My 2010 Prius 2 gave me the brake booster kiss of death this weekend. 200k mi. As far as I understand I'm not eligible for any recall. Anyone know what the going rate is on this repair at a dealer? No info over the phone about parts availability or price until I take the hit and tow it in and...

My 2010 Prius horn went off when I was backing up and wouldn’t stop. Eventually - after 20 minutes in a parking lot - it did, but now every time I turn the wheel it will honk without me touching it. From what I’ve researched, this has to do with a broken plastic clip inside the wheel or a...

Hi, I'm looking for a source for the 4 pin connectors, both mail and female, used for the cooling fans on the traction battery for the Highlander Hybrid and Priuses. It's also used for various other items. I can't find them having searched the web for hours. I need them with pigtails (wired)...

I have a 2021 Prius that has had a creaking that occurs intermittently when driving. It’s definitely a noise. It doesn’t happen when using the brake pedal, it only happens when the pedal isn’t in use. I isolated it to the brake because when I put my foot behind the pedal, I can stop the sound...

Hello all, I have a 2022 Prius Prime on the way. With the full EV range, I don't expect to use the gas engine too often. What would you suggest for fueling up? I was thinking to operate with about a 1/4 tank (no need to carry extra weight) and add some fuel stabilizer. Any thoughts? Does...

Hi all. I have a 2009 Toyota Prius that is a truly remarkable vehicle. The only problem is the paint. FL weather and neglect has the clear coat looking and feeling like sandpaper. I didn't want to spend the $$$ on painting the vehicle, and purchased a paint repair kit online. Will read the...

Hi all, Just picked up a 2021 XLE. I'll admit upfront that I'm not very vehicle savvy. I have two questions: First, I understand that the recent rash of catalytic converter thefts have mostly targeted the Prius; is the 2021 Highlander Hybrid designed in such a way that the catalytic converter...

Hey Everyone, Looking for some expert input. My parent's dealer told them they had to get their brake pads and rotors replaced due to rust. They have 7,500 miles on the vehicle and have not driven it recently due to the pandemic. The dealer said the inactivity of the vehicle had led to moisture...

My '10 Prius was an awesome car. I averaged 54 MPG but with the complexity were some problems. The brake accumulator was running every 15 seconds ($3k to $4k to fix), radio was acting up, door lock actuator on the drivers side wouldn't unlock and TPMS light would come on from time to time. It...
