Problems with 2007 Toyota Prius ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Sometimes when i start my car, the speedometer, fuel level and odometer cluster display goes blank. i do have a speedometer app on my phone. i have used tips from prius owners about how to get the display back on. i still believe this may be a problem for normal drivers. it usually happens when i start the car.

Our daughter was driving our 2007 toyota prius to work in the dark in rush hour on the highway, driving straight, at highway speed, in los angeles, and the instrument panel instantly blacked out, with the car completely dead and halted. it could not even be shifted into neutral! the car stopped right in the middle of the highway. she called 911, and a wrecker was dispatched to lift the car off the freeway. thankfully she was not injured or killed! i then researched the likely cause and diagnosed it exactly. it was the "hybrid water pump" also known as the "inverter pump," part #g9020-47031. that part was recalled in 2012, nhtsa recall # 12v536000. i had it towed to a nearby toyota dealer, north hollywood toyota, to have it repaired. that dealer looked up the vehicle's records and said the recall had been performed in 2013. was it really? if so, then a recalled part that causes a complete, instant blackout on a prius already failed again. the receipt for the repair is attached, including the nhtsa recalled part #. the repair ...

On an intermittent basis, the dash does not light up(speed, gear selections , gas level, etc) when this happens you can not shut the engine off or remove the ignition key which are big safety items when you have to park as you can not lock the doors and all information on the large display does not work or any of the dash display so you have no indication of speed, engine warnings etc. i purchased my 2007 prius from my local county and now they have a 2009 prius with the same problem. all prius should be recalled by toyota, regardless of age and fixed a it is a very dangerous problem. i have searched the internet about this problem and it seems be a problem with the prius. the estimate i have to solve the problem is approximately $1,200 and this should be fixed by toyota as a definite recall safety problem. it is a start, stop problem when you can not shut off the engine or remove the key and while driving no speed indication.

Dashboard troubles shut off and dont show dashight nothing

One headlight on my car keeps shutting off, while the other is fine. i am able to "fix" the issue by turning my headlights off and then turning them on again. dealers initially told me it was because the bulb burned out, but i replaced both at the same time, and it's always the driver's side bulb that "burns out." upon further review on public forums, it appears the bulb is perfectly fine and there's some type of electrical issue/connection problem that causes problems with the bulb. this happens when the vehicle is on and in-motion on any street.

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 toyota prius. the contact stated that the cluster panel went out while driving at any speed. also, the abs and check engine indicators illuminated when the vehicle was started. the vehicle was taken to autonation toyota pinellas park (727-231-1423, located at 8501 us highway 19 north, pinellas park, fl 33781) where it was diagnosed that the abs actuator needed to be replaced. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that there was an unknown recall in 2017. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was approximately 138,000.

Sporadically, the lights on the dashboard will not light up. when this happen the backup camera will not display as well. this doesn't happen often, but when it happens, it is a while before the they will display.

The dashboard don't work sometimes, sometimes tha break light turns on and the breaks stop working it change it self to neutral and the power steering w. get really hard.. all this hapens when the car is in motion on city streets.

Toyota sent the extended warranty notice on the combination meter to the wrong address; therefore, i could not "connect the dots" regarding my dashboard blackout--meaning i thought it was quirky, not a documented problem with the combination meter. my 2007 prius with only 35,000 miles on it needs a replacement combination meter but toyota will not pay for it--claiming it provided an extended warranty. my response is: so what? i am driving a dangerous vehicle which does not indicate the speed i'm driving, the gas supply, the warning lights, and backup camera. i have had the requisite services over the years and the problem is clearly a defect in toyota's manufacturing and supply chain. if toyota really cares about the customer, why won't toyota take responsibility for the failing part and repair my perilous vehicle? the situation is dangerous! i can't lock the car, know for sure when it is turned off, see the warning lights, know if the airbag alert is legit--non-functional all. to replace the failed part will cost near $1000, my monthly social security. think about this pricetag, toyota headquarters and local dealerships. my ...

The instrument panel doesn't show when the car in turned on and the car wouldn't shut off without following alternate shut off instructions. this happened in october 26,2018 and again on december 9,2018. apparently the problem is the combination meter which toyota did a warranty enhancement for 9 years from purchase date which means they won't fix mine unless i pay $800.00 plus tax. since i'm out of their extended warranty. i have less that 100,000. miles. it's dangerous to drive with no display panel not knowing how fast you are going or gas guage and a lot of seniors own this vehicle and can't afford such a costly expense. this should have been a safety recall not a warranty notice.

I was driving my 2007 toyota prius in the middle of the night and all of the sudden all of my lights went out. i was in the middle of a busy road and could not see anything and decide to just pull off the road and hope not to hit anything because i just wanted to get off the road before i got hit by an oncoming car. after i got off the road for awhile i tried the lights and they both worked. i took my prius to a state college, pa dealership and they charged me $450.00 because they said both headlights were out. the next day after i picked my prius from the toyota dealership i went to a grocery store after work and the car would not turn off and the whole dashboard was black.. i called the dealership and said they must have created a short in my car and they said bring it back in. the next day they told me the whole cluster system that controls the dashboard was bad and they would be charging another $680.00.

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 toyota prius. the contact stated that the instrument panel failed to display and the lights failed to illuminate. during the failure, the vehicle would not shut off. the vehicle was taken to the local dealer (bev smith toyota, 5655 s. us hwy 1, stuart, fl) where it was diagnosed that the combination meter needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was also notified. the failure mileage was 106,000.

Dash board goes black! no instrumentation. toyota states there was a recall and i did not respond. i did not receive a recall notice. they refuse to fix the problem. i have emails dating back from 2014.

The 2007 toyota prius touring with 151k on it started experiencing dashboard going blank when power button pressed. the emergency signal and direction signal works but other navigation or main display including speed, fuel gauge and mileage doesn't work. dealer said, it's out of warranty to replace even though it's part of safety warning by toyota before. the vehicle was able to run without dashboard display including break system working but not sure. it's very danger to run this vehicle without dashboard and may run of fuel or go over speed.

Headlights flicker then will shut off completelywhile driving down highway.. no dash lights. have to turn car off and on
