The car simply won't start. I have changed the key fob batteries (2). The dealer has replaced the key fob batteries. They check the vehicle, tell me nothing is wrong. I go home and a few days later it dies again.

I have received several different excuses, they call them explanations, but different people give me different answers. They said I wasn't driving the car enough, whatever that means. I drove it more, it still dies.

They said I wasn't closing the doors properly and this was killing the battery. I pointed out I always remote lock the door and that wouldn't work if a door was open.

They seem determined to make the issue my fault, when all I want is a car that starts when I get in and I feel it won't die on me out on the road. I have a lemon or Toyota screwed up and won't admit it. Oh, and by the way it was running well until they did a recall. Since then it has not worked properly.

Parked the car in the garage and left town for a week. Came home and wouldn't start, just warning lights. Had it towed to the dealer and they said it needed an inverter. They fixed it but it took 7 weeks. It took that long to get the part. They gave us a loaner Prius at no charge to us. The loaner cost them $1800. They said this was an unusual failure but there were two other Prius in with the same problem at that time.

I'm wondering if it took that long to get the part because A) The part is different for the current Prius B) They realized they had a problem and designed an improved part and C) It took that long to turn out a batch of improved inverters. Just a guess.
