| Description of the problem | The head gasket in the engine failed at 120000 miles and when starting the car in the morning the whole car shook and shuddered. The same problem happened to my friends car a 2015 model at 70000 miles so i think this is a faulty gasket toyota has used in all its prius v model cars from 2013 to 2016 years therefore there should be a recall of these cars which toyota should fix without charge. I spent $3985 to fix the problem. |
