Two problems related to engine failure have been reported for the 2014 Toyota Prius. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
The head gasket in the engine failed at 200k miles and when starting the car in the morning the whole car hook and shuddered. The same problem happened to all my other Prius v models at approximately 200k miles so I think this is a faulty gasket Toyota has used in all its Prius v model cars from 2012 to 2016 years therefore there should be a recall of these cars which Toyota should fix without charge. I spent more than $4000 to fix the problem in each car. I have 21 Prius v cabs at the moment most have already had the head gasket changed and thought I"m done with this problem and Toyota should take the blame for this right now. I spent $30k to buy this car and after 2 years for it to fail on me that's messed up. Even though it's a commercial vehicle that still shouldn't be the problem.
The head gasket in the engine failed at 120000 miles and when starting the car in the morning the whole car shook and shuddered. The same problem happened to my friends car a 2015 model at 70000 miles so I think this is a faulty gasket Toyota has used in all its Prius v model cars from 2013 to 2016 years therefore there should be a recall of these cars which Toyota should fix without charge. I spent $3985 to fix the problem.
