Each tile shows the median mileage at which that model year’s failures were reported. † marks a year whose median likely understates the mileage: much of its reporting came after 2020, when most complaints stopped recording an odometer reading. The 2016 reports latest and the 2017 earliest, but part of that gap is age: the 2016 has had 1 more year on the road to accumulate mileage. 4 of these years carry fewer than 30 reports with an odometer reading and show no median at all, rather than one computed from a handful.
The short answer
“Is the 2016–2022 Toyota Prius reliable?”
- Median of reported failures
- 15,000 mi
- 90% of reports came by
- 70,000 mi
- Reports with mileage
- 268
- Recalls
- 10
At least 40% of this generation’s complaints were filed after 2020, and most complaints filed since then carry no odometer reading, so the median likely understates the mileage these failures happen at.

Documented problems
- Wiring Harness (engine Compartment)2016–2018
- Parking Brake2016–2018
- Inverter / Hybrid Control2016–2018
Owners filed 455 complaints with NHTSA about the 2016–2022 Toyota Prius; visibility/wiper leads with 17.8% of them, and half of the 268 that record an odometer reading came by 15,000 miles. A count like this can’t rate reliability on its own: NHTSA records what owners chose to report, not how many of each car were sold.
46% of complaints that record mileage fall within the first 12,000 miles, against 1.4 reports per 1,000 miles between 20,000 and 80,000. Failures clustered that early usually indicate a design or manufacturing problem rather than wear.

How many miles does a 2016–2022 Toyota Prius last?
Complaint records can’t measure how long a car lasts; they show when reported failures happened. On the 2016–2022 Toyota Prius, half of the 268 complaints that record an odometer reading were filed by 15,000 miles and 90% by 70,000 miles.
8 reports came in past 150,000 miles and 3 past 200,000 — each one proof that a Prius reached that mileage, not that it failed there.

System by system, in words
Complaints about this generation are not spread evenly across the vehicle, and the systems that generate the most of them do not all fail at the same point in a car's life. The median failure across all systems here is 15,000 miles; the figures below show which parts of the car run ahead of that and which run behind.
Visibility/wiper accounts for 17.8% of complaints (81 reports, 66 of them with a mileage figure), with a median of 13,000 miles, close to the vehicle's overall pattern. The middle half of these reports falls between 7,000 and 23,000 miles.
Problems owners could not categorise accounts for 16.7% of complaints (76 reports, 35 of them with a mileage figure), and it fails early — a median of 5,000 miles, well before the vehicle's overall median. Failures clustered this far below the rest of the car usually point to a design or manufacturing problem rather than wear, because wear does not selectively target one system on low-mileage examples. The middle half of these reports falls between 1,000 and 18,000 miles.
The electrical system accounts for 13.8% of complaints (63 reports, 31 of them with a mileage figure), with a median of 17,000 miles, close to the vehicle's overall pattern. The middle half of these reports falls between 2,000 and 55,000 miles.
The brakes account for 13.8% of complaints (63 reports, 39 of them with a mileage figure), with a median of 10,000 miles, close to the vehicle's overall pattern. The middle half of these reports falls between 2,000 and 20,000 miles.
The engine accounts for 10.5% of complaints (48 reports, 19 of them with a mileage figure), with a median of 15,000 miles, close to the vehicle's overall pattern. The middle half of these reports falls between 61 and 71,000 miles.
Throttle and speed control accounts for 9.9% of complaints (45 reports, 33 of them with a mileage figure), with a median of 14,000 miles, close to the vehicle's overall pattern. The middle half of these reports falls between 6,000 and 28,000 miles.
Known problems with the 2016–2022 Prius
Wiring Harness (engine Compartment) 2016–2018
Engine-compartment wire harness connected to the hybrid power control unit can chafe against the housing, wear through insulation and short, producing smoke or fire; large Toyota recall covering the early years of the generation.
Parking Brake 2016–2018
Parking brake cable can fail to engage properly, allowing the vehicle to roll away when parked without the transmission in Park; NHTSA recall.
Inverter / Hybrid Control 2016–2018
Inverter and hybrid system control software fault could cause the hybrid system to shut down and the vehicle to lose power while driving; recall issued.
Before you buy a 2016–2022 Prius: the 3-minute check
Generated from 268 mileage-tagged complaints, 10 recall campaigns, 3 documented problem areas. Print this page — the checklist survives print.
- Run the VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls. 10 campaigns cover this generation; an open recall is a free repair you can make the seller's problem.
- Ask for problems owners could not categorise repair records. Reports on this area come at a median of 5,000 miles — a newer example may not have reached that mileage yet, so ask what was repaired under warranty and what the warranty still covers.
- Ask for brakes repair records. Reports on this area come at a median of 10,000 miles — a newer example may not have reached that mileage yet, so ask what was repaired under warranty and what the warranty still covers.
- Check wiring harness (engine compartment) on 2016–2018 cars. Engine-compartment wire harness connected to the hybrid power control unit can chafe against the housing, wear through insulation and short, producing smoke or fire; large Toyota recall covering the early years of the…
- Check parking brake on 2016–2018 cars. Parking brake cable can fail to engage properly, allowing the vehicle to roll away when parked without the transmission in Park; NHTSA recall.
- Check inverter / hybrid control on 2016–2018 cars. Inverter and hybrid system control software fault could cause the hybrid system to shut down and the vehicle to lose power while driving; recall issued.
- Complaint reports are not spread evenly across model years here — see the by-model-year table below before you settle on a year.
- End with a pre-purchase inspection of this car. Aggregate data describes the population; the example in front of you has its own history.
For a buyer of a newer example: 46% of the reported failures occur in the first 12,000 miles, and many of these cars have not covered that yet. The early window may still be ahead, so check what the factory warranty still covers and whether any recall on the VIN is open.
On inspection, visibility/wiper and problems owners could not categorise are where this generation's reports concentrate, so those are the areas worth a specific look. Problems owners could not categorise in particular shows a median failure mileage of 5,000, which gives a concrete number to compare against the odometer of any car you are considering.
None of this is a substitute for a pre-purchase inspection on the individual car. Aggregate patterns describe a population; the example in front of you has its own history.

2016–2022 Toyota Prius recalls (10)
NHTSA records 10 recall campaigns covering vehicles in this generation. A recall means the manufacturer or the regulator concluded there was a safety defect or a standard was not met, and that a free remedy is owed to owners — including second and later owners.
The campaigns cluster around the electrical system (2), the airbag system (2), the engine and its cooling system (1). Several campaigns against one area can mean a remedy that did not hold, or separate defects in parts filed under the same heading; the summaries below name each defect.
Recall status is specific to the individual vehicle, not the model. Checking a VIN against NHTSA's lookup is free and takes under a minute, and it is the only way to know whether a particular car has had the work done.

Crashes, fires and injuries owners reported
What owners reported alongside the failure itself, out of 455 complaints against this generation:
- Crashes
- 64 (14.1%)
- Fires
- 2
- Injury reports
- 26
- Fatality reports
- 0
These flags are self-reported by complainants and unverified by NHTSA; one report can carry several flags, so the counts overlap and do not sum to a total. They are not adjusted for how many of these vehicles are on the road. No chart is drawn here on purpose: overlapping counts spanning very different magnitudes cannot be honestly encoded as lengths.
Prius problems by model year
The 2016 drew the most complaints of this generation, 154, most of them about visibility/wiper, and the 2020 the fewest among the 6 years with at least 20 complaints, 30. A typical year drew about 45.
That makes the 2016 stand out at roughly 3.4 times a typical year. A count like this follows how many cars of each year were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as how often they failed, so it is not by itself evidence of a worse year; what each year's reports name, in its card and row, is the useful part.
