problem #1

Jul 102014

Prius 4-cyl

  • 46,000 miles
As the navigation/gps system was being used on a long trip, the backlight suddenly burned out. Upon touch, the screen was extremely hot. (it did not cool down until appx. 1 hour after the backlight had malfunctioned. With the backlight not working, it renders the entire navigation system, bluetooth, back-up camera, audio system/cd player useless and not useable.(entire screen is black.) although the vehicle is only 2 1/2 years old, it is no longer covered under the manufacturer's warranty. The part costs between $2400 and $4500 to replace. Numerous complaints have been recorded on various complaint boards about the same issue on 2010 and 2011 Prius cars by consumers.
