The head gasket is leaking. After speaking with several mechanics who work on this type of car and issue and they have all said that "3rd generation prius engines all have this leaking head gasket problem, no other generation hybrid engine from Toyota or Lexus does". why wasn't this recalled? I don't understand how Toyota and Lexus get away with a shoddy product that creates a $5-8K expense on their vehicles that is a design flaw and issue with this generation hybrid engine. My car is only worth about $10K, so paying to fix this seems like a bad choice. However, I have also been told that often when people do pay to fix it they have to come back as the engine block ends up needing full replacement, which is an additional $3K.
