I switched into neutral and pushed the park button to park. i leaned forward to grab my wallet and felt the car accelerating over the parking curb. i immediately slammed the brakes and the car accelerated into a building. i am fortunate to be alive because if the airbag would have activated, i would have broke my neck.
The lining on the deflector rubber gasket/seal of the sunroof has been deteriorating. i have heard from many other prius iii owners that this is a common defect for the 2010-2013 year models. i believe it if is this common, toyota should be responsible for replacing it.
I have a recall on my prius for software and it says on your site that if i have a problem with my invertor they should fix it or repair it for free my car had this problem 1 week ago and my invertor failed and i went to toyota today they gave me an appointment today and they said they contacted toyota japan and the recall got rejected for the invertor part they said i should fix my invertor first then they will do the recall of the software! and it costs 3000 jds here in jordan its too expensive what should i do?
Nhtsa recall #18v-684 i was driving on the street when cheq hibrid sistem sign came on, after i got this masage, i did drove for a while til stop on a safe place, when turning it back on with the break pedal pushed, the sistem did not get a ready light, which means able to move, so i called aaa (a towing service). we went to a west covina toyota dealer. the service man manny told me it maybe is about the recall on this vehicle. when vehicle was ready manny told me on the phone that it was a loose wire and when i got at the dealer he show me a switch (not a wire) that it is imposible to unlock it by it self, it has to be move by a finger in order to unlock it or lock it back on, so my point is that i feel that they are telling me that just to charge me and i believe that they are making this up. i did talk to the manager gary kuftedjian, he got mad at me because i did not want to sit down and told me that i was no respecting him just becuase i did not have a sit, i told him that the issue with the vehicle was the need of the update ( the recall ) not the switch the they said so i told him that i did not have to pay for it and he told me that if i do not pay that i have to leave my vehicle an other day for them to cheq it againg and i said why if the vehicle is ready? and he said to cheq it up again, so i prefer to pay 139.00 dollars and complain about it after... so i did a complain to the toyota head quarters reference # [xxx] i did speak with mrs. beth . if you need more pictures please send me an email so i can send more evidence about this case ...thank you please call me if any as well ..

Problem with braking system involving, the other day the car was on and suddenly three (3) warning lights came on: brake light, abs light and traction control light. there is also now a pumping sound coming from under the interior of the dash (on it at least sounds that is where it's coming from. the car has 151,428 miles on it. i've included pictures of the current eror code, mileage and dash lights that are on.
I just want to know where to go to get checked for recalls i received
I was driving on the freeway, about 65 mph, going to work on 06/12/18 at approximately 9:45 am arizona time. all of a sudden i heard a loud bang (explosion) and looked around my car. i noticed in my rear view mirror black glass flying off the roof of my car. there were other cars around me but no trucks or semi's. i cautiously changed lanes until i could pull off the freeway. when i got out of my car i looked at the roof and found that the sunroof of my car was shattered and had dropped into the area below the roof. i could still hear glass cracking and see it falling into the well under the roof area. i had had the inside shield closed so there was no glass on me. i slowly drove to my local toyota dealership to ask for help. they said that they had never seen this before and that i probably had something hit my roof. i told them that i didn't see anything flying at me and that there were no trucks/semi's around me. then they told me they couldn't do anything but would help me call my insurance company to file a claim. i did (it took state farm over and hour to figure out where to connect me for a glass claim). i had to take it to a body shop and get an estimate, then get it approved, and get a rental car. even at the body shop i could still hear the glass cracking. everyone kept telling me that something must have me but i didn't feel anything when it happened, just the loud bang like an explosion.
Received a warning check hybrid system - it was code poa93. ended getting the inverter pump and radiator replaced do to this code. appears to be a known issue with toyota with there prius's. the car died rolling into a toyota dealer.
Took my car into dealership because of a noise it would make when i started to brake and when i was stopped at a light. the car would also vibrate and shake. the dealership told me the abs actuator needed to be replaced which would cost over 4 grand! i couldn't believe it. i'm scared to drive the car now.
I own a 2012 toyota prius. on the dashboard the brake light, the abs light, and the traction control light are all on. in addition to the warning lights the brake accumulator pump is constantly buzzing without ever stopping. i took the car to our local dealer and i was told that it is a leaky accumulator pump defect. i was also told that this is not a ware and tear item and that it is in fact a faulty item from the manufacture. i called toyota corporate for help but i was told that the car is out of warranty and that there is nothing they can help me with. my main concern is the safety of my family and i really hope that toyota does in fact do a recall on these faulty items as it is a real hazard to safety. ## vin passed ## toyota prius 2012 ##
Excessive oil consumption. when i checked the oil level before the next scheduled oil change, i found no oil on the dipstick. on my last oil change, i was not told i had a problem with my oil consumption. had to buy oil in a hurry as i did not want to drive the car without oil.
2012 toyota prius has been consuming large amounts of oil since 89000 miles. dealer completed an oil consumption test, of course if passed. dealer stated rave4's and camry's have had same issue and they issue recalls. toyota has yet to accept responsibility and replace the pistions to correct the oil consumption.
The design of both honda accord and toyato prius, and likely othernew model cars, makes it very difficult to see when backing up. the back up camera is placed such that it is easily covered with road debri (dirt and snow) so it often useless. the deisgn of windows, seat and camera do not sufficiently allow one to see over ones left shoulder. perhaps this is more because i am barely 5'1:" and the car's safety forbids using a seat cushion to raise me higher. backing up is frightening but many car lots require you to pull in front forward so pulling out when pedestrians might be behind or other cars backing up is a serious problem. i did not have this problem when i drove a 2007 ford ranger or a 1995 le baron convertible. so far i have managed to not have an accident but think cars' designs do not consider this situation sufficiently for safe driving..
Door locking mechanism, security issue, vehicle will not lock due to faulty lock actuator--- may effect other actuators. vehicle stationary and on start up for motion.
My prius was just fine then one day it stalled while i was driving in the middle of the free way. i took my vehicle in to elmore toyota in westminster, ca, they found it had a failed inverter and it was still covered under warranty. it took 2 weeks for them to fix it, but when they returned my car, the slip indicator was now on and would not turn off. they claim it was like that prior to the failed inverter, this was false, my car was running perfect. they then wanted to charge me nearly $1k to fix a problem i did not have prior to failed inverter. i feel the situation was connected but they refuse to cover it.
My passenger side sun visor just completely fell out while driving down the road. it has rarely been used (my car is a 2012 with high miles and most of the time i travel alone). this could have easily caused a distraction or crash. i noticed that there are several complaints about other toyota models / years.
Vehicle is manufactured without any regard for preventing mice from entering the passenger interior--- air intake vent under windshield and 2 rear decompression vents located in the rear cargo compartment above the wheel wells are open to the exterior allowing unimpeded access to the interior of the car. had mice in this car 2 weeks after purchase in 2012 and have been dealing with this problem for 7 years. just recently, had toyota install 1/4" hardware cloth over these 3 areas and this should help significantly to prevent entry. all preventative measures to prevent mice entry have been diligently taken by me, without success. mice can make a person very sick. their excrement carries hantavirus..... and the mice carry ticks, which can lead to lyme disease. simply manufacturing the car with these vents properly screened would greatly reduce the chance of occupants contracting a serious disease.the mice also do a lot of damage to the car itself, in my car the driver seat belt was chewed, and i have had to replace the cabin air filter several times because of nesting in this compartment(after having been unknowingly breathing the mice excrement as the air passes through this filter on its' way to the interior. toyota needs to be pressured by your agency to correct this very serious health hazard that their car is presenting. their is no legitimate reason for this situation to exist. the cost to toyota would be negligible.the benefit to all prius owners would be very significant, likely preventing many cases of disease. please take this situation very seriously, as is the case. i also will be calling you to discuss this over the phone. thank you for your help to correct this problem!
