    What Owners Say

    Other minor engine problem

    "Common problem in Toyota Hybrids in extreme cold like Fairbanks AK, -20F to -40F. Manufacturer denies it or won't discuss it, begrudgingly repairs it under warranty. But it's well documented among users online. Below about -15F, air condenses with icing in the air intake, causing errors in the fuel mixing. Also produces electronic errors in the charging system. Installation of engine block heaters, battery-buddy chargers, battery chargers, etc. do not remedy this. Never re-occurs in moderate winter temps (down to -10F) or in coastal winter conditions (30F to -5F)."
