My back-up camera went dark & stopped working in the center console. This rendered the entire console inoperable; navigation, radio, bluetooth, etc. I went to the Toyota dealer, & called Toyota. I was told this happens with jbl equipment, & it is not covered under warranty. My vehicle only has 43,252 miles on it. They told me that I could pay $2500 for a refurbished camera/console. This does not seem to be fair to the consumer. I do not like driving around without the back-up camera--a safety feature, & this is a known problem to Toyota & their dealers. Toyota should extend the warranty on this center console on this model.

The instrument panel visibility had diminished to the extent that when driving in bright sun lit days the instruments were un readable, as the incident light from the surrounding area in the vehicle washed out the display visibility. Not being able to read the panel, especially the speed, becomes dangerous. The service department checked the 12 volt battery and found that it was not as it should be. Battery was replaced.. thinking that could be the problem, and after reviewing the info available from the manufacturer they thought it would solve the problem. It has not. This condition does not exist at night when the rheostat dimmer is activated. The dimmer does not affect the display when in the dimmer off, or on, in the daylight.

The contact test drove a 2010 Toyota Prius from a authorized dealer. He states that he was wearing polarized sunglasses. He had extreme difficulty reading the instrument panel cluster and speedometer gauge which exhibited dim lighting. The VIN was unavailable. Bl updated 10/09/09 the consumer stated the vehicle has a dashboard display just below the windshield that reports the speed, fuel level and other operating information. The display is a reflected image of a vacuum-fluorescent display inside the dash. Unfortunately, the reflection path polarizes the displayed image so that it is all but unreadable through polarized sunglasses. Updated 10/16/09.
