That sucks, it's rare for the battery pack to fail that early. We have dozens of Prius' at work going back to 2002 and I can only recall one battery pack failure.

If you were in California the warranty is 10 years 150k.

People are repairing their own batteries by replacing only the bad cell, lots of videos about this on YouTube.

Be careful if you decide to try it, they have something like 300 volts inside.
