Being serviced by Toyota is what makes the Prius unreliable. They have damaged my car every time it is at a dealership. Damage has been from over filling oil and inverter fluid, breaking plastic parts of the ventilation when recalled for the hybrid battery repair and breaking off/losing a plastic switch cover when in for the steering recall. Worst of all was ignoring my complaints about brake noise from one tire where the brake pad subsequently delaminated and abruptly immobilized the car.
