Albany Auto Repair

Prius repair in Albany is a pretty short topic – Prius vehicles are well-known for being very reliable and for their longevity. Having said that, advanced age of some Prius vehicles can sometimes necessitate repairs. One of the possible repairs is inverter replacement – we wrote about this subject before. Another likely (and expensive) repair is high voltage battery replacement. Prius vehicles tend to outlive their batteries, so at some point high voltage battery replacement will become a necessity.

Prius vehicles have been with us forever, or so it seems. They are known for their reliability, and generally speaking, worry free operation. However, your Prius may need to have the inverter replaced at some point in time. In the past, Toyota issued a recall for inverter related problems, and hopefully your Prius has been to a dealership to have the work completed. Even so, there might have been thermal damage to the system that later results in inverter failure, or the inverter may fail simply because of age and use. So if at some point your Prius goes into neutral, and you notice hybrid system warning and power steering warning come “on”, there is a possibility that inverter replacement is in the cards.
