You don't have a clue what the issue was because nobody ever tried to find it. Dealerships employ "parts replacers" not mechanics, and nobody ever...
This thread is pointless because the OP has no clue where the oil was going, and never will. There's a pretty long list of possible causes. most...
There are more than a few Prius-v cabs running around with 200-300k miles on them on the original engine. If this was even close to a common...
12v battery?
Not long ago here someone posted about a dealer installing a block heater, and running the 110v cord through the radiator cooling fan so it...
Yes, obstructed ventilation is most common. A dead cooling fan would be next.
New tires always lower MPG, regardless. They have to wear in. The dealers always under-inflate them too.
The more important information is whether those 2 trips had any variation in MPG.
I've noticed the same thing in 2 different hybrids. My best explanation is that the engine isn't working hard enough to make much heat. Also in...
The dealer can cut one with the key code. May locksmiths can too.
^^^ That's just silly. All you need is the mechanical key. With the system set to lock all doors with the driver's door, use the key to lock it....
I would add that in at least some models it also functions to create a sort of "ducting" for the battery ventilation.
Pretty different tires. I had the ES-AS on my Prius-v and have Primacy on my Rav4 HV, I had the Premier briefly on the Rav. It was much the same...
Yeah there is, behind the center pop-off cover at the bottom of the hatch. This is detailed with images in the manual.
No, but I replace 12v batteries on spec every 3-4 years. If one ever gets completely drained, its gone the next day.
Depends on what battery they put in there, but it could last 6 years even. The caveat here is the OEM battery, which is crap. Living in the desert...
There was nothing "sudden" about the battery failure, its been planning to happen since 2012. A 4-year old battery and high temps are a recipe for...
Good grief, the dealership is the LAST place to expect to get reliable information. If Toyota sponsored such a thing directly and left the dealers...
Only a dealership knuckle dragger would route a cord through the louver vanes. Seriously stupid. Anyway, I'd wager that nearly every possible...
The hybrid system traction battery won't care how cold it is. The 12v battery doesn't do any actual cranking and so isn't really affected by...
