Ever since purchasing my 2011 Prius, it has always used a ton of oil. I recently had the head gasket replaced, new coils, plugs, and injectors, EGR cooler cleaned and timing gasket replaced all due to the amount of oil it was consuming. Well, that was less than 1k miles ago and today my motor blew, threw a rod right through the block of the motor.
These years are known for the lack of quality materials used in the rods apparently, they bend or warp easy. Who would have known.. I am just sad that Toyota knew all of these issues but refused to stand up and do anything to fix them. I really want to buy another Prius because they are great little cars but I am having a hard time getting behind a company that it unwilling to fix what they know is broken.
