My current work car is a corolla with a CVT, it's got great mileage and they don't seem to die. Hundreds of thousands of KMs. It's been the type of car the workplace buys, none have caused problems. Even one that was stolen the transmission is fine.
Toyota 2UZ is in the same spot, and the original starter in those can last well past 250k miles when they're not being roasted by the exhaust and drenched in water regularly.
immediately replaced rotors/pads and replaced yellowed headlights. All the parts were dirt cheap on Rock Auto.
Toyota's wiper blades are extremely good quality especially for the money, about $24 each online.
Starter at ~180k miles and steering rack at ~300k, never left me stranded.
I've been daily driving, road-tripping, and wheeling my 100 from 190k miles to its current 283k. Never once has it left me stranded. In that time I've replaced the alternator
the oem toyota belts can do 200k miles no problem. Even if the truck is almost 20 years old.
My Tundra was awesome, but guzzled fuel and I drive like an old grandpa. 13-14 mpg is expected. Also, Tundras are fairly expensive to maintain compared to Ford. My water pump went out and it was about $1k to get fixed.
This happened to my Gen2. I gave it to some guy to change pads and these lights came out after. I think he didn't do it properly and air entered into the line. I then took it to a local Toyota dealership where they fixed it. (I don't recall what they did exactly, maybe flush and replaced the break fluid). I was fearing it was the actuator, which as other have posted, is very expensive on this Prius. I had to drive very slow and careful, because I had no power in the brakes, so they were hard and slow. No ABS. No regen either.
Not sure what brand of alternator you got but basically all of the reman auto parts stores alternators and starters are total junk. You'd be better off buying a used OEM Toyota one over an auto parts store unit.
