IPM Warranty Enhancement Notification Received in the Mail

Have you had the EOE Software Update completed prior to this?

 

There have been reports of long lead times for the Inverter parts due to the number of failures that Toyota has been experiencing.

Is the dealer supplying you with a rental car? If not he should be.

 

Wow. Now I feel lucky. My 2010 Prius IV has "only" been at the dealership for 2-weeks. But it only had 61,000 miles when the hybrid system failure occurred. I like the car & had been thinking about buying another. But this whole experience makes me take pause. Although the dealership has given me a free rental -- a brand new Corolla with only 36 miles on it.

 

it's pretty unusual. in my 3 pri and 10 years, i haven't had any problems, but i don't blame you.

 

well played.

 

I got my car back after 2-1/2 weeks

 

we had this recently: all of the warning lights as well as the "Check Hybrid System" light came on my 2010 Prius II (110,000 miles).

We had gotten the software update when it was issued (6 months ago?) but , still, got error codes that the transistors/inverter had a problem. The parts had to be ordered (1 day) and they fixed it in 3-4 hours. so 2-3 days in the shop.

What is "intelligent power module"? is that the same as the problem that I got? OK, according to the Toyota Owners Service data entered by my dealer, "REPLACE POWER MODULE INTELLIGENT TRANSISTOR KIT TAS". So....same issue?

I guess 4 years of the transistors under high temperature affected the transistors that the (delayed) software update was a little too late.

I was covered under the 8/150K hybid system warranty because I am in one of those 7 states covered by the extended warranty (CA, MA, RI, etc.). I wonder if Toyota will cover this issue for cars in states that do not have this extended warranty but see failures after the software update.

 

yes, same issue. i suspect they will cover it, because it could be a pr nightmare.
