Prius
2004- 2007 Prius' have an issue with the inverter pump, unbeknown to me until yesterday. The inverter has it's own cooling loop, when the pump fails, as you would expect, things get hot. I think the inverter melted, it emanates electrical failure.
There is a recall on the pump, and it's going to the dealer on Monday. Dead at 156K. Just a heads up for any of you that bought one of these turds.

Something failed at 156K miles, shocking. There has been a TSB for this since 2007 IIRC.

I think they were failing at the factory. Seriously, I had no idea on the recall. It's not my car, however I drive it daily, and I'll continue to treat it like I do my own Toyota. If it doesn't respond accordingly, it's a POS.
Edit: I had a combination meter issue one day, the dealer wouldn't sell the part even if they had one. I had no instrument cluster, filled it up with gas and paced traffic. It started behaving once the ambient temp rose above freezing. I'm trying to correlate those two and what has transpired recently.
