2015 Toyota Prius complaints

When I looked up my car on Kelly Blue Book for pricing, it said that it has been recalled as of 2020. I was not aware of this at all and could have got into a serious accident. I recently purchased a 2015 Toyota Prius Hybrid in February and not even my saleswoman told me that it has been recalled. It has a sleuth of issues that came with it.

HEADLAMP HAS GONE OUT 3 TIMES, MARKER LIGHT 2 TIMES. EXISTING RECALL ON PREVIOUS YEAR PRIUS SHOULD BE EXTENDED TO 2015 MODELS

I RECEIVED A LONG TECHNICAL LETTER FROM TOYOTA WITH MY VIN NUMBER WARNING ME OF A POSSIBLE FAILURE OF THE INTELLIGENT POWER MODULE IN MY 2015 PRIUS. IT SAYS THIS IS NOT A RECALL, BUT RATHER AN ADVISEMENT OF A VOLUNTARY CUSTOMER PROGRAM THAT HAS BEEN INITIATED FOR MY VEHICLE. IT SAYS THAT IF I HAVE THE INCLUDED SYMPTOMS, TO BRING IT IN FOR EVALUATION, AND A REPAIR WILL BE ATTEMPTED, BUT IF THE PROBLEM IS NOT THE IPM, I WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR THE INVESTIGATION. THIS SOUNDS MOST UNFAIR. I DO NOT HAVE THE SKILLS TO MAKE THE NECESSARY DETERMINATION. I CALLED MY LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD HAVE SOMEONE CALL ME BACK, BUT NO ONE HAS CALLED!

ANYTIME I CHANGE ELEVATIONS THE ENGINE SEEMS TO REV WHEN IT IS IDLING ON CRUISE CONTROL. ON THE DOWNHILL, THE CAR WILL ACCELLERATE TO IGNORE THE SPEED ON CRUISECONTROL TO DANGEROUS HIGH VELOCITY. I REPORTED THIS TO TOYOTA OF NORTH HOLLYWOOD THREE TIMES... IT WAS NEVER ADDRESSED.

BRAKES FAILED TO SLOW OR STOP VEHICLE AT ?20 MPH; DRIVING ON A SIDE STREET. NO WARNING LIGHTS WERE ACTIVE THAT MORNING. CRASH INTO TELEPHONE PHONE RESULTED IN "TOTALED" CAR. THERE WAS BROKEN BRANCHES ON ROAD AND SOME MUD; CAR MAY HAVE SKIDDED. MY WIFE SAYS THE CAR SEEMED TO SPEED UP BEFORE THE CRASH

STARTED HEARING GRINDING AND SCREECHING NOISES FROM UNDERNEATH THE HOOD AFTER A 125 MILE DRIVE TO SAN FRANCISCO. THE FOLLOWING DAY VEHICAL STARTED BUT GRINDING NOISE PERSISTED WHILE VEHICAL WAS PARKED IDLING.DORVE TO THE STOE AND ON THE WAY BACK HOME THE CAR STALLED ON THE HIGHWAY. COULD NOT GET IT TO TURN BACK ON SO I PUSHED IT OFF THE HIGHWAY. ERROR MESSAGE ON DASH MENTIONED SOMETHING ABOUT AN ERROR WITH THE HYBRID SYSTEM.

105K MILAGE. DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 45MPH AND CAR SUDDENLY JERK AND SLOWED TO ABOUT 10/15MPH. LOST ELECTRIC POWER, ABLE TO ONLY CONTINUE DRIVING ON GAS 10/15MPH. TOYOTA HAD TO REPLACE THE FOLLOWING WHICH THEY INDICATE WAS NOT UNDER WARRENTLY WHICH COST $2642. TRANSISTER KIT, POWE PLUE KIT, INVERTER D GREASE SUPER LONG LIFE COOL GASKET

I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE WHEN MY CAR'S HYBRID SYSTEM WARNING LIGHTS A CAME ON , AND THE CAR SLOWED TO A CRAWL. LUCKILY I WAS IN THE RIGHT LANE AND WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF ON THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. THE CAR COMPETELY SHUT DOWN. I'VE HAD IT TOWED TO TWO TOYOTA DEARLSHIPS, (THE SAME ONE TWICE),WHERE I WAS TOLD A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT THINGS. FIRST, I WAS TOLD THERE WAS WATER IN THE GAS TANK. THERE WAS NO WAY THAT WAS TRUE, SINCE I HAD ALREADY DRIVEN 3/4'S OF A TANK OF GAS, AND I ALWAYS FILL MY TANK UP. I REFUSED TO HAVE A NEW FUEL SYSTEM PUT IN TO THE TUNE OF $2500. I HAD IT TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP, AND WHERE HE GOT 5 GALLONS OF WATER OUT OF THE TANK. I ONLY HAD ABOUT 3 GALLONS OF GAS IN THE CAR TO BEGIN WITH, AND I KNOW I DIDN'T PUT WATER IN THE TANK.THE HYBRID SYSTEM SEALS HAD NEVER BEEN BROKEN, SO THE DEALERSHIP DIDN'T EVEN CHECK THAT OUT, EVEN THOUGH THE WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON REGARDING THE HYBRID SYSTEM. VERY FISHY...THE NEXT DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THERE WAS WATER IT AND IT NEEDED TO BE DRAINED AND FUEL REPLACED, EVEN THOUGHT THAT HAD JUST BEEN DONE. THEY SENT ME A PHOTO OF A COKE BOTTLE WITH ABOUT 1/4 CUP OF FUEL WATER MIX. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT THE HYBRID BATTERY SYSTEM WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY SINCE AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP DRAINED THE FUEL SYSTEM.THE CAR'S BATTERIES WERE STILL UNDER WARRANTY, SINCE IT WAS UNDER 100,000 MILES. WE SENT IT BACK TO THE FIRST DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY NOW SAID IT WAS A FAILED ENGINE WHICH WOULD COST $10,000 TO REPLACE. (MORE THAT THE

I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE NEW IN 2025 AND I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING BRAKE FAILURE ISSUES EVERY TIME I ATTEMPTED TO BRAKE OVER EITHER A POTHOLE, A SLICK SURFACE LIKE A METAL SHEET AT ROAD CONSTRUCTION OR WET ROADS THE BRAKE WOULD FAIL. ALL THE RED WARNING SIGNS WOULD COME ON IN THE DASHBOARD AND THE BRAKES WOULD MAKE THAT LOUD HORRIBLE NOISE. I LOVE MY PRIUS, I DON'T WANT TO GET RID OF IT. I WAS HOPING TOYOTA MOTORS WOULD HAVE A FIXED FOR THE BRAKING SYSTEM BY NOW AS THIS IS VERY UNSAFE SPECIALLY INEXPERIENCED DRIVERS. MY GOAL IS TO PASS THIS CAR TO MY TEENAGE DAUGHTER WHEN SHE GOES TO COLLEGE IN 2021, BUT THIS MAY NOT BE POSSIBLE IF TOYOTA DOESN'T TO UP WITH A SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM.

THE PRIUS WAS STATIONARY, PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY OF OUR HOUSE. MY TEENAGE DAUGHTER WAS IN THE CAR WASHING THE WINDSHIELD AND WINDOWS ON THE INSIDE AND ACCIDENTALLY BUMPED THE GEARBOX (SHIFTER). THE CAR WENT OUT OF PARK AND INTO NEUTRAL AND ROLLED BACKWARD. THE ENGINE WAS NOT ON. THE CAR QUICKLY ROLLED 20 FEET INTO A TREE AND CAUSED 6200$ DAMAGES TO THE REAR OF THE CAR. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS BEHIND THE CAR. I BELIEVE THAT THE PRIUS CAN BE ACCIDENTALLY PLACED IN NEUTRAL IF ELECTRICAL IS ON IN THE CAR (IE RADIO) AND SOMEONE HAS THEIR FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND HITS THE GEARBOX BY ACCIDENT. THERE IS NO SAFETY ON THE SHIFTER TO PREVENT UNINTENTIONAL SHIFTING. MANY OTHER CARS REQUIRE A MANUAL BUTTON ON THE SHIFTER TO BE DEPRESSED PRIOR TO SHIFTING. THIS IS NOT THE CASE ON THE PRIUS. WITHOUT THAT SAFETY FEATURE, ACCIDENTS LIKE THIS ONE CAN HAPPEN AND POTENTIALLY KILL SOMEONE. THE CAR CAN BE MADE TO BE IN NEUTRAL BY ACCIDENT RATHER EASILY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 TOYOTA PRIUS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ON OCCASIONS THE HEADLIGHTS FAILED TO ILLUMINATE. ADDITIONALLY, THE FAILURE WAS EXPERIENCED WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT THE LOW BEAM HEADLAMPS BECAME INOPERABLE. THE CONTACT WOULD THEN HAVE TO USE TO THE HIGH BEAM HEADLAMPS FOR SAFE NIGHTTIME DRIVING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT TURNING OFF THE HEADLAMP SWITCH AND TURNING BACK ON TEMPORARILY REMEDIED THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS INTERMITTENT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MOLLE TOYOTA LOCATED AT 601 WEST 103RD STREET 64114 PHONE (866)-577-9913. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE HEADLAMPS OPERATED AS INTENDED WHILE BEING INSPECTED BY THE TECHNICIAN. THE CONTACT WAS ASKED TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHILE THE FAILURE WAS PRESENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,300.

THE BRAKES ON MY 2015 PRIUS TOTALLY FAILED AND I HAD TO SWERVE TO AVOID CRASHING INTO THE CAR STOPPED IN FRONT OF ME. I'VE BEEN DRIVING FOR MORE THAN 30 YEARS AND HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED ANYTHING LIKE THIS. IT WAS TERRIFYING. TO WIT: I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 20 M.P.H. ON CITY STREETS IN LONG BEACH, CALIFORNIA, IN APRIL 2019. AS I DROVE OVER A BRIDGE, TRAFFIC WAS COMING TO A STOP AT A RED LIGHT 200 YARDS IN FRONT OF ME. I DROVE OVER A NARROW METAL PLATE--THERE ARE SEVERAL ON THE BRIDGE--AND HIT THE BRAKES, BUT MY CAR DIDN'T SLOW. A WARNING LIGHT FLASHED--A STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT, I BELIEVE, DUE TO THE METAL PLATE. I PRESSED THE BRAKES TO THE FLOOR AS MY CAR ROLLED DOWNHILL ON PAVEMENT. MY CAR DID NOT SLOW AT ALL. I LOOKED IN THE DRIVER SIDE MIRROR AND SAW THAT THE LANE TO MY LEFT WAS CLEAR, SO I SWERVED INTO IT WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKES. THE CAR SLOWLY CAME TO A STOP WELL BEYOND WHERE I SHOULD HAVE STOPPED HAD MY BRAKES WORKED PROPERLY. THE INCIDENT WAS SO TERRIFYING THAT I HAD TO PULL OVER TO COLLECT MYSELF. MY BRAKES WORKED PROPERLY AFTER THAT. A FEW DAYS LATER, I TOOK MY CAR TO PENSKE TOYOTA IN DOWNEY, CALIFORNIA, WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR, AND TOLD A SERVICE AGENT WHAT HAPPENED. I ASKED HIM TO FIX THE PROBLEM. AFTER SERVICE TECHNICIANS INSPECTED THE BRAKES THAT DAY, I WAS TOLD THE BRAKES APPEARED TO BE FINE AND, BARRING A RECALL, NOTHING COULD BE DONE. I'VE BEEN DRIVING THE CAR SINCE THEN, BUT I'VE WORRIED THAT THE BRAKES COULD FAIL AGAIN. THEN I SAW THE JAN. 3, 2020 ARTICLE BELO

2015 FORD EDGE WITH 22,000 MILES. THE REAR CENTER BRAKE LIGHT ASSEMBLY HAS MALFUNCTIONED AND THE LIGHTS ARE NOT WORKING. THE LIGHTS CANNOT BE REPLACED - THE WHOLE UNIT HAS TO BE REPLACED, WHICH COSTS ALMOST $300. THE DEALER TOLD ME THERE IS WATER IN THE UNIT. THIS CAR IS GARAGED AT WORK AND AT HOME. I HAVE READ THAT OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE. I HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY BUT LIGHTS AREN'T INCLUDED. SINCE THIS IS A WHOLE UNIT - NOT JUST A BULB - IT SHOULD BE INCLUDED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 TOYOTA PRIUS. WHILE THE CONTACT'S DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE BRAKE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED.

THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 70,000. THE VIN WAS NOT PROVIDED.

DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY HOME HEARD A STRANGE NOISE, PULLED OVER TO CHECK AND THOUGHT I HAD BLOWN A TIRE SOMEHOW. WHEN CLOSELY INSPECTING TIRE TREADING THE CENTER OF THE TIRE COMPLETELY CAME OFF IN A PERFECT CIRCLE WHEN DRIVING. TOOK TIRE TO COSTCO WHERE TIRES WERE PURCHASED LESS THAN A YEAR A AGO (8/24/18) WAS INFORMED ITS A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT. HAD TO PAY FOR A NEW TIRE. IT WAS ALSO DISCOVERED THAT PASSENGER BACK TIRE HAD A WHOLE IN IT WHICH WAS MISSED WHEN I TOOK CAR IN FOR TIRE INSPECTION.

TAKATA RECALL I HAVE HAD MY CAR FOR OVER 1 YR. I NOTICED THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT TIRE GOES FLAT FASTER THAN THE REST. ONE DAY WHEN I WAS MAKING A U-TURN THERE WAS A NOISE AND I COULD FEEL THE CAR SHAKE. I CANNOT TO THIS DAY MAKE A QUICK LEFT U-TURN. THIS LOUD NOISE HAS CAUSED ME TO PARK AND CHECK ON THE CAR ITSELF. MY SISTER WAS IN THE CAR WHEN IT HAPPENED ONE DAY. SHE CAN ATTEST TO THE NOISE. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP HERE AT HILLTOP AND THEY DROVE THE CAR AND DIAGNOSED IT AS FINE. IT IS NOT FINE.

VIOLENT SHAKING WHEN APPLYING BRAKES IN FORWARD AND REVERSE. VEHICLE DOES NOT SLOW AND STOP PROPERLY WHEN BRAKING. VEHICLE INTERMITTENTLY SKIPS WITH NO SLOWING OR STOPPING EFFECT WHEN BRAKING.

SENT AN ALERT ON CERTAIN INTERNAL MALFUNCTION OF INTERNAL ASSEMBLIES OF THE BRAKE BOOSTER FROM TOYOTA. ASKING ME TO BRING IT IN FOR EXAMINATION. BRAKES HAVE BEEN ACTING SPONGY AND AM LOSING A SMALL AMOUNT OF BRAKE FLUID MONTHLY.

I ENTERED MY PARKED, STATIONARY PRIUS, PRESSED MY RIGHT FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, DISENGAGED THE PARKING BRAKE AND PRESSED THE ON/OFF BUTTON TO TURN THE CAR ON. MY FOOT REMAINED ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE ENGINE IMMEDIATELY RACED AND THE CAR BEGAN TO ACCELERATE AT HIGH SPEED. I STOMPED ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE CAR KEPT MOVING. THE SOUND OF THE ENGINE WAS LOUD ENOUGH THAT PEOPLE IN NEARBY HOUSES HEARD IT. MY CAR WOULD NOT SLOW WITH MY EFFORTS TO BRAKE. I TRIED TO SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL AND PARK BUT THE CAR DID NOT SLOW DOWN. IT RACED ACROSS THE STREET AND PLOWED DIRECTLY INTO A NEIGHBOR'S STONE WALL. MY CAR BECAME WEDGED BETWEEN THE WALL AND A LARGE TREE. I HAD TO EXIT THE VEHICLE FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE AS THE DRIVER'S DOOR WAS PRESSED AGAINST THE TREE. AFTER THE COLLISION, INTERIOR LIGHTS WERE NON-FUNCTIONING EVEN WHEN THE DOOR WAS PROPPED OPEN. THE CAR WOULD HAVE CRASHED THROUGH THE HOUSE IF IT HAD NOT BEEN STOPPED BY THE WALL AND TREE.

TOYOTA SENT ME A LETTER STATING THE BRAKE BOOSTER MAY CAUSE ISSUES WITH MY CAR AND ALL MY LIGHTS CAME ON FOR THIS ISSUE. TOYOTA TOLD ME TO TAKE CAR TO DEALER FOR REPAIR UNDER NEW WARRANTY EXTENSION FOR BRAKE BOOSTER ISSUES. DEALER IS NOW TELLING ME IT'S NOT COVERED SO I NEED TO PAY FOR REPAIRS. I ASKED WHAT I'M PAYING FOR AND THEY STATED NEW BRAKE BOOSTER. WHAT'S GOING ON HERE??

VEHICLE JERKED VIOLENTLY AND HAD LOSS OF POWER ON HIGHWAY AT SPEED OF 65MPH GOING STRAIGHT. TOYOTA EVALUATED AND DETERMINED THE INVERTER WAS BURNT DUE TO OVERHEATING CAUSING HYBRID SYSTEM TO FAIL. TOYOTA STATED WAS NOT COVERED BY VIN FOR EXISTING RECALL.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, THE SUNROOF GLASS EXPLODED. FORTUNATELY, WE WERE NOT INJURED SINCE THE SUNROOF WAS CLOSED. I NOTED THAT THERE WERE MANY SIMILAR REPORTS. SURPRISED THIS WAS NOT A RECALL ACTION.

AT 41,000 THE VEHICLE PER A GOODYEAR DEALER ADVISED THAT MY FRONT BRAKES WERE METAL ON METAL. THE CALIBER WAS ALSO FROZEN AND THE BRAKE LINE WAS LEAKING. THE CAR WAS AT THE DEALERSHIP ON 3/7/19 WITH NO MENTION OF A NEED FOR REPAIRS TO THE FRONT BRAKES. IS THERE A GENERAL PROBLEM WITH BAD BRAKES ON TOYOTA VEHICLES?

WHILE DRIVING, LEFT SIDE OF INSTRUMENT PANEL WENT DARK. NO SPEED INDICATION AND CRUISE CONTROL TRIPPED OFF. STARTED CAR NEXT DAY AND INSTRUMENT PANEL WAS NORMAL. WHILE SITTING IN DRIVEWAY WITH ENGINE RUNNING, ENGINE STOPPED AS NORMAL FOR THE HYBRID PRIUS, WHEN THE ENGINE TURNED OFF, THE LEFT SIDE OF THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AGAIN WENT DARK. DIMMER SWITCH AT FULL BRIGHT AND NOTHING BLOCKING MIRROR FOR COMBINATION PANEL (INSTRUMENT CLUSTER).

NOTED RECALL ON THE NEWS FOR ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FOR 2015 TO 2018

THE LOUDNESS OF THE HORN IS VERY UNSAFE. TOYOTA OUGHT TO BE ASHAMED OF INSTALLING SUCH A "WHIPPY SOUNDING HORN SYSTEM ON ITS HYBRID. WHEN I WAS CUT-OFF IN CITY TRAFFIC, THE HORN LOUDNESS WOULDN'T ATTRACT IMMEDIATE ATTENTION TO MOST OTHER DRIVERS.

NEWS TIRES WHERE BAD WITHIN 9 MONTHS-BOUGHT AT COSTCO -ONE TIRE HAD A NAIL AND WENT FLAT VERY FAST- -HAD REPAIRED-ONE KEPT GETTING FLAT OTHER EXPLODED ON FREEWAY AND CAUSED DAMAGE -BOTH FLAT AND RIPPED TIRE HAPPENED SUDDENLY. COSTCO HAS REPLACED THE TIRES ALL 4 -BUT WILL NOT PAY DAMAGE TO CAR FROM EXPLOSION SUDDEN FLAT AND IN SHREDS . WE FELL THEY SOLD BAD TIRES AND THESE TIRES ARE A SAFETY HAZARD.

AS I WAS DRIVING OUR 2015 TOYOTA PRIUS AT ABOUT 30 MPH ON A SURFACE STREET AND GOING STRAIGHT, WE CAME UPON A METAL CONSTRUCTION PLATE OVER THE ROADWAY SURFACE AND THE BRAKES WERE AUTOMATICALLY APPLIED TO THE VEHICLE. THERE WERE NO VEHICLES DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF ME WITHIN 100 FEET. THE VEHICLE DID NOT COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, BUT THIS SUDDEN ACTION COULD HAVE CAUSED A COLLISION.

ON FEBRUARY 28, 2018 AT 10:00 A.M. I WAS DRIVING ON I-10 W ABOUT 10 MILES OUTSIDE OF NEW ORLEANS WHEN MY CLOSED, LOCKED SUNROOF EXPLODED UPWARDS, SHATTERING COMPLETELY THE CENTER SUNROOF PANEL AND SHOWERING ME WITH GLASS. IT WAS A CLEAR SUNNY DAY, ABOUT 70 DEGREES, THE ROAD WAS CLEAR WITH NO TRAFFIC OR DEBRIS AND I WAS TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH.

AUTO ADJUSTING LOW BEAMS NOT WORKING. LOW BEAM IS FIXED DOWN AS IF THERE WAS A HEAVY WEIGHT LOAD, WITH NO LOAD IN THE AUTO THE LOW BEAM LIGHT PATERN IS ONLY 25 FEET, THIS DISTANCE PUTS THE DRIVER AT RISK BEING UNABLE CLEARLY SEE THE ROAD AND DRIVE AT A REDUCE SPEED OR OVER DRIVING THE LIGHT. DRIVER EYES ARE STRAINED AS THEY TRY TO NAVIGATE. THERE IS NO PROBLEM WITH THE HIGH BEAMS. AFFECTS ONLY AT NIGHT ON HIGHWAYS AND. POORLY LIGHT WIEDY COUNTRY ROADS.

I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE GOING 70 MILES AN HOUR IN THE LEFT LANE. I WANTED TO CHANGE TO THE RIGHT LANE, PUT ON MY TURN SIGNAL, CHECKED BOTH MIRRORS, AND STARTED TO PULL OVER WHEN A HORN BLEW, I DID NOT SEE A CAR IN THE RIGHT LANE AS THE PRIUS HAS A TERRIBLE BLIND SPOT. THIS HAS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES. NOT GOOD I MISSED HITTING THE VEHICLE BE MERE INCHES.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE TIRE BLEW OUT CAUSING ME TO HIT THE CENTER DIVIDER ON THE 101 ON THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT TIRE WHICH CAUSED THE CARS ASS END TO ALSO GET SCUFFED UP AS WILL

FRONT HEADLIGHTS HAVE NOW BURNT OUT FOR THE SECOND TIME. MY CAR ONLY HAS 75,000 MILES. THIS IS RIDICULOUS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 TOYOTA PRIUS. WHILE AT A STOP AND ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED BACKWARDS. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO BRAKE AND REGAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 22,267. *JS

I BACKED OUT OF A CARPORT AND PLACED MY CAR IN ACCELERATION AND IT PICKED UP SPEED AND THEN HIT A WALL AT AN APARTMENT COMPLEX.

TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEED BETWEEN KANSAS CITY AND ST. LOUIS(55-70 MPH, HIGH WIND, 60-70 DEGREES AND RAIN, WIPERS ON CONSTANT HIGH BETWEEN ONE HOUR TO ONE AND QUARTER HOURS OF DRIVING, WIPERS STOPPED WORKING, BLADES POINTING STRAIGHT UP. CHECKED FOR OBSTRUCTION AND TRIED TO MOVE BLADE/ARMS NO CHANGE. AFTER ABOUT 15-30 MINUTES THEY STARTED WORKING AGAIN ON THERE OWN, (VERY UPSET HARD TO PINPOINT TIME). USED INTERMITTENT MOSTLY AND LOW AS LITTLE AS POSSIBLE FOR NEXT THREE HOURS OF DRIVING WITH NO PROBLEM, (SWITCHED TO HIGH WIPERS ONCE OR TWICE FOR LESS THAN 30 SECONDS EACH TIME). REAR WASHER/WIPER WAS FINE AND FRONT WASHER WORKED WHEN PROBLEM WAS PRESENT. VERY SCARY DRIVING EVEN AFTER THEY STARTED WORKING NOT KNOWING IF THEY WOULD STOP AGAIN. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER TWO DAYS LATER AND THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE CONDITION AND RETURNED VEHICLE.

THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS; HOWEVER, ALL REPLACEMENT PARTS WERE DISTORTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,000. UPDATED 10/18/16*LJ *TR

I WAS SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT OF THE CAR WHILE IT WAS PARALLEL PARKED. I PRESSED THE PUSH TO START BUTTON TO TURN ON THE BATTERY SO I COULD CHARGE MY PHONE. THERE WAS NO ONE IN THE DRIVER SEAT. THE CAR TURNED COMPLETELY ON WHEN I REACHED OVER TO PRESS THE BUTTON. NOT ONLY DID THE ENGINE START, BUT WITHOUT ANYONE PRESSING ON THE BREAKS THE CAR RELEASED ITSELF FROM BEING PARKED. THE CAR STARTED ROLLING BACKWARDS INTO THE CAR PARKED BEHIND ME. I HAVE NO EXPLANATION ABOUT HOW THIS HAPPENED. I HAVE BEEN READING INTO IT AND APPARENTLY IT'S A DEFECT OF THE 2015 AND OLDER MODELS. WHEN THE CAR STARTED ROLLING BACK I ALSO STARTED PRESSING BOTH THE PARK AND PUSH TO START BUTTONS TO TURN IT OFF AGAIN. I'VE NEVER FELT SO UNSAFE IN A VEHICLE AND GOES TO CONFIRM THAT PARK AND PUSH TO START SHOULD NOT BE BUTTONS!!! IT MAKES THE VEHICLE MUCH MORE DANGEROUS NOT BEING ABLE TO OVERRIDE THOSE COMMANDS WHEN IT CHOOSES TO GO ON ITS OWN.
