Took Prius in for coil replacement and was told the cooling fan was failing and there was a leak from the water pump. Coolant level was not to the low point at anytime and was checked and refilled if not full, the temp warning has not come on. I am now being told that a head gasket is blown and that I need a new engine. The car is not even at 200k and has had all routine maintence and recalls completed.

About 40% of the time, my Toyota Prius doesn't want to stop or slow down when the brakes are applied. Under these conditions, I have to apply the brakes hard and then the car will slow down. It feels like the car wants to "run away" when the brakes are applied. It exhibits this behavior in many circumstances: stopping at a stop light, slowing down on an expressway, or slowing down on a city street. Updated 11/23/09
the check engine light illuminated. The passenger front window switch wasn't opening or closing the window unless the master switch was used. The throttle body had to be cleaned. The fan belt and brake light switch were replaced. Updated 11/24/09 updated 01/06/10
