As an avid used Prius buyer
As an avid used Prius buyer from auction almost all Prius from 2010-2016 will Experience this head gasket failure. I am shocked no one has rattled Toyota corporate for this well known issue. Toyota doesn’t care as it’s out of warranty and gives two shits about it. I wonder if it’s happening to gen 4 as well and wonder when we will see a flood show up with the issue. You can fix the head gasket only and it will survive everyone I’ve done has worked great. My plugin is at 245k and my V is at 299k both with new HG. The main freaking issue you will have after this is oil consumption. Every dealer knows about the old xb rav4 Recalls for oil burning and the Prius is also one of those. You will have to fill you’re Prius every 3 days depending how bad you’re low tension rings are. Shame on you Toyota for not fixing such a simple issue. Then again I almost have 300k lol
