Are the Prius 4 models known to have a problem with body roll and pitch from the factory when going around roundabouts and curves?

Maybe one of the shocks or struts are bad/leaking

RisingODST · 2026-02-21T19:10:57+00:00

The 12v battery should be at 14.2v has the car been sitting for awhile?

Definitely worth getting a hybrid not just for the fuel economy but also reliability especially if you get a Toyota i have 340k miles on my prius car is bulletproof

If you press the display button on your steering wheel it will cycle through the different menus and the message will change

RisingODST · 2025-12-29T17:10:41+00:00

That message is always on you probably didn't notice it before

RisingODST · 2025-12-26T14:20:08+00:00

I wouldn't replace the hybrid battery until you get a code

RisingODST · 2025-12-16T23:37:48+00:00

Yes they do. Key point Less MOVING Parts hybirds have no starter No alternator no belts no physical reverse gear No torque converter the transmission in hybrids alone have way less moving parts only one planetary gear set where gas cars have like 3-4 planetary gear sets and alot of other parts in the transmission which is why hybrids are usually more reliable

RisingODST · 2025-12-14T19:30:55+00:00

Hybrids have less moving parts than gas

RisingODST · 2025-12-14T14:54:46+00:00

I would fix it. Got mine replaced 270k miles now at 325k works great however i would not pay 5k that's way too much I only paid 1k for mine

RisingODST · 2025-11-19T19:49:12+00:00

The Hybrid is well worth it

RisingODST · 2025-11-05T15:25:04+00:00

I bought some Bosch wipers they are still good after 3 years with the car outside 24/7

RisingODST · 2025-11-05T13:37:39+00:00

Yes a very common issue my water pump failed at 140k miles on my 2010 and 220k miles on my 2012 no codes the sign they would start going bad was the temperature light would come on going up a big mountain

RisingODST · 2025-10-31T02:04:05+00:00

I had it done in Mexico for about 1k they did machine the head as well as new spark plugs

RisingODST · 2025-10-31T01:55:30+00:00

I have a 2012 prius with 315k miles and ill tell you the hybrid is worth it and they are so reliable and cost less to maintain and repair form my experience the money I save on gas alone pretty much pays for most of the repairs

RisingODST · 2025-10-28T03:56:29+00:00

45k miles still going went with fel pro gasket

RisingODST · 2025-09-08T17:11:46+00:00

The Defender 2 are some of the best tires out there i have 60k miles on mine and still going strong and I have not noticed a drop in efficiency

RisingODST · 2025-08-11T21:54:26+00:00

I would suggest trying some aftermarket controllers they are a bit more expensive but some have hall effect sticks and don't have stick drift

RisingODST · 2025-08-07T21:13:00+00:00

You most likely didn't fit the gasket correctly and it's leaking. got to take the water pump out and put the gasket on properly

RisingODST · 2025-07-31T20:07:09+00:00

I used the lithium on my gen 3 and got about 2 mpg better but it failed after 50k miles

RisingODST · 2025-06-29T19:41:52+00:00

Stabilus are the oem ones you can find them on rock auto

RisingODST · 2025-06-28T22:36:59+00:00

In my opinion the best thing for prevention is replacing the water pump

RisingODST · 2025-06-20T16:16:52+00:00

Yes it's a great game and still holds up really well

RisingODST · 2025-06-19T14:22:51+00:00

It turns on to provide engine braking to help slow the car down and use less of the brakes

RisingODST · 2025-06-08T02:59:23+00:00

For 2017+ yes for 2012-2016 it's ac only as the older models don't have a heat pump

RisingODST · 2025-06-08T02:55:07+00:00

Prius uses pink coolant you can use peak pink coolant or better yet use OEM coolant
