Myriad of issues
Hey y'all, im in the market for a 5th gen prime/plugin. Ideally but will go with New if it fixes issues below. Through browsing and researching i'm coming across quite a few problems with the 5th gen:
- 12v Battery dying
- Tire blowouts & tire sizing
- Premature tire wear/lack of rear camber adjustment
- A/C compressor failure requiring full replacement of hvac lines due to debris
I know some issues are more minor than others, and that there's a false-consensus effect here where those that have issues are more likely to post than those that dont. But i'd still like to get perspectives here on whether buying the 5th gen is still worth despite these issues?
Obviously a solution is to just buy a car with limited warranty remaining or extended warranty, but i'd like to keep the car until the wheels fall off and i'm not seeing that with the current state of Toyota quality. Let me hear your thoughts!
