    Hello All,

    I became a proud owner of a used Prius last month and one thing I started looking for is a list of major issues and (potential) resolutions. Since some of the Toyota TSBs cover certain issues under certain warranties, I have been anxious to get a list of things I should check my Prius out for so I can get them resolved before the warranties expire.

    So far, below is a limited list of issues I have gleaned from the limited time I spent on the forum:

    1. Brakes do not work properly in certain snowy situations?
    - TSB fix?

    2. Rear hatch struts do not work properly in colder climates?
    - TSB fix?

    3. Rattle noises on some Gen3 Prii?
    - no known fix?

    I would appreciate additions/modifications/deletions which I promise to edit this post with for the benefit of new/existing owners.

    If this post generates enough info, perhaps the moderator would be inclined to make this sticky.

    Thanks much.
