2007 Toyota Prius complaints

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.

TAKA INFLATOR, I WAS IN A CAR ACCIDENT AND NONE OF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. IT WAS HEAD ON ACCIDENT. ALSO MY CAR JUST STARTED TO SPEED UP. I ENDED UP HITTING A BILLBOARD.

MY CAR HAS 115K MILES AND THE ABS ALARM WENT OFF AND THE DEALER SAID THE BRAKE SYSTEM MODULE FAILED AND NEED A NEW ONE AND QUOTE ME $3000. I CAN'T AFFORD THIS SO MY MECHANIC INSTALLED A USED PART AND STILL THE ABS ALARM ON! THIS PART HAS A RECALL THAT EXPIRED IN JAN 2018. CAN TOYOTA DO THIS FOR ME? THE CAR CAN STILL BE DRIVEN FOR A LONG TIME. THIS PART IS SUPPOSED TO LIVE MUCH MORE THAN 115K MILES AND PROBABLY MORE THAN 300K MILES.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING: THE WATER COOLANT PUMP HASN'T BEEN PROPERLY WORKING FOR QUITE SOME TIME NOW. MY AIR AND THE ENGINE POWER ARE BOTH AFFECTED DUE TO A RANDOM ISSUE WITH THIS PART WHILE MY CAR IS BEING DRIVEN. MY AIR CONDITION MOTOR HAS BEEN RECENTLY REPLACED AND ALL MY ENGINE FLUIDS ARE FILLED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA PRIUS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRIM AROUND THE TRUNK LATCH MELTED AND WAS STUCK TO THE VEHICLE, WHICH MADE IT IMPOSSIBLE TO OPEN THE TRUNK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO JAY WOLFE TOYOTA OF WEST COUNTY (LOCATED AT 14700 MANCHESTER RD, BALLWIN, MO 63011) WHERE THE TECHNICIAN BROKE THE LATCH IN AN ATTEMPT TO OPEN THE TRUNK. THE TECHNICIAN GLUED THE LATCH BACK AND STATED THERE WAS NO RECALL. THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 8,000.

BRAKE ACTUATOR MAKING NOISE ALONG WITH 3 DIFFERENT BRAKE LIGHTS ON. TOYOTA PREVIOUSLY HAD A RECALL ON THIS EXACT ISSUE WHICH HAS SINCE ENDED. MANY CARS ARE STILL AT RISK

HEADLIGHTS TURN OFF ON THEIR OWN WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. VERY DANGEROUS !!!

HEADLIGHTS GO OFF WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. VERY DANGEROUS!!

ONE HEADLIGHT TURNS OFF RANDOMLY. EVERY NOW AND AGAIN TURNING THE LIGHTS OFF AND ON AGAIN WILL FIX THE PROBLEM, BUT WHEN YOU'RE DRIVING 70MPH DOWN A DARK HIGHWAY YOU DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO KEEP YOUR FINGERS CROSSED THAT THE LIGHTS WILL COME BACK ON.

HEADLIGHTS FLICKER AND GO OUT EVEN AFTER REPLACING THE RIGHT HEADLIGHT THAT SEEMS TO BE THE PROBLEM. NOT SAFE TO BE GOING D DOWN ROAD AND HEADLIGHTS GO.OUT COMPLETELY. .IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR.NEARLY 6.MONTHS. HAD HEADLIGHT REPLACED 3 MONTHS AGO.

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 BRAKE ACCUATOR ON THE GENERATION 2 TOYOTA PRIUS HAS BECOME FAMOUS FOR FAILING. TOYOTA RAN AN EXTENDED WARRANTY, HOWEVER, DEALERSHIPS IGNORED THE PROBLEM AND INSTEAD FIXED OTHER ISSUES WITHOUT ACTUALLY GOING AFTER THE ACCUATOR UNTIL AFTER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY EXPIRED. NOW MY CAR'S ACCUATOR FOR THE BRAKES IS BAD, AS INDICATED BY WARNING LIGHTS AND ALARMS. I FEAR THAT MY 10 YEAR OLD CAR WILL HAVE A BRAKE FAILURE. THE REPAIR IS ESTIMATED AT OVER $2500 FOR A DEFECTIVE TOYOTA PART. THIS IS UNFAIR THAT TOYOTA MADE A BAD PART THAT CONSISTENTLY FAILS IN THIS MODEL AND THAT THEY DO NOT FIX ALL OF THEM WITH A PROPER RECALL, OR EXCLUDE DRIVERS AFTER NOT RELAYING IMPORTANT INFORMATION. I WAS DRIVING MY CAR DOWN THE STREET WHEN ALL THE LIGHTS CAME ON WARNING ME THAT MY BRAKE SYSTEM WAS FAILING SO I LEFT THE CAR ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND WILL NOT DRIVE IT FURTHER.

IT HAD RAINED OUTSIDE. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO BRAKE MY CAR SLID AND WOULD NOT STOP. THE BRAKES WERE HARD TO PUSH AND SLID AS IF IT WAS ON ICE. WHEN TRYING TO PARK THE CAR IT STOPPED SUDDENLY AS IF I HIT A WALL.

FRONT WHEELS LOOSE ALL TRACTION ON ICY PATCH! TRAVELING NORTH ON AN OLD PAVED COUNTRY ROAD WITH A MODERATE CROWN AND NARROW LANES, I CAME UPON A MODEST BLUFF THAT WAS JUST ABRUPT ENOUGH TO KEEP ME FROM SEEING THE ROAD SURFACE ON THE OTHER SIDE. WITHIN 50' OF THE OTHER SIDE WAS BLOWING SNOW, SOME STICKING AND TURNING INTO ICE. AIR TEMP. 27 DEGREES. DON'T KNOW THE SURFACE TEMP, AND IT WAS SUNNY, NICE. THIS PATCH WAS 500' OR SO AND PROMPTED ME TO REMOVE MY FOOT FROM ACCELERATOR. I WAS APPROACHING 50 MPH, NOT FAST FOR THIS ROAD AND WAS IN NO HURRY. WITHIN THE TIME OF A BREATH, MY FRONT END BLEW SMOOTHLY TOWARD THE DITCH AND ME AND THE PRIUS CAME TO REST WITHIN 30' OR SO. NOW THIS LIGHT TO MODERATE CROSS WIND TOOK CONTROL OF THE FRONT OF THE CAR, 'NOT THE BACK'. THE POINT BEING, REAR WHEELS ARE FREE SPINNING, WHILE FRONT WHEELS HAVE A RATHER AGGRESSIVE BREAKING EFFECT. MIND YOU, NEVER CONSIDERED TOUCHING THE 'BREAKS'. IN ADDITION, I'VE LEARNED THAT DRIVING ON SNOW COVERED TOWN STREETS, THAT IT IS BEST TO POP THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL WHEN APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION AND APPLYING THE SERVICE BRAKES, THIS ACTION WOULD PREVENT THE CAR SLIPPING OR SLIDING AT ALL. (3 MO. OLD MICHELIN DEFENDER TIRES) NOT DEDICATED SNOW TIRES, BUT IN MY EXPERIENCE, VERY GOOD. THIS TOWN I LIVE IN HAS VERY STEEP GRADES, I'M ABLE TO NEGOTIATE ALL OF IT COMING AND GOING. I BELIEVE THIS INCIDENT (STATE FARM CLAIM #[XXX]) WAS CAUSED BY THE OVERLY AGGRESSIVE REGENERATIVE BREAKING ACTION WHEN REMOVING ONES FOOT FROM

BRAKE ACTUATOR FAILED WITHOUT WARNING ON THE HIGHWAY. DIFFICULT TO BRAKE. VERY DANGEROUS

TAKATA RECALL 1. DRIVING ON SURFACE STREET AT APPROX. 45 MPH ATTEMPTING TO SLOW DOWN FOR AN INTERSECTION ALL THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON, WHILE I WAS APPLYING THE BRAKES THEY HAD FAILED, EVENTUALLY THE VEHICLE CAME TO A STOP. AFTER THAT INCIDENT THE BRAKES ARE WORKING NORMAL. APPARENTLY THERE WAS A RECALL TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE AND IT IS NO LONGER VALID, I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF THE RECALL AND THE DEALERSHIP THAT I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM (USED) NEVER NOTIFIED ME OF ANY RECALLS. I AM A TOYOTA OWNER WITH A DEFECTED VEHICLE (A KNOWN DEFECT BY THE MANUFACTURE). WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS? 2. THE HEADLAMPS (LEFT) INTERMITTENTLY GOES OUT, I HAVE REPLACED THE LAMP, CHECKED THE FUSES AND IT STILL HAPPENS, OTHERS HAVE DESCRIBED LOOSING BOTH LAMPS. BOTH ISSUES ABOVE ARE SAFETY ISSUES THAT CAN CONTRIBUTE TO SERIOUS INJURY INCIDENTS. THESE SAFETY ISSUE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY TOYOTA.

EVERY DAY THE HEADLIGHTS GO OUT RANDOMLY AT NIGHT. VERY DANGEROUS.

FIRST ISSUE IS WITH THE REAR LATCH BEING USELESS SOMETIMES DEPENDING ON THE WEATHER AS THE MOLDING IS ALL MELTED AND ACCESS TO THE TRUNK BEING IMPOSSIBLE. SECOND AND MOST IMPORTANT I'VE NOTICED THE BRAKING ON THIS CAR IS VERY VERY SUSPECT. PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE AROUND 6 MONTHS AGO FROM WESTBURY TOYOTA AND I'VE LEARNED I NEED TO APPLY MY BRAKES AT LEAST A GOOD 50 TO 100 FEET BEFORE THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. COUPLE MONTHS AGO THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME BRAKED SO SUDDEN THAT I ALSO HIT MY BRAKES, THE ABS SIGN FLASHED AS IF IT "WAS" WORKING BUT THE CAR JUST KEPT GOING, I ENDED UP PRESSING THE BRAKE ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND STILL NO RESULT. IF I HADN'T KEPT MY DISTANCE I WOULD'VE DEFINITELY ENDED UP IN THAT CARS TRUNK. I CAN SAY FROM ALL MY EXPERIENCE AS A DRIVER AND ALL THE CARS I'VE OWNED THIS CAR HAS THE WORST BRAKING SYSTEM IN THE HISTORY OF MOTOR VEHICLES. FEELS LIKE BRAKING A 747 PLANE. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS BRAKING

MY HEADLIGHT CONSISTENTLY FLICKERS ON AND OFF. I HAVE CHANGED MY BULB, BUT IT CONTINUES TO TURN OFF AT TIMES. FROM MY RESEARCH ONLINE, IT LOOKS LIKE THE 2007-2009 PRIUS MODELS WERE RECALLED DUE TO FAULTY HEADLIGHTS.

IN FEB 2018 I NOTICED THAT SEVERAL LIGHTS CAME ON IN MY CAR THE VSC, ABS, AND PRESSURE SENSOR LIGHT LIT UP. ALSO THE BRAKE INDICATOR LIGHT. I HAD RECENTLY WENT FOR AND INSPECTION ON MY CAR IN JAN AND HAD BRAKES REPLACED AT MY LOCAL MONROE PRIOR TO THIS HAPPENING SO I QUESTIONED THEM ON WHAT ALL THE LIGHTS MEANT AND THEY LOOKED ON LINE AND SAW THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE BRAKE ACTUATOR FOR MY CAR. THEY ADVISED ME TO GO TO THE TOYOTA DEALER. I WENT TO THE DEALER IN A FEW WEEKS LATER IN MAR AND THEY EXPLAINED THAT THERE WAS A LETTER SENT TO PRIUS OWNERS STATING THEY EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON BRAKE ACTUATORS UNTIL END OF 2017. THEY HAVE IT IN TWO PHASES, AND IT'S UNLIMITED MILES UNTIL DEC 2017 FOR THE FIRST PHASE, THEN AFTER THAT IT'S 150K MILES/10 YEARS. IT ALSO SAYS THE RED TRIANGLE LIGHT MUST BE ON FOR IT TO BE COVERED (IN OTHER WORDS, IT'S ONLY COVERED IF IT FAILS.) I NEVER RECEIVED THIS LETTER AND THE EXCEED THE 150K MILES BY 5K AND YEARS. THE CSR REP SAID HE WOULD SHE IF THEY COULD HONOR IT BEING THAT IT WAS SO EARLY IN THE 2018 YEAR ONLY A FEW MONTHS PASS THE DEADLINE BUT THE MANAGER ON SITE DECLINED AND TOLD ME TO CONTACT TOYOTA CUSTOMER CARE. THE DEALER QUOTED ME $3,500.00 TO GET THIS REPLACED. I CONTACTED TOYOTA AND OF COURSE THEY SAID THERE IS NOTHING THEY COULD DO BECAUSE THE LETTER STIPULATED A SPECIFIC TIME FRAME OF SERVICE. MY ISSUE IS THAT I #1 NEVER RECEIVED A LETTER ABOUT THIS RECALL/EXTENDED WARRANTY #2 I BROUGHT THIS CAR AT A DEALER CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED TOYOT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA PRIUS. WHEN THE CONTACT ENTERED THE VEHICLE AND PUSHED THE START BUTTON, HE HAD TO HOLD THE BUTTON FOR 3 TO 10 SECONDS BEFORE THE VEHICLE STARTED. OCCASIONALLY, ALL THE INDICATORS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL FAILED TO FUNCTION, WHICH PREVENTED THE CONTACT FROM KNOWING HOW FAST HE WAS TRAVELING AND THE AMOUNT OF FUEL IN THE VEHICLE. TOYOTA WALNUT CREEK (2100 N BROADWAY, WALNUT CREEK, CA 94596) STATED THAT THE COMBINATION METER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THAT THE EXTENDED WARRANTY EXPIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS ALSO CONTACTED, BUT WAS UNABLE TO PROVIDE ANY FURTHER ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 125,000.

THE BRAKE ACTUATOR WENT OUT OCTOBER OF 2018. I TOOK THIS CAR TO BE QUOTED FOR A PART AND THE PART AND LABOR ARE $2500. THIS CAR IS UNSAFE TO OPERATE WITHOUT STOPPING POWER. THIS IS NOT A RARE PROBLEM FOR THE TOYOTA PRIUS IN 2007. I KNOW THAT MANY OTHER PEOPLE COMPLAIN ABOUT RECEIVING THE $2500 OR HIGHER BILL OF REPAIR. TOYOTA SHOULD EXTEND THE WARRANTY FOR THIS EXPENSIVE REPAIR. A BATTERY REPAIR IS EXPECTED TO HAPPEN, BUT THIS REPAIR IS ALMOST AS MUCH AS A BATTERY AND MAKES THE PRIUS NOT WORTH BUYING. THE VEHICLE ABS, RED TRIANGLE MASTER LIGHT, VSC, AND BRAKE LIGHT ALL TURNED ON AT ONCE AFTER A DRIVE OF 60MPH ON THE HIGHWAY. AFTER SKIDDING TO A STOP, I COULD CAUSED AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THIS SYSTEM FAILURE. THIS IS AN EXPENSIVE AND DANGEROUS PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED.

I HAVE A TOYOTA PRIUS 2007, 283950 MILES , SAFETY RECALL ZG1 ENDED ON DEC2017. THE SYMPTOMS ON THIS RECALL IS NOT CONTSTANT BEFORE IN MY CAR, BUT NOW IT STAYS ON ALL THE TIME . THE BRAKE ACTUATOR IS MAKING A LOT OF NOISE, I'M AFRAID IT'S GOING TO FAIL ON ME WHEN I NEEDED IT THE MOST . CAN YOU RECOMMEND TOYOTA TO EXTEND IT SOME MORE ?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA PRIUS. THE CONTACT STARTED THE VEHICLE AND COULD NOT SHUT OFF THE ENGINE. DAYTONA TOYOTA (451 N NOVA RD, DAYTONA BEACH, FL 32114, (386) 255-7475) STATED THAT THERE WAS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE VEHICLE THAT EXPIRED IN 2016. THE CONTACT WAS NOT INFORMED OF THE WARRANTY AT THE TIME. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 91,998. *TT *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA PRIUS. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL INDICATORS ILLUMINATED, INCLUDING THE ABS INDICATOR. IN ADDITION, THE BRAKES LOST POWER AND DID NOT STOP THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT SLAMMED ON THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE RECURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CLEARWATER TOYOTA (800-667-9051, LOCATED AT 21799 US HWY 19 N, CLEARWATER, FL 33765) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO THE DEALER, STATING THAT THE WARRANTY EXPIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 130,000.

SQUEALING BRAKE ACTUATOR. OCCURS WHEN CAR IS STOPPED, IN GEAR, BRAKE PEDAL PUSHED DOWN. THIS IS AN INDICATOR ACTUATOR IS FAILING, CAUSING COMPLETE LOSS OF BRAKES.

THE REAR HATCH IS EXTREMELY HARD TO OPEN IN THE SUMMER AND NOW IN THE WINTER EVEN HARDER. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. MY CAR IS PARKED UNDER A CARPORT WINTER AND SUMMER. I HAVE LESS THAN 80,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. I NEED TO BE ABLE TO GET IN THE REAR HATCH TO CHANGE A TIRE OR GET A FIRE EXTINGUISHER IN CASE OF EMERGENCY AND I SOMETIMES CAN'T GET IT TO OPEN. IS THERE SOME WAY TOYOTA CAN HELP MAKE THIS RIGHT. THE RUBBER PART THAT YOU PRESS IS HARDER THAN A STICK AND WON'T RELEASE. THIS HAPPENS SOME TIMES AT THE GROCERY STORE PARKING LOT OR AT ANY STORE PARKING LOT. SOMETIMES IT HAPPENS WHEN I ARRIVE HOME AND CAN'T GET MY GROCERIES OUT BECAUSE THE HATCH WON'T LET IT RELEASE. IS THIS A DEFECT THAT CAN BE CORRECTED?

MY BRAKE ACTUATOR IS GOING BAD, I HAVE E-BRAKE LIGHT ON ALWAYS, AS WELL AS VSC, ABS, AND ((!)) LIGHTS ON THE DASH. THIS HAPPENED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AND NOT THE LIGHTS DO NOT GO OFF AND THE BRAKE ACTUATOR IS CONSTANTLY MAKING NOISE AND RUNNING.

THE WARNING LIGHTS IS SHOWING UP ON MY DASHBOARD ABS,VSC,BRAKE LIGHT AND A CIRCLE IS COMING UP ON MY DASHBOARD.

MY BRAKE ACTUATOR IS GOING BAD, I HAVE E-BRAKE LIGHT ON ALWAYS, AS WELL AS VSC, ABS, AND ((!)) LIGHTS ON THE DASH. THIS HAPPENED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AND NOT THE LIGHTS DO NOT GO OFF AND THE BRAKE ACTUATOR IS CONSTANTLY MAKING NOISE AND RUNNING. I TOOK THIS VEHICLE FOR AN INSPECTION AT THE TOYOTA DEALER AND THEY NEVER MENTIONED ANYTHING ABOUT A RECALL FOR THIS VEHICLE, SO AS IT TURNS OUT THE PART IS FAILING AND THE BRAKES MIGHT NOT WORK AT ANY GIVEN POINT. TOYOTA WANTS $2,000+ TO FIX THIS ISSUE WHEN IT SHOULDN'T BE AN ISSUE IN THE FIRST PLACE!

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 SAFETY IS SEVERELY JEOPARDIZED. PLEASE WORK TO RECALL THESE IMPACTED VEHICLES. THAT MY PRIUS HAS BEEN SERVICED EVERY SINGLE YEAR ACCORDING TO SCHEDULE, THAT THIS MYSTERIOUS DARK SCREEN HAS BEEN POPPING UP FOR YEARS, AND THAT TOYOTA SENT THE NOTICE OF EXTENDED WARRANTY TO THE WRONG ADDRESS SHOULD DEMONSTRATE WHERE THE CULPABILITY LIES. TOYOTA SHOULD TAKE O

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.

BREAKING NOISE BEHIND DRIVER DASHBOARD SIMILIAR TO WHIRRING OR MOTOR SOUND, COMES ON WETHER THE BRAKES ARE PRESSED OR NOT DRIVING OR STATIONARY... VERY BOTHERSOME, BREAKS ALSO HAVE BARK SOUND AT TIMES WHEN PRESSED DOWN. WENT TO DEALER AND WAS DISMISSED AS IT BEING NORMAL, CALLED TOYOTA AND THEY ARE UNWILLING TO WORK ON A REPAIR. PLEASE ADVISE

BRAKE FAILURE IN THE ABS MODULE SYSTEM.

HEADLIGHTS CONSTANTLY GOING OUT WHILE DRIVING. I DO NOT OPERATE THE LIGHTS IN DAYTIME. IT'S A MAJOR FLAW AND PROBLEM WITH THIS 2006-2009 MODEL AND A SAFETY HAZARD. NOT TO MENTION I AM ALMOST ALWAYS SUBJECT TO POLICE ISSUES TICKETS AND FINES. I HAVE REPLACED MY BULBS COUNTLESS TIMES. THE LIGHTS GO OUT WHILE STATIONARY AND IN MOTION. ALWAYS ONE AT A TIME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA PRIUS. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STALLED AND FAILED TO OPERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO TOYOTA ROCKWALL (1250 E. INTERSTATE 30, ROCKWALL, TX) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE HYBRID WATER PUMP WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE WATER PUMP WAS REPLACED AND THE FAILURE WAS REMEDIED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 214,000. *TT*JB

FRONT HEADLIGHT (BOTH) SOMETIMES ALL LIGHTS WILL GO OFF. MOST OF THE TIME IT IS ONE OR THE OTHER BUT I HAVE HAD IT HAPPEN WHERE BOTH COMPLETELY TURN OFF WHILE DRIVING. ON THE FREEWAY!!! THIS HAPPENS DAILY AND IVE EVEN BEEN PULLED OVER MORE THAN 3 TIMES DUE TO ME NOT KNOWING ABOUT A LIGHT OUT! TURNING ON AND OFF THE LIGHTS IS ONLY A TEMPORARY FIX!

WHILE DRIVING (IN MOTION), ONE HEADLIGHT (EITHER RIGHT OR LEFT) WILL SUDDENLY GO OFF. IF I TURN BOTH LIGHTS OFF AND BACK ON, THEY WILL BOTH COME BACK ON. BUT ONE OR THE OTHER MIGHT GO OFF AGAIN SOON AFTERWARDS. IT SOMETIMES HAPPENS ON SHORT TRIPS (A FEW BLOCKS) AND SOMETIMES ONLY AFTER DRIVING SEVERAL MILES. IT HAPPENS ON NEIGHBORHOOD STREETS AND ON THE HIGHWAY, WHILE GOING STRAIGHT. SOMETIMES IT HAPPENS AFTER A NOTICEABLE BUMP IN THE ROAD, BUT OTHER TIMES IT HAPPENS WHEN THE ROAD IS SMOOTH. IT HAPPENS AT SLOW SPEED (<30 MPH), MEDIUM, OR HIGHWAY SPEED.

ONE OF THE HEADLIGHTS KEEPS GOING OUT. I CAN'T REALLY TELL WHEN OR HOW IT GOES OUT SINCE I CAN'T SEE IT. I'LL NOTICE IT WHEN I SEE THE REFLECTION IN THE BACK OF ANOTHER CAR. IF I TURN THE BRIGHT LIGHTS ON AND OFF IT HAS NO EFFECT, BUT WHEN I TURN THEM ALL THE WAY OFF AND BACK ON THE LIGHT COMES BACK. SOMETIMES ON LONG TRIPS IT WILL STAY ON THE WHOLE TIME, SOMETIMES IT WON'T. SOMETIMES ON SHORT TRIPS IT WILL GO OUT, SOMETIMES IT WON'T. IT IS NOT AN EVENT I CAN MAKE HAPPEN

COMBINATION METER DISPLAY FAILURE. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE IN WHICH THE INSTRUMENTATION PANEL AND CRUISE CONTROL CEASE TO FUNCTION. THE CAR MAY ALSO NOT TURN OFF WITHOUT GOING THROUGH ELABORATE PROCEDURES. IT IS SERIOUSLY DANGEROUS IN THAT THE SPEEDOMETER AND THE FUEL GAUGE DO NOT DISPLAY. TOYOTA IS AWARE OF THIS DEFECTIVE OMPONENT AND ISSUED AN "ENHANCED WARRANTY" TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM, BUT ONLY IF THE PROBLEM MANIFESTED ITSELF WITHIN THE DEFINED PERIOD OF THE ENHANCED WARRANTY.. FOR THOSE PRIUS OWNERS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS LIFE-THREATENING FLAW AFTER THE ENHANCED WARRANTY PERIOD ELAPSED, THE ONLY RECOURSE IS TO DRIVE AN UNSAFE VEHICLE OR TO PAY FOUR FIGURES FOR A REPAIR. A COMPONENT THAT IS KNOW TO BE DEFECTIVE SHOULD BE REPLACED FREE OF CHARGE AT ANY TIME IF IT INVOLVES SAFETY.

BOTH FRONT HEADLIGHTS FREQUENTLY TURN OFF AT THE SAME TIME WHILE DRIVING. TURNING THE LIGHTS OFF THEN ON FIXES THE ISSUE TEMPORARILY, UNTIL IT HAPPENS AGAIN A SHORT TIME LATER. THIS HAPPENS MULTIPLE TIMES PER HOUR.

DRIVING CAR ON THE FREEWAY IN THE FAR LEFT LANE. E-BRAKE LIGHT TURNED ON WITH THE LOUD ALARM SOUND AS IF I HAD ACTIVATED MY E-BRAKE. I LOST SIGNIFICANT BREAKING POWER AND WAS VERY LUCKY NOBODY STOPPED FAST IN FRONT OF ME WHILE IT HAPPENED. I HAD NO IDEA WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS, BUT IT WAS VERY SCARY ON THE FREEWAY NOT BEING ABLE TO BREAK PROPERLY. I LEARNED IT WAS THE ABS ACTUATOR THAT HAD FAILED, WAS TOLD MY WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED BUT I HAD NO IDEA THERE EVEN WAS A RECALL. IF THEY KNEW THIS WAS AN ISSUE WHY WAS IT NOT FIXED WHEN I HAD MY CAR SERVICED? PT#04003-44647

MY CAR HAD NOT EXHIBITED PREVIOUS PROBLEMS WITH BREAKING. UPON LEAVING SCHOOL, THE ABS, VSC, AND EMERGENCY BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON ACCOMPANIED BY A LONG, LOUD, AND CONTINUOUS BEEP. I PULED OVER INTO A PARKING LIGHT AND IT ALL STOPPED. I WAS CLOSE TO HOME AND DECIDED TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE AS THE CAR SEEMED TO BE FINE NOW. UPON APPROACHING A STOP LIGHT, MY CAR PUT ITSELF IN NEUTRAL AND COMPRESSED THE BRAKE ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. I WAS UNABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE, AND HAD TO RUN IT INTO A CURB IN ORDER TO AVOID HITTING THE STOPPED VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. I HAD IT TOWED TO A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THE ABS ACTUATOR WAS FAILING. UPON CALLING TOYOTA CUSTOMER CARE, I WAS NOTIFIED OF AN ENHANCED WARRANTY THAT EXISTED THROUGH 12/31/17. HOWEVER, I NEVER RECEIVED AN NOTICE OF THIS WARRANTY NOR HAD MY VEHICLE HAD ANY PROBLEMS PRIOR TO 12/31/17 THAT WOULD SUGGEST TO ME THAT THE CAR'S ABS NEEDED SERVICED. I AM UNABLE TO SAFELY DRIVE MY VEHICLE AND DESPITE TOYOTA'S NEGLIGENCE IN COMMUNICATING THE DEFECT IN THEIR PRODUCT TO ME, THEY REFUSE TO CORRECT THE SITUATION.

THE BRAKES ON THIS CAR SOMETIMES QUIT WORKING FOR A SECOND WHEN BRAKING OVER BUMPS.

WE HAVE A 2007 TOYOTA PRIUS AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD WILL NOT SHUT OFF. IT HAS NOT BEEN IN AN ACCIDENTAND I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS A SAFETY RECALL FOR THIS. IT DRIVES FINE, I'M JUST WORRIED THAT SOMETHING BAD WILL HAPPEN. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM FOR ABOUT 2-3 MONTHS.

IT WAS A SCARY SITUATION ON 08/08/2018, MY '07 TOYOTA PRIUS 2 FAILED TO STOP WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKE TO STOP AND PARK INSTEAD IT ACCELERATED. DRIVING THROUGH THE PARKING LOT OF SEAFOOD CITY IN CERRITOS, CA, LOOKING FOR AN OPEN SPOT, I MAINTAINED PRESSURE ON THE BRAKE PEDAL TO KEEP A SAFE SPEED. APPROACHING AN OPEN SPOT, I CONTINUED TO KEEP PRESSING THE BRAKE WHILE ENTERING THE SPACE. AS I WAS STRAIGHTENING MY STEERING WHEEL AND APPLYING A HARDER BRAKE TO STOP, I FELT THE CAR ACCELERATE FORWARD, CAUSING MY INSTINCTIVE REACTION TO APPLY EVEN MORE BRAKING PRESSURE ON THE PEDAL. THE CAR CONTINUED FORWARD UNCONTROLLABLY, JUMPING THE CURB OF AN ISLAND, HITTING AND KNOCKING OVER A PALM TREE (APPROXIMATELY 15' TALL) ONTO A PARKED VEHICLE (CAR #2) TO THE IMMEDIATE LEFT OF THE VEHICLE DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF ME (CAR #1). MY VEHICLE DROVE UP THE TREE AND CAME TO A SHORT REST ON TOP OF THE HOOD OF CAR #1, WHERE MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE THE WHOLE TIME. IMMEDIATELY AFTER STOPPING, AND REALIZING THAT I WAS STILL APPLYING A HARD BRAKE, TRYING TO GAIN CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE, THE VEHICLE BEGAN ROLLING BACKWARDS DOWN THE TREE AND OFF OF THE HOOD OF CAR #1. THE CAR DIDN'T STOP ROLLING BACKWARD DESPITE MY FOOT WAS PRESSING HARD ON THE BRAKE. IT WAS THE COUSIN OF THE OWNER OF CAR #2 WHO REACHED AND PRESSED THE STOP WHERE THAT'S THE ONLY TIME MY CAR STOPPED ROLLING AND CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. IT WAS THE WORST FEELING AS I WAS NOT IN CONTROL OF THE CAR AS THE BRAKE DIDN'T WORK. I WAS SO SHAKEN, ME AND

THE BRAKES DID NOT RESPOND WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT 65 MPH, AND THE CAR STARTED MAKING A LONG SUSTAINED HIGH-PITCHED ELECTRONIC BEEP. THE LIGHTS FOR THE PARKING BRAKE, ABS, AND ANOTHER LIGHT I'M UNFAMILIAR WITH WERE ON. WHEN I PUMPED ON THE BRAKES, THEY FELT UNRESPONSIVE. I TRIED AGAIN BUT KEEPING DOWN ON THE BRAKE AND IT WAS VERY SLOW TO RESPOND. I MANAGED TO GET OFF THE FREEWAY. AT SLOWER SPEEDS I WAS ABLE TO GET THE BRAKES TO WORK, BUT SLOWING DOWN EVEN FROM LESS THAN 20 MPH TOOK SEVERAL YARDS. I CALLED TOYOTA AND THEY SAID IT WAS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE BRAKE ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY, BUT THE WARRANTY EXPIRED IN DECEMBER 2017. AS THE OWNER OF THE CAR, I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED ABOUT THIS KNOWN ISSUE, AND NOT TOLD ABOUT THE WARRANTY, EVEN THOUGH I HAD BEEN TAKING MY CAR TO THE TOYOTA DEALER FOR SCHEDULED SERVICE. THE PART ITSELF IS OVER $2000, BEFORE LABOR, WHICH I CANNOT AFFORD. SO I CAN NO LONGER DRIVE THE CAR BECAUSE I CANNOT AFFORD THE REPAIRS. AND I NEARLY DIED DRIVING WITH A KNOWN SAFETY ISSUE THAT I BELIEVE SHOULD HAVE WARRANTED A FULL SAFETY RECALL.

MY BRAKES HAVE BEGUN TO MAKE SEVERAL DIFFERENT NOISES. UPON RESEARCHES I FOUND THAT THE BRAKE ACTUATORS ARE KNOWN TO FAIL. I'M SCARED TO DRIVE THE CAR AS IT WOULD BE VERY DANGEROUS IF MY BRAKES GO OUT ON THE FREE WAY.

THE BACK LATCH TO THE TRUNK/HATCH IS DEFECTIVE. THE RUBBER EXTERIOR PART HAS MELTED AND IS ALL GOOEY AND STICKY. IN THE WINTER TIME IT FREEZES. WE ARE UNABLE TO OPEN OR USE THE TRUNK. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND ALSO CAN NOT ACCESS SPARE OR COMPARTMENT. THIS IS A FAULTY PART AND THERE HAVE BEEN THOUSANDS OF SIMILAR REPORTS. I WOULD LIKE THIS FIXED AS IS A MANUFACTURING FLAW AND DEFECT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA PRIUS. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE DRIVER'S SIDE HEADLIGHT FLICKERED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT ALSO MENTIONED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS HAD TO BE MANUALLY TURNED OFF AND ON TO FUNCTION NORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.
