid System Indicator began to fog up more and more thus blocking and making the view difficult to see. They replaced the "lens" under warranty"

"The info is not correct on the screen"

"With bright sun the screen is in a shadow from the overhang and the display cannot be seen"

"At dusk or in the early morning, if I turn the lights on, the dashboard becomes hard to see. I haven't tried to adjust it, but that is an annoyance"

"Screen goes dim or freezes"

"Cannot see screen in sunlight"

"When switching from CD to radio, screen freezes up and sometimes radio does not go on"

"Push ignition button car does not start. Have to push button more than once when cold"

"Sometimes the screen automatically resets itself or just freezes and cannot be changed. Usually OK once car is shut off and restarted"

"same problem as previously described, intermittent and unresolved"

"I believe the display problem was related to the GPS system malfunction I described earlier. Display was just a symptom of the probelm"

"touch screen stopped accepting inputs (from being touched)"

"Faulty Combination Meter (causing dash lights to go out and, possibly, failing to start) has been covered by extension of warranty for models 2004-09 but not my 2010. I had to pay for its replacement, even though dealer and maker know that it is a s"

"the unit goes dark or fails to show what is on the radio or cd"

"left side of display screen had to be replaced. It displays the speedometer"

"The 12 volt battery died, and even after jumping the battery, the ignition electronics failed. The car had to be towed to the dealer and have the ignition electronics redone"

"the problem has been intermittent, and the dealer could not find the source or fix the problem"

"Screen doesn't really go blank. It cycles through a bunch of crazy characters. Almost like it is running some kind of screen diagnostic check"

"Goes black for no apparent reason, though radio/music continues to play. Turning off-on makes no change. Shutting down and restarting the car corrects problem,"

"Screen freezes or goes blank and never recovers"

"Drops out of aux mode while playing mp3 through bluetooth. Very difficult to establish playback through usb-very erratic operation. Shouldn't be that hard since cable is plugged in but you have to cycle system, turn mp3 off/on then finally catches"

"Auxiliary input jack (located in center console) now only connects the right channel. Left channel plays static"

"The interface with an MP3 player works sporadically or not at all. This has been a problem from day one and Toyota has never been able to fix it"

"Tried s"

"Upgrade DVD to 2014 version and soon after system could not read DVD. Took to dealer and exchanged DVDs but problem still persists. Dealer states that DVD/GPS system has malfunctioned and would have to be replaced. Too expensive to replace"

"GPS quit working. The map shows, but I can't put in addresses or get any directions. Also radio buttons don't always work. Dealer told me the whole dash would have to be replaced in order to fix the GPS and FM button selections"

"The GPS makes grievous errors, so I don't feel I can trust it. Example--it gave wrong route number to a major highway--NYS thruway. Also, drove me in circles in Albany, NY, then directed me back onto highway without getting to destination"

"The nav and radio are all in one unit and the nav was not responding to commands so had to buy the whole unit for $2800"

"the system is unable to locate many addresses although they are easily found with my hand held GPS"

"The GPS is mostly worthless. You have to stop to do most functions - search for an address, business, etc. My $100 add on does it all - and no stopping. Not worth paying a dime for"

"Map disappears sometimes. "Accept" click at start does not always function. Requires car to trun off then on to work. Clearly a software bug"

"Pressing the destination or maps buttons would take me to the next audio track instead of changing the screen"

"Entire system went out. Unable to eject cd"

"It didn't seem to work when we purchased it. The dealer put in another, but that one is very inadequate. The manual for it is awful. I use google on my iphone whenever I need to us gps"

"The GPS reset itself and lost half it's maps. They reloaded the maps (old maps) for free. The maps were already out of date when I got the car and it costs a fortune to update them and they're not good as my old Garmin Nuvi or Google Maps"

"The screen keyboard seems to not always pick up the character when it is touched. Have gone to voice input"

"Apparently the GPS DVD got stuck somewhere in the system. I suppose this also affected the CD changer"

"No longer reads the DVD so the navigation system does not work. Dealer tried a different DVD but that did not solve the problem. Suggested replacing the entire system for over $2000 which I did not do"

"GPS often does not allow entry of address or other information; screen "greys out""

"Gives incorrect and misleading information and directions"

"It doesn't work and cannot read the dvd disk when it is installed"

"Replaced under warranty"

"GPS: Unreliable. Roundabout directions. Wrong directions"

"In-dash navigation has been terrible from the start. Will never buy one from Toyota again"

"System is frequently WRONG. It can't be used by the passenger. It can only be used when the car is in park. The whole system is annoying and frustrating to use. For this reason I sometimes hate my car!"

"The route guidance is often strange, funny, not appropriate and even sometimes provides disadvantages; such as using most congested or less inconvenient road networks as commons sense (not just because this does not use real time traffic information"

"The dealer changed the GPS but it did not fix the problem he them changed to Antenna which fixed it. Under Platinum Warrenty"

"About a year ago, GPS would work (boot up) about 1/2 the times car was started. Gradually decreased over 3 to 4 months. Now will not turn on at all. Radio, CD player and backup camera do not work when GPS doesn't work"

"It is very difficult to use, not intuitive at all. Input of address is challenging. Selection of what one is looking for is limited"

"needed a new cd installed"

"Front bumper pealing and cracking. GPS system was out of date when received and they want $165 to update. Would never ever get Toyota GPS system again"

"It was clear the DVD player that reads the map data was failing. It started as an occasional problem and got progressively worse until the GPS was completely unreliable. It was 3-6 months between noticing a problem and GPS becoming unUSble"

"The entire navigation system failed. No longer able to read map disc. No longer able to access maintenance screens either"

"System quit after 3.5 years of use. Dealership would not include as part of warranty. It has not worked since. We use WAZE on our phone instead now"

"The GPS lost half its maps, including my local area. Thankfully they reinstalled them for free. Also, the navigation is really bad. My Garmin is much better. The choices are easier and the route choice is better and the directions are clearer, easier to understand. This nav always trys to make me do uturns to turn left into a plaza"

"The GPS does not stay oriented on the map. I can locate the car accurately on the map, and within a few miles it has lost the track. I live in Texas, and my arrow is currently in Louisiana"

"Impossibly difficult to enter addresses for guidance. Voice entry doesn't "hear" correctly so you have to start all over again"

"Bluetooth very unreliable. Doesn't sync, drops off in middle of calls or while playing mp3"

"It seems to get confused about the two different phones we have paired and some times has trouble hooking up with them"

"The pairing failed and I was unable to reset. Dealership knew next to nothing about it, had to take it in three times"

"In car microphone weak. Had to shout to be heard"

"It frequently doesn't ring when paired, cuts out or doesn't pair up. I know it's not my phone as it works fine in our other vehicle. The phone works through the nav system and the whole thing is ridiculous"

"When phone battery ran down, had to re-activate Bluetooth in auto"

"Head unit failed and was replaced under warranty"

"The radio would loss stations, and the stations would change when the Map button was pushed"

"When punching the button to see the title of the song or symphonic piece being played, the radio jumps to another station and does not return immediately to the original station"

"Numerous times the radio is blank when we start it up, all the presets we have entered are gone"

"lost ability to listen to satellite radio"

"Radio does not go to correct station or show correct info"

"Poor reception"

"When switching stations the radio goes off"

"The radio often responds incorrectly to controls; for example, using knob to change tracks on CD, may cause radio to turn off or eject the CD"

"The radio display sometimes fails and returns back on. At the same time the controls also fail for a while"

"Systm does not work properly, wrong things happen when you press the buttons"

"Radio, controls, and its display work intermittently"

"I purchased the extended warranty and used to replace the Sirius component of the radio after it failed"

"Satellite radio connection to antenna became non-functional"

"I have had 4 radio replacements in this car the premium JBL radio is the worst"

"the system threw strange characters at times. Would not work in cold temps at all. Finally went blank, stopped working, and I replaced it"

"SiriusXM Radio died. Regular radio has poor reception. Antenna problem? Don't know"

"Xm radio stopped working"

"Radio/cd player screen goes blank intermittently although all still functions. You just don't know what station/cd your on. I've found turning the car off and starting up again resets it, at least so far"

"The volume will adjust itself from time to time with no one touching any of the controls. We will be unable to turn the radio off or on at times or change channels"

"Same as CD player and nav system"

"The connection to the antenna failed and the whole rear deck would have to be replaced at a cost of around $900. I had an aftermarket antenna installed for $20. Good enough"

"The display on the receiver occasionally (randomly) displays bar graph-like characters. When I try to change the radio station, it turns off. I can change stations using the controls on the steering wheel, but the change does not show on the display. This seems to resolve when I turn the car off and restart it later"

"Built in Serius XM Radio stopped working. Neither Toyota or Sirius XM could determine the cause. Regular AM/FM radio & CD player continue to work"

"The radio stopped functioning. We were advised that we might require a software update. There was no software update"

"Only in recent weeks, voice control for phone does not work at all. Wrong response given when call request given; call cannot be made"

"The sound just stopped one day, but Toyota fixed it without charge"

"does not under stand my voice reprogrammed at least 30 times - not working"

"The voice control commands are interconnected with the GPS system. The system doesn't recognize or read the dvd when installed"

"BT voice dailing command does not recognize number 4 and 0 when they are next to each other. For example, when I say 416, it would recognize it as 016. It seems when the number 4 is the first digit, it would get confused with 0. Such confusion doe"

"Right rear speaker developed an annoying rattle with deep bass music. Then, I have to transfer all music to front speakers. With normal music spectrum music, all speakers function well"

"Failure of the Speed Control switch to activate"

"Dimmer for gauges no longer works"

"headlights will intermittently turn off"

""Fused" (melted) socket preventing new low beam bulb required whole new headlight assembly @ $400 + labor"

"We have had two Prius vehicles. Headlights have gone out on both, in less than five years, or the headlights work only intermittently. Toyota does not consider this a warranty item, even though it is clearly a problem on many Prius vehicles"

"Right headlight fails routinely, even after having it replaced. Sometimes it starts working again for a short period, but stops again"

"headlight burned out; dealer fixed"

"just need to change bulb that went out"

"Both low beams failed within a week of each other. I bought replacements from Walmart and installed myself. Clearance behind bulb sockets was very tight, especially on the passenger side. Had to work by feel since couldn't see. Took about 20 min"

"All lights just died in early 2014 one evening. It was rather costly to replace all at once"

"Headlights are not bright enough"

"Have had to replace both headlights in the past year!! Very expensive and seems Very short life for lamps"

"Headlight stops working. Have to replace bulb multiple times in the past year"

"Both headlights went out around the same time. Had to replace the "harness" at a cost of $400+; not under warranty or a recall"

"The headlights burn out frequently; about once per year and sometimes less"

"Cost! It cost over $40 to replace one headlamp bulb"

"both headlights had to be replaced"

"Headlights burn out about every 20,000 miles and it costs about $125 to replace it because the whole bumper has to be removed. Bad design"

"Low beam headlights are suddenly extremely dim. Replacing them has not solved the problem. Doing research this is a known issue but Toyota won't issue a recall. See http://www.arfc.org/complaints/2010/toyota/prius/exterior_lighting/problem.aspx"

"Bad connector on headlight assembly. Entire assembly needed replaced"

"Two light bulbs have burned out"

"For the second time since purchasing, we had to replace the low beam headlights. This last occurrence happened at night while we were on the road 3000 miles from home, needless to say a bit hairy. We bought bulbs and installed them (one side is eas"

"The headlights have burned out and been replaced much more than any car I've ever owned, except my other Prius"

"headlights burning out in several months. Dealer replaced wiring and problem was fixed. Once again Dealer did not initially want to honor extended warranty until I complained loudly"

"two different headlights replaced"

"Since March 25 to May 21, 2015, I have had my car in for replacement of the light bulbs 4 times. The first was for 2 license plate bulbs and 2 other exterior bulbs - not headlights. The next day, I had a headlight go out. Two weeks later, I had"

"I've had two headlights go out, also the license frame light and a taillight"

"Burned out, needed to be replaced"

"I am constantly(monthly or so)having to change headlight bulbs.Just a few weeks ago both high beams were changed, the very next day one burned out. The low beams burn out also, but the high beams more often. They're changed professionally, not by me"

"The headlights have started to burn out quite frequently. Could be bulb manufacturer (Sylvania) but see this was problem on earlier Prius models. Have changed to Phillips brand bulbs. Factory original bulbs also too dim"

"One lamp went out"

"Became very dim. Had them replaced"

"Several lights have burned out"

"Too much power from batteries; burned out. Would not fix both at same time [Had to drop front end to correct problem]"

"both low beams needed to be replaced"

"the enclosure for the head lights leaks and caused premayure light failure. the chaging of the passenger side head lamps is very difficult. The Head lamps still fail after chaging out the entire head light assembly. The lights only last about 3 month"

"One burned out and I had it replaced"

"short in headlamp, need to replace the headlamp more then normal"

"I went through 4 bulbs after one Toyota dealership kept having to replace them. Another dealership said there was a known problem with the 2010 Prius headlight electrical system. It was $300 / each head light to get it fixed. Total = $600+"

"The driver side LB could not be secured in place. Bulbs burned out quickly due to this. Could not replace part, whole headlight had to be replaced"

"Headlights burned out at the exact same time one day. Found a TSB from 2012 that said this problem was occurring in 2010 models due to a faulty wiring harness. Could have been dangerous. Dealer charged $600! Called Toyota customer service, refund"

"Headlights: Bulbs last six months"

"Have to replace headlights every 2-3 months. Toyota dealer says there's nothing wrong, but that seems hard to believe"

"Headlights have been terrible since the start. This will probably prevent me from buy another Prius. Very bad safety issue"

"lights set for always on when car is on. Blubs go out to quick"

"Bulb replacement"

"Headlights burn out every 1-2 months. Both burned out within an hour driving home Christmas Night. Had to use brights to get home"

"Low beam passenger headlamp burnt out"

"The headlights tend to short out, but then come back on a few days later. However they go out/blow too often as well"

"Electrical current is low to right headlight (not brights) causing dim output of light"

"Bulbs keep burning out. Headlights are not bright enough. Passenger headlight is a pain to change"

"The headlights (which are not HID) seem to wear out very quickly. On average, we have to replace the headlight bulbs every 1-2 years. On every other car I've owned, headlights lasted 3-5 years between bulb changes"

"Condensation in the drivers headlight. Low beam blubs burn out every couple of months no matter the brand used"

"In owning cars for over 40 years only once did I have to replace a headlight based on usage (not accident). I have now replaced both headlights TWICE on my 2010 Prius. On the other hand, I love this car and that is the only complaint. (Other than the beeping noise to let me know the car is in reverse doesn't sound on the outside to let pedestrians know I am moving in reverse...)"

"The seals broke and moisture fogged up the inside of the headlights, making them dim and ineffective"

"The low beams burn out once or twice a year - known issue that costs about $300 to fix - I just buy new lights"

"Shorter than expected bulb life. Recommend LED headlights"

"Moisture in the driver side headlight housing caused it to be replaced for $500. Then moisture kept blowing the lights out, headlights and others"

"A headlight burned out two separate times in a two-year period, and we took the car in and had it fixed. No problem in the 6 months since the last headlight fix"

"Had to replace high and low beamlighta because of moisture"

"Electrical short on one headlight, required new wiring harness"

"they burn out. one time for each headlight!"

"Headlights burnout - replace 1 to 2 each year. Toyota replacements last somewhat longer than Sylvania"

"The light bulbs. Urn out fairly frequently, however the last bulb change was 6 months ago"

"Bulbs burned out"

"Same headlight has gone out and been replaced 4 times in 1 month. Discovered that there is a short in the wiring and entire unit must be replaced"

"LED Brake light module on right side burned out. The mechanic said it was replaceable on later models, but not the early 2010s. It required the replacement of the entire right tail light assembly"

"licence plate lights burnt out. went to replace them and found the connector burned and broken like some kind of short"

"One or more of the lights (excluding the headlight) has blown out. Apparently the configuration of lights is complicated and there are more than one auxiliary lights. One in particular was expensive to repair. It has happened three times since I purc"

"A taillight already burned out once"

"As I mentioned previously, back light and license frame light"

"bulbs burn out frequently"

"Right front blinker light water leak allowed rain to collect inside clear cover"

"Brake lights would not be on"

"The passenger side "running" light fused to the plastic casing and shorted out"

"The overhead lights go through periods of turning on by themselves. The radio goes through periods of not responding to on/off or station controls"

"Keyless entry fob stopped working, and a new battery did not solve the problem. This should not go out in less than five years. Toyota does not consider this a warranty claim. We are generally very pleased with the Prius (our second) but this is t"

"Battery died on "key" or whatever the device is called. Had no idea battery would need replacement. Cost $12.00 to replace in both primary device and spare"

"On one keyless entry fob, the battery drained in a matter of a few weeks. It was replaced with a new one"

"When the 12V battery lost charge, the entry system became unreliable, replacing the battery partially resolved the problem but the shop had to completely reprogram it to fix it"

"Door lock actuators (all 4) have stripped and no longer unlock or lock the doors. I have to use the key that's locked in the FOB to unlock my car"

"doors wouldn't lock or unlock"

"Have to replace the key fob battery about every two months"

"The key battery is running down at an increasing rate. The latest new battery has lasted less than 1 month. Apparently we will need to purchase a new key. Notr cheap"

"Electronic door locks failed on 2 doors, but then started working again after I chose not to fix it (repair would be $700 per door!)"

"Erratic door opening operation with keyless remote"

"unreliable. won't unlock car. loses connection with keyless start. replacing battery did not help"

"Front door driver door lock actuator has stopped working. It needs to be replaced"

"Had to replace locks on first the Passenger door and then the driver side door. They would not lock or unlock using the interior button, the touch, or the key fob"

"defective, was reading tire pressure as too low when the dealer said it was okay"

"Tire pressure monitor light came on with no apparent reason with respect to the tire pressures. Two sensors displayed failure and were replaced. The light is back on again!!"

"Lights in cold weather. Stays on when weather warms"

"the pressure gauge on the tire seems to cause tire pressure. It is very costly to replace"

"Tire pressure monitor light seemed very sensitive to changes in tire pressure due to changes in air temperature. Toyota Dealer Service said that the sensor could be going bad. Since Spring weather has arrived I no longer have a problem with this issue, so I have not needed to replace the sensor"

"would not play at all. dealer installed new parts and it works fine now"

"USB will not work with any type of phone old or current"

"When vehicle has been idle for 24 hours, all of the warning lights come on and vehicle does not start. Start button indicates accessory mode. When the start button depressed two or more times to cancel accessory mode, vehicle starts normally"

"Light said get service immediately don't remember exactly but service rep said I needed service costing $750 +, but said there was no danger driving. I continued driving though a bit cautiously and the light went off within a week. I haven't had any"

"Engine light stays on"

"Some times the car would run fairly roughly and the engine warning lights came on. My wife took it to the nearby Toyota Dealer and they kept it over the weekend. They said there was corrosion on a traction battery junction. They fixed it and it has"

"Intermittently a generic warning symbol (yellow triangle with enclosed exclamation point) would suddently come up on the dash with a beep at slight deaccelerations, then disappear in a second or less"

"Warning lights have come on and don't go away. Have taken to dealer they could not fix it"

"Tire warning light is intermittent. Appears and disappears for no apparent reason"

"Needed replacing twice. Also needed additional work that did not require new motor but cost over $1000"

"Washer doesnt spray on a full wiper tank"

"Horn works intermittently, and of course, it works when i take it to the mechanic"

"Key is very expensive and battery went quickly"

"The system quit working last winter. The repair has never been 100% back to normal. Sometimes there is a split second delay in the braking when the brake pedal is pushed, and the antilock function sometimes doesn't kick in when called for"

"These brakes when you are approaching a stop sign or light on the brakes; if you encounter any sort of bumps or washboard surface lock me out of controlling the brakes (I have no brakes) for about 1 1/2 seconds which is way too much and very un-nervi"

"There have been 2 recalls in the last 3 years to fix an abs problem which involves braking while on a bumpy surface"

"Had to replace RR ABS wiring system. Sorry, included this in previous note. Also at 147000 kms"

"When braking on a small patch of ice the Brakes will Delay and then kick in and it will continue to pulsate even if transitioning on to wet pavement. Stopping distance is five times more than it should be under those conditions. Otherwise brakes"

"I have complained about this issue with Toyota for years. When backing up on in incline, the car's brakes seem to "take over" and have a mind of their own. The car also hydroplanes over potholes and the brakes fail to work"

"Factor recall on the ABS system. Upgraded software"

"See previous comments"

"Loss of braking power once brakes applied while traveling on rough surface"

"The car locks up and then seems to jump. I have run through stop signs because of the ABS"

"ABS became nonfunctional and could not be fixed for nearly a year, despite numerous trips to the dealer"

"Break hesitates when breaking over a bump"

"Poor braking on rough surfaces"

"ongoing issue with brakes 'disappearing' while braking and going over bumps - been reported to Toyota - they say it's not there"

"A switch or sensor attached to the accelerator failed. Covered by warranty"

"Believe that calipers had something to do with the previous problem resulting in damage to rotor, but I don't actually fully understand this"

"MPG dropped and accelaration response became sluggish for months before the dealership found a seized caliper"

"dealer advised me that we had to replace rear calipers and rotors - said they were rusted and one brake piston was seized"

"This is the second or third time we have had to have the brakes repaired. Seems the dust and dirt raises the dickens with them"

"Caliper fell apart. replaced Caliper, rotor and pads"

"2sets"

"Right Rear caliper locked on. Unable to drive care until repaired"

"Stuck caliper right rear required rear caliper rebuild both sides and two rear break disks and pads. Age related problem"

"at 84,000 k was informed by Toyota dealer that a rear caliper was seized and that both rear calipers and rotors should be replaced. Had that done, then at 116,000 k was told that rear caliper was again seized and had to be replaced"

"left rear brake caliper seized"

"Brake pads got jammed in caliper and told caliper and pads had to be replaced"

"Shortly after installation of new pads and rotors, a screeching sound emanated from the front, driver-side brake. The Toyota dealer found that the cylinder within the caliper had cracked, and a piece of the cylinder had broken. I had the caliper replaced. Dealer claimed to have never seen such a problem before, and speculated that something may have happened during the earlier brake job"

"I don't have a full understanding of the calipers issue, although I have been told that the calipers and the rotor issue that I just described are connected"

"covered by warranty"

"There was a safety recall on the master cylinder. Toyota took care of it"

"The Master Cylinder failed in my Prius, resulting in a repair that cost over $3,100. The reason for the failure was listed by the dealer as maintenance. Although the only maintenance that was done was by the dealer that they recommended. I had a recommended brake flush at 65k miles, and then again at 75k miles and the system failed at 85k miles. Incidentally, the failure was identical to that year model for which Toyota had a recall for that model and half year. Unfortunately, the month date my"

"I'm a sudden starp sudden stop driver and the brakes reflect my bad driving habits"

"Brakes all 4 had to be replaced"

"rusted rotors (winder road salt)"

"After a routine dealer service visit in October, 2014, I was advised that the brakes needed to be serviced due to a grinding noise. I postponed the service until April, 2015. For the most part, the brakes work perfectly. There is occasional noise whi"

"Rear drum brake rotor replacement. Fairly routine, but seemed a bit premature"

"needed new pads/rotors at 75,000"

"Recently had to replace both front and rear pads and rotors"

"replace brakes and rotor after 60000 miles"

"Front & rear brakes replaced at 80K miles"

"Squaring due to road salt accumulation on the pads which in turn scored the rotors. I had it repaired at a dealer and the repair cost was very reasonable. New pads and turning rotors"

"Rear brakes needed replacement after 120000 miles. Dealer probably overcharged me for the work"

"Needed all new brakes for all 4 wheels. It seemed a bit early for this"

"Normal wear, had to replace front & rear pads and, I think, 2 rotors at about 55,000 miles. Much better mileage than most of my previous cars"

"Live in a hilly area and brakes wear out more frequently. This was normal wear and tear to replace the pads and rotors"

"Had to have brake service on all four wheels. Expensive. Don't think this should have been needed at this low mileage"

"I had to replace the rear brake pads and rotors at 53,000 mi., which seemed premature to me"

"Brakes have needed work twice and will need some again when I go in. This is more frequent than I expected"

"One rear caliper seized up causing premature brake wear, damage to rotor, and squeaking"

"I believe brakes on Prii cars last much longer before brake pad replacement is needed because of the hybrid regenerative braking. I believe the average brake pad wear on all Prius models and generations is somewhere around 80,000 miles average for pa"

"Rear brakes were all rusted & had to be rebuilt prior to any work on front discs"

"Brakes worn out at 48000 miles. Regenerative brakes should last a lot longer. I had over 100000 miles on my 2007 Prius front brakes. Plus these (2010) were rear disk brakes which do less braking as a general rule"

"brake pads were worn out at 32,000 miles"

"Brakes needed to be replaced at approximately 48,000 miles, very expensive repair on back brakes alone. There continues to be a problem with squealing, grinding with braking"

"rear brake pads wearing unevenly to metal and damage to rotors, two years in a row. Dealer would not honor extended Toyota warranty"

"One caliper jammed probably due to dirt and wore out pads, damaged rotor. New pads, turned rotor = $500"

"corrosion on brake calipers cause disc drag on rotors leading to excessive wear. Vehicle serviced on schedule by toyota dealer and brakes always marked "ok.""

"Did not use the car much, and have to constantly repair brakes"

"rear pads and rotors replaced at 84,000 k, front pads and rotors at 100,000 k, rear pads and rotors again replaced at 116,00 k"

"I have to have the brakes and rotors replaced. And I spent about $300 the year previous on the emergency brake. I'm hugely disappointed to have to put this kind of money into brake work, when the Prius is supposed to not need much brake work over its lifetime. I had a Honda Civic 5-speed for 9 years and never even had to have new brake pads installed. I purchased this Prius used in 2013 when it already had 60K miles, so I don't know what kind of driving those first 60K miles were like. But stil"

"I drove a 2005 Toyota Prius for 165,000 miles and never needed a brake job (replacement of pads and rotors). I have had two such brake jobs done on my 2010 Prius, which, to date, has only 123,000 miles on it"

"Needed to replace bak pads nd drums after about 40000miles"

"The Toyota dealers are quick to replace brake rotors on brake pad replacement wear because rotor wear is not covered by warranty while calipers are rebuilt at owners expense instead of being replaced because if replacement is needed then this would"

"brakeshoe froze in position against rotor resulting in damage to rotor, resulting in its replacement"

"dealer advised that rear rotors had to be replaced"

"Premature rust on rotors required replacement"

"Rotors worn out or rather dealer refused to resurface them"

"Something caused both rear brake disks to scar so badly that they had to be replaced"

"Brakes rusted up tight and chewed themselves to pieces. back breaks"

"Rotors had to be replaced early with rear wheels. Very costly"

"needed new rotors for all 4 wheels"

"60000 miles and 3 sets of rear brakes rotors and calipers"

"Rear rotors completely rusted out by 40000 miles. Front rotors are still fine at over 50000 miles"

"Normal wear and tear. The Prius had over 110k miles before it's first brake job"

"rear brakes and pads replaced because they would not pass state inspection"

"Have had to replace brakes twice"

"Squeeked but only after 161,000 Unbelievably good"

"Brake pad "froze" against rotors requiring replacement of latter. This is second time in 2 years that is has happened. Tried complaining to Toyota that this must be a design flaw. I was pretty much ignored"

"Typical northern New England rust"

"see previous comment about my driving habits"

"Brakes started to make noise and when I took it in I had to have all 4 calipers replaced and the rotors turned. This seemed premature at only 40000 miles when you consider that electric resistance braking should minimize brake wear"

"Replaced both bad rear wheel bearings"

"Brake pads were worn"
