Problems with 2010 Toyota Prius POWER TRAIN

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.

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". ...

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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/

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!

When i am coming to a stop (braking normally) and hit a bump, the car surges slightly and the brakes become less responsive. it feels like i'm fighting the engine as it accelerates and i'm trying to brake against it. releasing the brake and attempting again seems to be a solution, but i often don't have time before reaching the intersection i'm approaching. this consistently happens in two places in my daily commute with a slight buckle in the road approaching an intersection on city streets and county roads.

I've had two toyota prius in my lifetime, a 2005 and a 2010 toyota prius, both have had the same issue where the engine would eat up all of my oil, i would have an oil change done and less than 2 weeks later i would have to check the oil gauge rod and find that the oil levels were below the bottom line, almost empty! the engine would be burning oil at such an alarming rate that i would repeatedly bring the vehicle to toyota for oil changes. i'm very unsatisfied with my toyota priuses. my car is currently at 166,384 miles and the engine cylinder has now given way and also the hybrid battery. i've gone only to toyota dealerships to have pristine consecutive service and no third party repair facilities have provided service. i am located in souther california in san diego. i have spoken to many other toyota prius owners and if you do a google search online as of (04/10/17) "toyota prius engine oil consumption" you'll find many forums with "excessive consumption" from many other users. once you reach past the 140,000 mile mark, your car is pretty much done. consider buying a new ...

My 2010 toyota prius iv has 98,731 miles on it. the engine and power train malfunctioned during a cold start so i had to take it into the toyota dealer. it had to be towed to the dealership on a flat-bed tow truck because the car transaxle/transmission was locked in the drive position, would not go into neutral, and the car engine would not start rev above an idle. when i attempted to start it the engine acted like it was misfiring very badly and rattled very badly. it sounded like the engine was not getting any oil circulation so i didn't attempt any more cold starts. i could not get the engine into neutral or any other gear so i had it towed to the dealership. when the car was at the dealership i went through my records and found a letter titled 'warranty enhancement program notification - zf3' that i had received several years previous. the document extended my primary coverage until 31 march 2017 due to a potential faulty exhaust gas recirculation (egr) valve. 'a faulty egr valve would cause the engine to rough idle/rattle from the transaxle at ...
