I have a friend who has been driving his Prius since 2005, 169k on it and he bought it new.
He was at the Toyota dealer today for diagnosis of loss in power and low battery charge levels and was told he had some bad cells in the battery pack.....
$4200 to replace.
No warranty on the battery pack at this age and mileage.
With the Prius seemingly so popular I have not heard much about battery pack failure in the 10 years they have been around.
Anyone else experience this or know someone who has and what did they do with the car?
