Because these are common failures of the Gen2.
1: Combo meter. Extremely common failure. $150 DIY fix.
2: Likely the blend door actuator. Cheap part but a real pain to replace. ~$50 DIY fix
3: Every Gen2 I've owned (7) has a leaky A/C system that needs occasional recharging (along with 100s I've serviced). One needed a replacement compressor. $20 hose and $10/can of SuperTech R-134a.
4: If you mean touch screen - another very common failure. $299 @ autobeyours.
Others include the inverter coolant pump ($150), coolant control valve ($125), hybrid battery ($1950 list) and ABS actuator (about $1200 online discount dealer - BIG DIY job).
