2002 | Charles L. | RENO NV | 11/09/09 | 4.00 | Steering motor shaking violently on occasion at low/no speed - control of wheel takes force to stop | 2002 | Peter B. | FAIRFAX STATION VA | 09/30/09 | 4.00 | Check Engine light is on. | 2002 | Robert L. | SUMNER TX | 06/22/09 | 2.00 | Biggest problem is computer that is sensitive to cold and hot weather. Must reset warning lights frequently. Very expensive to repair. Any savings in fuel is lost with one trip to dealer to look at codes and reset, God forbid if the batteries need replacing. | 2002 | Andrew P. | INDIANAPOLIS IN | 04/23/09 | 4.00 | I have had very few problems with my Prius. Any minor difficulties I did have were corrected easily. | 2002 | Nam N. | PLEASANT HILL CA | 12/29/08 | 4.00 | A bit less power than expected but still at 45 MPG and no troubles after 75K and 7 years. | 2002 | Don R. | MIDLAND CITY AL | 12/09/08 | 2.00 | battery & steering recalls, lots of trouble with check engine & other alarm symbols activating. ECM defect seems to be cause, $1700+ to fix. | 2002 | David S. | FRAMINGHAM MA | 09/14/08 | 3.00 | I just purchased a used 2002. | 2002 | Jeff L. | SAN MARCOS CA | 04/01/08 | 3.00 | odd behavior when ran out of gas but otherwise good vehicle | 2002 | Paul N. | POINT ARENA CA | 12/18/06 | 3.00 | I like the Prius in general, but we have had an ongoing problem since it was first purchased. At random times the car won't start and the auxilliary battery has lost it's charge. I have taken car for service at least 5 times on this problem. Each time given a different diagnosis. The car is easily jump started and then runs fine. Weeks may go by and then the problem reoccures. Sometimes the problem persists for two or three days, then car starts fine. Most recently took the car into dealership, let it sit for 2-3 days and car started fine, they did diagnostic tests and could find nothiing wrong. Now, three weeks later car won't start and Check engine lights on.
