    no worries. we are seeing a few, but not a lot. you probably have many happy motoring miles in front of you.

    they can't try to sell you a new battery if you don't have any dash lights/troublecodes

    yeah my nice person.. .thats exactly what my advisor was trying to do.

    NO dash lights or any battery issues at all. As well as my average mpg was around 44mpg and the best was 47.5mpg.
    he was telling me how like 1-12 modules were all bad. im like Wth. no thank you.

    Update on my battery issues.

    1. Yes the 12 volt was failing. It was OEM, 10 years old. I replaced with one from AutoZone. Easy DIY.

    2. The hybrid battery error cods were real, it was also 10 years old an failing. Dr Prius 'Life Expectancy' score was 34%, 'Replace Battery'.

    3. Toyota Corp came through and paid $2k of the $2900 hybrid battery replacement cost. The new battery has a Dr Prius score of 107% 'New Battery'

    I found this:

    "Toyota is recalling about 2.4 million hybrid cars worldwide that could stall while driving. The Japanese automaker said Friday that the recall affects about 807,000 Toyota Prius cars in the U.S. It covers certain 2010 to 2014 Prius hybrids and certain 2012 to 2014 Prius V hybrids."

    It's easier to search up details when you make sure to type a zero between the J and the V, not a letter O.

    I did.. about 2 or 3 weeks ago. Hopefully it won't happen to me. Tbh, I can't afford to spend any more money on this vehicle.
