'takata recall ' I believe there is a major problem with toyota prius v they make it only for five years, they stop making it after 2016 because they realize there is so much problems in the engine, many car this model the engine get in fires, head gasket had to be replaced at 125,000 mile. Hybrid battery it go bad at 120,000 miles where is most prius hybrid battery go for 250,000 mile minimum. My prius be in gin ga on fire because there is a piece of metal from the engine fell down in the engin block and the engine break down with a big hole and most of the engine oil came down in to the muffler and my car got on fire. And that's happened I was driving on the freeway and there is no check engine light came on as a warning when that piece of metal from the valve lifter I believe fill down in to the block.
Mice invading inside of car and air conditioning systems. Destroying interior and air filtration system. Can spread disease including hantavirus with droppings. I think this is due to using soy based wire coverings that attrach rodents. Can also affect wiring inside the car.
Vermin attracted to eco-friendly high-voltage wiring sheath located in engine compartment. Vermin chewed through sheathing and exposed bare high-voltage electrical cable. Vehicle parked and secured when event occurred.
After parked for 20 minutes, the car is dead, had to jump start. Battery was replaced by the dealer, but the issue was not taking care of. At least 3 more times since the battery replacement, I found my car was again ded after parking, can not even open the door with remote. But all 3 times the car was able to power on after a few minutes on it's own while waiting for tow... Above that, the clock, trip odometer and temp settings were resetting on random times since 650 miles, as well as the radio which will turn on and off at random. Dealer replaced the radio but it still does the same. I was told that they (dealer) can't tell anything wrong with the car, and can't do anything about it, unless it's dead while it's in their shop, even after I showed them the photos and videos of the issues.
