I have just purchased a new base model gen 3 Prius.
The am radio reception starts out clear but after a few K the reception gets fuzzy and progressively gets worse.
The dealer says there is nothing wrong - everything checks out.
The dealer's initial reaction was that I should contact Toyota Customer Care. Needless to say they are going to do it.
SOURCE: Toyota Prius starting problem
There's a known problem with the early Toyota Prius (2001 - 2003), when running the engine for a long period of time without moving or when the car is driven only for short trips (short city driving), the Prius might not start.
You have to change the original battery with a 356 CCA which is bigger because the battery is bigger you also have to change what is holding it into place.
