Prius

  • 21,338 miles
While my 2004 Toyota Prius was in the shop for its 30,000 mile maintenance, my mechanic found that the water pump has been leaking coolant (photos available). The car has only 21,600 miles, and its water pump should last at least three times as long. My local berkeley Toyota dealer had three '04 Prius pumps on hand which is indicative that many Prius' are experiencing such a water pump failure. I'm writing to inform you of what appears to be a substandard part on 2004 Prius'.
