1 Radio/tape Cd Player problem

Failure Date: 05/14/2013

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.

2010 Toyota Prius has problem with the fm radio. ***** the consumer stated the fm radio had excessive, intermittent static and easily lost signals, even on high wattage. The traffic feature which automatically located bay area fm traffic stations did not always work because the signal was so distorted as she drives further out of the city.
