my 2017 prius (150k km) decided it didnt want to start last weekend, all dash lights and triangle! were on and the messages were that the hybrid system had malfunctioned (it was also saying other systems were malfunctioning). the 12v battery was drained and dead so that was replaced and the mechanic i took it to couldnt do any more, so they brought it to toyota. the dealership is telling me its the inverter converter and that this is a very rare issue. they are expecting about $5000 for parts ($3100), labour and the diagnostics. and that they cant get the part until the end of the month. has this happened to anyone else? is this what I should expect for cost? does anyone know if in Canada for the 2017 models if there is an extended warranty on the inverters?
