Report: The Hybrid Transmission May Fail Prematurely
Toyota Prius Problem
Model Years Affected: 2001, 2002, 2003
Verified
The hybrid transmission may fail prematurely. Our technicians recommend changing the transmission fluid every 30K miles in order to help prolong transmission life. There is a small square pan on the bottom of the transmission which should be removed to allow more fluid to drain. This service recommendation is over and above the Toyota recommendation to "check" the transmission fluid every 30k miles.
