In the Toyota Prius Hybrid, there is none.

Anytime someone attributes the "climate" of trinidad to causing issues with their cars i can't help but cringe. Even if you don't know, a simple google search would tell you that Japan's summer temperatures are similar to ours. But just incase ....
"The hottest summer weather is to be found around Tokyo and in some other parts of Honshu, Japan's main island, where the temperature can reach almost 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit). In August 2013, a high of 41.0 degrees Celsius was recorded in Ekawasaki, Kochi Prefecture"

You can't compare japan's similar temperatures to ours ... We have high humidity which makes air cooling way less efficient vs Japan's dryer summer climate. Also their temperatures aren't hot all year round while ours is. The next factor is traffic which we have a hell of a alot of, traffic is the most stressful thing on your transmission and engine. Couple all those factors and your car has to deal with way more stress than one in Japan. So if your car has a weak spot or a design flaw then should become more apparent in T&T. Just like VW jetta's here which had an alarming rate of mechatronic failures for the tranny vs cooler climates.
Lastly that 40 degree Celsius is not a normal occurrence.

this. that someone would drive a vehicle from a foreign country without changing ALL fluids (if it wasnt done by the dealer before leaving said country) is just...... idoitic at best.

Sounds more electrical than mechanical

3/4 of Mechanics in this country eh know they ass from they big toe. When my civic had a problem regarding the sun, if you park it up in the sun and send up the glass the car would not start until nightfall. When I explained this to the average mechanic they would give me this retarded dotish look the kind that the mongoose does give you in the headlights before you run them over.
