problem #1

Jul 122006

Prius 4-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 50,000 miles
Tail lights on my '04 Prius are slowly melting, and as a result, the decorative black plastic inside the assembly is obscuring the brake lights to the point that they are barely visible. I will need to replace these soon; Toyota refuses to do it, saying I am out of warranty.
