At the time we bought the car we were wary of the cost of the hybrid batteries. The salesman told us $4000 if they needed to be replaced. We had all the cutoff engine problems that others are reporting. Happened to me on the 99 freeway and was almost hit. We had the hybrid water pump replaced before the recall. Drove it for about a year afterwards.
At Christmas 2014 it would not start. It is now at the local dealer and they have told us they need to replace the hybrid system and quoted us $10,000 for the batteries and $1600 for the labor, for a total cost of $11,600! We are now faced with finding a junkyard that is going to take a 9 year old car, 4WD, leather seats, sunroof and 155,000 miles in perfect condition that is a total loss. Corporate office told us sorry you were at the leading edge of this technology. This a way to reward your customers who had faith in your company name, by punishing them? My husband is driving a 2003 Toyota Tundra that has 320,000 miles on it with no major problems.
What I am wondering is did their faulty cooling system cause this battery failure?
