2010 Toyota Prius Iii Hatchback 4-door 1.8l on 2040-cars

Davidson, North Carolina, United States

I bought this car on ebay in 2010 with 15,000 miles on it from a gentleman from Wyoming.  It had hailed and dinted every panel on the car.  Let me repeat that EVERY PANNEL ON THE CAR.  But I was going to be driving 300 miles+ each week to participate in a masters program 3 hours away.  

So, I've now got a 150,000 mile car (mostly highway miles) with dents on every panel but is in great condition otherwise.  Only issue was a dear strike that replaced the front right headlight and windshield and left minor damage on number.  See pics.  I get about 45 MPG setting the cruse control at 9 over (79 MPH) for most of my driving. 

I'm replacing this vehicle with a F-250 Diesel truck that runs on veggie oil.  Only thing better than a Prius is a grease truck.  One more thing you should know, I'm turning the Prius into a solar PV system for my house.  Fun projects.  Please write with questions.

Toyota Expands Airbag Recall To 2.2 Million Vehicles Worldwide

Wed, Jun 11 2014

Was your Toyota inspected under the company's recall campaign for faulty airbag inflators last year? You might have another trip ahead to have it repaired again. The automotive giant says that it found "the involved serial numbers provided by the supplier were incomplete, and did not include all of the potentially involved inflators," according to its official announcement. That means more replacements are needed. Toyota's April 2013 inflator recall covered the Corolla, Matrix and Tundra from the 2003 and 2004 model years, the Sequoia from 2002 to 2004 and the Lexus SC 430 from 2002 to 2004. At the time, the company said it would need to inspect about 510,000 vehicles in the US but only expected to replace around 170,000 inflators. However, the latest announcement increases that figure to about 766,300 vehicles in the US. Toyota spokesperson Cindy Knight told Autoblog that the new amount is the combination of owners who need to have their vehicle looked at again and those who didn't come in for the initial recall. The company learned about the problem when Takata, the supplier, provided it with an improved list of the faulty part's serial numbers. According to The Detroit Free Press, the latest recall affects about 2.27 million vehicles from them worldwide. Knight said owners would receive notification of the problem around the end of the month but repairs would come in phases because the automaker doesn't have all of the necessary parts at the moment. The original problem occurred because the front passenger airbag inflator from Takata could have an improper propellant that could cause it to burst in an accident and not allow the airbag to deploy properly. Toyota inspected all the vehicles listed but only changed the inflators with specific serial numbers. Now, it's replacing them all. This wasn't just a problem for Toyota, though. Honda, Nissan and Mazda also used the faulty inflators and issued recalls at the same time. Autoblog has contacted the other Japanese automakers about whether similar campaigns are necessary for them. We will update this story, if we hear back from them. Scroll down to read Toyota's announcement. UPDATE: Honda spokesperson Jessica Howell sent along the following statement: Honda is aware that Toyota recently announced a recall of front passenger's airbag inflators. Honda is not aware of any incidents in our vehicles related to Toyota's action. We are currently investigating the potential implications to Honda vehicles.

Toyota Tacoma helps stand up to your girlfriend, mimes, magicians and the Grim Reaper

Mon, 26 Aug 2013

It takes a lot to get a product noticed in today's fast-paced world, but one avenue that's always seemed to grab the eyeballs of consumers has been humor. Toyota knows this rule well, and has put together a quartet of spots called "Tacoma Wins," in which the midsize pickup's features and specifications best a number of seemingly worthy competitors.
Whether it be sobbing girlfriends, a circus magician, a grim reaper or the scariest thing of all, a mime, the Tacoma looks well equipped to deal with it. Take a look below for all four of Toyota's newest spots.
