"Trim tends to come off inside of doors"
Anonymous A., AZ (2015 Toyota Prius Four 1.8-L 4 Cyl hybrid)""If my previous is my everyday, the side bumper, on the front end of the vehicle seem to be coming off. I can press it back in with the palm of my hand though. Making it flush with the body again but I do have to smack it in when I come home from work""
Anonymous A., CA (2015 Toyota Prius Two 1.8-L 4 Cyl hybrid)"Plastic pulls holding bumpers have failed Thousands to fix or heavy duty duct tape cheap"
Anonymous, CA (2015 Toyota Prius Four 1.8-L 4 Cyl hybrid)""The front plastic molding came off from accidentally getting too close to concrete parking markers. We can't see over the hood to tell where the front of the car is in reference to the marker. When we pulled out of the parking space, the molding disconnected from the car. It's just plastic, with a plastic fastener, and the front is too low for many concrete markers. The problem isn't resolved; we have to be extra careful when we park.""
Anonymous A., CA (2015 Toyota Prius Two 1.8-L 4 Cyl hybrid)""Similar issue to the front bumpers, they are almost trying to come away from the car but I can press it in. It doesn't sound like anything snaps out of place or into place but I can just use my palm and press it flush with the body.""

Anonymous, CA (2015 Toyota Prius Three 1.8-L 4 Cyl hybrid)"The paint job is terrible! I even looked up to see if there was a recall. the paint is fading and the top is rusting. Love this car, but the paint job makes it look terrible and one definete reason I would not buy another. I realize that I do live in Florida and we have some harsh weather, but nothing like this has ever happened to any of my other cars."
