    Anybody having rust holes in the frame of their 2012 pruis? I just got this new on mine and it’s only got 94,000 miles on it. It has been in Vermont for its entire life. I’m wondering if you have any experience with getting rust holes in framed repaired in the Burlington, VT area?

    Better look the whole underside over. Or maybe not...

    Is this a regular Prius, or the "Prius v" (larger version Toyota introduced in 2012, name confused with 2010~2011 Prius, level V.). If the latter you're technically posting in wrong forum, nut that it matters much; the underside and suspension is similar, and rust is rust.
