There should be a recall on this, since so many other Third Generation Prius owners have had this same problem. My mechanic says he is working on two others before me, and that he has had several others in the past few years. He says that it is a common occurrence between 200,000 and 250,000 miles. I have also read Toyota forums where people are complaining about this issue. In addition, I have personally met various ride-share drivers who have had to deal with this issue too. We need a class action lawsuit to deal with this.
The first signs of a blown head gasket have to do with an engine knocking sound, lower radiator water levels, warning lights, codes: P0301 or P0300. Poor engine performance, i.e. horsepower and mileage. If people do not address this issue immediately, it can ruin the engine and will need to be replaced.
