What Owners Say
"The GPS antenna (mounted to the underside of the dashboard top) was not secured. At certain speeds it would vibrate, causing a rattle. The third time I took had it in for service, the dealership was able to identify the cause and reseal the antenna mount."
Anonymous, TX (2017 Toyota Prius Four 1.8-L 4 Cyl hybrid)"Sound of small screw? Tiny piece of plastic? In central dashboard area near air vent and radio. Both radio and air vent work fine, noise not audible at highway speeds. Dealer will fix at maintenance visit, but I must agree to leave car for overnight without loaner. So...I'm still annoyed by the sound."
Anonymous, CA (2017 Toyota Prius Four 1.8-L 4 Cyl hybrid)"unresolved rattle in dash, unknown reason"
Anonymous, MO (2017 Toyota Prius Four Touring 1.8-L 4 Cyl hybrid)"There is an INTERMITTENT rattle near the upper instrument cluster. I drove it home with the rattle. The dealer assured me they could get it fixed. Three dealerships later I still have the rattle. I'm out of warranty, but have an Incident Number since there have been so many unsuccessful attempts to fix the rattle. That will will extend the dealers' responsibility to fix it. My next recourse is to get a phone video recording of the rattle. Of course, being intermittent, it never acts up on the test drives with the repair tech. I salute the dealerships for trying, but this can be a very annoying problem since in general the vehicle is very quiet."
Anonymous, FL (2017 Toyota Prius Three 1.8-L 4 Cyl hybrid)"Very lour and annoying rattle behind the display, was intermittent in nature but very obvious and disconcerting when present. Took multiple(over 3) trips to the dealer to finally get it resolved,. It's gone for the most part. Still the occasional minor rattle."
Anonymous, CA (2017 Toyota Prius Three 1.8-L 4 Cyl hybrid)"Started at least 12 months ago. Happens on any slightly rough road, even asphalt, at any speed. Toyota guy said he couldn't hear it on test drive, so not resolved."

Mark C., CA (2017 Toyota Prius Three 1.8-L 4 Cyl hybrid)"When initially bought the car had squeaks with the radio system. They replaced it at no cost. Recently getting squeaks which I cannot tell are coming from the radio or the AC. Have not brought it in because I want to get more info on when it occur first. Not constant."
Anonymous, NC (2017 Toyota Prius Two 1.8-L 4 Cyl hybrid)"Dash squeaks a bit. There is a TSB (technical service bulletin) for a fix, but I didn't do anything since I didn't want the dash pulled apart. I can live with a few squeaks."

Anonymous, MA (2017 Toyota Prius Four Touring 1.8-L 4 Cyl hybrid)"A bothersome rattle started in the right dashboard after only 2000 miles in my new Prius. It's really a bad rattle on poor roads. Dealer says he can't hear it during test drive so hasn't fixed it yet."
Anonymous, AZ (2017 Toyota Prius Three 1.8-L 4 Cyl hybrid)"There is an intermittent rattle in the upper instrument cluster. It occurs on rough paved roads and has since I drove it home. I've had the dealership check it several times. Twice they couldn't make it rattle. Once they tho't it was a seal UNDER the dashboard, but that repair didn't stop it. It gets loud sometimes and is annoying any time it happens. We expected better from a brand new car."
