Front rattling when I go over a bump like rail road tracks. Took it in to dealer. $340 just to look at it because it’s a hybrid. I got them down to half after arguing it is the front steering not the batteries. The fix will take 5 hours to get to it ? Also an oil leak on the timing chain cover. Total out the door $1800 wow first he said because of the age they would have to do a coolant flush for the engine and the inverter plus other things total would be $5000. I said heck no. Fix what needs to be fixed and I will get the other stuff done later. Okay here is the kicker. I retired and my 2016 Prius V has 24,890 miles on it, change oil and kept it up. Why are the costs so high for regular maintenance? What could be the rattling that takes 5 hours to repair get to it? Thanks new on this.
