    Got across an article about the experience of a Prius 2001 owner and a Toyota service isue.
    HybridCars article.
    Something to have in consideration after few years of great driving. ;)

    I was under the impression that the Prius (at least the Gen 2) was designed with covers, etc. that protect against corrosion. Of course, this article seems to be grinding an axe...

    I don't know about the service numbers, but if you know the number you're probably right.

    I do recall reading here on PC that what was presumed to be a bad cell or cells was fixed by cleaning up the corrosion.
