2010 Toyota Prius 4-DR.w/SAB

Brake Booster Failure; has been inspected and confirmed. Warning lamps for traction control, ABS, Brake System Lights, Master Warning Light all came on during normal city driving. Immediate loss of Brake Assist causing sudden need for much more distance while stopping the vehicle. Clearly, sudden changes in brake behavior is a safety concern and this problem seems to be well documented as common issue in this era of Toyota vehicles. I believe Toyota has fallen short in its efforts to remmedy the situation. An extended warranty was issued but it was for a brief period of time that required this problem to occur within a narrow window. It's a wildly expensive repair to a critical system and it seems to be a common problem in these cars.

The airbag light on my 2010 Prius intermittently goes on and off. I have brought it to Toyota as well as my mechanic to see if anyone can find the problem. I've been told I need to change the seat and or the weight sensor isn't working. When I looked at the numerous PRius websites this is unbelievably common!

We have a 2010 Prius Purchased March 2010. Toyota issued a "Customer Support Program" (free extended warranty) for the brake booster and brakebooster pump assemblies in 2019. The Primary Coverage was offered until 11-30-19 regardless of milage. After that the secondary coverage applied for 10 years or up to 150,000 miles. The information mailed to us states; "If you have not experienced the condition described above, there is no action necessary at this time." We did not experience any brake problems until 11-10-21, when the dash display lit up with the BRAKE LITE, ABS LITE, SLIP INDICATOR LITE, AND THE ! LITE, ALL CAME ON AT THE SAME TIME. ALSO THE BRAKE PEDDLE BECAME SPONGY AND AT TIMES VERY HARD TO DEPRESS. We had our Toyota dealer run a diagnostic scan of the vehicle and they determined the brake booster and brakebooster pump were defected. The car has 70,000 miles on it at this time, and we have owned the car for 10 years and 8 months. Toyota will not honor this Customer Support Program since we are 8 months beyond the expiration date. There was a RECALL number 13V235000 issued 06-05-13 for the same exact problem, with NO EXPIRATION DATE. However, Toyota says it does not apply to our car. This problem causes the power brakes to not work as power, only manual brakes (Hard to Push). They also become very soft and not responsive if the engine has not run since the last time the brakes were pushed. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SAFETY ISSUE! ! ! My question is, the problem was a big enough to have Toyota issue this 10 year "Customer Support Program" to prevent a hazardous situation from being on the road for 10 years, why is it not hazardous NOW 8 months later? We welcome any help you can provide.

I have a 2010 Toyota Prius. The ABS pump unit broke down while driving on the road. Suddenly the breaks were not functioning correctly. Breaks got squeeze. Apparently it's a common issue and Toyota had a program around it to fix it till Jan 2021. But I couldn't go fix it before coz the lights didn't show up. Now in Oct 2021 it's broken and is not covered. I don't know how a company gets to call such a safety issue as option and not a recall and get away with it. The vehicle has already been identified as having a bad part. How come the company does own up to it considering it's an important part of the breaking system.

while driving traction, abs and brake light came on. braking feels forced by driver.

The contact owns 2010 Toyota Prius. The contact stated while driving 72 MPH, she noticed several unknown warning lights illuminated on the vehicle and a beeping sound coming from the vehicle. The contact noticed that whenever the beeping sound was present, it was very difficult to depress the brake pedal to slow the vehicle. The contact had to depress on the brake pedal all the way to the floor for the vehicle to slow down and for the contact to pull over to the side of the road. The contact waited for a minute before restarting the vehicle and continued to drive a short distance before the failure recurred. The contact was able to restart and slowly drive the vehicle back to the residence. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the ABS pump needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 140,000.

Last week I check hybrid system message appeared on the screen and orange triangle with check engine light. I took it to the shop and they said that there are code P0A94 wich is related to the inverted and that is needed replacement. I saw that there was recall on inverter and want to see if I can get it replaced. Thanks

The brakes, ABS, and traction light came on car but it does not stay on. Took it to the dealership and the advisor said it would be $2,500. If this gas been a recall in the past then it should still be a recall. I am extremely disappointed in Toyota as a whole to bail out on something that is as crucial as the safety of brake failure.

Low pitched rumbling sound from front wheel well when car is moving between 5-25 mph.

The digital speedometer display has stopped working. I can no longer see my speed or fuel gauge. I was quoted nearly $3,000 at the dealer to repair the vehicle.

The Brake Booster assembly for nearly all 2010 Toyota Prius has innate failure over time. It is a faulty, known-issue part. Toyota offered some limited-time warranty extension fixes instead of a full recall. My Toyota dealership informed my that my part needs the fix, as would be expected, but that I am not within the limited warranty. As this is a safety issue and the part has given out, I am stuck. I contacted Toyota directly and via email as well and they refused to do anything while acknowledging the part was their fault. They were very snooty about the fact that a full recall had not happened yet, and gleeful to deny me service.

The contact owns a 2010 Toyota Prius. The contact stated that while driving, the brake lights, ABS, and check engine warning lights illuminated. There was an abnormal noise detected. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer and diagnosed that the brake booster assembly needed to be replaced. Additionally, the contact was informed that the vehicle was not safe to drive. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to NHTSA. The failure mileage was approximately 115,000. The VIN was not available.

I have recently bought a 2010 Prius. The ABS (!) , traction control, and emergency brake light all illuminated three days after I transferred title with the dmv. This apparently is a very common problem with this car. I am told that these lights lead to a very expensive repair. My primary concern is my safety and of course the safety of others. A car that has brakes that suddenly fail is lethal. I was advised by a helpful agent that these repairs would come out of my pocket. My complaint is that Toyota should be responsible for this. I cannot drive this vehicle at the moment because I refuse to endanger anyone.

The dash lights on my 2010 Prius went all dark, lost all information on my dash. No lights on dash, no fuel gauge, no speedometer, nothing. This is very dangerous to suddenly have happened and I don't see a recall from Toyota to address this problem.

Hazards lights came on and would not go off, with increased speed hazards flashed faster. Toyota stated that ABS actuator and relay needed to be replaced.

1. This 2010 Prius has a faulty design of the piston rings, which is allowing it to burn more than 1.4 Qts of engine oil. 2. Such high consumption of engine oil causing an environmental pollution. 3. Furthermore, I took it to the local Toyota Dealer I.e. Maguire Toyota located in Ithaca, NY, they never chose to diagnose it or repair it. 4. I reached out to the Toyota and the Toyota still isn’t helpful w.r.t this high consumption of engine oil.

Parked with car running. Car started beeping (beep beep beep) incessantly. Turned off. When I turned 2010 Prius back on, the beeping came back. Brakes DID NOT WORK. Dash error said "CHECK PCS SYSTEM" and many warning lights were on. Pressing brakes didn't stop vehicle.

As many other 2010 Prius drivers have experienced, my brake actuator has failed. This has resulted in loss of braking and potential harm.

Seek exteral brake fluid no external leaks found ABS pump noise probable abs pump flalure leak

code C1391 master cylinder internal leak

ABS pump failed, all the lights came on the dash for brake, and brakes stop working properly it still drives but unsafe to do so, Toyota says it’s common problem and they want $3000 to replace it

ABS brake booster slow leak. There are many reporting the same problem on YouTube as a $3000 repair.

Brake assist has failed. Appears to be master cylinder assembly and/or pump? Brake related error lights and safety systems disabled. Very difficult to drive vehicle without power brakes. Car only has 106k miles on it, and too old for enhanced warranty coverage (acknowledged problem). This is not some 20 year old car with 300k miles on it.

First problem the light on my dashboard appeared. My braking is starting to not work properly. When i press the pedal it feels soft, and the brakes are not bitting well. Next thing my abs is not working, that i skid multiple times, and that cause me a few times to almost get into an accident. I had few fender bender issues, but no major damage collision. I end up paying for the repairs of my car, and have the receipt to prove it. Also before having all these issues, with the regenerative braking itself, if i happen to hit a pothole, even thou i’m pressing the brake pedals. It causes the car to accelerate. This only happens during traffic stops that i’m already pressing the brakes, but for some reason if i hit a pothole, like i mentioned above. That car accelerates, and thus cause me to almost hit the car in front of me. I was aware of this issue, so to compensate, i pressed the brake pedals harder whenever this incidents happen.

My 2010 Prius is experiencing brake booster failure. Brake assist appears to be lost. Feels unsafe to drive since braking distance feels longer. Unsure if stability control is working. Hybrid battery not recharging from braking. Warning lamps include: 1) Brake System Warning Light (red indicator); 2) Brake System Warning Light (yellow indicator); 3) ABS Warning Light; and 4) Electronic Stability Control Active Warning Light. OBD-II trouble code: C1391 (abnormal leak in accumulator). Spoke with representative Tracy at Toyota Customer Experience Center (888-270-9371) on 7/30/2021 (Case #210730000924) and Randall at Toyota Customer Experience Center on 8/3/2021 about repair through Toyota. Both representatives acknowledged that Toyota was aware of the brake booster failure from owners. Randall acknowledged that many owners have complained to Toyota about brake booster failure and that is it commonly reported to Toyota, hence Toyota issued a Toyota Customer Support Program Notification ZJB. However, I am told that coverage for my Prius under Notification ZJB has expired, that there is not a recall for the defective parts, and that Toyota will not assist with fixing this problem for my car. I believe this problem is a safety issue and that Toyota needs to issue a recall as soon as possible to remedy this known defect.

MULTIPLE WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON SUDDENLY WHEN I WAS DRIVING THE PRIUS LAST MONTH; 'ABS', 'BRAKE', AND 'TRACTION CONTROL' WARNING LIGHTS ALL CAME ON SIMULTANEOUSLY. THE BRAKING FUNCTION WAS NOT NORMAL. HAD TO DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL A LOT MORE FOR THE BRAKE TO BE APPLIED. ALSO BATTERY IS NO LONGER RECHARGING ON APPLYING BRAKES. TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER (FRED ANDERSON, RALEIGH, NC). THE ESTIMATE FOR REPAIR IS $4045. THE CAR IS 2010 MODEL (11 YRS) AND HAS 106000 MILES. THIS IS KNOWN PROBLEM AND IN MY OPINION AND DESIGN FLAW AND TOYOTA NEEDS TO FIX THIS. PLEASE HELP.

All my lights are on traction, brake, ABS!

Brake light, ABS light, and traction control light all illuminated on dashboard. Took the vehicle to Toyota dealership and they determined I needed to replace the brake booster/accumulator and pump assembly, cost was $3,000.00. Looking into this issue further it is an extremely common issue and should be a recall item.

The contact owns a 2010 Toyota Prius. The contact stated that the vehicle was consuming an excessive amount of engine oil. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer however, the vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and informed of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 220,000.

After buying the car from Liquidation Station (used car dealer) the day after we bought the (2010 Prius Hybrid) the breaks went completely out. My daughter and grandchild were in the car and she almost crashed in to on coming traffic putting them in extreme danger of being killed. We had the car towed to Caldwell Toyota in Conway AR. and they said the break booster had failed and that they would not cover the cost of the repairs even though there are several complaints of break failure and several recalls for this car.

While driving on a highway at night around 60 mph, brake light turned on then AB light then slip light. Nothing else happened but since this hadn’t happened before, I pulled over, turned off car, waited a bit then turned back on. Car still worked although these lights stayed on. Continued driving to get home at reduced speed (around 45-50) plus with blinkers on with mental note to take to the dealer next morning. A few miles out, a loud unchanging alarm went off and I couldn’t use my brakes no matter how hard I pressed on them. I was able to glide off an exit that was near and making right turns get into a lot. Also neither of the brake pad nor the parking button was working so I couldn’t stop the car but then I hit power to shut down and that was able to stop it. Called for towing to dealer the following day. They say it’s the brake booster and that I have to pay out of pocket since it passed a recall but this is a dangerous issue with the car. If the light had been red and a car crossing, without brakes I would have gotten into an accident and since I bought it used last year, I wouldn’t have even known about this being an issue. There shouldn’t be a date limit on this recall, if models of Toyota Prius needs the recall and it hadn’t been done by previous owner, it needs to be done as this is a really traumatizing and potentially deadly issue.

I was driving when the car started to beep constantly. I tried to turn on a road to check it out and realized I had no brakes. I passed the road I was trying to turn on and had to coast to a stop down the road. If this had happened while coming to a red light, there is no way I would have been able to avoid a wreck. I did some research and found that they extended the warranty on the brake booster and assembly pump. The thing is I had taken the car in because the abs, brakes, and traction control lights came on last year. They acted like they had no clue what was wrong and just unplugged the battery and hooked it back up to make sure the lights went off. The lights were off for less than a mile and when I called back they acted clueless and said for $200 out of pocket they can do more extensive testing but said they saw nothing wrong and that the car was driving normally. How does Toyota have a major problem that they extend the warranty and the Toyota dealership knows nothing about it and can’t give me answers when I have the exact issues the extended warranty is supposed to cover? I could have been seriously injured and hurt someone else and Toyota doesn’t care. Their representative told me that they had done enough and it was on me to fix the problem as now I was no longer covered under their extended warranty. This is a major safety issue and needs to be a recall before someone gets seriously hurt. Toyota knows there is a problem but refuses to hurt their bottom line to protect the consumers. This just happened yesterday and I have not done anything to the car at this time.

The headlights on my car would get very dim and would burnout within 4 to 6 months. As time has past the time between bulb replacement would get shorter and shorter. At this point when I plug replacement bulbs into my car the burnout instantly. Without low beam headlights I am required to drive with my high beams on at all times. The dealer and the manufacture know about the problem and there was a notification regarding this issue with the headlights, but I was not sent this notice. Had I been sent the notice from Toyota I would have brought my car into the dealership for them to inspect the light problem. From what I have learned from Toyota is that there was never a recall on this issue. Headlights on a car I would think would be considered a major safety feature and should not have an expiration date on such a repair issue. The program to fix the issue was called Customer Support Program ZHB which allowed the dealers to correct the problem. How would anyone know that there was a problem unless they get a notification.

Actuator and brake cylinder have gone. ABS, traction, and brake lights all have gone on. This is a very common issue with this car, and I am expected to pay $3,000 for this fix.

Check hybrid system light ignites, slows down vehicle in middle of high speed highway. First incident November of 2020 then several incidents after. Repair shops don't assure problem according to error codes & they recommend possibilities they cannot assure will resolve the problem. Car was taken into local dealership after receiving recall notice for software and airbags prior to November 2020 when the issue began. Software update took a couple of hours. Restart/reboot temporarily allowed driving again. Most recently the system entirely shut down & the car will not start or run. Abandoned car on side of the road and got heat exhaustion from walking the rest of the way home and had vehicle towed. Error lights come on including "check hybrid system" says "shift to P position when starting" and will not allow start.

The brakes failed while driving. The traction, ABS and brake light all came on, on the dashboard and the brakes were working at 10% or less. I had to use the engine braking mode to stop the car. I took it to a technician and this is a known issue that Toyota is ignoring.

ABS light and brake light comes on and goes away on my toyota prius 2010

While driving on an uncrowded 2 lane rural highway at approx. 4pm on June 20th, 2021, I heard what sounded like a gunshot in my ear. I quickly looked around at my interior & saw no broken windows. I had no driving issues, but pulled over safely to inspect the exterior of my vehicle. As soon as I opened my driver's door & exited, I turned to close the door & saw that my sunroof had basically exploded. It was jagged & missing pieces around 3 of 4 edges. I was an hour from home & wanted to make sure I arrived safely. En route I heard chunks falling off & by the time I got home the middle portion had rippled & gaping holes were visible.

I have a 2010 Toyota Prius. I was driving home on I-80 and when I was getting down on the slope of the Sacramento river bridge, three lights suddenly popped on the dashboard - ABS light, Brake light and Traction control light. Following this, I lost efficient control on the brakes and I had to push really hard on the brake pad to even slow the car down. If I had to stop suddenly, it would have definitely resulted in a serious crash. Because the brakes stopped working as they are supposed to, I turned on the blinkers, took the exit and tried to stop slowly. I was able to stop on the side of the road just before the red signal. I was just couple of miles from my home so I kept the blinkers on, and slowly drove through internal roads to my home. Later when I found out the code, it came as C1391 which is usually for failure of the brake booster assembly or the brake booster pump assembly or both. When I contacted my local Toyota dealership, they mentioned that the extended warranty for replacing these parts ended in November 2020 and because of that they asked me to take care of this >$3000 repair. I also contacted Toyota corporate to file a complaint and was told the same thing. This issue is a serious safety concern and Toyota should issue a recall and not an extended warranty. They should not be waiting for people to loose their lives before they issue a recall.

The contact owns a 2010 Toyota Prius. The contact stated that while driving approximately 30 mph, the automatic braking system failed and the brakes were making a strange sound and not responding as soon as the brake pedal was depressed. The ABS, brake, and stability control warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and diagnosed with hydraulic brake booster pump failure. The vehicle was not repaired and remained at the dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but informed the contact that the vehicle was over the extended warranty coverage. The failure mileage was 118,000.

While driving in the highway had several times hard situations. Yesterday and truck became in front in my lane while, I had brake fast the car started loosing control and ended up on the side of the road. Is like the brakes makes the car loose all the control in a bad situation instead of help to prevent accidents. Each time I go to Toyota I had mentioned this issue, but they say there's not recalls available. Sometimes I think I will die because of this.

Code 1391. just like many others Toyotas of this year

My problem began when I pressed my brakes and instead it accelerated. I thought maybe my foot slipped and didn’t know what it meant. It happened again a few weeks later and then all of the dash lights went on that indicated that I had to have the big brake recall repair. Being that my car is past the 10 year warranty and past the extension for mileage, I had to pay out of pocket. This repair was done and upon receiving my car back, the gas mileage instantly began to drop. It went from averaging 42-48MPG in my town to 25-30MPG. I took it in the be looked at and they ensured me nothing was wrong with the car AT ALL. The battery wasn’t holding charge on top of this and it wasn’t reading the same on the dash about the 0-100 current gas mileage you’re getting as you go (the lines scale thing) that goes up when you let off the gas, and I could feel a strange shift while I was driving so I took it in again. They told me this time it’d be $110 to diagnose even though it was the same issue that started after the brake system repair, so I left extremely upset. A few days later my cars steering went out while I was driving and the whole hybrid system died. The car now only works in power mode. The consumer stated the car was taken in for a brake recall and had to pay $2800 in repairs. The consumer stated what they thought was a battery failure turned out to be the beginning of an electrical motor failure related to overheating.

The contact owns a 2010 Toyota Prius. The contact stated while driving 65 mph, the vehicle lost motive power. The contact stated the check hybrid system warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was not drivable. The vehicle was towed to her residence. The vehicle was pushed to an independent mechanic nearby her residence however, the mechanic was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. A dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 282,000.

The contact owns a 2010 Toyota Prius. The contact stated that while attempting to start the vehicle, the vehicle failed to start up. The contact stated that the hybrid system warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was towed to an unknown dealer where it was diagnosed with the inverter needing to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 18V684000 (Hybrid propulsion system) for which the VIN was included. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 133,000.

The contact owns a 2010 Toyota Prius. The contact stated while driving approximately 30 mph, while coming to a stop on wet pavement, the vehicle failed to stop and crashed into the vehicle ahead of him. The air bags failed to deploy. A police report was filed. There were no injuries sustained. The contact stated that whenever the roads were wet, excessive force on the brake pedal was needed to stop the vehicle. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer and was not diagnosed. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 208,000.

While driving at highway speed on Interstate 87 in New York, the 2010 Toyota Prius suddenly lost power while multiple warning lights on the dashboard illuminated, along with a "Check Hybrid System" notification. The engine would operate but at significantly reduced power. I drove it to an independent garage to identify the diagnostic trouble codes, which included P0A94 and P324E, an inverter problem with the hybrid battery and a problem with the intelligent power module. The currently is currently awaiting a confirm diagnosis at a Toyota dealership in New Jersey, but the problem is exactly what thousands of other 2010 - 2014 Prius owners have reported, yet Toyota has yet to issue a recall to replace the inverter.

Impending failure of the brake booster / brake booster pump assembly. ABS and brake warning lights remain on and a constant electrical whining sound can be heard from the brake booster assembly. Toyota is aware of the problem and offered a customer support program that expired in 2019 ( https://attachments.priuschat.com/attachment-files/2019/12/178663_162714_ZJB_Phase_2_.pdf )

THE TRACTION , ABS AND BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON AFTER DRIVING OVER A SMALL POTHOLE

REGENERATIVE BRAKES STOPPED WORKING WHILE DRIVING IN CLEAR CONDITIONS ON THE HIGHWAY AT 60MPH, ABS, TRACTION CONTROL, AND BRAKES LIGHTS ON DASH ILLUMINATED. ALMOST CRASHED AS BRAKE PEDAL NEEDED TO BE PRESSED REALLY HARD AND ALMOST TO THE FLOOR TO STOP THE CAR. KNOWN ISSUE AND DEALER REFUSES TO FIX THE PROBLEM

I WAS DRIVING AND THREE LIGHTS CAME OUT: ABS, BRAKE AND SLIP INDICATOR.

I WAS JUST TOLD THAT MY 2010 PRIUS NEEDS THE BRAKE BOOST ASSEMBLY (CYLINDER AND BOOST) AT A COST OF $2,570. IT WAS CAUSING MY 4 MONTH OLD, 12V BATTERY TO DRAIN. I THOUGHT THAT WAS OUTRAGEOUS SO I LOOKED INTO IT AND FOUND OUT THERE WAS AN "ENHANCED EXTENDED" WARRANTY ISSUED (NOT A RECALL) , BUT FOR MY VEHICLE IT EXPIRED APRIL 2020. ANOTHER ISSUE THAT I UNCOVERED THAT THIS PART ALSO CAUSES THE PRIUS TO LURCH FORWARD WHEN BRAKING AND YOU HAPPEN TO DRIVE OVER A BUMP. TRAIN TRACKS, OR POTHOLES WHICH IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED THIS WITH MY PRIUS. FORTUNATELY, I HAVE HAD NO ACCIDENTS SO FAR. I HAVE READ THAT THERE HAVE BEEN ACCIDENTS CAUSED BY THIS ISSUE. TOYOTA SHOULD STEP UP AND FIX THE PROBLEM BEFORE PEOPLE ARE INJURED DUE TO THIS DEFECTIVE BRAKING SYSTEM. MY DAUGHTER DRIVES A 2015 PRIUS. IS ANYTHING MORE BEING DONE? OR ARE THEY GOING TO WAIT UNTIL MORE ACCIDENTS HAPPEN? I STUMBLED ACROSS THIS ISSUE WHEN MY 2010 TOYOTA PRIUS 12V BATTERY REQUIRED FREQUENT JUMP STARTS. I REPLACED THE BATTERY ($300) DEC 2020. PRIOR TO THAT, I CALLED AAA AND GOT A JUMP START. BECAUSE OF COVID, I WASN'T DRIVING THE VEHICLE DAILY (WORK FROM HOME) SO IT WAS ASSUMED THE CAUSE WAS THE VEHICLE SHOULD BE DRIVEN FREQUENTLY.

I BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW IN 2010. TOYOTA PRIUS HYBRID. TWO WEEKS AGO THE ABS LIGHT, EMERGENCY BRAKE LIGHT, AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS ALL CAME ON AND WON'T GO OFF. DEALERSHIP SAYS I NEED $2000 WORTH OF WORK. BRAKE BOOSTER/MASTER CYLINDER, BRAKE BOOSTER PUMP ASSEMBLY, BRAKE ACTUATOR INTERNAL LEAK. BRAKES ACTING WEIRD. DEALERSHIP SAYS I DON'T NEED TO DRIVE CAR, JUST PAY $2000 WHICH I DON'T HAVE. THEY SAID TOYOTA EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TO DECEMBER 2020, WHICH JUST PAST. I NEVER GOT LETTER SAYING IT WAS A PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA PRIUS. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN HER DRIVEWAY, THE VEHICLE INDEPENDENTLY ROLLED BACKWARDS OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY. AS A RESULT, THE REAR END OF THE VEHICLE RAN INTO A TREE. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED.THERE WERE NO INJURIES SUSTAINED. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO DRIVE AND WAS TAKEN TO A COLLISION CENTER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED AS OF YET. A DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN INFORMED OF FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 173,991. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.*DT

I WAS DRIVING AND PRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL TO MAKE A TURN. AFTER COMPLETING THE TURN I NOTICED SEVERAL WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH BOARD INCLUDING BRAKE, ABS, AND TRACTION CONTROL. THE BRAKES WERE VERY MUSHY BUT WORKED ENOUGH TO GET THE VEHICLE TO A SHOP. THE SHOP ASSESSED THE VEHICLE WHICH DISPLAYED CODE C1391 AND SAID IT WAS BRAKE RELATED POSSIBLY ABS SYSTEM. THEY CLEARED THE CODE IN MY VEHICLE AND BRAKES WORKED NORMAL FOR A VERY SHORT TIME BEFORE THE SAME WARNING LIGHTS APPEARED AND BRAKES WENT MUSHY AND NOT WORKING PROPERLY. I THEN LOOKED UP POSSIBLE RECALLS OR ENHANCED WARRANTIES AND I CALLED TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE AND WAS TOLD THERE IS NO RECALL OR EXTENDED/ENHANCED WARRANTY FOR ANY BRAKING ISSUE ON MY VEHICLE BASED ON THE VIN NUMBER. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MY LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER AND THEY CHARGED ME TO TEST FOR A CODE. THEY CAME UP WITH CODE C1391 AND STATE IN THEIR PAPERWORK THAT THE CAUSE IS "BRAKE BOOSTER INTERNAL FAILURE" AND RECOMMEND REPLACING THE BRAKE BOOSTER. THEIR PAPERWORK SHOWS REPLACEMENT OF A BRAKE PUMP AND BRAKE BOOSTER HAD AN EXTENDED WARRANTY BUT THAT IT EXPIRED 9/26/2020. THEREFORE THE DEALER WOULD NOT FIX MY CAR AT THE COST OF TOYOTA. MY VEHICLE HAS APPROXIMATELY 91,000 MILES AND OTHERS WITH HIGHER MILEAGE HAVE DOCUMENTED THAT TOYOTA HAS REPAIRED THIS KNOWN, WELL DOCUMENTED, EXPENSIVE (ABOUT $4,000) AND CONTINUED DANGEROUS BRAKING PROBLEM IN SEVERAL CASES. PER THE DEALERSHIP AND MY CONTACT WITH TOYOTA THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO REPAIR MY VEHICLE AT THEIR COST., WHICH AT THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP IS ABOUT $4,000 PARTS AND LABOR. AN ADDITIONAL ISSUE IS TRUSTING TOYOTA SERVICE AND/OR PRIVATE MECHANICS THAT THEY WILL REPLACE THE PROBLEM PART(S) OR REPLACING ADDITIONAL PARTS MAKING THE REPAIR BILL HIGHER OR MAYBE NOT FIXING THE PROBLEM WHERE ADDITIONAL REPAIRS WILL BE REQUIRED BEFORE TOO LONG.

TRAVELING HOME FROM TAMPA TO ST. PETERSBURG ON INTERSTATE AT 70 MPH AND SUDDENLY BREAKS FAIL. BRAKE, ABS, AND TRACTION LIGHTS COME ON. PUSHED PEDAL TO THE FLOOR AND WAS ABLE TO GET ENOUGH BRAKING TO PULL OFF THE INTERSTATE AND INTO A GAS STATION AND INTO A PARKING SPOT SAFELY. NO WARNING-JUST IMMEDIATE FAILURE. MIRACLE NO ONE KILLED. READING MANY OTHER SIMILAR STORIES FOR YEAR. WHAT IS GOING ON THAT THIS HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED????

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA PRIUS. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED TO THE FLOORBOARD WHILE ATTEMPTING TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL SOUND COMING FROM THE VEHICLE. THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TOYOTA OF TAMPA BAY (1101 E FLETCHER AVE, TAMPA, FL 33612: (813) 402-1323) ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE ABS MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT YET REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 152,000.

I INHERITED A 2010 TOYOTA PRIUS 3RD GENERATION WHEN MY MOTHER PASSED A FEW YEARS AGO. I'VE SINCE HAD SEVERAL UNNECESSARY AND COSTLY PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR AS WELL AS DEALERSHIP'S OUTLOOK, TREATMENT, AND INDIFFERENCE TO THE DANGER THAT THEIR CUSTOMERS FACE--AS MANY ALREADY HAVE. THE FOLLOWING ARE SITUATIONS THAT I'M EXPERIENCING NOW. FIRST, I WAS RECENTLY LEAVING THE PHARMACY WHEN ALL OF MY WARNING LIGHTS (ABS, BRAKE, TRACTION ) SUDDENLY CAME ON AND MY BRAKES FAILED AS I WAS HEADING HOME. I'M A SINGLE MOTHER OF A SPECIAL NEEDS CHILD AND I HAD TO GET HOME TO HER. I WAS APPROXIMATELY 1 MILE FROM MY HOME AND I WAS NEARLY IN 3 ACCIDENTS THAT COULD'VE BEEN CATASTROPHIC. THANKFULLY THE ROAD WAS DRY, CLEAR, AND WITH LITTLE TRAFFIC. WE HAVE BEEN HOMEBOUND FOR WEEKS, WITHOUT TRANSPORTATION FOR DOCTORS, FOOD, ETC. OUR VEHICLE IS OUR ONLY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION, AND WE MUST GET TO DOCTOR APPOINTMENTS, ETC. SECOND, THE CAR HAS INEXPLICABLY STALLED TWICE. THIRD, I'M CONSTANTLY HAVING TO REPLACE LIGHTS, AND HAVE BEEN PULLED OVER BY THE POLICE FOR LIGHTS NOT WORKING. FINALLY, AN AIRBAG HAS BEEN RECALLED AND ONCE I CAN AFFORD IT I'LL GET THAT FIXED AS WELL. I SPOKE WITH MY LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIPS, AND AFTER EXPLAINING THE PROBLEMS, I WAS INFORMED (SEVERAL TIMES AS I WAS REPEATEDLY TRANSFERRED) THAT I HAD TO PAY AN INSPECTION FEE THAT ALSO CHANGED WITH EACH PERSON. FINALLY, I WAS TOLD I HAD TO LEAVE MY CAR THERE FOR DAYS AND THAT I WAS GOING TO PAY THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO FIX THE CAR. I'M UNABLE TO PAY THAT MUCH MONEY--AND THE AMOUNT KEPT CHANGING AS WELL. I HAVE RESEARCHED THESE PROBLEMS AND NOW UNDERSTAND THE METHODOLOGY AND INTIMIDATION USED ON POOR PEOPLE SUCH AS MYSELF. TOYOTA SHOULD BE ASHAMED. FIX THESE PROBLEMS THAT WILL ENDANGER AND POSSIBLY KILL YOUR CUSTOMERS FOR NOTHING MORE THAN THEIR OWN INCOMPETENCE AND GREED.

JUST PURCHASE THE CAR AND THEY R REFUSING TO FIX THE ABS KNOWN ISSUE UNDER THAT ABS RECALL

MY 2010 TOYOTA PRIUS HAS LEATHER SEATS AND THE PASSENGER SIDE LIGHT IS COMING ON. ACCORDING TO TOYOTA RECALL THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE LEATHER SEATS AND CALIBRATION.THE SENSOR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE IS NOT COMMUNICATING WITH THE FRONT AIRBAG SO WHEN YOU SIT DOWN AND BUCKLE IN IT DOES NOT ACTIVATE THE FRONT AIRBAG. A SEATBELT AND AIRBAG LIGHT IS CONSTANTLY ON.

TOYOTA PRIUS 2010 STARTED EXPERIENCING BRAKING ISSUES IN JANUARY 17, 2020. CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER THREE TIMES WITH MISS DIAGNOSIS. IN MARCH DEALER DIAGNOSED ISSUE MOST LIKELY A BRAKE BOOSTER AND PUMP ASSEMBLY WHICH WAS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH 2010 PRIUS. TOYOTA IDENTIFIED THE ISSUE IN A PREVIOUS QUALITY CAMPAIGN BUT ONLY REPAIRED IF BRAKES FULLY FAILED. BRAKE FAILURE IS WHAT IT TOOK TO HAVE YOUR CAR REPAIRED?

ABS, TRACTION, AND BRAKE LIGHT STAY ON. IT IS THE ACTUATOR BRAKE AND THE COST TO FIX IS OVER $2000. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE WITH OTHER 2010 PRIUS' AND IT IS A COMMON ISSUE. THIS IS A DEFECT THAT TOYOTA REFUSES TO FIX EVEN THOUGH IT IS VERY COMMON AND PUTS MANY PEOPLE AT RISK.

ON TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 23, OUR BRAKING SYSTEM FAILED ON OUR TOYOTA PRIUS WHILE DRIVING ON A SIDE ROAD AFTER MONTHS OF CONTINUING WEAKNESS IN THE BRAKE PEDAL AND "LURCHING" WHEN BRAKING OVER POTHOLES. THE BRAKE SYSTEM LOST HYDRAULIC PRESSURE. UPON INSPECTION BY AN ASE-CERTIFIE MECHANIC, THEY DETERMINED THE BRAKE BOOSTER ASSEMBLY HAD LIKELY FAILED, BUT RECOMMENDED SENDING TO A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. THEY CONFIRMED THE VEHICLE WAS UNFIT TO DRIVE. THE VEHICLE WAS SENT TO A TOYOTA DEALER. THE DEALER CONFIRMED THE BREAK BOOSTER ASSEMBLY/ACTUATOR HAD FAILED. THE DEALER ADVISED THE BRAKE BOOSTER HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN UNDER A TOYOTA "CUSTOMER SERVICE CAMPAIGN," BUT THAT THE "WARRANTY" CAMPAIGN HAD EXPIRED. HOWEVER, HE ADVISED TOYOTA BRAND ENGAGEMENT CENTER HAS OFTEN ASSISTED CUSTOMERS WHEN THEY'RE JUST OUTSIDE THE WARRANTY PERIOD. WHEN CONTACTING TOYOTA, THEY STATED THIS VEHICLE WAS NEVER UNDER RECALL AND WAS NOT ELIGIBLE, BUT THEN SAID THEY SENT INFORMATION ON A TOYOTA SAFETY CAMPAIGN. UPON RESEARCH, WE CONTINUED TO CONFIRM THAT THE DIAGNOSIS WAS TIED TO RECALL D0H FROM JULY 2013. WE'VE ALSO REVIEWED OUR VEHICLE HISTORY, AND THE BRAKE PUMP ASSEMBLY WAS NEVER REPLACED DESPITE BEING INSPECTED CONSISTENTLY BY TOYOTA DEALERS SINCE 2013 AND UNDER RECALL. TOYOTA HAS DECLINED TO COVER THE COST OF THE REPLACEMENT FOR THE BRAKE PUMP ASSEMBLY. THE COST OF REPAIR IS NEARLY THE SAME AS THE CURRENT VALUE OF THE VEHICLE. TOYOTA BRAND ENGAGEMENT CENTER HAS DECLINED TO PROVIDE THIS INFORMATION IN WRITING, WOULD NOT PROVIDE A NAME, AND OTHERWISE ACTED COMPLETELY SKETCHY - FOR LACK OF A BETTER WORD - ANY TIME WE TRIED TO CLARIFY THE REPAIR WAS CLEARLY TIED TO THE JUNE 2013 RECALL. WE WERE VERY, VERY FORTUNATE THE BRAKES FAILED ON A SIDE STREET NEAR OUR HOME, NOT ON A HIGHWAY OR OTHER HIGH-RISK AREA. WE WOULD LIKE TOYOTA TO HONOR THE RECALL, EXTEND IT FOR OTHER CUSTOMERS, AND COVER THE COST OF REPAIR.

I HAVE LOST ALL REGENERATIVE BRAKING. THE ABS, TRACTION CONTROL, AND SERVICE LIGHTS ARE ALL ILLUMINATED CONTINUALLY. IT HAS BECOME DIFFICULT TO STOP AND THE HYBRID BATTERY IS DEPLETING AT A RAPID RATE WITH VERY SLOW RECHARGING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA PRIUS. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH AND DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL TO ATTEMPT TO STOP THE VEHICLE, THE VEHICLE PROCEEDED TO ROLL FORWARD WHILE THE PEDAL WAS STILL DEPRESSED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 209,000.

HELLO, I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH MY PRIUS 2010, I HAVE NOT IDEA WHAT HAPPENED WITH MY BRAKES WHEN I WAS DRIVING IN HIGHWAY 95 NORTH IN FLORIDA, MY BRAKES WAS HEAVY AND DIFFICULT TO PUCH, AFTER THAT PROBLEM NEVER MY CAR WAS NORMAL AGAIN .I HAVE ALL THATS LIGHT ON IN MY CAR RIGHT NOW. I AM SCARY DRIVE MY CAR WITH THIS PROBLEM. I SEE LOT UP INFORMATION OF OTHER OWNERS OF TOYOTA PRIUS 2010 AND 2011 WITH THE SAME PROBLEM BUT ANYBODY KNOT WHAT IS THE PROBLEM . MY LIGHT OF BRAKES ABS , STABILYTRAC AND OTHER SYMBOLS OF PRACAUTION IS ON IN THE SAMETIME. IS IMPORTANT FIX THIS PROBLEM . OUR HEAL AND OUR LIFE CAN NOT BE REPLACE FOR AN BRAKES PROBLEM OF THE CAR . I CALLED TOYOTA THIS WEEK FOR LET THEY KNOW THE INFORMATION ABOUT MY PROBLEM AND OTHER USERS IN INTERNET. THIS IS A BIG SECURITY PROBLEM . SOMEBODY NEED TAKE CARE THE RESPONSABILITY ABOUT THIS , THEY DID AN DIAGNOSTIC ABOUT OF THIS PROBLEM AND THEY KNOW THE PROBLEM BRAKES IN THIS MODEL PRIUS LONG TIME AGO . I WANT A SEE ANY RESULT ABOUT THIS SITUATION BECAUSE IS OUR LIFE . THIS CAN BE DANGEROUS THIS FOR OUR SAFETY ON ROAD FOR MILLON PEOPLES IN UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

VEHICLE AFTER AWHILE STARTS TO CONSUME OIL. IT'S RUNS OUT OF OIL VERY QUICKLY. THERE IS NO OIL LEAK.

WENT OVER BUMP AT RAILROAD CROSSING AND ABS, BRAKE, SLIP WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON AND REGENERATIVE BRAKING STOPPED WORKING. CAR WAS HARDER TO STOP. TOOK TO DEALER AND CAR WAS DIAGNOSED WITH THIS WORK NEEDED: REPLACE BOOSTER AND BOOSTER PUMP ASSY AND REFLASH (FAILED BOOSTER, BOOSTER PUMP) FAIL $3,259.84 CAR IS BEYOND WARRANTY FIX DATES THOUGH ALL THESE CARS WERE RECALLED IN CANADA AND A CLASS ACTION SUIT IS ONGOING IN OHIO OVER THIS ISSUE. WHY WON'T THE NTSB FOLLOW CANADA'S LEAD AND GET THESE FAILING BRAKE SYSTEMS FIXED BEFORE SOMETHING SERIOUS HAPPENS?

MY CAR'S ABS, TRACTION, AND BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ON. I TOOK IT TO TWO SHOPS AND THEY BOTH SAID MY CAR WAS RECALLED AND TO HAVE THE DEALERSHIP FIX IT. THE RECALL IS ON THE BREAKS. THE BRAKE PEDAL IS ALSO NOT FULLY WORKING, THERE IS AN ABNORMAL LEAK OF BRAKE FLUID PRESSURE. BOTH AUTO SERVICE PLACES SAID TO DEMAND FOR THE DEALERSHIP TO TAKE CAR OF THIS BECAUSE THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT GOING ON FOR THIS CAR WITH THIS EXACT PROBLEM.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND THE TRACTION CONTROL, ABS, AND BRAKE LIGHT ALL COME ON. I GO TO USE THE BRAKES AND THE PEDAL WAS A LOT FIRMER AND WAS HARDER TO PRESS. THE CAR MAKES A BUZZING NOISE I BELIEVE IT IS THE BRAKE ACCUMULATOR. I GO TO THE NEAREST PLACE TO GET THE CODES READ. IT CAME UP WITH C1391 AND I LOOK THAT CODE UP AND IT COMES UP WITH THAT CODE IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE PRIUS. I READ THAT IT COULD LEAD TO BRAKE FAILURE.

BRAKE BOOSTER FAILURE, LOSS PRESSURE AT BRAKE THE CAR, THE STABILITY CONTROL AND THE ABS DOESN'T WORK

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA PRIUS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT DRIVING AT 15 MPH, THE BRAKES FAILED TO OPERATE AS NEEDED UPON DEPRESSION OF THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SEVERAL WARNING LIGHTS APPEARED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL INCLUDING THE ABS, TIRE PRESSURE, TRACTION CONTROL AND EMERGENCY BRAKE LIGHTS. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE TO HALEY TOYOTA OF ROANOKE (1530 COURTLAND RD NE, ROANOKE, VA 24012) WHERE SHE WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS A CRACK IN THE BRAKE BOOSTER PUMP ASSEMBLY ACCUMULATOR, A DECREASE IN THE HYDRAULIC PRESSURE, AND A DEFECTIVE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER. UPON INVESTIGATION, THE CONTACT LINKED THE FAILURE TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 13V235000 (SERVICE BRAKES) HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 162,000.

THE CASING OF THE BRAKE ACTUATOR IS CRACKING. THE BRAKE ACTUATOR APPARENTLY IS AN UNDERLYING PROBLEM THAT TOYOTA DOES NOT WANT TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR AND FIX.

HEADLIGHT BULBS KEEP GOING BLOWING CONSISTENTLY.VEHICLE STATIONARY

I TRAVEL TO WORK ONE HOUR AWAY FROM HOME, ON HIGH SPEED HIGHWAY'S MY BREAK SYSTEM LIGHTS TURNED ON, TRACTION, ABS AND BREAK, BREAK PEDAL SINKS AND WILL NOT BREAK AND IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN DRIVING HOME. I HOPE NO ONE GETS KILLED

TOYOTA BRAKE BOOSTER PUMP HAS FAILED DUE TO MANUFACTURING DEFECTS, WHICH AFFECTED THE STOPPING OF THE VEHICLE. TOYOTA HAS ISSUED RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM BUT ONLY FOR LATEST MODELS (2019 AND LATER). I'VE CALLED TO TOYOTA AND THEY REFUSED TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM. I LOOKED UP ON INTERNET AND FOUND THIS IS A WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM EXPERIENCED BY MANY OWNERS OF PRIUSES. TOYOTA MUST ISSUE THE RECALL FOR ALL THE VEHICLES AFFECTED, NOT THE LATEST ONES ONLY.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HWY WITH 3 CHILDREN WHEN IT CUT OFF ON ME AND MY STEERING WHEEL WAS LOCKED . I TOOK IT TO FOUR MECHANICS I SAW THE TOYOTA DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS MY BATTERY AND NOW I KNOW THAT I HAVE A RECALL ON IT . I HAVE NOT DRIVEN MY CAR IN THREE MONTHS I'M ALSO STILL PAYING PAYMENTS ON IT . I ALSO WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS MY BREAK. I BOUGHT A NEW BRAKE BOOSTER AND PAY FOR THE REPLACEMENT AND THE PROBLEM WAS STILL HUNGRY JUST

I AM HAVING AN ISSUE WITH MY BRAKE ACTUATOR/BRAKE BOOSTER. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND TOYOTA IS REFUSING TO HELP WITH THE ISSUE. THE ABS, BRAKE, AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT ARE ON AND REGEN BRAKING IS NOT WORKING. THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO COVER THIS BASED ON BULLETIN ZJB BUT ABSOLUTELY REFUSE ANY HELP.

WAS GOING 25 MPH YESTERDAY NOVEMBER 22, 2020 EVENING WHEN 4 (BRAKE, ABS, TRACTION & CAUTION) LIGHTS CAME ON DASHBOARD. PULLED OVER THE SHOULDER & TURNED IGNITION OFF. RESTARTED LATER & 4 LIGHTS STILL ON. FOLLOWING DAY, WENT TO DEALERSHIP & WAS TOLD BRAKE BOOSTER ASSEMBLY NEED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO INTERNAL FLUID LEAK.

I HAVE EXPERIENCED PROBLEMS WITH THE ELECTRICAL, OIL, AND BREAK SYSTEMS EVER SINCE PURCHASING MY CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED 2010 PRIUS FROM THE DEALERSHIP IN 2013. TOYOTA HAS NEVER PROVIDED A SATISFACTORY ANSWER FOR WHAT IS ACTUALLY WRONG WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM; THE PROBLEM STILL REMAINS. TOYOTA ALSO DOES NOT HAVE AN IDEAL MAINTENANCE PLAN SET UP FOR THE KNOWN INCREASED OIL CONSUMPTION RATE THAT IS DIRECTLY LINKED TO MY MODEL VEHICLE AND HAS NOT ONLY NOT PERFORMED ROUTINE OIL CHANGES BUT ALSO SENT ME HOME AFTER A SUPPOSED OIL CHANGE WITH ZERO OIL IN MY TANK. BUT TODAY MY MAIN CONCERN THAT I TAKE ISSUE WITH AND THAT IVE ENCOUNTERED FROM THE GET-GO, HAS TO DO WITH THE BREAKS. FOR YEARS I'VE BEEN TELLING TOYOTA ABOUT HOW MY BREAKS DO THIS THING WHERE UNDER THE RIGHT CIRCUMSTANCES (THOSE BEING THINGS LIKE SLIGHT BUMPS OR RAISES IN THE ROAD, OR GOING OVER A MANHOLE COVER) THE BREAKS NOT ONLY GIVE OUT BUT ACTUALLY PROPEL ME FORWARD WITH ZERO CHANCE FOR STOPPING WHICH IS QUITE TERRIFYING ALREADY AND THEN WHEN YOU ADD IN OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD INTO THE EQUATION IS A LITERAL NIGHTMARE. DESPITE MY MANY EFFORTS FOR TOYOTA TO TAKE A LOOK AT THEM THEY ALWAYS REFUSE ANY SERVICE TO THEM BECAUSE MY DASHBOARD IS NOT DISPLAYING ANY WARNING SIGNS. ALSO, DUE TO THE FACT THAT ITS NOT A CONSTANT ISSUE, MEANING IT ONLY HAPPENS UNDER THE RIGHT CIRCUMSTANCES WHICH IDK WHERE SUCH A PRECISE PLACE EXISTS NEAR THE DEALERSHIP, THEY CANT EXPERIENCE IT FOR THEMSELVES. SO MY CONCERNS ARE DISMISSED LEAVING ME TO FEND FOR MYSELF WHENEVER THESE CIRCUMSTANCES ARISE WHICH NO DOUBT AN ACCIDENT SEEMS TO BE ON THE HORIZON. THEN WITH ~114,700 MILES ON THE ODOMETER, MY ENTIRE ABS SYSTEM CRASHED WHILE I WAS IN TRAFFIC. LUCKILY I AM A BEYOND EXCEPTIONAL DRIVER AND ALSO HAVE CATLIKE REFLEXES SO WAS ABLE TO MANAGE MY WAY TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD WHEN THIS OCCURRED. HOWEVER, WITH WARNING LIGHTS NOW ILLUMINATED O

UPON STARTING THE CAR, THE ABS, BRAKE AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS ALL CAME ON. CHECKED BRAKE FLUID AND IT WAS AT MAX LEVEL. TOOK TO DEALER AND SHOWED CODE 1391 WHICH SHOWED THE BRAKE BOOSTER AND BOOSTER PUMP ASSEMBLIES NEED REPLACING. IT'S A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH TOYOTA. A VOLUNTARY RECALL WAS ISSUED FOR OUR 2010, BUT MY SPECIFIC MODEL WASN'T INCLUDED AND RECALL EXPIRED IN 11/19 OR 150K MILES. I'M AT 150,992. THERE IS ACTIVE RECALL FOR SAME ISSUE FOR 2011-2015 MODELS. IT'S A KNOWN SAFETY ISSUE AND THEY REFUSE TO FIX IT. IT'S A $3K JOB TO REPAIR FOR A CAR THAT IS WORTH ABOUT DOUBLE THAT. WHEN THIS WARNING COMES UP, YOUR BRAKING SYSTEM IS NOT RELIABLE. HAD THIS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING, AN ACCIDENT COULD HAVE OCCURRED. TOYOTA KNOWING THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE NEEDS TO CORRECT IT ON ALL MODELS THAT SHOW THIS WARNING, NOT JUST SELECT MODELS.

BAD RINGS IN THE MOTOR. MY DEALER SAID HE IS SEEING A LOT OF PRIUS'S LIKE THIS. HE THINKS TOYOTA WILL HAVE A RECALL ON THE PRIUS SOON. CAMRY AND RAV-4 HAS ALREADY BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS REASON. MY PRIUS JUST STARTED USING A LOT OF OIL @130,000. (1QT PER 1200 MILES) PLEASE ENFORCE A RECALL FOR CONSUMER PROTECTION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA PRIUS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS FIRM CAUSING THE BRAKING DISTANCE TO BE EXTENDED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TOYOTA OF LINCOLN PARK LOCATED AT 1561 N FREMONT ST, CHICAGO, IL 60642 WHO DIAGNOSED THE VEHICLE AND DETERMINED THAT THE BRAKE BOOSTER AND MASTER CYLINDER WERE DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT YET REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE BUT OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

UPON TURNING THE VEHICLE ON AND STARTING TO DRIVE, THE INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE THEN STARTS AND EXPERIENCES ABOUT 20 SECONDS OF MISFIRING TO THE POINT THE CAR IS WITHOUT SMOOTH POWER. THIS HAPPENS AT RANDOM. IF THE CAR WAS IN THE WRONG SITUATION WHEN IT HAPPENED IT COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THE SAME THING WILL OCCASIONALLY HAPPEN WHEN PARKED AFTER WAITING FOR THE ENGINE TO START.

I WENT TO THE DEALER AS I WAS TOLD AFTER OPENING A CASE WITH TOYOTA,, HOWEVER THE SOLUTION WAS NOT RESOLVED TO MY SATISFACTION. BASICALLY. SAFETY PARTS WERE REPLACED FROM A RECALL ON 08/2013. A FEW YEARS LATER I GOT ANOTHER TOYOTA NOTIFICATION THAT IF I HAD THESE BRAKE BOOSTER RELATED FAILURES/LIGHTS TO BRING IT IN, I WOULD HAVE EVEN IF I HAD THE LIGHTS WITHOUT THE NOTIFICATION. THE OTHER DAY I HAD THE FAILURE RELATED TO THE DEFECTIVE PARTS INSTALLED ON 08/2013. SO SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 08/2013 AND WHEN TOYOTA NOTIFIED ME ABOUT THE LIGHTS OR THE STILL EXISTING DEFECT, THAT THERE WAS A DEFECT GOING TO HAPPEN BUT DID NOT KNOW WHEN AND TODAY I HAD THE FAILURE. I BELIEVED THAT SINCE I HAD THE ORIGINAL REPLACEMENT BRAKE SAFETY PARTS REPLACED THAT I WAS DRIVING A SAFE PRIUS. I FEEL THE SECOND REPAIR FOR THE SAME PARTS SHOULD BE COVERED SINCE WHEN THEY NOTIFIED ME THEY KNEW THERE WAS A DEFECT AND CHOSE NOT TO ABSORB THE COST OF THIS REMEDY.

I WAS DRIVING A NORMAL COMMUTE WHEN AT RANDOM, THE ABS, BRAKE, AND TRACTION LIGHT WENT ON. THE BRAKES SEEMED TO DEPRESS QUICKER AND FELT 'OFF'. I WAS THANKFULLY CLOSE ENOUGH TO HOME. THE BRAKE LEVELS WERE FINE, HOWEVER AFTER TAKING THE CAR INTO THE DEALER, I WAS NOTIFIED THAT THE BREAK BOOSTER FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. AFTER RESEARCH, IT APPEARS THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS PART IN 2013, AS WELL AS A RECENT LEGAL SUIT SUGGESTING THAT TOYOTA DID NOT INCLUDE ALL VEHICLES THAT COULD BE AFFECTED BY THIS FAULTY PART (ISSUE TYPICALLY SHOWS UP AROUND 150K MILES). I HAVE A 2010 PRIUS ( INCLUDED IN THE SUIT) WITH JUST ABOVE 150K AND WAS NEVER NOTIFIED.

MY CAR IS ACCELERATING WHILE BRAKING. WHENEVER I TRY TO BRAKE ON THE ROAD WHILE CURBING OR STOPPING AT THE TRAFFIC SIGNALS, THE CAR SKIPS/SLIDE FORWARD. IT'S GETTING WORSE ON THE RAINY TIME THOUGH.

CAR SHAKES BADLY WHEN CHANGING FORM ELECTRIC TO GAS MOTOR, STARTED SMOKING IN THE BACK.

CAR STALLS WHILE DRIVING AND AND CHECK HYBRID SYSTEM NOTIFICATION LIGHTS UP ON THE DASH.

WHILE COMING HOME FROM WORK, MY WIFE NOTICED THE BRAKE, ABS, AND TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHTS OF THE VEHICLE CAME ON WHILE ON THE FREEWAY; MY WIFE HAD TO IMMEDIATELY GET OFF THE FREEWAY SINCE SHE NOTICED THAT SLOWING DOWN THE VEHICLE REQUIRED MUCH MORE EFFORT THAN USUAL. SHE NEARLY HAD AN ACCIDENT GOING DOWN THE FREEWAY RAMP. WE HAVE SCHEDULED TO BRING THE CAR IN FOR A FIX SINCE THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN TO US.

VEHICLE HAS APPROXIMATELY 120,000 MILES. WHILE DRIVING THROUGH TOWN OR ON THE HIGHWAY, OUR VEHICLE WILL INTERMITTENTLY LOSE REGENERATIVE BRAKING. DURING THESE INSTANCES, THE BRAKE PEDAL SOFTENS AND GREATER EFFORT MUST BE EXERTED TO SLOW AND STOP THE CAR. SOMETIMES MINUTES... AT OTHER TIMES THE NEXT DAY AFTER THE CAR HAS SAT IN THE GARAGE, THE INDICATOR LIGHTS WILL ALL TURN OFF AND REGENERATIVE BRAKING RESUMES NORMALLY. THIS CREATES A VERY UNSAFE SITUATION AS IT CAN BE UNPREDICTABLE HOW MUCH PRESSURE TO APPLY TO THE BRAKES. THIS IS BEEN NOTICED AT SLOW SPEEDS, HIGHWAY SPEEDS, IN TURNS, OR TRAVELING IN A STRAIGHT LINE. THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED AND DETERMINED TO HAVE A FAULTY BRAKE BOOSTER/ACTUATOR. THIS HAS CREATED AN UNSAFE AND UNRELIABLE SITUATION FOR TRANSPORTING MY FAMILY. WHAT IS QUITE CONCERNING IS THAT THIS OCCURRED WITH THE 2ND GENERATION PRIUS AND TOYOTA EXTENDED A HELPING HAND BY ISSUING A RECALL OR WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT. HOWEVER, MY VEHICLE WAS PRODUCED JUST MONTHS OUTSIDE OF THE 13V235000 RECALL WINDOW, YET EXPERIENCES THE SAME DANGEROUS DRIVING EXPERIENCE AS THOSE WHO WERE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. TOYOTA NEEDS TO DO THE RIGHT THING AND THE SAFE THING BY RECALLING ADDITIONAL 3RD GENERATION PRIUS VEHICLES AND REPAIR OR REPLACE ALL FAULTY COMPONENTS BEFORE MORE CRASHES AND INJURIES OCCUR.

ABS ACTUATOR HAS A LEAK. IT IS A $1200 REPAIR. MY MECHANIC, WHO ONLY WORKS ON HYBRIDS, SAID THAT THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING A LOT WITH MY YEAR PRIUS (AS WELL AS OTHER YEARS), BUT THE EXTENDED WARRANTY ONLY COVERS 2011 AND LATER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA PRIUS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT UNKNOWN SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED OCCASIONALLY. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V684000 (HYBRID PROPULSION SYSTEM). THE DEALER WAS NOT CALLED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 120,000.

THE MORNING OF 8/24/20, I ATTEMPTED TO START MY CAR. A MESSAGE APPEARS, "CHECK HYBRID SYSTEM". I FOUND THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL, IN 2018, THAT INVOLVES A SOFTWARE ISSUE. I HAD MY 2010 PRIUS TOWED TO KOLAR TOYOTA IN HERMANTOWN MINNESOTA, ON, I BELIEVE 8/26/20. THEY GAVE ME AN ESTIMATE OF $3200 TO REPLACE THE INVERTER. I HAD READ ABOUT THE INVERTER FAILURE BEING DIRECTLY LINKED TO SOFTWARE RECALL. THEY SAID THEY'D LOOK IN TO IT AND LATER REPLIED TO ME THAT, YES, THE INVERTER WOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL AND REPAIRED AT NO COST TO ME. THEY SAID THEY HAD ORDERED THE PART BUT MY CAR WOULD NOT BE READY UNTIL 8/31/20, AT THE EARLIEST. THEY SAID THE PART ARRIVED AND MY CAR WAS IN THE PROCESS OF BEING REPAIRED. I CONTACTED THEM AND ASKED HOW THINGS WERE GOING. THE SERVICE MANAGER, TAYLOR, TOLD ME "FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER WE HAD TWO VEHICLES, OF THE SAME MAKE BUT DIFFERENT YEARS, IN FOR THE SAME REPAIR". HE WENT ON TO SAY, ACCORDING TO FEDEX TRACKING, THE PART HAD BEEN SHIPPED BUT TRACKING SHOWED NOTHING ELSE. I ASKED HIM IF HE WAS SURE THE TRACKING WAS FOR MY PART AND NOT THE PART FOR THE OTHER VEHICLE. HE TOLD ME HE HAD NO IDEA FOR WHICH PART THE TRACKING WAS FOR. HE THEN WENT ON TO TELL ME WE WOULD JUST HAVE TO "WAIT AND SEE IF THE PART SHOWS UP". HE WENT ON TO SAY "IT COULD TAKE DAYS OR WEEKS OR LONGER" BEFORE WE KNOW IF THE PART WAS COMING IN. A FEW DAYS LATER I CALLED TO SEE IF ANY PROGRESS HAD BEEN MADE AND WAS TOLD BY TAYLOR "THE PART HAS DISAPPEARED FROM TRACKING". I ASKED HIM IF THAT MEANT IT HAD BEEN DELIVERED AND WAS POSSIBLY THE PART FOR THE OTHER VEHICLE. HE BASICALLY REPLIED HE HAD NO CLUE. HE SAID WE WOULD JUST HAVE TO WAIT AND SEE, ONCE AGAIN. I'VE BEEN CALLING EVERY TWO OR THREE DAYS SINCE THEN. SOMETIMES HE RETURNS MY CALLS. SOMETIMES HE DOESN'T. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO AT THIS POINT. MY VEHICLE IS A 2010 TOYOTA PRIUS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA PRIUS. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS, SEVERAL UNKNOWN WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LOCAL DEALER HEADQUARTER TOYOTA LOCATED AT 5895 NW 167TH ST, HIALEAH, FL 33015, (786) 235-9734, WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH NEEDING THE BRAKE BOOSTER TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT, CONTINUED TO EXPERIENCE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN INFORMED OF FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,117.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA PRIUS. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNDISCLOSED SPEED, ANOTHER VEHICLE CUT IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT QUICKLY DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE VEHICLE STARTED TO SKID. THE CONTACT LET UP OFF THE BRAKE PEDAL TO STRAIGHTEN THE VEHICLE AND STAY IN HER LANE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ANTILOCK BRAKES FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT SHE HAD TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR AN OIL CHANGE BEFORE THE FAILURE AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER RECALL. THE CONTACT CALLED FRED ANDERSON TOYOTA OF ASHEVILLE (777 BREVARD RD, ASHEVILLE, NC 28806) AND INFORMED THEM OF THE RECALL ON THE BRAKE BOOSTER PUMP ASSEMBLY. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OVER THE MILEAGE FOR THE REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED A CASE NUMBER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 197,000.

PREVIOUS RECALLS FOR A 2010 TOYOTA PRIUS (NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 13V235000) AND A 2019 TOYOTA CUSTOMER SUPPORT PROGRAM (CSP ZJB) HAS ACKNOWLEDGED AN UNSAFE FAILURE MODE IN THE VEHICLE WHERE THE BRAKE BOOSTER ASSEMBLY FAILS DUE TO HIGH PRESSURE AND CAUSES THE AUTOMOBILE TO HAVE DIFFICULTY STOPPING. ON SEPTEMBER 4, 2020 WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT ROUGHLY 40 MPH, I EXPERIENCED INDICATION LIGHTS CONSISTENT WITH THE DESCRIPTIONS OUTLINED IN THE SAFETY RECALL AND TOYOTA SUPPORT PROGRAM. MY AUTOMOBILE ALSO HAD EXTREME DIFFICULTY COMING TO A STOP FROM 40 MPH AND I HAD TO UNSAFELY PULL TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD AT SPEED TO AVOID COLLIDING WITH THE AUTOMOBILE IN FRONT OF ME. THE TOYOTA CSP ZJB DOES NOT COVER MY VEHICLE DUE TO TIME AND MILEAGE OF THE VEHICLE, BUT I FEEL THIS SAFETY CRITICAL SYSTEM SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPLACED PRIOR TO ME EXPERIENCING A FAILURE. TOYOTA SELECTIVELY ONLY REPLACED BRAKE BOOSTER ASSEMBLIES OUTLINED IN THE RECALL AND THE CSP, IF THE AUTOMOBILE WAS EXPERIENCE ISSUES. TOYOTA STOPPED SHORT OF PREVENTATIVE SAFETY MEASURES OF REPLACING THIS ASSEMBLY PRIOR TO FAILURE, LEADING TO AN ALMOST COLLISION EVENT FOR ME. INDEPENDENT RESEARCH HAS IDENTIFIED THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN RESPONSIBLE FOR OTHER TOYOTA PRIUS ACCIDENTS LEADING ME TO BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY THE NHTSA BEFORE OTHERS EXPERIENCE A CRITICAL SAFETY FAILURE AT NO FAULT OF THEIR OWN.

I WAS COMFORTABLY DRIVING MY 2010 TOYOTA PRIUS DOWN A CITY STREET ON A THURSDAY AFTERNOON--ABOUT 25 MPH, LIGHT TRAFFIC--WHEN SUDDENLY--WITHOUT ANY TRIGGER OR WARNING--I LIGHTLY PRESSED DOWN THE BRAKE PEDAL TO SLOW DOWN FOR A SPEED BUMP, AND THE BRAKES SHUDDERED, THE BRAKE PEDAL SEEMED TO TWITCH, AND THE CAR STARTED MAKING A LOUD SHRIEKING AND GRINDING NOISE EVERY 3-5 SECONDS. FOR THE RECORD, MY 2010 TOYOTA PRIUS HAS BEEN REGULARLY SERVICED AT MY LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP SINCE I PURCHASED IT IN 2018. THE LOUD SHRIEKING FELT LIKE IT WAS COMING FROM BELOW MY FEET AND FROM THE DRIVE SHAFT. I PULLED OVER--THE SHRIEKING AND GRINDING CONTINUED. I STOPPED THE CAR--THE SHRIEKING AND GRINDING CONTINUED. I GOT OUT OF THE CAR--THE SHRIEKING AND GRINDING SLOWED AFTER A FEW MINUTES. WHEN I TURNED THE CAR ON AGAIN, THE SHRIEKING AND GRINDING STARTED AND THE CAR WAS BEEPING IN A WAY I'D NEVER HEARD BEFORE. FORTUNATELY, I WAS ABOUT 4 BLOCKS FROM MY LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. I ASKED THEM IF I WAS SAFE TO DRIVE THE FOUR BLOCKS OR IF I SHOULD GET THE CAR TOWED, AND THEY SAID I SHOULD BE SAFE TO DRIVE. I DROVE TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH THE CAR SHRIEKING AND BEEPING. THE BRAKES FELT SQUISHY AND UNRELIABLE, BUT THE DEALERSHIP HAS SAID I SHOULD BE FINE. I DROPPED OFF THE CAR. THE NEXT DAY, I GOT A CALL FROM THE DEALERSHIP SAYING THAT MY BRAKE BOOSTER PUMP AND BRAKE CYLINDER ASSEMBLY HAD TOTALLY FAILED. WHEN I ASKED THE TECHNICIAN IF THERE WAS SOMETHING I COULD HAVE DONE TO PREVENT THIS, HE SAID, 'NO, THIS IS JUST SOMETHING THAT HAPPENS TO THESE CARS.' THE BRAKE FAILURE OCCURRED ON THURSDAY, AUGUST 27, 2020. THE PHONE CALL FROM THE DEALERSHIP OCCURRED ON FRIDAY, AUGUST 28, 2020.

JUST PURCHASED THE CAR FROM A USED CAR DEALER 8/26/2020 AND WAS DRIVING DOWN A TWO LANE ROAD APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH COMING UP TO A STOP SIGN AND THE BRAKES WENT CRAZY WITH A CONTINUOUS BUZZING SOUND FROM THE BRAKES AND THE DASH ABS, TRACTION CONTROL, BRAKE SYSTEM WARNING LIGHTS ALL CAME ON, WOULD NOT STOP CAUSING ME TO RUN THE STOP SIGN AND MAKE A TURN TO SLOW DOWN AND FINALLY COME TO A STOP. HAD THE TROUBLE CODE READ AND THE STORE READ THE DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE AS C1391 AND RESET SO I COULD DRIVE THE VEHICLE SLOWLY HOME. I CHECKED FOR RECALLS ON THIS DTC 1391 BUT MY 2010 VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THEY NEED TO RECALL ALL OF THE 2010 PRIUS.

ABS SYSTEM WENT OUT.

THE CARS STARTS DOES NOT STAY ON IF I TRY TO DRIVE IT WILL TURN OFF AND DIE OUT .

THE RED BRAKES LIGHT, ABS LIGHT AND THE 'YELLOW SKIDDING CAR' ICON LIGHTS ALL COME ON TOGETHER, BUT INTERMITTENTLY. THE BRAKES OFTEN FEEL DIFFICULT TO PRESS DOWN UPON STARTING THE CAR. OFTER WHEN THE LIGHTS ARE ON, THE BRAKES FEEL SPONGY, OR AS THOUGH THEY MAY NOT STOP THE CAR. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND THEY CONCLUDED THAT THE MASTER CYLINDER AND OTHER PARTS NEEDED REPLACING. I FOUND OUT THAT TOYOTA HAS HAD LOTS OF PROBLEMS WITH THESE BRAKE CYLINDERS.

I EXPERIENCED A SIGNIFICANT LOSS OF BRAKE PERFORMANCE ACCOMPANIED BY MANY WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD, INCLUDING ONE THAT INDICATED A PROBLEM WITH THE ABS BRAKE SYSTEM IN MY 2010 PRIUS. UPON IMMEDIATELY TAKING THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP, I WAS TOLD THAT TOYOTA EXTENDED A WARRANTY PROGRAM (ZJB & ZKK) FOR THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM ABS BRAKE ACTUATOR/MASTER CYLINDER FAILURE, BUT THAT I WAS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR THE WARRANTY COVERAGE BECAUSE THE DEADLINE HAD EXPIRED. MY CAR WAS UNDER 150,000 MILES, AS REQUIRED BY THE WARRANTY, AND DISPLAYED THE CORRECT FAILURE CODE AS REQUIRED BY THE WARRANTY. BUT, SINCE MY CAR DID NOT EXPERIENCE THE PROBLEM OR DISPLAY AN ERROR CODE BEFORE THE END OF FEBRUARY 2020, I WAS TOLD THAT I WAS INELIGIBLE. I WAS INFORMED THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY OVER $4100 FOR A REPAIR THROUGH THE DEALERSHIP, BUY A NEW CAR OR TAKE MY CHANCES AND DRIVE THE CAR 'AS IS' UNTIL I COULD FIND A CHEAPER SOLUTION. THE CHEAPER SOLUTION WOULD BE TO FIND ANOTHER ABS UNIT AT A SALVAGE YARD, AND HAVE A NON-TOYOTA CERTIFIED MECHANIC INSTALL IT. THERE IS NOTHING TO INDICATE A SALVAGE YARD UNIT WILL NOT SIMPLY FAIL AGAIN. I WAS WELL WITHIN THE 150,000 MILE LIMIT OF THE WARRANTY. SO, I AM TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE REPAIR OF A PART THAT TOYOTA ADMITS IS FAULTY, AND WOULD HAVE REPLACED IF THE PROBLEM WOULD HAVE SURFACED A MERE SIX MONTHS EARLIER? I BELIEVE TOYOTA'S WARRANTY EXTENSION TO BE A MEAGER ATTEMPT AT APPEASING THE NHTSA AND OTHER AUTHORITIES SO THEY DO NOT HAVE TO LAUNCH A FULL SCALE RECALL. THEY ARE ENDANGERING THE LIVES OF HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WHO DEPEND ON THESE CARS ON A DAILY BASIS, AS THEY SHOULD NOT ASK THEIR CUSTOMERS TO EXPERIENCE A MAJOR BRAKE FAILURE BEFORE THE MANUFACTURER WILL AGREE TO FIX A KNOWN PROBLEM (OR NOT FIX IT, RATHER, AS THE TIME LIMIT HAS EXPIRED). TOYOTA IS PUTTING PROFITS AHEAD OF SAFETY, DURING A PANDEMIC. I THE NHTSA TO HELP US.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2010 TOYOTA PRIUS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER DRIVING HIS VEHICLE FOR SEVEN HOURS, THE CONTACT HAD PARKED THE VEHICLE IN HIS FRIEND'S DRIVEWAY. THIRTY MINUTES LATER, THE CONTACT'S FRIEND RECEIVED A KNOCK ON THE DOOR FROM A FIREMAN ASKING HIM WHO OWNED A PRIUS. AFTER THE CONTACT IDENTIFIED HIMSELF AS THE OWNER, THE FIREMAN INFORMED HIM THAT HIS VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A FIRE. A FIRE REPORT AND POLICE REPORT WERE FILED AT THE SCENE. NO INJURIES WERE REPORTED AS RESULT OF THE FIRE. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED BY THE FIRE AND WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT JUNK YARD. THE CONTACT NOTIFIED THE MANUFACTURER OF THE FAILURE AND THE CONTACT WAS GIVEN A CASE NUMBER. THE CONTACT WAS ALSO INFORMED THAT AN INVESTIGATION WOULD BE LAUNCHED REGARDING THE MATTER. THE CONTACT HAD SENT PHOTOS AND EMAIL CORRESPONDENCES TO THE MANUFACTURER; HOWEVER, HE NEVER HEARD BACK FROM THE MANUFACTURER. UPON INVESTIGATION, THE CONTACT DISCOVERED A RECALL ON HIS VEHICLE UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V684000 (HYBRID PROPULSION SYSTEM) WHICH HE LINKED TO HIS FAILURE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT SPOKEN TO A DEALER ABOUT THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 77,000.

WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY THE VEHICLE LOSES POWER CAUSING IT TO LOCSE SPEED QUICKLY. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS IF YOU ARE IN AN AREA WHERE IT IS HARD TO PULL OFF. IT WILL DRIVE 42MPH UNTIL THE BATTERY DIES. THIS IS MORE COMMON THAN MOST ISSUES WITH THIS MODEL. PLEASE MAKE TOYOTA REPLACE THE ENGINES IN THESE VEHICLES. "CHECK HYBRID SYSTEM"

WHILE IN MOTION DRIVING AT 50 MPH, WARNING BEEP SIGNALED AND CAR STARTED SLOWING DOWN. NOTIFICATION ON THE DASHBOARD READ "CHECK HYBRID SYSTEM". VEHICLE EVENTUALLY SLOWED TO A STOP AND PUT ITSELF IN NEUTRAL AUTOMATICALLY. TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC WHO SAID IT IS THE INVERTER/CONVERTER.

GOT CODE ABS PUMP C13591 FROM TOYOTA DEALER, THEY REFUSE TO FIX UNDER WARRANTY

BRAKES SYSTEM WARNING INDICATORS LIGHT UP. BRAKES FEEL WEAK, NEED TO STEP HARDER THAN NORMAL TO START SLOWING DOWN. I LOOKED THIS UP ON THE INTERNET AND THIS A KNOWN DEFECT THAT TOYOTA COVERS UNDER 'CUSTOMER SUPPORT PROGRAM ZJB' FOR A CERTAIN PERIOD ONLY. OF COURSE IT HAPPENS RIGHT AFTER THAT COVERAGE PERIOD. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL AS IT AFFECTS A KNOWN SAFETY ISSUE.

THE BRAKES WENT COMPLETELY OUT ON THE VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. I HAD NO ABILITY AT ALL OTHER THAN THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. THE DEALER SAID THAT THE CAUSE WAS THE BRAKE BOOSTER AND MASTER BRAKE CYLINDER.

I WAS AT HIGHWAY SPEED WHEN FOUR ANNUNCIATOR LIGHTS ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH (MASTER WARNING, BRAKE SYSTEM WARNING LIGHT, ABS WARNING LIGHT, SLIP INDICATOR). I DECELERATED VEHICLE USING ENGINE POWER THEN APPLIED BRAKES. BRAKE PEDAL DEPRESSED APPROX. 3/4 TRAVEL (MUCH FURTHER THAN NORMAL) BEFORE BRAKING ACTION FELT. I STOPPED VEHICLE, RECYCLED POWER AND WARNING LIGHTS REMAINED ILLUMINATED AND BRAKE RESPONSIVENESS WAS UNCHANGED. UPON REACHING DESTINATION, I DOWNLOADED ERROR CODE (C1391) THEN CALLED LOCAL TOYOTA SERVICE CENTER. INFORMED THAT ENHANCED WARRANTY LETTER ZJB ADDRESSED THIS ISSUE, HOWEVER COVERAGE EXPIRED 6 WEEKS AGO. SERVICE CENTER DIRECTED ME TO TOYOTA CUSTOMER CARE. TOYOTA CUSTOMER CARE CONFIRMED THAT THE REPAIR COVERAGE HAD RECENTLY EXPIRED AND THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE WHATSOEVER. DUE TO THE GLOBAL PANDEMIC, MY DRIVING HAD BEEN SEVERELY CURTAILED SINCE MARCH. NOW JULY, A REQUIRED WORK TRIP LED TO THIS MALFUNCTION. THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE CLASSIFIED AS A RECALL AND NOT A WARRANTY WITH AN EXPIRATION. A MAJOR, FLEE-WIDE BRAKING ISSUE SHOULD REQUIRE THE MANUFACTURER TO REPAIR.

PRIUS HAS LESS THAN 100K MILES AND HAS BEEN RUNNING PERFECTLY. TODAY WHILE DRIVING, THE BRAKE, ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS CAME ON SIMULTANEOUSLY AND BEGAN ALARMING, WHILE SUDDENLY MY BRAKE LOCKED UP. THIS COULD CAUSE ACCIDENT AND INJURY IF IT OCCURRED UNDER THE RIGHT CIRCUMSTANCES. APPARENTLY THERE WAS A PREVIOUS BRAKE BOOSTER RECALL THAT I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF AND WHICH HAS SINCE EXPIRED. THIS RECALL SHOULD BE REISSUED TO INCLUDE THE MANY 2010 PRIUSES AFFECTED BY THIS PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA PRIUS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AT START-UP THE AIR BAGS WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO PARKWAY TOYOTA LOCATED AT 50 SYLVAN AVE, ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, NJ 07632, TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT CLOCKSPRING SPIRAL CABLE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 88,680. *LN CONSUMER STATED PRIUS WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL.*JB

THE BRAKES FAILED ON THE VEHICLE AND I LOST ALL ABILITY TO STOP. SEVERAL DASHBOARD LIGHTS WERE TRIGGERED ABOUT LOSS OF ABS AND BRAKING. I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE ONLY THROUGH THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. THE TOYOTA DEALER INDICATED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS A FAILED BRAKE BOOSTER AND BRAKE BOOSTER PUMP ASSEMBLIES. THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND TPYOTA NEEDS TO RECALL AND REPAIR THIS IISSUE.

TRACTION WARNING LIGHT, BRAKE LIGHT AND ABS LIGHT ALL CAME ON AT SAME TIME WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. I WAS TOLD BY A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP IT IS A MALFUNCTION WITH THE BRAKE BOOSTER WHICH IS ROUGHLY A $3000.00 REPAIR JOB AT TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. CUSTOMER SUPPORT PROGRAM "ZJB" WAS CREATED BY TOYOTA NORTH AMERICA FOR THIS ISSUE IN RESPONSE TO THOUSANDS OF PRIUS MODELS EXPERIENCING THIS SEVERE MALFUNCTION, HOWEVER, MY 2010 PRIUS IS NO LONGER ELIGIBLE FOR COVERAGE FOR THIS REPAIR, EVEN THOUGH OTHER PRIUS MODELS ARE STILL ELIGIBLE FOR COMPLETE COVERAGE FOR THIS REPAIR. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND TOYOTA NORTH AMERICA NEEDS TO STAND BY COVERAGE FOR THIS GRAVE MALFUNCTION FOR ALL MODELS REGARDLESS OF YEAR OR MILEAGE. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THE CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE, THE BRAKES ARE NOT OPERATING AT FULL CAPACITY. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND HAPPENED WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. *TR

MY ABS SYSTEM STARTED SHOWING SIGNS OF PROBLEMS, AND I STARTED GETTING CODES FOR ALL SORTS OF BRAKE-RELATED ISSUES. MY BRAKES ENDED UP LOCKING UP AND NOT WORKING, AND MY BATTERY IN MY CAR DIED BECAUSE IT WAS THE BRAKE SYSTEM WAS NOT ABLE TO RECHARGE MY BATTERY. EVEN THOUGH I STARTED HAVING ISSUES WITH IT IN FEBRUARY, APPARENTLY TOYOTA SAID THAT BECAUSE I HAD A 2010 PRIUS, THAT SINCE NOVEMBER 31, 2019 HAD PASSED, THE RECALL/EXTENDED WARRANTY "RAN OUT" ON IT. EVEN THOUGH THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT OBVIOUSLY WASN'T FIXED IN THE FIRST PLACE. SO WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET A DIAGNOSTICS RAN ON IT, THEY SAID THAT THEY NEEDED $3,200 TO FIX THE VEHICLE. THIS INCLUDED BOTH THE PURCHASING AND INSTALLATION OF A NEW BRAKE BOOSTER/MASTER CYLINDER ASSEM AND AN ABS PUMP MOTOR ASSEM. I OBVIOUSLY DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY FOR THE REPAIR AND THEY ARE TELLING ME TO GO KICK ROCKS. THIS IS NOT RIGHT AND BECAUSE OF THE BRAKE ISSUE NOT BEING FIXED IN THE FIRST PLACE, IT THEN ALLOWED MY BATTERY (WHICH RUNS AROUND $1,500) TO GET COMPLETELY DRAINED AND PREVENTED IT FROM BEING PROPERLY RECHARGED BY THE BRAKE SYSTEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2010 TOYOTA PRIUS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE HER HUSBAND WAS DRIVING AT 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE IN FRONT SUDDENLY STOPPED, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED HOWEVER IT FAILED TO ENGAGE CAUSING HIM TO REAR END THE OTHER VEHICLE. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT HER HUSBAND WAS ALREADY DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL WHEN THEY COMPLETELY FAILED. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT SEAT PASSENGER IN THE OTHER VEHICLE WAS TRANSPORTED TO THE HOSPITAL BY AMBULANCE DUE TO FEELING NAUSEOUS. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AUTO BODY REPAIR FACILITY WHERE IT WAS AWAITING INSPECTION BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS A POSSIBLE TOTAL LOSS AAS THE RADIATOR AND ENGINE WAS DAMAGED. THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN SERVICED AT CLEARWATER TOYOTA (21799 US HWY 19 N, CLEARWATER, FL 33765 800-667-905) FOR A BRAKE ISSUE. THE DEALER REFUSED TO REPAIR THE BRAKES UNDER AN EXTENDED WARRANTY DUE TO AN INCORRECT CONSISTENT FAILURE CODE. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE SENSOR WAS NOT ALERTING ENOUGH FOR THE REPAIRS TO BE COVERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 200,000.

I BROUGHT MY TOYOTA PRIUS TO TOYOTA DEALER AS ABS ALERT WAS ON AND I LOST CONTROLLING THE BRAKE. TOYOTA DEALER GAVE ME AN ESTIMATE FOR REPAIR AT $2,850.00 ( P1391 ABNORMAL LEAK IN ACCUMULATOR PUMP REC MASTER CYLINDER WITH BRAKE BOOSTER AND BRAKE BOOSTER PIMP ASSEMBLY) DUE WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT EXPIRED 05.09.2020 OR 150,000,MILES. I'VE GOT ABS ALERT IN THE BEGINNING OF MAY'20, HOWEVER, DUE TO COVID-19 STAY-HOME ORDER, I HAD TO STAY HOME AND WON'T ABLE TO BRING MY CAR UNTIL END OF MAY, .2020. I WAS ADVISED BY TOYOTA DEALERSHIP TO CONTACT TOYOTA CUSTOMER RELATION AS THEY MAY CONSIDER TO EXTEND THE WARRANTY, SO I CONTACTED TOYOTA CUSTOMER RELATION( ACTUALLY I WAS TRANSFERRED TO FINANCIAL DEPARTMENT) AND THEY DENIED TO EXTEND THE WARRANTY, AND THEY REPEATED AS " WARRANTY IS WARRANTY" . I WAS VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH TOYOTA'S UNKIND DECISION AND SERVICE UNDER COVID-19 SITUATION. I READ TOYOTA 2010 HAS PROBLEMS OF BRAKE ISSUES, SO I WANT TOYOTA TAKE A RESPONSIBILITY TO FIX MY BRAKE PROBLEM. *TR

LOW BEAM STARTED GETTING DIM, BUT WERE BRAND NEW. THEY BOTH SUDDENLY FAILED ON THE HIGHWAY ALMOST CAUSING A CRASH. I REPLACED BULBS AND THEY WERE DIM AGAIN. I WENT TO BUY THE TOP LINE HEADLIGHTS THINKING THAT WAS THE ISSUE, BUT I DISCOVERED THE PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY WAS CORRODED AND MELTED. ONCE I TURNED THE CAR ON IT BEGAN SMOKING. I CAN'T INSTALL ANY LIGHTS NOW. *TR

BRAKES AND VDC SYSTEM CONSTANTLY ENGAGE DURING U-TURNS, TIGHT TURNING CIRCLES, CAUSING THE CAR TO BRAKE UNEXPECTEDLY. WHILE NOT ACCIDENT HAS HAPPENED, IT HAS CAUSED A FEW NEAR MISSES AS MY WINDOW TO TURN SHRINKS BECAUSE THE CAR IS BRAKING. *TR

VEHICLE SHUTTERED AND WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON WHILE DRIVING ON BUSY ROADWAY. WAS ABLE TO PULL ONTO SIDE STREET AND STOPPED VEHICLE. OUTSIDE TEMPERATURES WERE OVER 100 DEG F AND MY WIFE WAS ALONE WITH THE VEHICLE. ATTACHED MECHANIC ESTIMATE LISTS CODES AND INDICATES THE INVERTER FAILED. WE HAD THE ECU UPDATED IN 2016 TO AVOID THIS FAILURE BUT BELIEVE TOYOTA'S ECU FLASH FAILED TO FIX THE ISSUE.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE ABS WARNING LIGHT, BRAKE LIGHT AND TRACTION LIGHT ALL CAME ON AT ONCE, TOOK TO LOCAL TOYOTA SPECIALIST, DIAGNOSED THE CODE AS C1391, AN ABNORMAL LEAK IN BREAK BOOSTER ACCUMULATOR. MECHANIC INFORMED ME THAT THIS ISSUE WAS PREVIOUSLY UNDER SAFETY RECALL AND MY VEHICLE HAD THE PROPER REPAIRS DONE, CLEARLY THIS IS AN ONGOING SAFETY ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE THAT IS NOT BEING PROPERLY ADDRESSED BY TOYOTA. IT IS ALSO AN EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE REPAIR WHICH TOYOTA NEEDS TO BE FINANCIALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR. *TR

BRAKES FAILED WHILE DRIVING CAR (IN MOTION) WHICH ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. THE RED WARNING "BRAKE" LIGHT, YELLOW "ABS" AND YELLOW TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT ALL ILLUMINATED. THIS APPARENTLY IS A KNOWN ISSUE FOR THE TOYOTA PRIUS AND I HAVE CONTACTED THEM CONCERNING THE ISSUE BUT THEY WILL NOT PAY TO FIX THE PROBLEM. MY CAR CANNOT BE DRIVEN AT THIS POINT. THIS ISSUE IS A SERIOUS HAZARD AND COULD EASILY RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT. THEY NEED TO ISSUE A RECALL. *TR

WARNING LIGHTS FOR ABS, BRAKE AND SYMBOL INDICATING TRACTION CONTROL IS OPERATING ALL LIT SIMULTANEOUSLY WITH A CORRESPONDING CHANGE IN BRAKE PEDAL FEEL. TOYOTA DEALER DIAGNOSED BRAKE BOOSTER FAILURE AND INITIALLY QUOTED $1,915 TO REPAIR THEN CALLED BACK TO REVISE THIS TO $2,915. THERE HAVE BEEN RECALLS ON THIS PART JUST NOT COVERING MY VIN. *TR

CODE C-1391 LEAK IN BRAKE ACCUMULATOR.THESE SHOULD BE A RECALL WITH TOYOTA PUTTING A BAD BRAKE ACCUMULATOR IN PRIUS MODEL.I NOTICE IT WAS A SECONDARY RECALL WITH THIS PART.TOYOTA KNOW THIS IS A SAFETY PROBLEM WHEN THIS HAPPEN THE CAR GOES TO MANUAL BREAKING AND YOU CAN LOSE CONTROL OF THE CAR.PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS PROBLEM. *TR

ON FRIDAY, MAY 15 2020 I TURNED ON MY CAR AND SAW ABS, BRAKE AND VEHICLE TRACTION LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE BRAKE PEDDLE ALSO FELT ODD. WITHIN 30 MINUTES I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER. THE SERVICE WRITER HAD A CLEAR IDEA OF WHAT WAS HAPPENING AS SHE SAID THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING A LOT TO PRIUS MODELS. SURE ENOUGH THE DIAGNOSTIC CODE C1391. I WAS TOLD I NEEDED TO REPLACE THE BRAKE BOOSTER/PUMP ASSEMBLY WHICH WOULD COST ME $3,000! UPON RESEARCH, MY CAR WAS COVERED UNDER A TSB TILL NOVEMBER 30, 2019, BUT ONLY IF THEY FAILED. THERE WAS NO RECALL ISSUED BY TMS TO PRO-ACTIVELY FIX A KNOWN BRAKE DEFICIENCY. MY CAR HAS 159,000 MILES, I HAVE NEVER HAD ANYONE SERVICE MY VEHICLE BESIDES TOYOTA DEALERSHIPS (EXCEPT TIRES). I CALLED TMS TO CORPORATE TO SEE IF I COULD BE OFFERED ASSISTANCE, BUT WAS FLAT OUT DENIED (I CAN PROVIDE THAT CASE NUMBER IF NEEDED).I FIND IT ODD THAT TOYOTA BEGAN PHASE2 ON 2011-2015 FOR SAME ISSUE THAT LASTS TILL APRIL 2021. IT IS UNSETTLING THAT IF TOYOTA KNOWS ABOUT THE BRAKE BOOSTER AND PUMP PROBLEMS, WHY THEY DON'T HAVE A RECALL, BUT RATHER A WAIT AND SEE IF IT FAILS UNDER THEIR 'SECONDARY/ENHANCED WARRANTY'. UPSET THAT IF THIS HAPPENED 5 MONTHS AGO, THIS WOULD HAVE FALLEN UNDER THEIR GUIDELINE TO REPAIR.

I OWN A 2010 TOYOTA PRIUS WITH 97K AND IT IS IMMACULATE. IN MARCH 2019, THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER (AN ELECTRONIC COMPONENT IN THE DASHBOARD CONTAINING THE GAS GAUGE, SPEEDOMETER, AND GEAR POSITION) STOPPED WORKING ENTIRELY ONE DAY UPON STARTING THE CAR. I RESEARCHED THE ISSUE AND IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT A FAULTY CAPACITOR ON THE LOGIC BOARD WITHIN THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER IS THE CULPRIT. TOYOTA CAN REPLACE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER BUT ONLY AT MY COST AND FOR OVER $1000. TOYOTA ISSUED A WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT NOTICE TO EXTEND MANUFACTURER WARRANTY ON THIS INSTRUMENT CLUSTER PROBLEM, BUT IT ONLY APPLIES TO 2004-2009 MODELS. THIS ELECTRONIC ISSUE HAD NOT BEEN ENTIRELY RESOLVED BY TOYOTA IN LATER MODELS AS MANY OTHERS ARE FACED WITH THE SAME ISSUE. AM I MONETARILY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIR OF THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER? DOES NHTSA HAVE ONGOING SUPPORT TO PRIUS OWNERS FOR THIS ISSUE? SHOULD I FILE A SMALL CLAIMS LAWSUIT? *TR

TOYOTA USA FAILED TO HONOR REPAIR DEFECT WITHIN THE BRAKE BOOSTER PUMP ASSEMBLY. WHEN THIS DEFECT OCCURS, VARIOUS WARNING LAMPS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL MADE ILLUMINATE, I EXPERIENCE INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCE, REDUCED HYDRAULIC PRESSURE WITHIN YOUR BRAKE SYSTEM, THE DEACTIVATION OF BRAKE ASSIST, & THE DEACTIVATION OF VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL.TOYOTA PREVIOUSLY ISSUED AT LEAST 2 SAFETY RECALLS. DESIGNED TO PREVENT SIMILAR DANGEROUS OCCURRENCES. HOWEVER, HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF PRIUS MODELS 2010-2015 WERE EXCLUDED FROM THOSE SAFETY RECALLS INCLUDING MY 2010 MODEL. AS OF TODAY TOYOTA USA FILED CASE NUMBER 2005052305. SAFETY RECALL IN TORRANCE CALIFORNIA DATED JUNE 4, 2013 STATED TOYOTA SALES USA WAS CONDUCTING A VOLUNTARY SAFETY RECALL INVOLVING OVER 87,000 MODEL 2010 TOYOTA PRIUS HOWEVER I CALLED TOYOTA TODAY AND THE INSISTED MY VEHICLE WAS EXCLUDED EVEN THOUGH IN BARELY HAS 100,000 MILES WE JUST BEGAN TO EXPERIENCE THESE BRAKE SYMPTOMS. CUSTOMER REP INSISTED IT WAS TOYOTA VOLUNTARY RECALL NOT ENFORCED SO MY VEHICLE DID NOT EVEN QUALIFIED FOR A CUSTOMER SUPPORT SERVICE. PLEASE HELP US HAVE TOYOTA FIX THIS SAFETY ISSUE ASAP BEFORE SOMEONE HAS A MAYOR ACCIDENT. WARNING LIGHTS FOR ABS, STABILITY CONTROL, AND WARNING LIGHTS ALL CAME ON AT ONCE. BRAKES BECAME SPONGY WHEN PRESSED. WAS ABLE TO STILL BRAKE BUT WITH MUCH MORE EFFORT AND NOT CONFIDENT IN THE BRAKING. I HAD IT TOWED TO A LOCAL MECHANIC AND THE DIAGNOSTIC ERROR CODE REGISTERED "C1391". PER MECHANIC THIS IS FOR ABS ACCUMULATOR, OR BOOSTER PUMP FAILURE OR LEAK PER MECHANIC. THIS HAPPENED OUT OF THE BLUE, NO WARNINGS. PER TOYOTA THE PART REQUIRED ARE CYLINDER ASSEMBLY BRAKE AND BRAKE PUMP ASSEMBLY. COST TO REPAIR THESE PARTS PER TOYOTA WOULD BE ESTIMATED AT $2700.. ATTACHED VIDEO OF ACTUATOR'S LOUD NOISE IT PRODUCES & DASHBOARD SHOWING ABS FAILED& BRAKES LIGHTS/ALSO FAILED ATTEMPT TO SOLVE THIS WITH TOYOTA USA. *TR

HEAD GASKET WORN OUT AND LEAKS OIL WHEN UNDER PRESSURE (DRIVING) . *TR

THE PRIUS HAVE BEEN GREAT AND HAVE BEEN SERVICED WITH OIL CHANGES, SPARK PLUGS ETC. IT RUNS LIKE A CHAMP WITH 159K MILES, BUT ALL OF A SUDDEN ONE DAY, THE TRACTION CONTROL, ABS, AND BRAKE LIGHTS ALL CAME ON AT ONCE. THE BRAKE PRESSURE FEELS SOFTER AND THAT WHIRRING NOISE IS HEARD EVERY FEW SECONDS. DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS THE BRAKE ACTUATOR AND WOULD COST 3K TO FIX. APPARENTLY THERE WAS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR IT BUT IT ENDED IN NOVEMBER 2019. ATTEMPTED TO CALL TOYOTA, BUT NO HELP. *TR

I WAS NOTIFIED BY TOYOTA THAT MY VEHICLE HAD TWO RECALLS. ONE OF THESE WAS INVOLVING THE INVERTER PUMP. I VISITED A TOYOTA SERVICE DEALER FEBRUARY 15, 2020 TO HAVE THESE RECALLS TAKEN CARE OF. IN THE BEGINNING OF MAY 2020 I HAD DRIVEN JUST A FEW MILES FROM MY HOUSE WHEN ALL OF MY WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON. ONE OF WHICH SAID "CHECK HYBRID SYSTEM". I SLOWLY DROVE MY CAR TO THE NEAREST TOYOTA SERVICE A FEW DAYS LATER. I HAD NOT DRIVEN MY CAR OTHERWISE AFTER THE LIGHTS CAME ON. I RECEIVED AN UPDATE FROM TOYOTA SAYING MY INVERTER PUMP HAD FAILED AND THAT I NEEDED A POWER MODULE. THEY ESTIMATED A TOTAL CHARGE OF $3,500 WOULD COVER THE COSTS OF FIXING MY CAR. I REALIZED THAT I HAD BEEN AT A TOYOTA SERVICE JUST MONTHS BEFORE TO GET MY RECALL TAKEN CARE OF, FOR THIS EXACT INVERTER PUMP ISSUE. IT WAS CONFUSING TO ME THAT THE PART TOYOTA WAS SUPPOSED TO FIX, WAS ALL OF A SUDDEN BROKEN. DID THEY NOT TAKE CARE OF THIS IN FEBRUARY AS THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO? NOT ONLY WERE THEY TRYING TO CHARGE ME, BUT THEY WERE DENYING THAT THEY HAD TO FIX IT FOR FREE SINCE THE PROBLEM WAS "FIXED" ALREADY BY TOYOTA IN FEBRUARY AND SINCE IT HAS BROKEN AFTERWARDS, THAT IT IS NO LONGER THEIR RESPONSIBILITY TO FIX. IF IT WAS REALLY FIXED IN FEBRUARY HOW COULD IT BE FAILING JUST THREE MONTHS LATER. THEY SEEMED TO BE UNAWARE THAT THERE WAS ACTUALLY AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON MY VEHICLE MODEL FOR THIS ISSUE SPECIFICALLY. I HAD COME ACROSS THIS FACT ONLINE AFTER RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM MYSELF. THEY CALLED ME BACK TO AGREE THAT THERE WAS IN FACT AN EXTENDED WARRANTY AND THAT NOW THEY COULD FIX THE INVERTER. IT IS CONCERNING THAT THEY WOULD NOT ALREADY KNOW THAT THE INVERTER PUMP WAS A RECENT RECALL, AND THAT MY CAR HAD AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. TOYOTA SHOULD BE AWARE OF THEIR OWN RECALLS AND WARRANTIES. I WAS STILL CHARGED OVER $700 TO HAVE MY CAR FIXED. I DO NOT BELIEVE I SHOULD HAVE BEEN CHARGED ANYTHING. *TR

DEFECT WITHIN THE BRAKE BOOSTER PUMP ASSEMBLY. IF THIS DEFECT OCCURS, VARIOUS WARNING LAMPS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL MADE ILLUMINATE, I EXPERIENCE INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCE, REDUCED HYDRAULIC PRESSURE WITHIN YOUR BRAKE SYSTEM, THE DEACTIVATION OF BRAKE ASSIST, AND/OR THE DEACTIVATION OF VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL. TOYOTA HAS PREVIOUSLY ISSUED AT LEAST TWO SAFETY RECALLS ' D0H AND K0L ' DESIGNED TO PREVENT SIMILAR DANGEROUS OCCURRENCES. HOWEVER, HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF GENERATION III PRIUS VEHICLES (2010-2015 MODEL YEARS) WERE EXCLUDED FROM THOSE SAFETY RECALLS.

ABS BREAK PARKING LIGHT COME ON

WHILE DRIVING, WE MADE A LEFT TURN ON A CITY STREET, WARNING LIGHTS FOR ABS, STABILITY CONTROL, AND WARNING LIGHTS ALL CAME ON AT ONCE. BRAKES BECAME SPONGY WHEN PRESSED. WAS ABLE TO STILL BRAKE BUT WITH MUCH MORE EFFORT AND NOT CONFIDENT IN THE BRAKING. I HAD IT TOWED TO A LOCAL MECHANIC AND THE DIAGNOSTIC ERROR CODE REGISTERED "C1391". PER MECHANIC THIS IS FOR ABS ACCULATOR, OR BOOSTER PUMP FAILURE OR LEAK PER MECHANIC. THIS HAPPENED OUT OF THE BLUE, NO WARNINGS. LUCKILY WHILE DRIVING WE WERE DRIVING IN TOWN AND AT A SPEED OF ONLY ABOUT 15-25 MPH AND WE WERE NOT ON THE FREE WAY OR AT HIGH SPEED. PER TOYOTA THE PART REQUIRED ARE CYLINDER ASSEMBLY BRAKE AND BRAKE PUMP ASSEMBLY. COST TO REPAIR THESE PARTS PER TOYOTA WOULD BE ESTIMATED AT $2700. LOCAL DEALERSHIP WOULDN'T DO ANYTHING UNTIL IT REGISTERED THE CODE AGAIN. THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE ADVISOR, SAID UNTIL THE CODE IS TRIGGERED AGAIN THEY WOULDN'T DO ANYTHING. ALSO AFTER THE CODE WAS RESET THE BRAKES WORKED NORMAL AGAIN. THIS IN MY OPINION IS A SAFETY ISSUE! *TR

I WAS DRIVING AT A SPEED AROUND 60 MPH AND HAD TO BREAK SUDDENLY AND THE CAR DID NOT BREAK RIGHT AWAY AND TOOK MORE THAN NORMAL TO SLOW DOWN. I JUST HAD THE INSPECTION A MONTH AGO AND I WAS SAID I HAD PLENTY OF BREAKS LEFT.

I HAVE 'CHECK THE HYBRID SYSTEM 'WINDOW ON DASHBOARD. INDEPENDENT MECHANIC CHECKED AND TOLD ME THAT IT HAS PROBLEMS WITH INVERTER. TOYOTA HAS AND HAD MULTIPLE RECALLS BUT THEY ARE DOING SOME TYPE OF REPROGRAMMING WHICH ISN'T HELPFUL. IT IS EXPENSIVE AND COMMON PROBLEM.

BRAKES FAIL WHEN APPLIED STEADILY WHILE MOVING ON A WET OR BUMPY SURFACE CAUSING THE CAR TO CONTINUE FORWARD UNLESS THE PEDDLE IS PRESSED AGAIN FIRMLY. THIS HAPPENS ON THE CITY STREETS WHILE MOVING IN A STRAIGHT LINE. THIS APPEARS TO BE DUE TO THE KNOWN ABS PROBLEM IN THE 2010 PRIUS AND WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE BEEN CORRECTED BYWAY OF A SOFTWARE PATCH, WHICH I AM TOLD BY CHUCK PATTERSON CHICO TOYOTA HAS ALREADY BEEN DONE AND NO FURTHER EHLP COULD BE EXPECTED FROM TOYOTA.

NOTICED BRAKES PULSING AT VERY SLOW SPEEDS. LOOKED UP SYMPTOMS ONLINE AND DETERMINED IT WAS FROM BRAKE BOOSTER LEAK ISSUE. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP BUT BECAUSE NO CODES SHOWED UP ON DIAGNOSTIC MACHINE, WAS TOLD NOTHING WRONG. (THAT WAS AT 147,000 MILES.) FAST FORWARD 6 MONTHS AND WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON WHILE DRIVING AND BRAKING BECAME VERY SPONGY. TOOK BACK TO DEALERSHIP AND NEEDS BRAKE BOOSTER PUMP AND BRAKE CYLINDER ASSEMBLY REPLACED. NOW HAS 155,000 MILES AND IS 5000 MILES PAST WARRANTY. LONG STORY SHORT IS THAT I WAS ABLE TO DETERMINE AN ISSUE LONG BEFORE THEIR COMPUTER COULD DETECT ANYTHING. BUT BECAUSE I'M NOW PAST WARRANTY, I HAVE TO PAY $2600 FOR REPAIR.

THE CAR I HAVE 3 DASH LIGHTS WE PULL THE CODE THROUGH COMPUTER IT WAS C13 91. THAT MEANS THE CAR HAVE AN ACTUATOR IT'S NOT WORKING SO THE BRAKE SYSTEM IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY AND THE ABS LIGHT TRACTION LIGHT THE BRAKE LIGHT ARE ON ALL THE TIME .

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 60 MPH WHEN THE BRAKE LIGHT, ABS LIGHT AND SLIDE LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE BRAKE ACTUATOR. WHEN I RESEARCHED THIS,I FOUND THAT IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM TOTOYOTA AND THEY DID A VOLUNTARY RECALL. MY QUESTION IS WHY WOULD THERE BE A VOLUNTARY RECALL ON A PART THAT IS VITAL TO THE SAFETY OF THE CAR AND HAS A KNOWN DEFECT? BECAUSE IT WAS A VOLUNTARY RECALL THEY COULD ARBITRARILY SELECT A CUT OFF (150,000 MILES) INSTEAD OF ENSURING THE CAR WAS SAFE. THIS IS ONLY FOR 2010 PRIUS.

EXSESIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. NEED TO ADD OIL ( 2 QUARTS OR MORE) BETWEEN OIL CHANGES

MY BRAKES HAVE FAILED DUE TO A FAULTY BRAKE ACCUMULATOR AND BRAKE BOOSTER ON MY 2010 TOYOTA PRIUS. I NOTICED THIS PROBLEM WHEN ATTEMPTING TO COME TO A STOP AT A REDLIGHT. THE BRAKES FELT SPONGY AND UNRESPONSIVE. I NARROWLY MISSED COLLIDING WITH THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME BY SWERVING ONTO THE SHOULDER. TOYOTA PREVIOUSLY ACKNOWLEDGED THIS FAULTY PART BUT CLAIMS THAT I MISSED THE DEADLINE BY 35 DAYS TO GET IT FIXED. THE REPAIR COSTS ROUGHLY $4,000 WHICH TOYOTA HAS REFUSE DO TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR. I CANNOT AFFORD TO FIX THIS AND BELIEVE THAT IT IS IRRESPONSIBLE FOR TOYOTA TO PUT THEIR PROFITS ABOVE THE SAFETY OF ITS' CUSTOMERS. I DO NO THIS BELIEVE THAT IT IS ETHICAL TO PUT A DEADLINE ON A SAFETY CONCERN OF THIS NATURE.

THE CONTACT BECAME AWARE OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 13V235000 (SERVICE BRAKES). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A BUYBACK OFFER FROM GREEN TREE TOYOTA BUT DECLINED THE OFFER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 93,000.

I BOUGHT THIS CAR AROUND MID YEAR OF 2019, AND WHEN I FIRST USED IT IN THE HIGHWAY COMING BACK FROM WORK, THERE WAS TRAFFIC AND I NOTICED THE BREAKS NOT RESPONDING WELL. THIS HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES SINCE I BOUGHT IT, IN THE STREETS AS WELL. THERE'S ALSO A ORANGE LIGHT SAYING THAT IT NEEDS MAINTENANCE. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR ABOUT 3 TIMES TO THE PERSON THAT SOLD IT TO ME BECAUSE HE HAS A CAR SHOP AND IT STILL DOES THE SAME THING.

AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOYED AT THE TIME OF ACCIDENT. DAMAGED/RIP APART FRONT BUMPER...CAR IS TOTAL LOSS AS PER INSURANCE ADJUSTER. OTHER COLLIDED HONDA CR-V HAD ALL ITS AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. NONE ON MY PRIUS. ACCIDENT HAPPENED AT MAJOR INTERSECTION ,WHEN GREEN LIGHT TURNED ON I PADDLE MY CAR , OTHER CAR HONDA CR-V CAME AT A SPEED TO MAKE LEFT TURNED AND HIT MY FRONT BUMPER.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE THE HYBRID SYSTEM FAILED AS PER NOTIFICATION ON THE DASHBOARD. THE CAR WAS OPERABLE BUT I WAS NOT ABLE TO DRIVE ABOVE 40 MILES PER HOUR. I WAS TOLD BY THE CERTIFIED TOYOTA DEALER THAT THE INVERTER FAILED AND THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO PROVIDE A REASON WHY IT FAILED. THERE WAS A PREVIOUS RECALL ON THE INVERTER IN 2014 TO FIX A SOFTWARE ISSUE WHICH WAS REPAIRED. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THIS RECENT INCIDENT WAS UNRELATED.

WHILE DRIVING BACK FROM RUNNING ERRANDS MY CAR'S LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD STARTED TO COME ON AND NOISES STARTED TO START HAPPENING. I WAS LUCKY I WAS ONLY A FEW STREETS AWAY FROM MY HOUSE SO I DECIDED TO DRIVE BACK HOME. THE BREAK WAS REALLY HARD TO PRESS. THE BRAKE FELT LIKE IT WAS A ROCK AND HARD TO PRESS. I DROVE WITH MY HAZARDS ON UNSURE OF WHAT COULD HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING. THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG AND THE CAR STARTED TO BEEP AND I WAS WORRIED THE CAR MIGHT FAIL TO BRAKE SO I STARTED TO DRIVE VERY SLOWLY. THE BRAKES WERE SO HARD TO PRESS. I TOOK MY CAR TO TOYOTA THE NEXT DAY AND THEY SAID THERE WAS A DEFECT WITH MY BRAKES. THEY HAD THE VEHICLE FOR A FEW DAYS AND RETURNED TO ME SAYING IT WAS FIXED. NEEDLESS TO SAY THIS WAS A VERY SCARY SITUATION TO BE IN. I DRIVE A LOT. IF I HAD BEEN FURTHER AWAY FROM MY HOME THIS WOULD HAVE PUT ME IN A VERY DANGEROUS POSITION. I COULD'VE BEEN STRANDED OR DROVE ON THE FREEWAY IN THIS CONDITION UNSURE OF WHAT WAS HAPPENING. MY CAR COULD'VE STOPPED BRAKING, I COULD'VE GOTTEN INTO A BIG ACCIDENT AND INJURED OTHER DRIVERS AROUND ME. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE RECALLED NOW AND SAVE OTHER DRIVERS! IN CALIFORNIA PEOPLE DRIVE UP TO 80 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY-IF WE ARE BEHIND A CAR AND THE BRAKES MALFUNCTION YOU CAN IMAGINE WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO THE DRIVER AND ANYONE INVOLVED! WHEN I HEARD TOYOTA WAS NOT RECALLING THIS ON ALL PRIUS'S THAT MIGHT BE AFFECTED IT REALLY SCARED ME. THIS IS UNSAFE.

WELL-MAINTAINED, DEALER-SERVICED VEHICLE SPUTTERED AND STALLED WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT HIGHWAY SPEED. WAS FORTUNATELY ABLE TO COAST TO A STOP ON THE SHOULDER, BUT VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESTART. DEALERSHIP IDENTIFIED THE PROBLEM AS A FUEL PUMP FAILURE, WHICH OCCURRED WITH NO WARNING.

HAZARD LIGHTS FLASHING WHEN DRIVING FORWARD OR REVERSE DEPENDENT ON THE SPEED OF WHEEL ROTATION. I AM TOLD THAT MY SKID CONTROL ECU AS WELL AS THE BRAKE BOOSTER AND PUMP ARE BAD AND NEED REPLACING. I KEEP READING ABOUT THIS ISSUE, BUT TOYOTA SAYS IT IS NOT A BROAD ISSUE. IT IS NOT CLEAR WHAT SYSTEMS HAVE FAILED OR WHAT RISK THERE IS IN DRIVING.

WHEN THE VEHICLE PASSED 100K MILES, IT START CONSUMING OIL EXCESSIVELY. NOW IT NEEDS A QUART EVERY 200 MILES. I FOUND OUT FROM THE NET THAT THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM THAT TOYOTA HAS NOT RESOLVED

AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY IN CAR CRASH: MY 2010 PRIUS WAS STUCK BY ANOTHER CAR WHO RAN A RED LIGHT, IN THE FRONT RIGHT (PASSENGER SIDE). THE CAR THAT STRUCK ME WAS TRAVELING APPROX 35MPH AND PUSHED MY CAR (ALSO TRAVELING APPROX. 35MPH) INTO THE PATH OF A WOODEN TELEPHONE POLE THAT SUSPENDED THE TRAFFIC LIGHTS OVER THE INTERSECTION. MY CAR TRAVELED ABOUT 20-30 FEET FURTHER AND STOPPED WHEN MY CAR HIT THE POLE HEAD ON. THE TELEPHONE POLE BROKE IN TWO IN THE IMPACT. NONE OF MY AIR-BAGS DEPLOYED. THE POLICE REPORT IS INCORRECT REGARDING THE AIRBAGS. I HAVE CONTACTED THE POLICE DEPARTMENT TO AMEND THE REPORT. AS SEEN IN THE ACCOMPANYING PHOTOGRAPHS, THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY, CONTRARY TO THE POLICE REPORT.

THE NIGHT BEFORE, EVERYTHING WAS WORKING FINE. THE NEXT DAY, I START MY CAR UP AT 4PM-5PM, FIRST TIME I STARTED MY CAR AND I HAVE NEW LIGHTS ON MY DASHBOARD. THE EBRAKE LIGHT, ABS LIGHT, BRAKE SYSTEM LIGHT, AND TRACTION LIGHT. I RELEASE MY EBRAKE AND THE EBRAKE LIGHT IS STILL ON. CONCERED I CHECKED THE BREAK FLUID AND THE 12V BATTERY AND THOSE WERE FINE. DROVE THE CAR AROUND THE BLOCK TO SEE IF THERE WAS AN ISSUE OR IF THE LIGHTS WERE JUST ON. THE BRAKES WERE ALMOST COMPLETELY OUT THE VEHICLE WOULD ONLY STOP WHEN I PUT MY FOOT TO THE FLOOR. I END UP TAKING THE VEHICLE TO MY LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP WERE AFTER FOUR HOURS OF LOOKING AROUND, INFORMED ME THAT IT WAS THE BRAKE ACTUATOR AND THE BOOSTER PUMP. WHICH ALSO CAME WITH A BILL OF $3000 TO FIX IT.

FIRST THE DRIVER'S SIDE LOW BEAM FAILED, FOLLOWED BY THE PASSENGER LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT DAYS LATER. AFTER REPLACING BOTH LIGHTS, THE DRIVER'S SIDE LOW BEAM FAILED FOLLOWED BY THE PASSENGER'S LOW BEAM.

AS I WAS DRIVING 55-65 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY, THE CHECK HYBRID SYSTEM ALERT CAME ON, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN I LOST POWER. I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT HOME BUT GOING UP HILL IT WOULD NOT GO FASTER THAN 35 MPH, AND 40-50 MPH ON FLAT GROUND. THIS HAPPENED ON A BUSY HIGHWAY WHERE THE AVERAGE SPEED IS 55-65 MPH

MY 2010 TOYOTA PRIUS WAS IMPECCABLY MAINTAINED BY DESERT TOYOTA OF TUCSON, ALL SERVICE RECORDS KEPT. OIL WAS CHANGED EVERY 5,000 MILES RATHER THAN THE DEALER-RECOMMENDED 10,000. THIS WAS MY 4TH TOYOTA AND I EXPECTED IT, LIKE MY OTHER TOYOTAS, TO HAVE NO SIGNIFICANT PROBLEMS FOR YEARS. BUT SUDDENLY IN 2017, WHEN THE ENGINE TURNED OVER 107,000 MILES (THUS MAKING IT OUT OF WARRANTY), I HAPPENED TO CHECK THE OIL (SEVERAL THOUSAND MILES BEFORE THE NEXT SERVICE WAS DUE) AND FOUND IT NEAR THE BOTTOM OF THE DIPSTICK. IT WAS FORTUNATE THAT I CHECKED IT BECAUSE I WAS ABLE TO ADD OIL AND SAVE THE ENGINE. THE CAR PERFORMED AS BEFORE, BUT CONTINUED TO BURN ABOUT A QUART OF MOTOR OIL EVERY 1000 TO 1500 MILES. THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE OF EITHER SMOKE FROM THE EXHAUST, OR OIL STAINS UNDERNEATH THE CAR. MY SERVICE PERSON AT DESERT MERELY SHRUGGED AND SAID THIS KIND OF THING HAPPENED OCCASIONALLY, OFFERED NO REMEDY OR CONTACT WITH THE TOYOTA REP. I BEGAN TO SEARCH THE INTERNET, FINDING THAT THERE HAVE BEEN THOUSANDS OF 2010 TOYOTA PRIUSES WITH THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE KEPT THE CAR ON THE ROAD BUT AM AWAITING A REIMBURSED REMEDY FROM TOYOTA, POSSIBLY THROUGH A CLASS ACTION SUIT. THIS OIL LEAKAGE POSES INCALCULABLE SAFETY RISKS TO THE ENVIRONMENT IN POLLUTION AND UNPREDICTABLE OCCURRENCES. TOYOTA OWNERS DO NOT EXPECT A $5000 ENGINE REPAIR ON A $25,000 CAR WITHIN 7 YEARS OF PURCHASE, NOR SHOULD THEY BE RESPONSIBLE FOR A TOYOTA DEFECT WHICH CONVENIENTLY OCCURS WHEN THE CAR IS JUST OUT OF ENGJINE WARRANTY.

THE BEST I CAN GET IS 40 MPG WITH MOSTLY CITY DRIVING. WHICH IS SO MUCH WORSE THAN THEIR CLAIMED 55+ MPG. ANYONE HAS THE SAME COMPLAIN ?

TOYOTA PRIUS LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS SUDDENLY GO OUT DUE TO KNOWN ISSUE WITH WIRE HARNESS. NO RECALL ISSUED AND OWNER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR COST OF REPAIR

VEHICLE ACTUATOR BRAKE PUMP ASSEMBLY MAKING SQUEAKING BARKING NOISES WHEN THE BRAKE IS PRESSED DOWN AND HELD DOWN THE BRAKE PUMPS BACK AT ME. I TOOK TO TOYOTA THEY CHARGED ME FOR RUNNING CODES AND TWO BRAKE BLEEDS. AGKNOWLEDGED THAT IT'S THE BREAK ACTUATOR PUMP ASSEMBLY THAT IS A EXTENDED WARRENTY BUT WILL NOT FIX AND CHARGED ME BECAUSE THE WARNING LIGHT SYSTEM IS NOT COMING ON. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL NOT AN EXTENDED WARRENTY. MY BRAKES BARK AND PUSH BACK EVERY TIME I BRAKE. THIS DOESN'T SEEM SAFE TO DRIVE ON THE FREEWAY AND NOT GOOD IF AN ACCIDENT INCURS BECAUSE I HAD TO WAIT UNTIL MY BRAKES DIDN'T WORK. PLEASE MAKE A RECALL AND NOT JUST AN EXTENDED WARRENTY.

MY 2010 TOYOTA PRIUS SLIDES WHILE BREAKING WHEN I DRIVE OVER A BUMP OR A WHOLE THE CAR SLIDES WHILE IN MOTION ON CITY STREETS OR HIGHWAYS. THESE OCCURRENCES HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT OR TURNING. THIS OCCURS ALL THE TIME WHEN THE ROADS ARE DRY AND IT IS WORST WHEN IT IS WET OUTSIDE, ICE, RAIN SLEET OR SNOW.

BRAKE/ABS AND STABILITY SYSTEM FAILURE. POSSIBLE ACTUATOR OR ACCUMULATOR. TOUOTA KNOWS THERE IS A FAULT AND HIDES BEHIND A SOFTWARE UPDATE. SYSTEM FAILS AND CAUSES UNRELIABLE BRAKING WITH INCREASED FORCE TO APPLY THE BRAKES. BRAKES APPLY SO HARD AT TIMES THE REAR PASSENGERS HEADS HIT THE REAR SEAT.

WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHER SPEEDS THAN 40 MPH, MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, AND CHECK MY HYBRID SYSTEM LIGHT IS TURNED ON. WHEN IT TURNED ON, I WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE, HOWEVER I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER, AND RESTART MY CAR. I HAVE RECENTLY COME IN TO GET A SOFTWARE UPDATE FOR THE FACTORY RECALL RELATED TO THE ISSUE. HOWEVER MY INVERTER HAS BEEN DAMAGED AS WELL. ON THIS WEBSITE IT STATES IF MY INVERTER IS DAMAGED RELATED TO THE RECALL, IT WILL BE REPAIRED FREE OF CHARGE. HOWEVER THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP CHARGED ME FOR DIAGNOSTIC, AND REQUESTED PAYMENT FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF MY INVERTER. I ALSO HAVE GIVEN TOYOTA A CALL AS WELL, THEY HAVE STATED THAT THE RECALL ONLY WILL CONSIST OF A SOFTWARE UPDATE. I WAS UNABLE TO GET ANYONE FROM TOYOTA TO HELP ME WITH MY REPAIR OF MY INVERTER THUS FAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2010 TOYOTA PRIUS. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE FRONT WHEELS SHOOK AND THE CONTACT LOST CONTROL OF THE STEERING WHEEL. THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO ANTHER VEHICLE, WHICH THEN CAUSED THE OTHER VEHICLE TO CRASH HEAD ON INTO A MEDIAN. THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS DEEMED TOTALED AND WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S HOME, AWAITING AN INVESTIGATION. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V684000 (HYBRID PROPULSION SYSTEM). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 120,000.

I WAS MAKING A LEFT TURN, CREEPING INTO A PARKING SPACE, IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA. WHEN I PRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL TO STOP THE CAR, THE CAR ACCELERATED INSTEAD. I THEN SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES AND THE CAR ACCELERATED AGAIN, CAUSING ME TO GO OVER THE CURB, OVER THE SIDEWALK AND KNOCK DOWN A FENCE AND SHED. I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF, SOME KIND BYSTANDERS TOOK THE DEBRIS OFF THE CAR SO THAT I COULD GET OUT. I THEN CALLED POLICE AND THE PROPERTY OWNER, AS WELL AS MY INSURANCE COMPANY. I AM HONESTLY SCARED TO DRIVE THE CAR AGAIN, AS I DO NOT WANT THIS UNINTENDED ACCELERATION TO HAPPEN AGAIN. I WILL BE NOTIFYING TOYOTA, AND THE REPAIR SHOP WORKING ON MY CAR HAS ALREADY BEEN INFORMED.

AS I WAS DRIVING ON A ROAD, ABOUT 25 MPH, WHILE MY FOOT WAS ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL THE CAR JUST DECREASED IT'S SPEED TO A STOP AS I CONTINUALLY PUSHED MY FOOT ON THE PEDAL.

I TOOK MY 2010 TOYOTA PRIUS TO DEALER SHIP FOR A SOFTWARE UPDATE, AND NOW THE HYBRID SYSTEM KEPT HAVING PROBLEM, ONCE I DISCONNECT THE 12V BATTERY, THE CAR WILL DO FINE FOR LIKE A WEEK, THEN THE HYBRID SYSTEM WILL SHUT DOWN, IT DIDN'T HAPPEN BEFORE THE SOFTWARE UPDATE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA PRIUS. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE 'CHECK HYBRID SYSTEM' WARNING INDICATOR DISPLAYED AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. MOMENTS LATER, THE VEHICLE RESTARTED, BUT THE WARNING INDICATOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. FRED ANDERSON TOYOTA (9101 GLENWOOD AVE, RALIEGH, NC) WAS NOTIFIED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 207,000.

BRAKE FAILURE AND CAR WENT UP CURB, KNOCKED DOWN STAIR RAIL, HIT TREE AND TURNED OVER ON SIDE

BRAKES WENT COMPLETELY OUT AND EMERGENCY NOISE WAS BEEPING LOUDLY IN CAR. TALK TO MECHANIC AND HE SAID BRAKE ACTUATOR IS BAD AND THERE WAS A RECALL BUT TOYOTA WON'T ACKNOWLEDGE AND REPAIR

WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION IT STALLS IN THE ROAD/HIGHWAY AND DOES NOT ACCELERATE. WHEN TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY DIAGNOSE ERROR P08A0 ERROR CODE: REPLACE HYBRID BATTERY PACK.

'TAKATA RECALL' AS I WAS MERGING ON THE HIGHWAY THIS MORNING I GOT THE BIG WARNING LIGHT ON MY DASH AND THE ENGINE LIGHT ALONG WITH A MESSAGE ON MY SCREEN SAYING CHECK HYBRID SYSTEM. EVER SINCE MY HYBRID SYSTEM SHUT DOWN AND NEVER CAME BACK ON.

EVEN THOUGH THE BREAKS SEEM FINE, THE ELECTRIC BREAK SYSTEM DOES WORK AT ALL. ALL LIGHTS ARE ON AND THE BREAKS PEDALS FEELS LOOSE. WHEN I PUSH THE BREAKS THE VEHICLE KEEPS GOING. THE ABS WARNING LIGHT IS ON AS WELL AS ALL THE OTHER LIGHTS REGARDING TO BREAKS AND STABILITY MECHANISMS.

EVEN THOUGH THE BREAK PADS ARE NEW, THE BREAKS ARE NOT WORKING AT ALL WHEN VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. THEY DO NOT FEEL TIGHT. THE VEHICLE LOOSES STABILITY IN CURVES AT A LOW SPEED ( SLIPS) AND KEEPS MOVING EVEN WHEN BREAKS ARE PUSHED TO THE END. ALL THE BREAK LIGHTS ARE ON. THERE ARE SEVERAL RECALLS REGARDING THE BREAKS OF THIS VEHICLE YEAR 2010 AND NONE APPLIES TO THE VEHICLE VIN NUMBER. IT IT NOT RELIABLE AT ALL IN THE HIGHWAY. IN ORDER TO BRAKE THE SPEED MUST BE VERY SLOW AND THE DISTANCE MUST BE WAY MORE THAN NORMAL

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA PRIUS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED BUT FAILED TO OPERATE. THE VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE REAR OF ANOTHER VEHICLE. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES SUSTAINED. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN FROM THE CRASH SITE TO THE RESIDENCE. SUNNYSIDE TOYOTA LOCATED AT 27000 LORAIN RD, NORTH OLMSTED, OH 44070, (440) 777-9911, WAS CONTACTED AND AN APPOINTMENT WAS SCHEDULED TO HAVE THE VEHICLE DIAGNOSED WHICH WAS STILL PENDING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS INTERMITTENT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED OR NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 93,000.

ALL BRAKE, ABS, AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS CAME ON. CHECKED ABS CODE AND RECEIVED C1391. MECHANIC CAN HERE THE ACTUATOR CONTINUOUSLY RUNNING AND BELIEVE THE PUMP/ACTUATOR IS BAD. I HAVE SEEN THIS RECALLED ON 2010 MADE BETWEEN MARCH 2009, AND OCTOBER 2009. MY MANUFACTURE DATE IS SEPT 2010. VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION WHEN THE LIGHTS CAME ON. THE CAR BECAME HARD TO STOP AND REGENERATIVE BRAKING IS NO LONGER WORKING.

CAR WORKED FLAWLESSLY AND WE MAINTAINED IT REGULARLY. TOOK IT IN TO ADDRESS RECALL OF JOV UPDATE PWR MGMT ECU AT DEALER. DEALER COMPLETED RECALL WORK. 2 DAYS LATER ENGINE LITE CHECK HYBRID SYSTEM AND THE ! ON AND TRIANGLE ON. THE CAR CONTINUED RUN BUT NOW WAS STUDDERING WHEN WAS NOT BEFORE THE RECALL WORK. TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND HE SAID WE NEED A NEW HYBRID BATTERY. WE BELIEVE THE SOFTWARE UPDATE THEY DID CREATED A THIS ISSUE. DEALER ACTING IGNORANT AND SAYING IT NEEDS NEW BATTERY BECAUSE OF NUMBER OF MILES ON CAR. ASKED FOR DIAGNOSTIC PRINT OUT FROM WHEN THEY DID RECALL WORK TO THEY NEW DIAGNOSIS AND THEY WOULD NOT PROVIDE. WE BELIEVE THE RECALL UPDATE CREATED A TECHNICAL PROBLEM WITH OUR HYBRID BATTERY. WE ALSO BELIEVE THAT DEALER NOT BEING HONEST REGARDING ISSUES WITH THIS RECALL UPDATE AND IS USING IT AS AN OPPORTUNITY TO REDUCE LIABILITY FOR TOYOTA ON FAILED RECALL WORK AND TO USE IT AS AN OPPORTUNITY TO BRING IN LARGE TICKET SALES REPAIR IE THEY QUOTED US A NEW HYBRID BATTERY FOR 5,500.

LOUD SCREECHING NOISE AND VIBRATION AT BRAKE PEDAL. ABS BRAKE AND TRACTION LIGHTS ALL LIT UP ALONG WITH BEEPING. HAS HAPPENED SPORADICALLY OVER LAST 2 YEARS. HAVE OWENS CAR 5 YES. APPROX 120,000 MILES. WHEN THE BRAKE NOISE AND ALL LIGHTS APPEAR ON DASH VERY LOW BRAKING ABILITY. HAPPENS WHEN DRIVING OR STARING CAR. ON 6/6 LIGHTS AND BRAKING FAILED AND DO NOT TURN OFF. TOOK TO SERVICE AT TOYOTA DEALER & TECH SAYS $3000 PLUS FOR REPAIRS. POSSIBLE LEAK IN ABS PUMP??

WITHOUT WARNING, TOTAL FAILURE OF POWER ASSIST TO BRAKES. NUMEROUS DASH WARNING LIGHTS AND LOUD BUZZER SOUNDS. REQUIRES EXTREME BRAKE PEDAL FORCE TO STOP THE CAR. EXTREMELY UNNERVING AND DANGEROUS SITUATION.

STARTED CAR ONE MORNING, IMMEDIATELY NOTICED THE 'ABS', 'BRAKE', AND 'TRACTION CONTROL' WARNING LIGHTS WERE ON SIMULTANEOUSLY. TOOK THE CAR FOR A DRIVE AROUND THE CORNER, AND IMMEDIATELY NOTICED BRAKES WERE VERY SOFT AND UNRESPONSIVE. PEDAL LITERALLY SINKS TO THE FLOOR WHILE AIR CAN BE HEARD LEAKING FROM THE SYSTEM/PEDAL. . ALSO NOTICED THE BRAKES NO LONGER RECHARGE THE SYSTEM, AND THEY ALSO FEEL JERKY AT TIMES. I CHECKED THE BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR, AND NOTICED FLUID WAS HALFWAY BETWEEN MAX AND LOW. PERHAPS A LEAK SOMEWHERE IN THE SYSTEM? I CONTACTED MY LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER AND WILL HAVE THEM TAKE A LOOK AT IT ON 05/10/2019 ACCORDING TO SOME RESEARCH I CONDUCTED, THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE IN THE 2010/2011 MODELS. SUPPOSEDLY, OVER TIME, VIBRATIONS CAN ACTUALLY CRACK THE LINE(S) FEEDING INTO THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER, AND THUS RESULTING IN THIS FAULT. TOYOTA SHOULD DEFINITELY BE MORE COMMUNICATIVE ABOUT THESE ISSUES. I HAVE OWNED THIS CAR FOR 4 YEARS, AND HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS BEFORE. CURRENTLY NOT DRIVING THE CAR AT THE MOMENT, AS I DO NOT FEEL SAFE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA PRIUS. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE "HYPER" SYSTEM FAILURE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO TOYOTA OF SEATTLE (1925 AIRPORT WAY S, SEATTLE, WA 98134, (206) 382-4300) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE EGR VALVE AND INTAKE MANIFOLD NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE FUEL PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE FUEL PUMP WAS REPAIRED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 180,000.

DRIVING WITH CRUSE CONTROL SET AT 72 MPH, DRIVING ON 4 LANE INTERSTATE. MASTER WARNING LIGHT CAME ON ALONG WITH THE FOLLOWING WARNINGS "CHECK HYBRID SYSTEM" & "CHECK PCS SYSTEM", ALL DASH LIGHTS LIT UP. ENGINE STALLED UNEXPECTEDLY AND RESULTED IN NO POWER WHEN PUSHING GAS PEDAL. STEERING WAS NOT COMPROMISED. WAS ABLE TO CROSS 3 LANES ON THE INTERSTATE TO THE SHOULDER WITH NO POWER AND THE CAR DECELERATING RAPIDLY, AGAIN WITH NO PRIOR WARNING OF ANY ISSUES. TURNED CAR OFF AND RESTARTED, WAS ABLE TO DRIVE APPROX. 25 FEET BEFORE THE ENGINE SHUT OFF UNEXPECTEDLY AGAIN LEADING TO A COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER. BREAKING AND STEERING WERE AFFECTED AFTER RESTARTING THE CAR.

THE ABS/BRAKE LIGHT/ SLIP INIDICATOR WARNING TRIANGLE ON & OFF. MY 2010 TOYOTA PRIUS II HAS 153K MILE. THIS HAS GONE ON/OFF FOR A FEW WEEKS NOW. THE BRAKE SEEMS TO LOOSE THE HYDRAULIC POWER BRAKE. I FEEL LIKE THE BRAKES HAVE FAILED A FEW TIMES WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHER SPEEDS. I HAVE TO PUMP BRAKE AND VEHICLE BEGINS TO BRAKE ON 2ND PUMP. I'VE HAD TO TRIPLE MY STOPPING DISTANCE AS TO NOT REAR ANYONE. I WENT TO AUTOSHOP, THEY SAID IT'S THE BRAKE ACTUATOR/SENSORS THAT NEED TO BE REPLACED AND IT'S EXPENSIVE $2-3K. THEY SAID IT NEED TO BE FIX SOON BECAUSE BRAKE MIGHT FAIL AT ANY TIME. I CALLED CAMELBACK TOYOTA, PHOENIX, AZ, ED IN SERVICE DEPT SAID THERE IS NO SAFETY RECALL FOR THIS EVEN THOUGH THEY KNOW IT HAS BEEN A COMMON PROBLEM WITH PRIUSES . I CHECKED VEHICLE REPAIR HISTORY LOOKS LIKE ABS PROGRAMMING WAS FLASHED BACK IN 2/11/2010, WHEN VEHICLE WAS STILL ON THE MANUFACTURER, 3 MILES. I HAVE NOT FIXED YET. PLEASE RESEARCH THIS ISSUE FURTHER FOR SAFETY REASONS. I DO NOT WANT TO KILL ANYONE WHEN BRAKES WILL EVENTUALLY FAIL.

MY BRAKES HAS ALWAYS HAD A WEAK FEEL AND IT WOULD LOSE STOPPING POWER WHEN BRAKING ON A BUMPY ROAD. ITS ALMOST LIKE, THE BRAKES RELEASES WHEN YOU HIT A BUMP. THERE ARE CURRENTLY TWO RECALLS FOR THE 2010 PRIUS BUT FOR SOME REASON, MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT INCLUDED IN IT. IS THERE ANY WAY WE CAN GET THE DEALER TO PERFORM THE RECALL? ITS JUST A SOFTWARE COMPUTER UPDATE, BUT I HAVE A FEELING THEY WILL NOT DO IT SINCE MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. EVEN THOUGH I EXPERIENCE THE SYMPTOMS OF THE 2 BRAKE RECALLS FOR THE 2010 PRIUS. THANK YOU.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA PRIUS. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND COULD NOT BE RESTARTED. IN ADDITION, THE CHECK HYBRID SYSTEM WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO TOYOTA OF REDLANDS (LOCATED AT 921 NEW YORK ST, REDLANDS, CA 92374, (909) 793-0300) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE WAS INOPERABLE, WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO STALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V684000 (HYBRID PROPULSION SYSTEM) ON FEBRUARY 27, 2019; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE OCCURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 200,000.

JUST HAD RECALL WORK COMPLETED INCLUDING SOFTWARE UPDATE. CAR NOW EXHIBITS NEW LIMP MODE BEHAVIOR WITH LOW FUEL. THIS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE THE SOFTWARE UPDATE. TRIP METER INDICATED MORE THAN 50 MILES REMAINED WITH CURRENT FUEL SUPPLY. FUEL LEVEL WAS AS TWO BARS AND LOW FUEL LIGHT HAD NOT YET COME ON. LIMP MODE OCCURRED AT SPEED ON 4 LANE FREEWAY. VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESTART AND DASH MESSAGING INDICATED HYBRID SYSTEM FAILURE. HAD VEHICLE TOWED ONLY TO REALIZE IT WAS ALL HAPPENING DUE TO A LOW FUEL LEVEL. I BELIEVE THE SAFETY RECALL SOFTWARE UPDATE HAS INTRODUCED AGREATER RISK TO MY ROADSIDE SAFETY AND HAS MADE THE VEHICLE LESS TRUSTWORTHY AND HAS REDUCED VALUE.

I PURCHASED A 2010 TOYOTA PRIUS, WITHIN A MONTH I HAD TO REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP SENSOR (AFTER IT WENT OUT ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE CAR DIED WHILE DRIVING IT). THEN 6 WEEKS AFTER PURCHASE I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AGAIN AND THE HOOD RIPPED UP COMPLETELY SHATTERING THE WINDSHIELD WHILE DRIVING. I LATER LEARNED BOTH SAFETY'S ON THE HOOD LATCH WERE BROKEN AND MISSING PARTS. IT ALSO HAS AN OIL LEAK THAT WILL COST ME $2,200 TO REPAIR WHEN I ONLY PAID $6,000 FOR THE CAR ON TOP OF MANY OTHER MINOR ISSUES.

WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED AND GOING OVER A ROUGH ROAD SURFACE, OR POTHOLE, THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT APPEARS, AND THE BRAKES SUDDENLY STOP FUNCTIONING UNTIL BACK ON A SMOOTH ROAD SURFACE. THIS HAPPENS ALL OF THE TIME UNDER THESE CONDITIONS. IT IS REALLY SCARY WHEN THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOSES ALL BRAKING WHILE TRYING TO STOP. I HAVE A 2010 TOYOTA PRIUS AND A 2012 TOYOTA PRIUS. THEY BOTH HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE ABS BRAKING SYSTEM. CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHY THIS IS NOT A FULL RECALL ON THIS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS CONDITION.

SUNROOF EXPLODED DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED ON A CLEAR NIGHT

MY CAR GOT STALL ON THE ROAD, IT HAD A PROBLEM RELATED WITH THE HYBRED SYSTEM. I TOOK IT TO THE TOYOTA DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WAS IN A RECALL LIST. SO THEY FIXED BUT THEY DAMAGED THE SUSPENSION OF MY CAR AND NOW THEY DON'T WANT TO FIX IT. MY CAR IS MAKING A NOISE WHEN I MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL AND ALSO WHEN I BRAKE. MY CAR WASN'T MAKING SUCH NOISE BEFORE THE STALL ON THE ROAD. I AM FRUSTRATED WITH ALL THIS PROBLEMS IN MY CAR.

THE CAR WAS MOVING WHEN THE TRACTION LIGHT, ABS LIGHT AND BRAKE LIGHTS ALL CAME ON. THHE BRAKES FELT A LITTLE DIFFERENT THEN. I COULD STILL BRAKE BUT THEY WERE MORE STIFF.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, I HIT THE GAS PEDAL TO ACCELERATE FASTER THROUGH A LIGHT THAT HAD JUST CHANGED FROM GREEN. AS SOON AS I DID THAT MY CAR LOST POWER AND A BUNCH OF EMERGENCY LIGHTS CAME ON, I IMMEDIATELY GOT ON THE SHOULDER. NO ONE WAS BEHIND ME OTHERWISE I WOULD'VE BEEN IN A WRECK. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND ON AGAIN AND THE EMERGENCY LIGHTS WERE STILL THERE. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE UP TO ABOUT 10 MILES AN HOUR A FEW BLOCKS TO A PARKING LOT. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS MY INVERTER THAT OVER HEATED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.

LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS TURN OFF/FAIL. I HAVE REPLACED 7 LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS IN THE PAST YEAR, FOUR IN THE PAST 2 MONTHS. IN THE TWO MOST RECENT CASES BOTH LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS FAILED WITHIN MINUTES OF EACH OTHER WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. I HAD A TOYOTA DEALER CHECK THE WIRING HARNESS PER TOYOTA WARRANTY NOTICE AFTER THE LAST OUTAGE AND THEY STATED NOTHING WAS WRONG. WHEN I HAD THE LIGHTS CHECKED BY A DIFFERENT TOYOTA DEALER IN JAN 2019 THEY INDICATED THE SOCKET FOR THE BULB WAS MELTED. BULBS HAVE GONE OUT UNDER, WET, DRY, HOT, AND COLD CONDITIONS. THE MOST RECENT OUTAGE OCCURRED ON MARCH 8, 2019 WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE..

PREVIOUSLY HAD NO ISSUES WITH LOW-BEAM LIGHTS. USED IN THE MORNING- WORKING FINE. CAME OUT AFTER WORK AND BOTH LOW-BEAM LIGHTS WOULD NOT TURN ON. HIGH-BEAM LIGHTS WORK FINE. CAR WAS STATIONARY AND IN PARK WHEN LIGHTS WERE ATTEMPTED TO TURN ON. TRIED TURNING LIGHT SWITCH AND CAR OFF/ON MULTIPLE TIMES WITHOUT SUCCESS. HAD TO DRIVE HOME IN THE DARK WITH HIGH-BEAM LIGHTS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA PRIUS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKES MADE AN ABNORMAL NOISE AND THE BRAKE PEDAL TRAVELED TO THE FLOORBOARD WHEN DEPRESSED. ALSO, VARIOUS WARNING INDICATORS AND GAUGES REMAINED ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CONTACT HAD TO APPLY FORCE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL DUE TO THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS EXCLUDED FROM NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 13V235000 (SERVICE BRAKES), ALTHOUGH THE VEHICLE EXHIBITED THE SAME FAILURE AS LISTED IN THE RECALL CAMPAIGN. TOYOTA OF HOLLYWOOD (6000 HOLLYWOOD BLVD, LOS ANGELES, CA 90028, (323) 498-2260) WAS NOTIFIED AND DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE ACTUATOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND EXCLUDED THE VEHICLE FROM THE BRAKE SYSTEM RECALL. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 150,000.

TOOK PRIUS IN FOR COIL REPLACEMENT AND WAS TOLD THE COOLING FAN WAS FAILING AND THERE WAS A LEAK FROM THE WATER PUMP. COOLANT LEVEL WAS NOT TO THE LOW POINT AT ANYTIME AND WAS CHECKED AND REFILLED IF NOT FULL, THE TEMP WARNING HAS NOT COME ON. I AM NOW BEING TOLD THAT A HEAD GASKET IS BLOWN AND THAT I NEED A NEW ENGINE. THE CAR IS NOT EVEN AT 200K AND HAS HAD ALL ROUTINE MAINTENCE AND RECALLS COMPLETED.

WHEN YOU TURN HEADLIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD LIGHT GO BLACK CAN'T SEE ANY THINGS O IT

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION LED TO ENGINE FAILURE AND REPLACEMENT COST OF APPROXIMATELY $5000.00 ALSO EXCESSIVE OIL COST TO CONSTANTLY FILL OIL OVER THE YEARS. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE NEW. AND GOT STUCK WITH IT AS I WAS GOING THROUGH DIVORCE AND NOT WORKING IT WAS UNFORTUNATELY CHEAPER TO PAY FOR A USED ENGINE REPLACEMENT THROUGH TOYOTA. I HAVE SAVED ALL RECEIPTS IN HOPES OF RECUPERATING MONEY IN THE FUTURE

VIN # : (XXXX) ON FEBRUARY 26, 2019, I ASKED AUTONATION TYOTA BUENA PARK ( AUTO NATION) TO UPDATE THE SOFTWARE AND REPLACE THE INVERT ASSEMBLY AS PER THE RECALL NOTICE LETTER FROM AUTONATION. ALSO, I EXPLAINED THAT MY CAR'S INVERTER AND ENGINE COOLANT WERE REPLACED ON NOVEMBER 19, 2015 WITH SHOWING THE INVOICE OF DCH TOYOTA OF SIMI VALLEY AND I HAD SAME OVERHEATING PROBLEM AS BEFORE IN SUMMER 2018. ON FEBRUARY 27, 2019, AUTONATION EMAILED ME AS PER THE ATTACHED COPY HERE THAT THE TOYOTA REPRESENTATIVE CAME TO AUTONATION AND DID NOT APPROVE REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT DUE TO HIGH MILEAGE (218,542) OF MY CAR. ON FEBRURY 28, I PICKED MY CAR BUT I WILL DRIVE AFTER RECEIPT OF TOYOTA'S CONFIRMATION THAT VEHICLE IS SAFE I BELIEVE THAT THE INVERTER ASSEMBLY SHOULD BE REPLACED REGARDLESS OF MILEAGE FOR MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY IF MY CAR HAS EXPERIENCED INVERTER FAILURE. ALSO, I FILED MY COMPLAIN WITH NATIONAL TRAFFIC AND MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY DEPARTMENT. REGARDS (XXXX) PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

ABS FAILED. WARNING LIGHTS DO NOT APPEAR. HEARD OTHERS HAVE SIMILAR ISSUE. TOYOTA WILL FIX THE ABS ONLY IF THE WARNING LIGHTS APPEAR. WARNING LIGHTS APPEAR ONLY WHEN CAR IS NOT ON COMPLETELY. BRAKES WENT OUT WITH NO WARNING AT ALL. BRAKES WENT OUT WITH NO WARNING WHILE DRIVING. LIGHT BULB LEAKS MOISTURE HAS SINCE PURCHASE. LIGHT BULBS BLOW FREQUENTLY.

UPON BRAKING (EXACERBATED BY WET OR SLIPPERY CONDITIONS AND HARD BRAKING) THE ABS SYSTEM DOES NOT BEHAVE AS EXPECTED. INSTEAD OF PULSATING TO MODULATE THE AMOUNT OF BRAKING FORCE AND SLOWING DOWN THE VEHICLE THE BRAKES WILL COMPLETELY STOP ENGAGING WHILE THE CAR TRAVELS A MODERATE DISTANCE (E.G. 10 FEET) BEFORE THE BRAKES KICK IN AGAIN.

THIS VEHICLE HAS HYBRID SYSTEM FAULTS RECALL SINCE OCTOBER 2018 AND TOYOTA STILL HAS NOT RESPONDED TO MY REQUEST TO FIX THE CAR AFTER 4MONTHS. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE THIS CAR BECAUSE THE HYBRID SYSTEM DEFAULT WARNING LIGHT COMES UP PRETTY FREQUENTLY.

ELECTRIC STEERING MAKES THE STEERING WHEEL HARD TO TURN AND IS ERRATIC. DEALER SAID THE CAR NEEDS A NEW STEERING MOTOR/COLUMN. CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. MY RESEARCH HAS FOUND OTHER MODEL PRIUS WITH SILIRAR PROBLEMS AND ALSO THE RAV4 HAS STEERING ISSUES. THIS OCCURS WHILE DRIVING THE CAR. MY WIFE REFUSED TO DRIVE THE CAR. AND I HAVE PARKED IT. DEALER WANTS ALMOST 3000$ TO REPLACE.

HEADLIGHT WOULD BURN OUT A YEAR AFTER REPLACEMENT. MANUFACTURER ISSUED A VARIANT OF A RECALL INTENDING TO PROVIDE A FIX FOR HIGH RATE OF BURNOUT. I TOOK MY CAR IN TO A DEALERSHIP TO RECEIVE THE FIX AND THE DEALERSHIP CAUSED A PROBLEM WITH THE FRONT WINDSHIELD WIPER APPARATUS. WIPERS WOULD NOW WORK IF THE HEADLIGHTS WERE OFF, BUT WOULD NO LONGER WORK ONCE THE HEADLIGHTS WERE TURNED ON. THIS WOULD OCCUR WHETHER STATIONARY OR MOVING.

ABS SYSTEM COMPLETELY FAILED WHILE DRIVING, NO ACCIDENT OCCURRED BUT DEFINITELY COULD HAVE. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DEALER AND I WAS TOLD THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE ABS SYSTEM ON THE VEHICLE BUT THEY DECLINED FIXING IT FREE OF CHARGE DUE TO MILEAGE, AND THEY GAVE ME A QUOTE OF $3000 TO FIX A PROBLEM THAT THEY HAVE NOT TAKEN RESPONSIBILITY FOR A KNOW ABOUT. TO MY UNDERSTANDING A RECALL IS A RECALL REGARDLESS TO MILEAGE AND I ALSO ASKED THE DEALER ABOUT THE PROBLEM 1 YEAR AGO AND WAS TOLD IT WAS NO PROBLEM.

WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, THE ENGINE STARTED SHAKING, THE STEERING AND BRAKES LOCKED UP AND THE ENGINE CEASED UP AS THE CAR SHUT OFF. GOT ERROR CODE P3190 FOR POOR ENGINE POWER, AND THEN A DAY LATER EVERYTHING WAS NORMAL. THIS IS THE 2ND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING, THE FIRST TIME WAS IN A 2002 PRIUS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA PRIUS. EACH TIME THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN, IT SHOOK, STALLED, AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT HAD TO DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL WITH EXCESSIVE PRESSURE FOR THE BRAKE LIGHTS TO ILLUMINATE. ALSO, THE HORN FAILED TO FUNCTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SOUTH BAY TOYOTA (LOCATED AT 18416 S WESTERN AVE, GARDENA, CA 90248, (310) 323-7800), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS LATER TAKEN TO AUTONATION TOYOTA CERRITOS (LOCATED AT 18700 STUDEBAKER RD, CERRITOS, CA 90703, (562) 802-4000), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED DUE TO THE REPAIR FEES. THE VIN WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V684000 (HYBRID PROPULSION SYSTEM). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

HAD TO REPLACE MY HEAD GASKET

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA PRIUS. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V684000 (HYBRID PROPULSION SYSTEM). THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. STEVENS CREEK TOYOTA (4202 STEVENS CREEK BLVD, SAN JOSE, CA 95129, (408) 984-1234) WAS CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REMEDY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

IT HAS BEEN OVER 2 MONTHS AND NO REMEDY (SOFTWARE UPDATE) HAS BEEN RELEASED FOR NHSTA RECALL # 18V684 (HYBRID SYSTEM MAY SHUTDOWN AND CAUSE STALL J0V). I AM MOVING AND NEED THIS ISSUE FIXED BEFORE I GO OVERSEAS.

2010 TOYOTA PRIUS. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO SAFETY RECALL 18V-684. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A LOSS OF POWER DUE TO THE FAULTY FAILSAFE DRIVING MODE. THE CONSUMER NO LONGER OWNS THE VEHICLE. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA PRIUS. WHILE THE BRAKES WERE ENGAGED AND THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, A LOUD ABNORMAL NOISE WAS HEARD FROM UNDER THE HOOD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO GERMAIN TOYOTA OF NAPLES (13315 TAMIAMI TRAIL N, NAPLES, FL 34110, (888) 722-4942) WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE MASTER CYLINDER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THE LINEAR OFF SET VALUE NEEDED TO BE RE-LEARNED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 111,399.

TOYOTA HAS PERFORMED WHAT THEY PURPORT TO BE THE SAME RECALL, EOE, TWICE. THE SECOND TIME IT WAS PERFORMED, IT WAS PERFORMED WITHOUT ADVANCE NOTICE TO ME, AND WITHOUT EXPLANATION, EXCEPT THAT IT NOT BEEN PERFORMED BEFORE ON MY VEHICLE, AND WAS REQUIRED. AFTER THE WORK WAS DONE, AND AFTER RETURNING FROM THE DEALER, I CHECKED MY RECORDS, AND I DETERMINED THAT THE EOE RECALL HAD IN FACT BEEN DONE THREE YEARS EARLIER, IN 2015. SUBSEQUENT CONTACTS WITH TOYOTA AND THE DEALERS INVOLVED HAS NOT PROVIDED AN EXPLANATION, REGARDING THE NEED TO ESSENTIALLY RE-DO THE SAME EOE RECALL, EXCEPT AS A PART OF THE LATEST RECALL, WHICH CURRENTLY HAS NO REMEDY. THIS LATEST RECALL, NHTSA NO. 18V-684, STATES 'A PREVIOUS SAFETY RECALL MAY NOT HAVE BEEN FULLY COMPLETED . . . '. THE STATEMENT IS VAGUE, AND NO ONE HAS BEEN ABLE TO TELL ME WHY ANY PRIOR RECALL WAS NOT FULLY COMPLETED, WHEN THE SERVICE INVOICE INDICATES SUCH RECALLS WERE IN FACT FULLY COMPLETED. TOYOTA TELLS ME OTHER OWNERS ARE AFFECTED, NOT JUST ME. I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY NOTICE FROM TOYOTA, INDICATING THE WORK DONE FOR THE FIRST EOE WAS IN ANY WAY INCOMPLETE, SUCH THAT IT NEEDED TO BE DONE TWICE. THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THE SECOND EOE INSTALLED DIFFERENT SOFTWARE, BUT I HAVE NO WAY OF KNOWING, SINCE THE SECOND EOE RECALL IS BEING DONE IN A NON-TRANSPARENT MANNER. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, BECAUSE OWNERS ARE NOT BEING MADE AWARE OF POSSIBLE PROBLEMS WITH THEIR VEHICLES, AND IT IS UNCLEAR IF THE REMEDY HAS BEEN PROPERLY VETTED.

AUTOMOTIVE PAINT IS UNSTABLE. ON THE SIDES THERE ARE SEVERAL POINTS. MANY PAINT CHIPS IN FRONT OF THE CAR. THE MACHINE QUICKLY RUSTS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA PRIUS. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO STOP WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE CONTACT HAD TO APPLY THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXHIBITED THE SAME SYMPTOMS AS LISTED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 13V235000 (SERVICE BRAKES). THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TOYOTA OF POWAY (13631 POWAY RD, POWAY, CA 92064, 858-486-2900) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THEY WOULD SEND HER A CLAIM NUMBER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 137,450.

I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING THE SAFETY RISKS OUTLINED IN THE FOLLOWING MANUFACTURER RECALL NUMBER: J1V NHTSA RECALL NUMBER: 18V684 I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS ISSUE FOR THE PAST 2 - 3 YEARS AND UNKNOWINGLY MAY HAVE BEEN SPENDING HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS ON REPAIRS THAT MAY NOT HAVE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. CURRENTLY, MY CAR IS NOT RUNNING AS I EXPERIENCED A STALL (11/09/2018) WHILE EXITING THE FREEWAY AT A HIGH SPEED WITH THE SCREEN READING "CHECK HYBRID SYSTEM" AND THE DASH LIT UP WITH THE YELLOW TRIANGLE AND EXCLAMATION POINT. I AM NOT ABLE TO ACCELERATE DURING THE STALL, BRAKES ARE WORKING. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME COUNTLESS TIMES, ALMOST ALWAYS ON THE FREEWAY OR EXITING AND WHILE TRAVELING AT A HIGH SPEED. SOMETIMES THE VEHICLE WOULD START BACK UP AFTER A FEW MINUTES OF BEING TURNED OFF. THIS PARTICULAR TIME (11/09/2018), I COASTED THE VEHICLE TO A SAFE SPOT AND THE VEHICLE ENGINE NEVER TURNED ON AGAIN. I TOWED THE VEHICLE TO MY RESIDENCE AND THEN TO MY MECHANIC. I AM ONLY ABLE TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL. THE MOTOR WILL NOT COME ON AT ALL AND THE SCREEN READS "CHECK HYBRID SYSTEM". THE CAR HAD OVER 1/4 TANK OF GAS AT THE TIME. I CURRENTLY USE MY VEHICLE FOR MY LIVELIHOOD DOING INDEPENDENT DELIVERY SERVICES SUCH AS INSTACART, DOORDASH, POSTMATES ETC. SINCE THERE IS YET TO BE A REMEDY FOR THIS SITUATION I WANT TO KNOW WHAT MY OPTIONS ARE TO GET BACK THE MONEY I'VE SPENT OR COMPENSATION FOR THIS VEHICLE SINCE IT IS NOT USABLE AND UNABLE TO BE FIXED BY THE MANUFACTURER IN A TIMELY MANNER. I CAN PROVIDE DOCUMENTATION IN REGARDS TO REPAIRS MADE AS WELL AS VISITS TO TOYOTA IN WHICH THEY WERE UNAWARE OF THE ISSUE.

THERE'S A VOLUNTARY RECALL THAT TOYOTA IS DOING ON THE PRIUS RIGHT NOW THAT SEEMS DANGEROUS AND POORLY EXECUTED. THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT WIRING HARNESS HAS A DEFECT THAT CAUSES IT TO BURN OUT HEADLIGHTS OR SHORT OUT IN A WAY THAT THE HEADLIGHTS WON'T WORK. SOMETIMES YOU CAN GET THE HEADLIGHTS WORKING AGAIN BY WIGGLING THE WIRING HARNESS, BUT I'VE HAD THIS OCCUR SEVERAL TIMES WHILE ON BACK COUNTRY ROADS AND YOU JUST HAVE 1 HEADLIGHT, WHICH SEEMS SUPER DANGEROUS. TOYOTA WON'T FIX IT UNLESS YOU COME IN WITH THE HEADLIGHT BUSTED WHICH MEANS YOU HAVE TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT AND EITHER DRIVE THE CAR AROUND ILLEGALLY WITH 1 WORKING HEADLIGHT OR JUST NOT DRIVE IT FOR A WEEK WHILE YOU WAIT FOR YOUR APPOINTMENT. THIS IS A SAFETY DEFECT AND THEY NEED TO REPLACE THE WIRING HARNESS WITHOUT HOOPS TO JUMP THROUGH.

SOMETIMES AFTER STARTING THE CAR, BRAKES WILL ONLY RESPONSE TO HARD BRAKING. CANNOT BRAKE TO SLOW DOWN GRADUALLY. BRAKES WILL NOT RESPOND AT ALL WHEN LIGHTLY PRESSING DOWN ON BRAKE PEDAL. ONLY AFTER DRIVING ABOUT 1 MILE WILL NORMAL BRAKING FUNCTIONALITY RETURN. THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE EVER SINCE I FIRST BOUGHT MY CAR NEW.

WHEN BRAKING WHILE CAR IS GOING OVER A POTHOLE, CAR WILL BRIEFLY ACCELERATE FORWARD BEFORE STOPPING.

PRIUS ANTI LOCK SYSTEM

INTERMITTENTLY, SEVERAL WARNING LIGHTS COME ON AT ONCE WHILE DRIVING: TRACTION CONTROL, BRAKE, AND ABS LIGHTS. WHILE ON, BRAKING IS LESSENED, BRAKES FEEL SPONGY, AND THE BATTERY GENERATION INDICATOR SHOWS NO ENERGY BEING PRODUCED. I FOUND SEVERAL SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ONLINE. FOR ME, THE PROBLEM HAS COMES AND GOES, AFFECTING ABOUT 50 PERCENT OF MY DRIVING TIME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA PRIUS. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT'S SPOUSE WAS ABLE TO PULL THE VEHICLE OVER SAFELY. THE CONTACT'S SPOUSE TURNED THE OFF AND RESTARTED THE ENGINE, AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME. ALL THE WARNING INDICATORS WERE ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO PENSKE TOYOTA OF COVINA (1800 E GARVEY AVE S, WEST COVINA, CA 91791, (626) 859-7400) TO BE REPAIRED. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DISCLOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 27,000.

I AM ENTERING THIS COMPLAINT BASED ON READING DOZENS OF ACCOUNTS THAT RESEMBLE MY ISSUE EXACTLY. TEN MINUTES INTO A FORTY MINUTE DRIVE THREE LIGHTS SUDDENLY CAME ON, THE BRAKE, ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS. THE BRAKES IMMEDIATELY BECAME SOFT, REQUIRING 50-60% MORE EFFORT TO STOP THE CAR AND DRASTICALLY REDUCED STOPPING TIME. THIS OCCURRED ON A DARK COUNTY ROAD, AFTER A LIGHT SNOWFALL AND TEMPERATURES IN THE MID-20'S. I QUICKLY PULLED INTO A CHURCH PARKING LOT TO CHECK THE BRAKE FLUID LEVEL AND FOR ANY BROKEN BRAKE LINES. I ALSO SHUT OFF THE CAR HOPING TO CLEAR THE ERROR, WHICH IT DID NOT. FLUID LEVELS LOOKED NORMAL AND I DECIDED TO PROCEED THE REMAINING 25 MILES OF MY DRIVE AFTER ENSURING THAT I COULD STOP AS NEEDED. AFTER 20 MINUTES OF DRIVING 45-55MPH THE LIGHTS TURNED OFF AND BRAKING POWER WAS INSTANTLY RESTORED TO 100%. I HAVE NOT TAKEN MY CAR INTO THE DEALER YET, BUT PLAN ON NOTIFYING THEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA PRIUS. WHILE DRIVING AT 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE SHOOK AND SMOKE EMITTED THROUGH THE VENTS OF THE VEHICLE COMING FROM THE ENGINE. THE CONTACT COASTED THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND POWERED OFF THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THERE WAS NO WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE AND LATER TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTIFICATION FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V684000 (HYBRID PROPULSION SYSTEM) AND WENT TO TOYOTA OF DOWNTOWN LA (LOCATED AT 1901 S FIGUEROA ST, LOS ANGELES, CA 90007, (213) 354-9999) WITHOUT THE VEHICLE AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 97,400.

I HAD NOT ANY PROBLEM WITH BREAKS AT ALL....ONCE AFTER TAKING A LEFT TURN.......CHECK PCS SYTEM WITH OTHER LIGHTS LIKE WARNING, SLIPPARY, ABS, FRONT BREAKS,CAME ON. EMERGENCY LIGHTS KEEP FLASHING EVEN IF YOU SHUT THE CAR OFF. I TOOK OFF THE FUSE 16 FOR TURN SIGNALS...EVERYTHING CAME NORMAL....ONLY THAT I DONT HAVE TURN SIGNALS. AS SOON AS I PUT THE TURN SIGNAL FUSE BACK...EMERGENCY LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING AND CHECK PCS SYSTEM WITH ALL OTHER LIGHTS CAME ON. DEALER DIAGNOSED THE CAR FOR $ 150.00.....NO CLUE....SAID THEY WILL CHARGE ME EXTRA $550.00 TO FIND PROBLEM.....ON THE SECOND DAY EVENING THEY SAID I NEED TO REPLACE ABS ACTUATOR WILL COST ME $ 4500.00

I WAS EXITING EXIT 3 OF INTERSTATE 91 IN NEW HAVEN CT AND WAS TRYING SLOW DOWN AND STOP BUT WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES THERE WAS NO RESPONSE. I PUMPED THE PEDAL SEVERAL TIMES BUT THE BRAKES STILL FAILED. I STEERED THE CAR TO THE LEFT TO AVOID DIRECTLY COLLIDING WITH THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME AND WOUND UP SCRAPING IT AND CRASHING INTO INTO A BARRIER. I HAVE SINCE LEARNED THAT THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THE 2010 PRIUS AND AM OUTRAGED THAT THE COMPANY HAS BEEN WILLING TO GAMBLE WITH MY SAFETY AND THAT OF OTHER PRIUS OWNERS. I DO NOT HAVE THE ABILITY TO SCAN DOCUMENTS BUT THE CLAIM NUMBER IS ALLSTATE 0523873875 AND THE CT STATE POLICE INCIDENT REPORT IS 1800537795.

MY CAR IS MAKING A WEIRD NOISE COMING FROM THE FIREWALL. MY TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS ARE ON, BRAKE, AND A COUPLE OTHER. IT TURNS OFF AND THEN WILL TURN BACK ON.

WARNING LIGHTS : ABS , BRAKE , AND ANTI-SKID COME ON AND STAY ONE. BRAKE PEDAL IS SPONGY AND UNRESPONSIVE. THE ERROR CODE READS OUT P1241 & C1391 WHICH INDICATE BRAKE BOOSTER PUMP FAILURE. ABS BRAKES HAVE FAILED.

I FIND MYSELF CHANGING MY HEADLIGHTS MORE FREQUENTLY WITH THE PRIUS THEN ANY OTHER CAR IVE EVER HAD. THIS IS RIDICULOUS AND MOST DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE. FRONT LIGHTS ARE NEEDED, I'D LIKE TO ASSUME THEY PUT THEM THERE FOR SAFETY, RIGHT? DRIVING WITH HFH BEAMS IS JUST RUDE TO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. DOUBLE SAFETY ISSUE HERE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2010 TOYOTA PRIUS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 25 MPH, ANOTHER VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE FRONT PASSENGER'S SIDE.

I RECENTLY NOTICED THAT WHEN I OPEN THE CAR DOOR TO GET INTO THE CAR (WITH THE ENGINE OFF), THE BRAKE ASSIST PRIMES FOR QUITE A BIT (> 30 SECONDS). THEN I START MY CAR, I NOTICE THAT THE SOUND CAN BE HEARD PRIMING THE BRAKE (VACUUM?) EVERY 15 SECONDS OR SO AND LASTING ABOUT 3-5 SECONDS. IT PRIMES EVERY TIME I RELEASE THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE DEALER SAID THAT THE BRAKE ACTUATOR IS BAD AND WILL NEED TO BE REPLACE OR THE CAR WILL NOT SOME IN DRIVING CONDITIONS.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, AND CAR BEGAN TO LOSE SPEED -- ONLY PERMITTING TRAVEL AT ABOUT 50 MPH. WITHIN A FEW MINUTES, THE CAR SHUT OFF ENTIRELY. FORTUNATELY, WAS ABLE TO GET TO SIDE OF ROAD BUT THIS COULD HAVE BEEN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS DUE TO LACK OF WARNING, AND FACT THAT WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY WHERE OTHERS ARE GOING 60-70MPH OR FASTER. THE INVERTER OVERHEATED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THIS ISSUE WAS PART OF A RECALL, BUT DID NOT INCLUDE MY YEAR/CAR. EXTREMELY UPSETTING THAT TOYOTA DOES NOT RECALL IT OR AT A MINIMUM SEND A WARNING TO OWNERS TO HAVE THIS LOOKED AT. THIS CAN CAUSE POTENTIALLY FATAL ACCIDENTS, AND TOYOTA SEEMS TO BE AWARE OF THE ISSUE.

BRAKE ACTUATOR KEEPS ACTIVATING EVERY 10 SECONDS. THE CARS ABS, TRACTION CONTROL, AND BRAKES ERROR LIGHTS HAVE ALL COME ON. BRAKES ARE COMPROMISED IN SOME MANNER WHICH CAN POSE SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUES WHILE DRIVING.

ABS ACTUATOR FAILED WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE ON HIGH SPEED CITY STREET. LOSS OF BRAKING POWER NOTICED/OBSERVED. ACTUATOR FAILURE HAS BEEN CONFIRMED BY TOYOTA DEALER - CAR IS CURRENTLY BEING HELD FOR REPAIR.

FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEAT BELT DID NOT BUCKLE IN-LOCK IN, THE MECHANISM IS NOT BROKEN, IT'T JUST NOT CLICK TO LOCK IN.

MANUFACTURER RECALL NUMBER GOU, IS IDENTIFIED ON YOUR WEBSITE AS BEING PART OF THE NHTSA RECALL NUMBER 16V487, RECALL STATUS "RECALL INCOMPLETE"

ABS AND BRAKE LIGHTS "TURNED ON" ON THE DASHBOARD WHILE DRIVING ALONG FREEWAY. HAD TO PUSH THE BRAKE PEDAL HARDER TO STOP THE CAR. SEARCH ONLINE ON WHAT MIGHT BE CAUSING THE WARNING LIGHTS, IT WAS FOUND OUT THAT SO MANY TOYOTA PRIUS CAR OWNERS WERE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. THE SYMPTOM WAS CAUSED BY EITHER FAULTY ACCUMULATOR OR MASTER CYLINDER/ACTUATOR.

ON TWO OCCASIONS, JUNE 22, 2018 AND AUGUST 15, 2018 THIS VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED WHILE USING CRUISE CONTROL AND TRAVELING AT SPEED ON GENERALLY FLAT, STRAIGHT, 4 LANE ROAD IN GOOD WEATHER. I HAVE ATTACHED DOCUMENTS WITH SUMMARIES OF EACH EVENT AND MAPS SHOWING ROUTE AND TERRAIN DURING THE EVENTS. HARD BRAKING SLOWED BUT DID NOT STOP THE VEHICLE EITHER TIME. BOTH TIMES, AFTER TRAVELING SOME DISTANCE WHILE BRAKING BUT CONTINUING TO ACCELERATE WITHOUT MY FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR, THE VEHICLE MADE A THUNKING NOISE FELT THROUGH THE FLOOR OF THE CAR AND SUDDENLY STOPPED ACCELERATING. IN THE FIRST INCIDENT THIS WAS AFTER ABOUT 2 MILES, THE SECOND TIME AFTER ABOUT A MILE. AFTER EACH INCIDENT I PHONED THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT IF THEY COULD REPLICATE THE EVENT THEY MIGHT BE ABLE TO FIGURE IT OUT. I REPORTED THE EVENTS TO CORPORATE TOYOTA AND AN INVESTIGATION WAS OPENED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO FRED ANDERSON TOYOTA OF ASHEVILLE WHERE THEY SPENT SEVERAL DAYS WITH THE CAR, INTERACTING WITH TOYOTA, WHO WAS ASKING THEM TO EXPLORE AND TEST VARIOUS THINGS RELATED TO THE DUAL PEDAL FAIL SAFE, THE COMPUTER, SNAPSHOTS OF EVENTS ON THE COMPUTER ETC. THEIR FINAL JUDGEMENT WAS THAT FLOOR MATS MAY HAVE INTERFERED, THOUGH IT WAS THE FIRST THING I CHECKED WHEN I REGAINED CONTROL OF THE CAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA PRIUS. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS FOR APPROXIMATELY 250 MILES, THE VEHICLE LOST TWO QUARTS OF OIL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER TO BE DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 148,785.

THE BRAKES MAKE SOUNDS WHEN PRESSED. LOOK INTO THE INTERNET AND PRIUS CHAT FORUMS AND TAKING TO LOCAL MECHANIC AND FOUND THE BRAKE ACTUATOR IS FAULTY AND NEED REPLACING ASAP.

SEAT BELT DRIVER AND PASSENGER BUCKLES INSIDE LATCH WORN OUT-LOCKING PIN WORN OUT DUE TO MAKE OUT PLASTIC. THIS IS NOT A GOOD SAFETY SEAT BELT OEM. FROM MANUFACTURE TOYOTA. WE NEED TO RECALL THIS. ALL SEAT BELT BUCKLE LATCH, INSIDE MATERIALS TO LOCK THE PIN SHOULD MAKE OUT METAL, NOT PLASTIC... DO TO WEAR AND USED TO SNAP IN/OUT SO MANYTIME CAUSE THE BUCKLES WARNOUT. PLEASE RECALL THIS PROBLEMS THANK YOU.

I WAS DRIVING TO MY HOUSE AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE BOTTOM. SEVERAL LIGHTS APPEARED ON THE DASHBOARD. I WAS DRIVING IN THE HIGHWAY AND FORTUNATELY THERE WAS AN EXIT AND I COULD GET OUT OF THE HIGHWAY AND I MANAGE HOW TO STOP AND I DID NOT CRASH. THE STORY COULD BE ANOTHER IF I WAS DRIVING FASTER. THE NEXT DAY I TOOK IT TO THE TOYOTA DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE PROBLEM WAS THE BOOSTER PUMP (ATTACHED YOU CAN FIND THE ESTIMATE). I WAS SHOCKED WHEN I FOUND HOW MUCH WAS GOING TO COST ME. MY CAR HAS NEVER HAD A PROBLEM AND ALL OIL CHANGES HAD BEEN AT THE SAME TOYOTA DEALER. I HAVE NEVER TAKEN THE CAR ANYWHERE ELSE. INVESTIGATING I FOUND THAT THIS MODEL PRIUS 2010 IN 2013 HAD A RECALL FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM AFFECTING 82000 PEOPLE. I AM USING THE CAR WITH BECAUSE I HAVE TO GO OUT TO WORK EVERY DAY FOR THE SUSTENANCE OF MY FAMILY AND WITH A CONSTANT CONCERN OF HAVING AN ACCIDENT AND CAUSING DEATH TO OTHER PEOPLE INCLUDING MYSELF, I NEED THE HELP OF TOYOTA TO PAY FOR THE ENTIRETY OF ARRANGEMENT I ALREADY SPOKE WITH TOYOTA HEADQUARTERS AND THEY SAID THAT THEY WILL NOT HELP ME WITH THE COST OF THE REPAIR, IT IS REALLY EXPENSIVE AND IT IS NOT MY FAULT. DOES TOYOTA HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL THERE IS AN ACCIDENT? OR INJURY OR DEAD PEOPLE?.

AFTER CHANGED ALL THE 12V BATTERY AND 201V BATTERY PACK BRAND NEW. ALL THE FLUID; OIL, COOLING WATER, TRANSMISSION ALSO BEEN CHANGED NEW, EVEN CLEAN OUT THE EXHAUST CO2 DEPOSIT IN THE PIPE, BASICALLY THE ENGINE BEEN CLEAN OUT LIKE NEW. THE PROBLEMS NOW IS NOT START OR PUT INTO READY MODE. DUE TO THE INVERTER AND ICU U1 CIRCUIT BOARD NOW SENDING THE SIGNAL TO THE DASH BOARD. DASH BOARD ONLY SHOW FLASHING ENGINE LIGHT, PUSH BUTTON SHOW AMBER NOT GREEN. I HEARD TOYOTA IS RECAL THE SOFTWARE ON THE INVERTER, THIS IS NOT GOING TO HELP, DUE TO REPROGRAM THE KEY AND THE IMOBOLIZER CAUSE THE INFOR ON THE DASH TO SHUT DOWN, THE OBDII CANT EVEN READ OR FUNCTION. NOW MY 2010 HYBRID IS DEAD. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. PLEASE HELP.

RECALL NOTICE EOE WAS PERFORMED ON MY 2010 PRIUS TO CORRECT AN INVERTOR PROBLEM. A SOFTWARE UPDATE WAS PERFORMED. ACCORDING TO MY DEALER AT CAPISTRANO TOYOTA AS WELL AS OTHER DEALERS THIS WAS JUST A BANDAID AND NOT A TRUE FIX. THE OWNER OF CAPISTRANO TOYOTA AS WELL AS OTHER TOYOTA DEALERS HAVE WRITTEN TO TOYOTA THAT THE INVERTOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALER H,S HAD MANY CARS COME BACK AFTER THE SOFTWARE FIX AND HAD TO HAVE THE INVERTOR CHANGED. IF THE INVERTOR FAILS WHILE DRIVING, THE CAR CAN POSSIBLY JUST STOP RUNNING OR SLOW DOWN TO 15 MILES. THIS WILL BE VERY DANGEROUS AND POSSIBLY DEADLY.

I STATED TO THE GLENDALE TOYOTA DEALER IN CALIFORNIA THAT I HEAR AND FEEL A BUZZ/CLICK WHEN I STEP ON THE BRAKE AND THEY INFORMED ME IT IS THE BRAKE ACTUATOR AND WARRANTY EXPIRED IN DECEMBER 2017. I AM REQUESTING IS AN EXTENSION TO THIS WARRANTY OR VOLUNTARILY MAKE IT A SAFETY RECALL. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS AND EXPENSIVE TO FIX.

MY VEHICLE ABRUPTLY SLOWED DOWN ON ILLINOIS HIGHWAY 94 SOUTH BOUND AT 33 EXIT AT 2:00PM AUGUST 10. FORTUNATELY I WAS IN RIGHT LANE, WHICH HAD A SLIGHT SLOPE THAT ALLOWED ME TO DRIVE MY CAR TO THE SERVICE LANE. AFTERWARDS, I TRIED TO START MY CAR WITHOUT ANY SUCCESS. I CALLED MY CAR INSURANCE AGENT ON 2:11PM TO TOW MY CAR TO MY MECHANIC. THEIR DIAGNOSIS WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE INVERTER/CONVERTER. MY VEHICLE WAS TOWED AGAIN TO THE TOYOTA DEALER BECAUSE THIS PROBLEM WAS IN RECALL.

LETTER FROM CONGRESSMAN OLSON ON BEHALF OF CONSTITUENT REGARDING TOYOTA BRAKE RECALL ON HER 2010 TOYOTA PRIUS. *LD THE CONSUMER WAS CONCERNED ABOUT NOT RECEIVING A NOTICE FOR THE SAFETY RECALL FOR THE BRAKES.*JS

VEHICLE HAS LOST POWER ON THE FREEWAY MULTIPLE TIMES FORCING ME TO PULL OVER. IN ONE INSTANCE I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED BY A SEMI. THE VEHICLE WILL SHOW A TEMPERATURE WARNING AND WILL THEN SHUT DOWN AND READ, "CHECK HYBRID SYSTEM". THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP CLAIMS IT NEEDS A NEW ENGINE. THIS IS A WELL KNOWN ISSUE AND WILL GO IN FRONT OF A JUDGE IN JANUARY. I HAVE CONTACTED TOYOTA ABOUT THIS AND THEY TELL ME IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND NOT ELIGIBLE FOR THE WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT. THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN AN UNLIMITED MILEAGE RECALL BUT TOYOTA REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN THIS MORNING TO MY WIFE WHO WAS ON A FREEWAY WHERE THE SPEED LIMIT IS 70MPH. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS ERROR AND I WOULD HATE TO SEE SOMEONE DIE BECAUSE THEIR CAR STOPS ON THE FREEWAY. THIS VEHICLE HAS ALSO HAD SEVERAY P0401 CODES, THERE IS AN WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT FOR THIS AS WELL BUT LIMITED TO 150K MILES. I WAS TOLD BY THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP IT WAS ALSO A CULPRIT FOR A BLOWN HEAD GASKET.

BRAKE PEDAL GOES TO FLOOR. BRAKE LIGHT IS ON. DEALER SAYS ACCUMULATOR PUMP IS BAD. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS ITEM. THEY REPLACED IT UNDER RECALL IN 2014 AND REFUSE TO DO IT AGAIN. QUOTED $2000 TO REPAIR. CALLED TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY WON'T DO ANYTHING EITHER. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND STILL HAVING THE SAME SAFETY ISSUES IS NOT OK. I AM 6 MONTHS PREGNANT AND CANNOT AFFORD TO FIX AN ITEM THAT SHOULD BE COVERED FOR LIFE OF THE VEHICLE DUE TO THIS RECALL.

MY PRIUS WAS RECALLED TO LIMIT CURRENT IN THE MAIN POWER INVERTER AS THEY ARE FAILING. THESE INVERTERS ARE STILL FAILING EVEN AFTER THE SOFTWARE MODIFICATION. TOYOTA EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON THE INVERTER AS THEY KNOW IT COULD FAIL. I DON'T WANT TO BE STRANDED BEFORE THEY WILL ADDRESS THE PROBLEM!

TOYOTA INVERTER FAILURE. MY SPECIFIC VIN WASN'T INCLUDED IN THE RECALL, BUT THE IPM DID FAIL, IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET, WHILE DRIVING, MY CAR LOST ALL POWER & WENT INTO LIMP HOME MODE. FORTUNATELY THE STREET WASN'T BUSY & I WASN'T STRUCK BY ANOTHER VEHICLE AS I HAD MY 6 WEEK OLD NEWBORN IN THE CAR WITH ME. I HAD DUTIFULLY CHECKED TO SEE IF MY CAR WAS INVOLVED IN THE RECALL & IT WASN'T, EVEN THOUGH IT FAILED. THEY ONLY FIX IT AFTER IT FAILS, WHICH IS OUTRAGEOUS.

ON 05/12/2018, THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, MERGING ONTO THE FREEWAY, WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE MESSAGE "CHECK HYBRID SYSTEM" WAS DISPLAYED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DRIVEABLE AT NORMAL STREET SPEEDS AND HAD TO BE TOWED OFF THE FREEWAY ONRAMP. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP ON 05/16/2018, WHERE THE DIAGNOSTIC FOUND THAT THE INVERTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE DIAGNOSTIC DID NOT FIND ANY OTHER FAULT CODES. THE INVERTER WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. THEN, 3 WEEKS AFTER THE COMPLETED REPAIR (LESS THAN 200 MILES), ON 06/11/2018, THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND IDLING WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE MESSAGE "CHECK HYBRID SYSTEM" WAS DISPLAYED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE SAME TOYOTA DEALERSHIP, WHERE THE DIAGNOSTIC FOUND THAT THE FAULT CODE WAS WITH THE HYBRID BATTERY THIS TIME, WHEN IT PREVIOUSLY HAD NOT BEEN AN ISSUE. AFTER THE CODE WAS CLEARED, THE VEHICLE WAS 100% DRIVEABLE AND TAKEN HOME WHILE WE CONSULTED OPTIONS FOR ALTERNATIVE REPAIR OR DIAGNOSTICS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA PRIUS. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO THE PRECEDING VEHICLE. THE FRONTAL AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 167,000.

I TOOK MY PRIUS TO THE DEALER BECAUSE THE BRAKE LIGHT WAS ON, TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM THE DEALER REPLACED MY MASTER CYLINDER AND BRAKE BOOSTER AND BRAKE BOOSTER PUMP ASSEMBLY. I FOUND THAT THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE 2010 PRIUS. T-CP-DOM DATE OF ISSUE JULY 1, 2013. THE RECALL IS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM I HAD, I DO NOT KNOW WHY I AM BEING EXCLUDED FROM THE RECALL. PLEASE REPLY

MY BRAKES RECENTLY STOPPED WORKING AS THEY NORMALLY DO (YOU HAD TO PRESS EXTREMELY HARD ON THE PEDAL TO GET IT TO STOP) AND SEVERAL LIGHTS CAME ON THE DASHBOARD. PRIOR TO THIS THE CAR WAS MAKING A VERY STRANGE NOISE WHEN YOU START TO PUSH ON THE BRAKES. NOT LIKE A TYPICAL SQUEAKY BRAKE SOUND. I TOOK IT TO TOYOTA AND THEY GAVE ME A QUOTE FOR $3,700 STATING THAT I NEEDED A NEW BRAKE CYLINDER ASSEMBLY. I DISCOVERED A RECALL FOR 2010 PRIUS FOR THE EXACT DIAGNOSTIC CODE AND THEY SAID MY PRIUS WAS NOT COVERED BY THE RECALL. WHEN YOU "REBOOT" THE COMPUTER ON THE PRIUS, THE LIGHTS AND BRAKE PROBLEM GO AWAY. THIS APPEARS TO BE A SIGNIFICANT PROBLEM WITH THE 2010 PRIUS FROM WHAT I HAVE READ ON-LINE AND TOYOTA IS NOT ACKNOWLEDGING IT. IT'S ALSO A VERY COSTLY REPAIR THAT SEEMS TO BE EASILY FIXED WHEN YOU REBOOT THE COMPUTER ON THE CAR. WHAT IS GOING ON? HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE PAYING TOYOTA FOR THIS FIX THAT APPEARS TO BE A WIDE PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE THAT SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING?

EXCESS OIL CONSUMPTION, USED 2 QUARTS OF OIL BEFORE NEXT OIL CHANGE, TOYOTA'S DON'T CONSUME OIL THE WAY THIS CAR DOES , I'VE NEVER OWNED A CAR WITH THIS PROBLEM USING SO MUCH OIL. THE BURNT OIL IS GOING TO EVENTUALLY BUILD UP CAUSING MORE ISSUES IN THE COMBUSTION CHAMBERS AND SMOG DEVICES .

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA PRIUS. WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, SEVERAL WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR SIMILAR VEHICLES PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 13V235000 (SERVICE BRAKES). DELUCA TOYOTA (1719 SW COLLEGE RD, HWY 200, OCALA, FL 34471, (352) 732-0770) WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 166,000.

AFTER REGULAR CHECK-UPS AND MAINTENANCE AT 90000 MILES AND 8 YEARS OF DRIVING, ALL OF A SUDDEN THREE BRAKE LIGHTS CAME ON, THE ABS, HAND BRAKE, AND SKID CONTROL LIGHTS ALL CAME ON. AT THIS TIME THE BRAKING ISSUES SEEM TO BE LESS RESPONSIVE BRAKING AND SLIGHT JERKING WHEN PUTTING CONSTANT PRESSURE ON THE BRAKES AT LOW SPEEDS. WHEN BROUGHT TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP, THEY NOTED THAT THERE ARE NO ISSUES, HOWEVER THE MASTER BRAKE CYLINDER IS LIKELY TO FAIL SOON.

I TOOK MY PRIUS TO THE DEALER BECAUSE THE BRAKE LIGHT WAS ON, TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM THEY REPLACED MY MASTER CYLINDER AND BOOSTER ON MY 2010 PRIUS. I ASKED ABOUT A RECALL FOR THE PARTS. I WAS TOLD NO RECALLS, I FOUND THAT THERE IS A RECALL FOR 2010 PRIUS. T-CP-DOM DATE OF ISSUE JULY 1, 2013. THE RECALL IS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM I HAD

I'VE COUNTED AT LEAST 30 BRAKE BOOSTER/ACTUATOR COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE YEAR TO DATE FOR THE SAME ISSUE ON THIS MODEL YEAR CAR. OUR ISSUE IS THE SAME AS EVERYONE ELSE. JUST UNDER 150K MILES, BRAKE, ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS CAME ON MY DAUGHTER'S CAR (WE ARE ORIGINAL OWNERS) AS SHE WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK. NON RESPONSIVE BRAKES, ONLY REAR BRAKES ENGAGE IF YOU PUSH THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR OF THE CAR. TOOK TO DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED DTC C1391, ACCUMULATOR LEAK MALFUNCTION. OUR CAR WAS NOT INCLUDED IN ORIGINAL WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT (MANUFACTURE DATE OF 1/2010), SO PRICE QUOTED WAS $4814.66. OUR DAUGHTER CANNOT AFFORD, SO WE CALLED TOYOTA WARRANTY WHO OFFERED US $2007 AS A MEASURE OF GOOD WILL, BUT NO MORE. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE, BEYOND RIDICULOUS THAT SOME CARS WITH THE SAME DEFECT HAD THE WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT PROGRAM AVAILABLE WHICH PAID FOR THE ENTIRE REPAIR, YET MOST OTHERS LIKE US WERE DENIED THE FIX AND ARE FACING ASTRONOMICAL REPAIR BILLS THAT MANY CANNOT AFFORD, NOR ANTICIPATE ON A CAR SUCH AS A TOYOTA. THE BRAKES FAILED WHILE MY 22 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING - THAT COULD HAVE GONE SO VERY WRONG.

I WAS ON THE FREEWAY IN TRAFFIC, GOING 60 MPH. THERE WAS ROAD CONSTRUCTION COMING UP AHEAD. I DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL AND NOTHING HAPPENED. THE CAR DIDN'T SLOW DOWN AT ALL AND I CRASHED INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE. MY CAR WAS MANUFACTURED WHEN THE 'VOLUNTARY SAFETY RECALL' BY TOYOTA WAS SUPPOSED TO ADDRESS THIS, BUT I RECEIVED NO NOTIFICATION, NOR DID THOUSAND OAKS TOYOTA, WHERE I HAD THE CAR SERVICED, COMMUNICATE ABOUT IT. *JS

THE TRACTION LIGHT, THE ABS LIGHT AND THE BRAKE LIGHT APPEAR ON THE DASH. I HAVE ALREADY PAID THE MECHANIC APPROXIMATLY $1,500 FOR REPAIRS AND NOW I AM TOLD I NEED THE ABS BRAKE BOOSTER WHICH COSTS AN ADDITIONAL $2,546.26. THIS PART HAS BEEN RECALLED ON OTHER 2010 TOYOTA PRIUS MODELS, BUT NOT MINE. I CANNOT AFFORD THIS FIX, SO I AM DRIVING MY CAR AS IT IS. BRAKE PEDAL ACTS DIFFERENTLY EACH TIME I USE THE BRAKES.

I KEEP HAVING TO REPLACE THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS IN MY 2010 TOYOTA PRIUS. WHAT IS GOING ON? MY COMMUTE TO AND FROM WORK EVERYDAY IS 3 HOURS AND WITH DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME I AM USUALLY GOING TO WORK IN THE DARK OR COMING HOME IN THE DARK. MY LIGHTS WENT OUT ON MY WAY HOME IN THE DARK ONCE AND I HAD TO USE MY HIGH BEAMS TO GET HOME SAFE. I AM SURE THIS WAS BLINDING TO ONCOMING TRAFFIC AS INDICATED WITH ALL THE FLASHING OF HIGH BEAMS I GOT.

THE VEHICLE WAS IN A PARKING LOT. UPON STARTING THE CAR, THE DASH DISPLAYED "CHECK HYBRID SYSTEM" AND THE VEHICLE COULD NOT ACCELERATE ABOVE 25 MILES PER HOUR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA PRIUS. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH AND DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL TO SLOW DOWN THE VEHICLE, THE PEDAL BECAME LOOSE. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE CONTINUED MOVING AND THE ANTI-SKID, BRAKE, AND ABS WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO A STOP BY DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL MULTIPLE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CAVENDER TOYOTA (5730 NORTHWEST LOOP 410, SAN ANTONIO, TX 78238, (210) 681-6601) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE POWER BOOSTER FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED DUE TO THE REPAIR FEES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN ANY RECALLS; THEREFORE, NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000.

WHILE DRIVING ON A BUMPY SURFACE THE BRAKES SLIP WHEN APPLIED. STOPPING ABILITY IS REDUCED. THIS HAPPENS ON A REGULAR BASIS, ON SURFACE STREETS AND HIGHWAYS. I HAVE NOTICED IT WHILE STOPPING IN A STRAIGHT LINE, BUT IT MAY ALSO HAPPEN WHILE STOPPING ON A CURVE.

WHILE DRIVING OUR 2010 TOYOTA PRIUS II ON THE INTERSTATE WE BEGAN NOTICING A BURNING SMELL. THEN, THE ABS LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE DASHBOARD. WE PULLED ONTO AN OFF RAMP AND AS WE SLOWED THE VEHICLE DOWN SMOKE BEGAN COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. WE DROVE VERY SLOWLY DOWN THE ROAD AND THE SMOKE BECAME MORE PREVALENT. WE TURNED ON A SIDE STREET AND MY HUSBAND PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK, GOT OUT, WALKED TO THE FRONT, AND NOTICED THAT THE PASSENGER FRONT HEAD LAMP WAS MELTED AND THERE WAS A FLAME. WE QUICKLY GOT OUR FAMILY OUT OF THE CAR (2 KIDS IN CARSEATS IN THE BACK). WE MOVED AWAY FROM THE VEHICLE AND THE FLAMES BECOME LARGER AND LARGER. WE CALLED 911 AND THE HOOD WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES BY THE TIME THE FIREFIGHTERS ARRIVED. THEY WERE ABLE TO PUT THE FIRE OUT QUICKLY, SO IT DID NOT SPREAD INTO THE FRONT CABIN OR REAR OF THE VEHICLE. WE HAD NOT HAD ANY RECENT WORK DONE AND THE VEHICLE WAS FULLY OPERATIONAL UNTIL THE TIME OF THE FIRE. WE HAD NOT BEEN EXPERIENCING ANY PROBLEMS PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT.

ABS, BRAKE AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS ON. CODE C1391 ABNORMAL LEAK IN ACCUMULATOR.

MOTOR CONSUMES EXCESS OIL. MUST ADD SEVERAL QUARTS IN BETWEEN SCHEDULED OIL CHANGES. OCCASIONALLY WHEN FIRST STARTED, THE MOTOR WILL STALL OR SPUTTER.

I WAS AWARE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND ALARM CAME ON WHEN I WOULD MAKE RIGHT OR LEFT HAND TURNS. TOOK MY VEHICLE IN FOR A CHECK. WAS TOLD THERE "WAS NO OIL ON THE DIPSTICK" SO HAD MY OIL CHANGED ON 2/21/2018 AND MY MILEAGE WAS 72704. THEY DID AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST AT THIS TIME. WHEN I RETURNED AT 73696 MILES TO HAVE PHASE TWO OF THE TEST CHECKED, THE OIL WAS AT "FULL LEVEL". NOW AT 77,250 MILES AND AM HAVING TO ADD OIL AGAIN. STOPPED AT TOYOTA SERVICE ON 6/01/2018 FOR THEM TO CHECK THE WARNING LIGHT. VEHICLE WAS LOW ON OIL AGAIN. THEY TOPPED OFF THE OIL AT NO CHARGE. THANK YOU! WHEN ASKED WHAT ELSE COULD BE DONE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, I WAS TOLD I COULD REPLACE THE ENGINE. NOT GOING TO HAPPEN WITH MY 2010 PRIUS. NOT DUE FOR AN OIL CHANGE FOR QUITE SOME TIME. GUESS I WILL CHECK AND ADD OIL AS NEEDED IN THE INTERIM.

C1391 - ABS SYSTEM FAILED

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA PRIUS. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO TOYOTA OF WEST PLAINS (1902 PORTER WAGONER BLVD, WEST PLAINS, MO 65775) FOR A SCHEDULED OIL CHANGE BEFORE A ROAD TRIP. UPON RETURNING FROM THE ROAD TRIP, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THERE WAS NO OIL IN THE VEHICLE AND THE NUMBER TWO HEAD CYLINDER WAS BURNED OUT. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE SAME DEALER AND REPAIRED AT THE VEHICLE OWNER'S EXPENSE. AFTER THE REPAIR, THE ECU POWER MANAGEMENT BOARD MALFUNCTIONED AND THE DEALER REFUSED TO REIMBURSE THE CONTACT FOR THE REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THERE WOULD BE NO REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE REPAIRS BECAUSE THE RECALL HAD EXPIRED. THE VIN TOOL FOUND NO RECALLS FOR THE VEHICLE. THE RECALL INFORMATION WAS NOT PROVIDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 111,226.

BRAKE ACTUATOR HAS FAILED. TRACTION CONTROL, ABS, BRAKE LIGHTS ILLUMINATED ON DASH. MORE EFFORT NEEDED TO ENGAGE BRAKES. THIS AFFECTS THE REGENERATIVE BRAKING AS IT NO LONGER CHARGES ON BRAKING AS IT WAS DESIGNED. CHECKED TOYOTA WEBSITE FOR RECALLS SINCE THIS IS SAFETY RELATED, AND THERE ARE NONE. WHICH IS QUITE DISTURBING. I'VE RESEARCHED PRIUS FORUMS AND THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ONGOING PROBLEM. TOYOTA ISSUED A RECALL FOR THE GENERATION 2 MODEL, HOWEVER THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM FOR GENERATION 3 MODELS AS WELL. THE PROBLEM DID OCCUR WHEN ON THE HIGHWAY TRAVELING AT 60 MPH.

EVERY 4 TO 6 MONTHS HEADLIGHTS ARE BURNING OUT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA PRIUS. WHILE THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, THE VEHICLE DELAYED TO STOP AND THE BRAKE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SHEEHY TOYOTA OF FREDERICKSBURG (3507 JEFFERSON DAVIS HWY, FREDERICKSBURG, VA 22408, (540) 507-0076) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 13V235000 (SERVICE BRAKES). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED TO CONTACT THE DEALER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 250,000. *TT

BRAKE SYSTEM HAS KEPT MAKING AIR PUSHING SOUND BUT SUDDENLY I CANNOT PUSH THE BRAKE PEDAL AT ALL. IT FEEL LIKE BLOCKED. BRAKING FORCE IS NOT WORKING

I HAD BEEN DRIVING THE CAR AND HAD EXPERIENCED THE LOSS OF POWER DESCRIBED IN RECENT ARTICLES AS BEING AN INVERTER PROBLEM (THAT WAS THE SUBJECT OF A SOFTWARE UPDATE BY TOYOTA THAT MAY NOT HAVE FIXED THE ISSUE). AFTER EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE SEVERAL TIMES, MY AUTOBODY SHOP RECOMMENDED REPLACING THE THROTTLE BODY AS THE DIAGNOSTIC CODES WERE NOT 100% CLEAR WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. I HAVE REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY AND NOT HAD THE ISSUE SINCE, BUT I THOUGHT I WOULD REPORT THIS JUST IN CASE THIS IS RELATED TO THE INVERTER ISSUE. THE ISSUE I HAD WAS EXACTLY AS DESCRIBED -- DRIVING THE CAR, THEN SUDDENLY LOSING POWER AND PRACTICALLY UNABLE TO MOVE THE VEHICLE (I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT MAYBE 3 MPH WITH NO POWER STEERING, BARELY GOT OUT OF AN INTERSECTION IN FRONT OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC ONE TIME IT HAPPENED). THIS HAPPENED AT VARIOUS TIMES, ALWAYS WHILE MOVING, BOTH ON THE HIGHWAY AND ON CITY STREETS, STRAIGHT/TURNING. THE ONLY TIME IT DIDN'T SEEM TO HAPPEN WAS WHEN STATIONARY. THIS IS THE ARTICLE I READ THAT COMPELLED ME TO CONTACT NTHSA: HTTPS://WWW.CBSNEWS.COM/NEWS/CALIFORNIA-DEALERSHIP-REFUSES-TO-SELL-CERTAIN-TOYOTA-PRIUS-MODELS-OVER-SAFETY-ISSUES/

SERIOUS ISSUE WITH THE PRIUS. BRAKE ACTUATOR/BRAKE BOOSTER FAIL. THE BRAKING IS SERIOUSLY COMPROMISED BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS IT IS KNOWN TO TOYOTA, BUT THEY WILL NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE. WHEN THE BRAKE/ABS/TRAC LIGHTS ARE RESET THE BRAKES FUNCTION PERFECTLY FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME AND THEN THE LIGHTS/PROBLEM RETURNS.

THREE HEADLIGHT BULBS HAVE BURNED OUT REQUIRING REPLACEMENT BEFORE THE ODOMETER REACHED 70,000 MILES. TOYOTA SENT A NOTICE OF A WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT PROGRAM IN 2017 ON THIS ISSUE, DESCRIBING THE PROPOSED REPAIR AS THE INSTALLATION OF "VOLTAGE ADJUSTMENT WIRE HARNESSES." AS INSTRUCTED, I TOOK MY 2010 PRIUS TO A DEALERSHIP ON JANUARY 19, 2018 AND WAS TOLD THAT IT REQUIRED A REPAIR, BUT THE PARTS WERE NOT IN STOCK AND WERE ON BACK ORDER. IN A FOLLOW UP CALL TO THE DEALERSHIP ON APRIL 26, 2016, THE REPRESENTATIVE SAID THE PARTS WERE STILL ON BACK ORDER, AND THERE WAS NO INDICATION OF WHEN THEY MIGHT BE RECEIVED. THE ADMITTEDLY DEFECTIVE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IN MY CAR CAN AND HAS CAUSED MY HEADLIGHTS TO BURN OUT PREMATURELY, WHICH IS AN OBVIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM. EVEN THOUGH TOYOTA RECOGNIZES THE PROBLEM, THEY SEEM TO BE DRAGGING THEIR FEET IN CORRECTING IT.

HAD RECENTLY PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE USED.. VEHICLE SUDDENLY WAS POWERLESS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. STRUGGLED TO COAST TO SIDE OF THE ROAD. BARELY BEING REAR ENDED BY TRAFFIC APPROACHING FROM BEHIND. OVER HEATED INVERTER REPLACED AT NO CHARGE BY TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. THEN DEALERSHIP TRIED TO TELL ME THE CAR NEEDED $5200 IN ADDITIONAL WORK. I AM IN DISBELIEVE I WAS ABLE TO PURCHASE A CAR WITH OUT THIS WORK BEING DONE TO IT.

CAR LOOSING OIL I ADD EVERY 500 MILES ONE LITER OF OIL

THE OTHER DAY MY BRAKE LIGHT, TRACTION, AND ABS LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC AND THEY SAID IT'S CODE C1391 - ABNORMAL LEAK IN THE ACCUMILATOR, ELECTRICAL ISSUE, AND I MUST GO TO THE DEALER. I'VE SEEN OTHERS COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS. SHOULDN'T THIS BE A RECALL?

ANTILOCK BRAKE ACTUATOR AND PUMP FAILURE. QUOTED AS A $4700 REPAIR AT DEALER WITH LABOR. PARTS ARE JUST OVER $3600. THERE WERE RECALLS ON GEN 2 PRIUS'AND EXTENDED WARRANTY ON OTHER PRIUS' . THIS CAR FALLS UNDER NO HELP AT ALL. WE ARE ORIGINAL OWNERS AND CAR HAD BEEN ESSENTIALLY PROBLEM FREE. DISGUSTED THAT THIS DANGEROUS AND KNOWN PROBLEM ISN'T BEING PROPERLY ADDRESSED BY TOYOTA. ALL LIGHTS ON DASH RELATED TO BRAKES LIT UP WHILE DRIVING. STILL HAD BRAKES. TOOK TO DEALER TO CHECK PROBLEM.

A TIRE BLEW OUT ON THE HIGHWAY, AND AFTERWARDS THE ABS LIGHT, BRAKE LIGHT, AND TRACTION LIGHT CAME ON. APPARENTLY THE BRAKE ACUATOR HAS FAILED COMPLETELY.

I OWN A 2010 TOYOTA PRIUS IV. I CONCUR WITH ALL THAT HAS BEEN DOCUMENTED ABOUT ABS AND BRAKING ISSUES WITH THE PRIUS. TWO WEEKS AGO MY BRAKES STARTED TO SQEAL. I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC AND WAS INFORMED ALL WAS WELL (BRAKE PADS,FLUIDS, OIL). A WEEK LATER THE BRAKE AND ABS INDICATOR CAME ON IN MY VEHICLE. THE BRAKING DISTANCE IS ELONGATED AS I HAVE TO PRESSED FIRMLY ON THE BRAKE FOR THE CAR TO STOP. I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC WHO RESET THE CAR. I DROVE FROM THE MECHANIC AND ALL APPEARED TO BE FINE UNTIL I HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD. THE INDICATORS CAME BACK ON IMMEDIATELY AND THE BRAKING CHANGED. I HAD TO PRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL ALL THE WAY DOWN IN ORDER FOR THE CAR TO START. THE CAR ALWAYS SURGES FORWARD WHENEVER I HIT A POTHOLE, BUMP OR ANY ROUGH SURFACE. IN HIN SIGHT, WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT THE CAR I HAD A FENDER BENDER BECAUSE THE CAR LURCHED FORWARD WHEN I WAS PARKING. I AM NOW DISCOVERING THIS ISSUE IS A KNWON ISSUED WITH TOYOTA; PARTICULARLY THE PRIUS. FIXING THIS PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE EXPENSIVE. TOYOTA SHOULD COVER THE COST VIA A RECALL.

ON A FEW OCCASIONS WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION, WE HAVE DEPRESSED THE BRAKES AND THEY DID NOT GRAB RIGHT AWAY. THIS HAPPENED ONCE GETTING ONTO A HIGHWAY, TWICE ON A CITY STREET, AND ANOTHER TIME ON A COUNTRY ROAD. THERE SEEMS TO BE A SMALL DELAY BEFORE THEY WILL GRAB, CAUSING THE CAR TO FEEL OUT OF CONTROL FOR THAT BRIEF MOMENT. IT FEELS UNSAFE WHEN THIS HAPPENS AND DOESN'T SEEM NORMAL. WE CONTACTED THE SERVICE MANAGER AT TOYOTA TO HAVE THE CAR LOOKED AT, AND HE DID NOT RETURN OUR CALL.

DRIVING ON HIGHWAY IN MODERATE AND HEAVY RAIN OR SNOW AFFECTS THE WINDSHIELD SHADE AND VISIBILITY TO SEE THE ROADWAY CLEARLY. THE SHADE OF THE WINDSHIELD IS DULL GREY UNTIL DRIVING ON CITY STREETS OR GETTING OFF THE HIGHWAY. CAR DEALERS HAD NO ANSWERS OR SOLUTIONS IN THE PAST.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA PRIUS. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, AN ABNORMALLY LOUD NOISE WAS HEARD AND THEN THE SUN ROOF SHATTERED. THE GLASS EXPLODED AND IMPLODED WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE DEALER (ARLINGTON TOYOTA, 10939 ATLANTIC BLVD, JACKSONVILLE, FL 32225, (904) 302-9611) WAS NOTIFIED AND A DIAGNOSTIC APPOINTMENT WAS SCHEDULED. THE INSURANCE COMPANY WAS ALSO NOTIFIED TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE. *TT CONTACT STATES VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING AT 78MPH AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 63,000. *TT

THE HEADLIGHTS KEEP GOING OUT, MAKING DRIVING AT NIGHT UNSAFE UNTIL YOU CAN GET IT FIXED. IT JUST HAPPENED AGAIN, MARCH, 29, 2018. IT HAPPENED 2/11, 6/11, 12/12, 1/13, 6/13, 3/15, 1/16, 7/17 AND NOW. IT WASN'T RAINING, NOTHING INTERESTING AT ALL. LOCAL DRIVING.

THE VEHICLE WAS HAVING ISSUE WITH THE STEERING LOCKED UP WHEN TURNING WITH MOTION ABOUT 20+MPH. THE HYBRID SYSTEM IS NOT AS ADVERTISED THE 50MPG IN ANY WAY AS IT ONLY GETS AVERAGE ABOUT 35MPG. THE VEHICLE HAS 87000 MILES AND THE OLD SYMPTOMS FROM SECOND GENERATION FOLLOWED SUIT WITH IT. THE DASH WENT TOTALLY OFF WHEN WEATHER IS COLD AND SUDDENLY TURNED BACK ON WHEN IT GETS WARM. I HAD DRIVEN A FEW MILES WITHOUT THE DASH ON AND IT WAS A BAD EXPERIENCE SINCE I CANNOT FIGURE OUT THE SPEED OR WHAT IS GOING ON. THE STEERING IS THE MAJOR ISSUE AS WE DARE NOT TO DRIVE THE CAR AND THE TECHNICIANS FROM THE DEALER SAID NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE BUT THIRD PARTY TECHNICIANS RECOMMEND TO TAKE TO TOYOTA FOR RECALL.U TURNS ARE THE WORSE THAT LOCKED THE STEERING AND THE CAR ALMOST COME TO A STOP WITH BEEPING ALARMS.

I HAD A SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER WITH A POPPING SOUND. THE FAILURE NEARLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE I WAS TURNING INTO A TRAFFIC LANE. THIS LEFT ME STALLED IN THAT LANE OF TRAFFIC. THE FAILURE TURNED OUT TO BE THE INVERTER OVER HEATING WAS CAUSED BY THE COOLING PUMP IN THE INVERTER FAILING, WHICH CAUSED THE INVERTER TO OVERHEAT. THIS WAS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY AND WAS A VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR. I CHOSE NOT TO HAVE THE DEALER REPAIR IT AT THEIR EXTREME PRICES. I PAID THE DEALER TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. THEN I HAD GREENTEC IN OLATHE KS. REPAIR THE SYSTEM AT 1/2 THE COST THAT THE DEALER WANTED

THE CAR IS CONSUMING OIL AT UNREASONABLE RATES.

2010 TOYOTA PRIUS. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE BRAKE DEFECT. *SMD *CN

WHEN I PRESS BRAKE ON THE BUMPED ROAD, THE CAR FUNCTION WEIRD AND SEEMS LIKE IT HAS SUDDEN "SHOCK" SO IT IS KIND OF LOSING CONTROL FOR THE CAR EVEN I DIDN'T PRESS BRAKE THAT HARD, IT HAPPENS SEVERAL TIMES ALREADY DURING THE COURSE OF 7 YEARS THAT I OWNED THIS CAR, EVEN WHEN CAR IS NEW. I WAS SO SCARED AND NERVOUS, I DON'T KNOW WHERE TO REPORT THIS PROBLEM AND DID MENTIONED TO DEALER BEFORE. THE PROBLEM IS RANDOM AND UNPREDICTABLE AND I DON'T KNOW WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN. BUT I GUESS I AM KIND OF CAUTIOUS ON WHEN I PRESS PEDAL WHEN I DRIVE. THIS IS MOSTLY HAPPEN IN LOCAL DRIVE, NOT HIGHWAY. IN DRIVING WHEN DRIVING FORWARD, MAYBE THERE IS SOMETHING ON THE ROAD, BUT IT SHOULD NOT BE DOING THIS AS IT IS VERY SCARY AND IT'S LIKE A SUDDEN "JERKY". MY NAME IS [XXX] IT HAPPENED AT LEAST 10 TIMES DURING THE PAST 7 YEARS TO ME. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA PRIUS. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL TO COME TO A STOP, OR WHEN DRIVING OVER A BUMP, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO STOP. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STOPPED AFTER A DISTANCE, BUT NOT WHEN PROMPTED. ALL THE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO GULLO TOYOTA OF CONROE (45 S, CONROE, TX 77304 ,(888) 483-0321) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED DUE TO THE REPAIR FEES. THE MANUFACTURER INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL AND DID NOT OFFER FURTHER ASSISTANCE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 147,000.

VSC, BRAKE, AND ABS LIGHTS ARE ON SYMPTOMS: CRUISE CONTROL WILL BUMP UP THE SPEED THEN "CANCEL" CRUISE CONTROL THE ABILITY TO "SET" CRUISE IS REJECTED VSC, BRAKE, ABS LIGHTS TURN ON NO REGEN BRAKING BRAKES NEED WAY MORE EFFORT TO SLOW/STOP ABRUPT BRAKING WILL CAUSE A SKID ANY HELP WILL BE APPRECIATED.

MY WIFE HAD A 'NEAR-DEATH' EXPERIENCE ON 22-MAR-18 WHILE DRIVING HER PRIUS (2010) BACK HOME. SHE WAS DRIVING ON A HIGH SPEED INTERSTATE FREEWAY (I-10) IN HOUSTON AND SUDDENLY HER ABS BRAKE SYSTEM FAILED AND SHE CAN SHE ALL WARNING LIGHTS IN THE DASHBOARD (ABS WARNING LIGHT, BRAKE SYSTEM WARNING LIGHT, SLIP INDICATOR) WERE LIT. AS SOON AS SHE SAW THESE WARNING, SHE TRIED TO SLOW DOWN THE VEHICLE SAFELY BY APPLYING BRAKES, BUT BRAKES WERE BARELY RESPONSIVE. AT THIS TIME, SHE WAS DRIVING AT A SPEED AROUND 65 MPH. SHE KEPT PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDALS AND SLOWLY MOVED TOWARDS THE SHOULDER AREA. AFTER TRAVELING FOR SOME DISTANCE, THE VEHICLE STOPPED EVENTUALLY. SHE CALLED TOW TRUCK AND TOOK THE CAR TO TOYOTA DEALERSHIP NEARBY. WE ARE WAITING FOR THE RESPONSE FROM THE TOYOTA SERVICE CENTER ABOUT THE FAULT.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER ON OUR 2010 PRIUS WENT OUT AND WE WERE WITHOUT A FUNCTIONING SPEEDOMETER OR GAS GAUGE FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE DRIVE. THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED TO MANY OTHER 2010 PRIUS VEHICLES AND TOYOTA REFUSES TO WARRANTY THIS EXTREMELY COSTLY REPAIR, WHICH CAUSES MANY DRIVERS TO USE THEIR VEHICLES WITHOUT A SPEEDOMETER FOR EXTENDED PERIODS OF TIME.

AS MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE BRAKES FAILED; THE PEDALS WENT TO THE FLOOR. SHE HAD TO SWERVE TO AVOID HITTING SOMEONE. SHE CONTINUE TO PRESS THE PEDALS AND THE CAR EVENTUALLY STOPPED. WHEN I GOT TO HER I TURNED THE CAR BACK ON AND TESTED THE BRAKES. THIS TIME THE PEDALS WOULD BARELY GO DOWN AND WOULD ONLY STOP THE VEHICLES IF YOU WENT 5 TO 10 MPH. IT RENDERED THE CAR UNUSABLE. I FOUND ONLINE THAT THERE WAS RECALL FOR 2010 TOYOTA PRIUS'S BUT TOYOTA SAID MY VIN WASN'T LISTED IN THE RECALL FOR AN ACTUATOR.

MY CAR COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN IN TRAFFIC, ENGINE, STEERING, TRANSMISSION ALL QUIT AND I WAS ALMOST IN A HORRIFIC ACCIDENT AS I COULD NOT CONTROL THE CAR OR GET OUT OF ANYONE'S WAY. THE CHECK HYBRID WARNING LIGHT WAS ALSO ON. IT WAS TOWED AND THE GARAGE SAID IT WAS A SOFTWARE UPDATE THAT I WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THAT CAUSED COMPLETE FAILURE.

WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 50MPH, INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DISPLAYED BRAKE, ABS, (!), AND TCS. AS I ATTEMPTED TO SLOW DOWN, BRAKES LOST EFFECTIVENESS AND BECAME MUSHY. I HAD TO PRESS ON BRAKE PEDAL EXTRA HARD TO SLOW THE CAR DOWN AND BRING TO CAR TO A STOP. PEDAL TRAVEL AND FORCE REQUIRED WAS WAY MORE THEN NORMAL.

MY EMERGENCY BRAKE HAS FAILED. I PARK ON A HIL AND MY CAR ALMOST WENT DOWN WITHOUT ME IN IT , I WAS GETTING SOMETHING OUT OF THE BACK SEAT WHEN THE EB FAILED, LUCKILY THE DRIVERS DOOR WAS OPEN AND I WAS ABLE TO JUMP IN AND BRAKE WITH THE NORMAL BRAKES. ALSO WHILE BRAKING AND GOING OVER A BUMP MY BRAKES FAIL FOR A SECOND.

WITHOUT WARNING, WHILE TRAVELING DOWNHILL AT ABOUT 45 MPH AND BRAKING, THE CAR LOST POWER AND WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. SEVERAL DASH WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE A SHORT DISTANCE , AT 10-15 MPH, TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIRS. A TRANSISTOR IN THE INVERTER HAD OVER-HEATED AND FAILED. THE EVENT OCCURRED ON 28 JAN 2017. TOYOTA KNEW OF THIS POTENTIAL FAILURE AND RECALLED THE CAR FOR A SOFTWARE FIX (EOE RECALL SSC#EOE AGG09A ), INSTALLED IN THE CAR ON 29 APRIL 2014, BY DCH TOYOTA ( 2955 PACIFIC COAST HIGHWAY, TORRANCE , CA) ALSO THE DEALER WHO REPAIRED THE FAILURE. I ONLY RECENTLY LEARNED THE RECALL AND THE FAILURE WERE RELATED AND I BELIEVE THE FAILURE COULD REPEAT WITH POTENTIALLY CATASTROPHIC RESULTS.

MY 2010 PRIUS HAS RELATIVELY LOW MILEAGE - APPROXIMATELY 44,000 MILES. IT HAS BEEN ROUTINELY MAINTAINED AT THE DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED NEW. I JUST REPLACED THE TIRES A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO, AND THE ONLY ISSUES HAVE BEEN THE TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL & THE NEED TO REPLACE AIR FILTERS MORE FREQUENTLY THAN MAY BE NORMAL BECAUSE I DO NOT HAVE A GARAGE SO IT IS PARKED OUTSIDE IN A DRIVEWAY WHERE EXPOSURE TO POLLEN & DEBRIS FROM TREES IS EXCESSIVE. AFTER A SIGNIFICANT WIND & RAIN STORM WEDNESDAY NIGHT, THE ENGINE RATTLED & MADE UNUSUAL NOISES FOR SEVERAL SECONDS WHEN I STARTED THE CAR. THEN, THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT CAME ON. I CHECKED THE MANUAL, WHICH SAID NOT TO DRIVE & TO CALL A DEALERSHIP IMMEDIATELY, WHICH I DID. I WAS TOLD IT WAS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE & IT SHOULD BE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. I WAITED UNTIL THE FOLLOWING MORNING & STARTED IT AGAIN TO VERIFY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BEFORE HAVING IT TOWED. AFTER I WAS AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR 3 HOURS, THE SERVICE GUY TOLD ME THAT WHEN HE STARTED IT, THE CAR RUN FINE, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS OFF, & THEY WERE NOT SURE WHAT CAUSED THE PROBLEM, BUT THEIR DIAGNOSTIC EVALUATION SHOWED A PROBLEM WITH AN OIL LEAK IN THE HEAD GASKET. I WAS QUOTED A COST OF APPROX. $1500 TO OPEN IT UP, FIX THE LEAK, & CHECK FOR ANY OTHER PROBLEMS. I GAVE THE GO-AHEAD, BUT AM WONDERING IF THIS IS SYMPTOMATIC OF A GREATER PROBLEM THAT WILL BE REPEATED. I AM WAITING TO HEAR BACK FROM THE DEALERSHIP AFTER THE REPAIR TODAY. MY GOAL IS TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE UNTIL IT HAS 100,000 MILES OR SO & THEN TRADE IN FOR THE NEWER MODEL. DID I MAKE THE RIGHT DECISION? DO I HAVE A LEMON? IS THIS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 2010 MODEL? IS IT REPARABLE, OR COULD THE ENGINE NOW BE WARPED AND IRREPARABLE?

I JUST TESTED ALL YEARS FROM 2010 TO 2011 PRIUS, THOSE PRIUS BURNS A LOT OF OIL AT EVERY 2,000 MILES. I DID FILL IT (AT 4.4 QUARTS OF OIL) CORRECTLY IT BUT PRIUS ATE OVER 3 QUARTS IN 2000 MILES. LIKE MANY OF PEOPLE HAVE BEEN REPORTS THIS ON PRIUSCHAT.COM AND ETC ONLINE FORUMS. I HATE TO SPEND MY MONEY TO BUY MOTOR OILS! WHY THIS PRIUS EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION? "WHAT DID THIS HAPPEN?" I JUST PURCHASED 2010 PRIUS ON OCT. 2016. AND I TESTED IT. IT STILL OIL CONSUMPTION. TOYOTA DEALER CAN'T DO ANYTHING FOR MOTOR OIL. SINCE IT HAPPENED, I STILL CHECK OIL LEVEL AT EVERY 2,000 MILES AND PUT IT SOME MOTOR OIL IN IT UNTIL IT REACH TO 5,000 MILES FOR SYNTHETIC OIL CHANGE.

OUR PRIUS HAS BEEN LOSING POWER. IT HAS 68K MILES AND WE ARE THE ORIGINAL OWNERS. DRIVING AT HWY SPEEDS WE NOTICED WE HAVE TO PUSH HARD DOWN ON THE GAS JUST TO GET THE CAR TO MAINTAIN HIGHWAY SPEEDS. HILLS ARE EVEN WORSE. WE ARE ALSO STILL WAITING ON THE PARTS TO FIX OUR HEADLIGHTS. OVER THE YEARS I HAVE CHANGED THE LOW BEAM BULBS AT LEAST 6 TIMES! WHEN ARE THE PARTS COMING?

ABS LIGHT STAYS ON, I HAVE NO BRAKES WHEN EMERGENCY BRAKING, THERE WAS A TOYOTA PRIUS RECALL ON BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER AND BOOSTER PUMP BUT TOYOTA SAID IT WAS NOT FOR MY VEHICLE. MY PROBLEM IS EXACTLY THE SAME PROBLEM AS OTHER PRIUS BRAKE RECALLS BUT TOYOTA WILL NOT COVER IT. LESS THEN 65,000 MILES ON THE CAR . HOW CAN A MASTER CYL BE BAD BY NOW, THEY USUALLY LAST OVER 100,000 MILES. VERY UNSAFE , AND MAY KILL SOMEONE. THIS SHOULD BE COVERED BY TOYOTA WITH ALL THE OTHER BRAKE RECALL PROBLEMS WITH THIS YEAR AND MODEL. I HAD TO SLAM ON MY BRAKES BUT MY CAR WOULD NOT STOP CAUSING ME TO RUN INTO A WALL AT THE BALTIMORE HARBOR TUNNEL. THIS IS A RECALL AND LETTERS WERE SENT OUT BY TOYOTA ABOUT THIS FAULTY BRAKING BUT NOW TOYOTA WILL NOT HONOR THE RECALL

MY CAR NEED TO REPLACE THE BRAKE PUMP ASSEMBLY WHICH IS SAME AS ONE OF THEIR PAST RECALL IN 2013. I CALLED TOYOTA AND THEY SAID MY CAR'S WAS NOT IN THE RANGE SO THEY DON'T COVER IT. YEA, CERTAIN VINS BUT IT IS CLEARLY THAT ALL THE 2010 PRIUS HAVE THIS ISSUE.

COPIED THE BELOW FROM ANOTHER COMPLAINT BECAUSE THIS GUY IS HAVING THE EXACT SAME ISSUE I AM HAVING, I BOUGHT THE CAR AUG 2017 RIGHT BEFORE THE PERIOD TO GET IT REPLACED EXPIRED, WAS NEVER NOTIFIED IN ANY WAY OF THIS WARRANTY CHANGE SO HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO KNOW I HAVE A DEFECTIVE PART ON MY CAR.. BUT THE DEALERSHIP STILL SOLD IT TO ME, NOW A MONTH AFTER THE ELIGIBILITY TO GET IT REPAIRED EXPIRES, MY BRAKES DIE AND TOYOTA SAYS THEY WONT HELP NOR IS THE DEALERSHIP RESPONSIBLE FOR SELLING ME THE CAR WITHOUT CHECKING IF THE RECALLED PART WAS REPLACED. THEY ALSO KEEP MENTIONING THE EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE ACTUATOR IS ONLY FOR "CERTAIN VIN'S". SO THEY ARE GONNA EXTEND THE WARRANTY ON CERTAIN 2010 PRIUS' BUT NOT ALL OF THEM.. THIS MAKES NO SENSE.. PLEASE HELP MY 2010 PRIUS IS HAVING ISSUES AS SAME AS THE SAFETY RECALL BACK IN 2013 ( 13V-235 ). THE ABS LIGHT, VSC LIGHT, AND BRAKE LIGHT WERE ON AFTER A BUMPY ROOAD IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY INDICATED THAT THERE WAS A LEAK IN THE ACCUMULATOR. AFTER RESET THE SYSTEM, ALL THE LIGHTS WENT OFF BUT I STILL FEEL THE LOSSES OF PRESSURE ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. HOWEVER, MY CAR HAS 0 OPEN RECALL AND THE DEALER QUOTED ME OVER 5K FOR THE REPAIR WHICH IS RIDICULOUS COMPARE TO THE VALUE OF THE CAR.

MY 2010 PRIUS IS HAVING ISSUES AS SAME AS THE SAFETY RECALL BACK IN 2013 ( 13V-235 ). THE ABS LIGHT, VSC LIGHT, AND BRAKE LIGHT WERE ON AFTER A BUMPY ROOAD IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY INDICATED THAT THERE WAS A LEAK IN THE ACCUMULATOR. AFTER RESET THE SYSTEM, ALL THE LIGHTS WENT OFF BUT I STILL FEEL THE LOSSES OF PRESSURE ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. HOWEVER, MY CAR HAS 0 OPEN RECALL AND THE DEALER QUOTED ME OVER 5K FOR THE REPAIR WHICH IS RIDICULOUS COMPARE TO THE VALUE OF THE CAR.

AT ABOUT 125K MILES, MY PRIUS NEARLY RAN OUT OF OIL BETWEEN SERVICES, AND I RELIGIOUSLY SERVICE MY VEHICLE. I BURNED 1 TO 2 QUARTS BETWEEN SERVICES SINCE. AT 272,408 MILES, I JUST PAID $5751.59 FOR A COMPLETE ENGINE REBUILD... REST OF CAR IS IN GREAT SHAPE. OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEMS WERE KNOWN BY THE DEALERSHIPS, BUT I WAS GIVEN NO RECOURSE EXCEPT DEALING WITH IT. LATEST ISSUE..CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON, MISFIRE ON CYLINDERS 1 AND 4 (PROGRESSING TO ALL), HORRIFIC KNOCKING NOISE WITH SOUND OF RUSHING WATER UPON START-UP. EVENTUALLY, (ONCE THE CYLINDERS FIRED SIGNIFICANTLY) THE ENGINE COULD RUN SATISFACTORILY FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE DRIVE... UNTIL THE NEXT START. EARLY ON I READ THAT TOYOTA KNEW OF THE UNDER-ENGINEERED MOTOR OF THE 2010S, BUT I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANYTHING ANNOUNCING A RECALL OR CARE TO FIX THEIR ENGINEERING ISSUE. I HAVE MY SERVICE RECORDS TO VALIDATE THE CARE I'VE GIVEN TO MY CAR. THE DATE OF THE ENGINE REBUILD IS WHAT I WILL PROVIDE AS TO WHEN THIS HAPPENED, BUT THE OIL CONSUMPTION BEGAN YEARS AGO.

MY CAR IS A 2010 TOYOTA PRIUS WITH NEARLY 100K MILES. I WAS TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY AT APPROX 65 MPH WHEN ANOTHER VEHICLE WAS TRYING TO MERGE ONTO THE HIGHWAY. I USUALLY MAINTAIN MY SPEED BUT IN THIS SITUATION OF TRAFFIC I SLOWED SLIGHTLY AND FLASHED MY HEADLIGHTS FOR THE DRIVER TO GO AHEAD OF ME. THE DRIVER SEEMED TO BE UNSURE OF MERGING SAFETY AND PULLED OVER TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. IN THAT PROCESS I BRAKED TO SLOW AND THEN ACCELERATED IN AN EFFORT TO MAINTAIN SPEED WITH ONGOING TRAFFIC. THEN ODDLY THE ACCELERATION WENT FROM UNDER FOOT AS IF A 'GHOST' WAS PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. AT FIRST I THOUGHT PERHAPS THE FLOOR MAT WAS IMPROPERLY PRESSING IT. I PRESSED THE BRAKE A BIT A FEW TIMES AND LOOKED TO THE HAZARDS TO ALERT OTHER VEHICLES BUT NEVER PRESSED THEM INSTEAD INTUITIVELY TRYING TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE CAR. THE PROCESS OF PRESSING THE BRAKES AND ACCELERATOR GENTLY SEEMED TO RESET THINGS. HARD TO SAY AS MOST OF MY ATTENTION WAS FOCUSED ON TRYING THINGS TO STOP THE ACCELERATOR. I JUST GOT LUCKY I THINK. I WAS ABLE TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE CAR WITHIN A SHORT TIME THAT FELT LIKE A LONG TIME IN RETROSPECT. PERHAPS A MOMENT OR TWO THAT FELT LIKE LONGER. I DID NOT SEE INDICATING LIGHTS ON MY DASHBOARD AND THEY MAY HAVE LIT UP- I WAS DOING MY BEST TO NOTICE CARS AROUND ME AND MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. MY CAR HAS BEEN 'FINE' SINCE BUT I HAVE NOT GONE BACK ON THE FREEWAY. I HAVE NOT RETURNED TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP BUT THOUGHT ABOUT GOING TODAY. I'LL WAIT TO HEAR BACK IN CASE THERE ARE SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS I SHOULD FOLLOW FOR THAT TO HELP. I LOOKED ONCE STOPPED AND THE FLOOR MAT IS NOWHERE NEAR ANYTHING THAT COULD CATCH A PETAL. WEATHER CLEAR ON THE EVENING OF FEB 1 APPROX 6 PM MEDFORD OREGON ON NORTHBOUND I-5

MY CAR HAD THE ABS WARNING LIGHT ON AND I HEARD A STRANGE NOISE IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. LAST YEAR. ON OCTOBER 7, 2017, I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND ANOTHER DRIVER CUT ME OFF, SO I HAD TO BREAK HARD. THE CAR PULLED HARD TO ONE SIDE AND I HIT THE RETAINING WALL. FORTUNATELY, THE DAMAGE TO THE CAR WAS ON THE BUMPER COVER ONLY, AND I WAS NOT INJURED, SO I WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE DRIVING. THE DEALER RAN DIAGNOSTICS ON MY CAR AFTER THE CRASH AND REPORTED I NEEDED TO HAVE CERTAIN PARTS REPLACED. TOYOTA SAFETY RECALL 13V-235 DESCRIBES EXACTLY THE SYMPTOMS MY CAR SHOWS AND REQUIRES REPLACEMENT OF EXACTLY THE SAME PARTS. THE ONLY PROBLEM IS THAT MY CAR'S VIN DOES NOT FALL IN THE RANGE TOYOTA REPORTED IN THE RECALL. APART FROM THAT , THE PROBLEM IS THE SAME. MY ACCIDENT COULD HAVE BEEN VERY SERIOUS HAD THE RETAINING WALL THAT STOPPED ME NOT BEEN THERE. I COULD HAVE BEEN IN THE CENTER LANES AND THE STORY WOULD HAVE BEEN VERY DIFFERENT, EVEN WITH ME SURVIVING THE ACCIDENT.

I NOTICED A 'CLICKING' IN MY BRAKES AND LOSS OF PRESSURE IN NOV. 2017. I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC FRIEND TO LOOK IT OVER AND I WAS ADVISED THAT IT WAS THE BRAKE BOOSTER LEAKING AND I SHOULD TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE THERE HAD BEEN A 'RECALL' SENT ON CERTAIN VIN #S BUT MINE WASN'T LISTED ON IT. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY WANTED TO CHARGE ME $700+ TO DIAGNOSE AND 'FIX' THE ISSUE. IT WAS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST BECAUSE OF THE PRODUCTION DATE OF MY CAR. I FOUGHT WITH TOYOTA CORP AND THEY DECIDED TO COVER THE COST AS A 'COURTESY'. THE CLICKING STOPPED FOR ABOUT 3 WEEKS THEN CAME BACK MUCH LOUDER AND MORE FREQUENTLY. STILL LOSING PRESSURE, ENOUGH SO THAT WHEN I WAS SITTING AT A STOP LIGHT I WOULD PUT THE CAR IN 'PARK' TO KEEP IT FROM MOVING FORWARD. AGAIN THE DEALERSHIP SAID THIS WAS NOT COVERED BY THE RECALL AND THIS TIME THE COST WOULD BE $4700+ TO 'FIX' THE ISSUE. THIS TIME THEY TOLD ME THEY CONFIRMED THE NITROGEN LEAK WITH THE 'BUBBLE TEST' SO IT WAS, IN FACT, THE BRAKE BOOSTER, BUT IT WAS STILL NOT COVERED. THIS TIME TOYOTA SAID THEY WOULD ONLY PAY $2000 FOR THE TOTAL COST, AGAIN AS A 'COURTESY', BUT I WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REMAINING AMOUNT. I ASKED THE DEALERSHIP IF THERE WAS SOMETHING I HAD DONE TO CAUSE THIS ISSUE AND I WAS TOLD 'NO'. TO ME THEN THAT IS A DEFECT FROM THE MANUFACTURER AND I SHOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE. I HAVE MAINTAINED THIS VEHICLE WITH THE DEALERSHIP ON A CONSISTENT BASIS, ALWAYS TAKING IT TO THEM FOR OIL CHANGES, ROTATIONS, ETC. ALWAYS ON THE SUGGESTED TIME SCHEDULE.

ON OCTOBER 7, 2017 A DRIVER CUT ME OFF ON THE HIGHWAY, I PRESSED MY BRAKES HARD AND THE VEHICLE PULLED TO THE SIDE AND I HIT THE RETAINING WALL. THE IMPACT WAS NOT TOO HARD AND I WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE TRAVELLING. THE ABS WARNING LIGHT IS ON AND I HEAR A STRANGE HUMMING NOISE UNDER THE HOOD. THE DEALER RAN DIAGNOSTICS AND SAID I NEEDED TO REPLACE TWO MAIN PARTS IN THE BRAKE SYSTEM. I FOUND A TOYOTA SAFETY RECALL 13V-235 AFFECTING OTHER PRIUS 2010 THAT DESCRIBES EXACTLY THE SAME PROBLEM AND REQUIRES REPLACEMENT OF EXACTLY THE SAME PARTS INDICATED IN THE SAFETY RECALL. THE ONLY PROBLEM IS THAT TOYOTA REPORTED THIS PROBLEM IN VEHICLES OF THE SAME YEAR AND MODEL, BUT MY CAR'S VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THEIR INDICATED RANGE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP

THE PASSENGER AIR BAG SENSOR IS FAULTY. I SEE THIS PROBLEM EXISTS IN THE RECALL HISTORY OF THIS MAKE AND MODEL. BUT I DON'T SEE A CURRENT RECALL FOR IT NOW. WHAT SHOULD I DO?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA PRIUS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE MADE AN ABNORMAL POUNDING NOISE AND THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. ADDITIONALLY, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS LINKED TO ODOMETER FRAUD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER (TOYOTA OF HOLLYWOOD, 6000 HOLLYWOOD BLVD, HOLLYWOOD, CA 90026), BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TOYOTA OF DOWNTOWN LA (1901 S FIGUEROA ST, LOS ANGELES, CA 90007) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE WAS MISFIRING AND AN ENGINE COMPRESSION TEST WAS NEEDED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 91,984.

AT ABOUT 100,000 MILES ENGINE BEGAN USING EXCESSIVE AMOUNTS OF OIL, EXCEEDING 1 QUART PER 1000 MILES. TOYOTA KNOWS THIS IS A PROBLEM, AND EVEN HAS A TSB ON IT: TSB 0168-16, YET REFUSES TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY.

ENGINE LOOSING OIL AND I HAVE TO ADD OIL EVERY 5 DAYS

THIS CAR USES ALOT OF OIL IN GENERAL USE. I PUT IN 4 QUARTS ABOUT EVERY 2 MONTHS

TURNING LEFT AFTER A STOP SIGN ON A SINGLE LANE STREET (30 MPH), SUDDENLY THE DASH BOARD STARTED FLASHING 'STOP CAR' WARNING AND CONTINUES BEEPING. ALSO, REALIZED THAT APPLYING BREAK PADDLE DID NOT HELP A BIT. IT WAS HARD TO PRESS THE PADDLE THAT MOVED A LITTLE BIT. GOING STRAIGHT ABOUT 300 FT. CAR REDUCED TO IDLING SPEED. TURNING LEFT INTO A PARKING LOT OF A SCHOOL, I TRIED STOPPING IT INTO A PARKING SPACE. BREAK DID NOT WORK AGAIN. SO, CAR STOPPED AFTER HITTING THE CURB. TOYOTA DEALERSHIP WAS CALLED AND ARRANGEMENTS WERE MADE TO TOW AWAY CAR FROM SCHOOL'S PARKING LOT. THE CAR DID NOT STOP WHEN TOWING PERSON TRIED TO REVERSE DRIVE. SOMEHOW HE MANAGED TO MANEUVER IT ON A TOW TRUCK. I WAS INFORMED BY DEALERSHIP THAT BREAK ASSIST SYSTEM (BAS), BUILT INTO PRIUS HYBRID MODEL, FAILED. THE SYSTEM COMPRISES OF ACCUMULATOR & PUMP THAT ASSISTS TO STOP THE CAR WHEN BREAK PADDLE IS PRESSED. THOUGH CAR WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, BREAK SYSTEM AND ASSOCIATED COMPONENTS WERE NOT COVERED. REPAIR COST OVER $1900 TO REPLACE BAS. PURPOSE OF THIS COMPLAINT TO HIGHLIGHT NHTSA OF THE CRITICAL FAILURE OF PRIUS DESIGN TO ALLOW BREAK SYSTEM TO FAIL IN SUCH A COLOSSAL WAY. THE CAR COULD NOT BE STOPPED. THIS IS A SERIOUS DRIVING SAFETY CONCERN. ANY FAILURE OF BREAK ASSIST COMPONENT SHOULD NEVER EVER TAKE AWAY THIS CRITICAL CONTROL. INTENT OF THIS COMPLAINT IS FOR THE PUBLIC SAFETY, HAVING TOYOTA INFORMED OF THE INCIDENT. IT HAS BEEN VERY DISAPPOINTING THAT TOYOTA HAS NOT GIVEN ANY RESPONSE EXCEPT GIVING A CASE NUMBER BY A CUSTOMER SERVICE CENTER. REQUEST NHTSA TO LOOK INTO THE INCIDENT AND MOST IMPORTANTLY REVIEW DESIGN OF BREAK ASSIST SYSTEM FOR PRIUS IN THE INTEREST OF PUBLIC SAFETY AND DEFENSIVE DRIVING. PLEASE ADVISE SHOULD NHTSA REQUIRE FURTHER DETAILS OR INCIDENT NARRATIVE.

APPROACHING A STOP THE BRAKE PEDAL IN THE PRIUS WILL SUDDENLY LOSE RESISTANCE AND WILL NEED TO BE PUSHED TO THE FLOOR WHERE THE BRAKES WILL FINALLY ENGAGE AND THE AUTO WILL COME TO A HARD STOP. THIS HAPPENS RANDOMLY AND IS DIFFICULT FOR A MECHANIC TO DUPLICATE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A TRUSTED MECHANIC (NOT THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP) AND HE CONFIRMED IT IS AN HYDRAULIC PROBLEM AND THAT PADS/DRUMS/ETC. ARE OK. A RECALL WAS ISSUED FOR 2010 PRIUS'S DESCRIBING THIS EXACT SITUATION BUT MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL. RECALL DETAILS THE BRAKE BOOSTER PUMP CONTAINS A COMPARTMENT FILLED WITH NITROGEN GAS. THIS NITROGEN GAS CAN LEAK INTO THE BRAKE FLUID CAUSING REDUCED HYDRAULIC PRESSURE DURING APPLICATION OF THE BRAKES. REDUCED BRAKING EFFICIENCY CAN INCREASE THE RISK OF A CRASH. DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE BRAKE BOOSTER PUMP ASSEMBLY AS NECESSARY TO CORRECT THIS CONCERN. OUR QUICK TAKE REDUCED BRAKING PERFORMANCE MAY BE EXPERIENCED DUE TO A BRAKE BOOSTER SYSTEM ISSUE. WHAT SHOULD YOU DO? TOYOTA WILL BEGIN NOTIFYING OWNERS OF THE AFFECTED VEHICLES DURING JULY, 2013. IF YOU NOTICE PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKING SYSTEM, OR YOU DON'T RECEIVE NOTIFICATION AND YOU FEEL YOU SHOULD HAVE, PLEASE CONTACT YOUR DEALER FOR FURTHER INSTRUCTION. THEY MAY ASK FOR YOUR VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER (VIN), SO PLEASE HAVE IT HANDY WHEN YOU CALL. ON JAN 16, 2018 I CALLED MY LOCAL TOYOTA SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND WAS TOLD NOTHING COULD BE DONE AS I HAVE NO OUTSTANDING RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE. I THEN CALLED TOYOTA ON JAN 17 AND THEY TOLD ME MUCH THE SAME AND OPENED A CASE NUMBER FOR THE ISSUE. THIS ISSUE SEEMS TO BE COVERED ON NHTSA NUMBER 13V235000. I AM REQUESTING NHTSA ADVICE AS TO HOW TO PROCEED.

DRIVERS'S SIDE HEADLIGHT AND HIGH BEAM LIGHT GOING OUT AT SAME TIME. HEADLIGHT BULBS ON BOTH SIDES WERE CHANGED OUT IN NOVEMBER 2016 (A LITTLE MORE THAN A YEAR AGO) AND I ONLY HAVE A 10 MILE COMMUTE TO WORK. IN NOVEMBER OF 2016 DRIVER'S SIDE LIGHT WAS ALSO THE ONE THAT BURNED OUT.

BRAKE LIGHTS CAME ON WHILE DRIVING ON FREEWAY. POWER BRAKES SEEMED TO FAIL AND A LARGE AMOUNT OF PRESSURE WAS REQUIRED TO STOP VEHICLE. TOYOTA OF FORT WORTH DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSED THAT THE ACTUATOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. WE PERFORMED REPAIR (AT A COST OF ROUGHLY $2,000.) A FEW DAYS LATER ON A LONGER DRIVE THE BRAKE LIGHTS TURNED BACK ON. WE RETURNED IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WERE TOLD THAT THE BRAKE BOOSTER/MASTER CYLINDER ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT AN ADDITIONAL COST OF $2,900. I NOTICE THAT TOYOTA HAD A RECALL FOR THIS PART ON OTHER 2010 PRIUS VEHICLES BUT MY VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED IN THAT RECALL.

REFERENCE: TOYOTA PRIUS BRAKE BOOSTER PUMP ASSEMBLY RECALL 2013 THE 2013 RECALL WAS ISSUED FOR APPROXIMATELY 82,000 PRIUS VEHICLES MANUFACTURED FROM MARCH 2009 TO OCTOBER 2009. THE CAR I OWN AND OPERATE, ACCORDING TO A TOYOTA REPRESENTATIVE, WAS BUILT IN DECEMBER 2009 -- THUS, I PRESUME, DID NOT FIT WITHIN PARAMETERS OF THIS PARTICULAR RECALL. A TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE SAID THAT THE VEHICLE MATCHING MY VIN NUMBER HAS NO SAFETY RECALLS ASSOCIATED WITH IT. HOWEVER, THE SAME ISSUE REFERENCED IN THE RECALL -- A FAULTY BRAKE PRESSURE ACCUMULATOR THAT COMPROMISES THE BRAKE BOOSTER PUMP ASSEMBLY SYSTEM -- APPEARS TO HAVE SURFACED IN MY 2010 PRIUS. NO ACCIDENT HAS OCCURRED. THE VEHICLE IS INDICATING A PROBLEM VIA ITS DASHBOARD WARNING LIGHTS. A TOYOTA MAINTENANCE TECHNICIAN, ON SEPT 21, 2017, DIAGNOSED THAT THE CAR'S BRAKE ACCUMULATOR PUMP IS MALFUNCTIONING -- AND THAT IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I AM PETITIONING FOR CONSIDERATION TO EXPAND THE 2013 RECALL, WHICH WAS ORDERED TO CORRECT A DESIGN/MANUFACTURING DEFECT. THE SAME FLAW IS PRESENT IN MY VEHICLE (EVEN THOUGH MY VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED BY THE ORIGINAL RECALL).

THERE IS A CLICKING SOUND WHEN YOU MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL BACK AND FORTH WHEN CAR IS STATIONARY, SOUND IS COMING FROM THE STEERING SHAFT CONNECTION TO THE RACK AND PINION. SAME CLICKING SOUND WHEN CAR DRIVES OVER BUMPS IN THE ROAD. PREVIOUS RECALL OF THIS PROBLEM FOR 2004 TO 2009 PRIUS MODEL STATED A DEFECTIVE INTERMEDIATE SHAFT. THIS PROBLEM SOUNDS IDENTICAL TO THE RECALLS OF 2004-2009 PRIUS MODELS.

LEAK OF NITROGEN IS RELEASED INTO THE BRAKE FLUID, THE BRAKE PEDAL MAY HAVE REDUCED HYDRAULIC PRESSURE. UNDER CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES, THIS CONDITION COULD AFFECT STOPPING DISTANCE AND INCREASE THE RISK OF A CRASH.

MY 2010 PRIUS HAS HAD LIGHTS COME UP ON THE DASHBOARD. VSC, BRAKE, TRACTION & ABS. AFTER THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP RAN DIAGNOSTICS, IT CAME TO LIGHT THAT THE BRAKE ASSEMBLY WITH ACCUMULATOR WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED FOR NEAR $5,000. IT WOULD SEEM THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM THAT HAS RESULTED IN A RECALL FOR ONLY SOME OF THE 2010 PRIUS MODELS. MINE WAS NOT ONE OF THESE RECALLED. I WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST RECOGNITION THAT THIS SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE SAME RECALL. TOYOTA IS A GOOD PRODUCT, AND I UNDERSTAND THAT RECALLS ARE JUST A PART OF LIFE. AS IT STANDS, MY REGENERATIVE BRAKING NO LONGER WORKS AND I HAVE BEEN INFORMED THAT I WILL LOSE ALL BRAKING EVENTUALLY.

CAR IN TWO ACCIDENTS OVER TWO YEARS BODY WAS NOT PROPERLY WELDED BACK TO THE FRAME! BRAKES WERE NOT PROPERLY REALIGNED NEITHER WAS THE STEERING COLUMN TRANSMISSION BANDS WERE NOT OPERATING AND WOULD NOT SHIFT AND NUMEROUS OTHER PARTS FOR LEAKAGE FROM BRAKE LINES TO TRANSMISSION LINES ALL LINES WERE BROKEN AND SO ARE THE SEALS ON THEM!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA PRIUS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A LOSS OF ENGINE POWER. THE CHECK HYBRID SYSTEM WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO TOYOTA OF GREENVILLE LOCATED AT 2686 LAURENS RD, GREENVILLE, SC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED AS AN IPM FAILURE AND THE INVERTER WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V053000 (HYBRID PROPULSION SYSTEM, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) HOWEVER THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONTACT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 132,000.

I WAS DRIVING TO MY HOUSE AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE BOTTOM. SEVERAL LIGHTS APPEARED ON THE DASHBOARD. I WAS DRIVING IN THE HIGHWAY AND FORTUNATELY THERE WAS AN EXIT AND I COULD GET OUT OF THE HIGHWAY AND I MANAGE HOW TO STOP AND I DID NOT CRASH. THE STORY COULD BE ANOTHER IF I WAS DRIVING FASTER. THE NEXT DAY I TOOK IT TO THE TOYOTA DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE PROBLEM WAS THE BOOSTER PUMP (ATTACHED YOU CAN FIND THE ESTIMATE). I WAS SHOCKED WHEN I FOUND HOW MUCH WAS GOING TO COST ME. MY CAR HAS NEVER HAD A PROBLEM AND ALL OIL CHANGES HAD BEEN AT THE SAME TOYOTA DEALER. I HAVE NEVER TAKEN THE CAR ANYWHERE ELSE. INVESTIGATING I FOUND THAT THIS MODEL PRIUS 2010 IN 2013 HAD A RECALL FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM AFFECTING 82000 PEOPLE. UNFORTUNATELY, THE VIN NUMBER OF MY VEHICLE IS NOT IN THIS RANGE THAT REACHES A0067875 AND MINE IS A0205005. I NEED FOR TOYOTA TO EXTEND THE RECALL RANGE BECAUSE THE PROBLEM IS EXACTLY THE SAME AND ALSO HELP ME TO COVER THE COST OF THE REPAIR. AT THIS MOMENT, MY CAR IS PARKED AT HOME BECAUSE IS NOT DRIVABLE. I ALREADY SPOKE WITH TOYOTA HEADQUARTERS AND THEY SAID THAT THEY WILL NOT HELP ME WITH THE COST OF THE REPAIR, IT IS REALLY EXPENSIVE AND IT IS NOT MY FAULT. DOES TOYOTA HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL THERE IS AN ACCIDENT? OR INJURY OR DEAD PEOPLE?

ENGINE BURNING EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF OIL. CAR HAS BEEN REGULARLY SERVICED. LAST NIGHT, I NOTICED THAT THE OIL RESERVOIR LEVEL WAS SO LOW, THE DIP STICK DID NOT EVEN REGISTER IT. I HAD TO ADD 2.5 QUARTS OF OIL BEFORE IT STARTED READING THE OIL LEVEL AGAIN.

VEHICLE SHAKES FOR ABOUT 30 TO 45 SECONDS AND PRODUCE A FOUL SMELL INSIDE THE CABIN IT HAPPENS OFF AND ON AND DEALER REFUSE TO FIX THE PROBLEM.

WE WERE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 70 MILES PER HOUR WHEN THE READING LIGHTS AND DASHBOARD FLASHED ON AND THEN OFF IN A MATTER OF ABOUT 5 SECONDS. THE DASH SHOWED A TRIANGLE INDICATOR LIGHT WITH AN EXCLAMATION POINT. THE DASH ALSO SEEMED TO RESET AND SHOWED THE DISPLAY AS IS THE CAR HAD JUST BEEN TURNED ON. THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED TWICE WITHIN A 4 HOUR PERIOD. ONCE ON THE HIGHWAY AND ONCE ON A BACK ROAD GOING ABOUT 40 MPH. THE CAR DID NOT STOP EITHER TIME, BUT IT IS STILL CONCERNING.

EXITING OFF FREEWAY AT S. MAIN IN WALNUT CREEK CALIFORNIA AT APPX 45MPH BOTH HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT AT THE SAME TIME. COULD NOT BE TURNED ON. INTERIOR HEADLIGHT INDICATOR REMAINED ON BUT HEADLIGHTS REMAINED OFF. HIGHBEAMS WORKED.
