2011 TOYOTA PRIUS Complaints

I WAS DRIVING ALONG ON THE FREEWAY TRYING TO GET HOME AND SUDDENLY MY PRIUS LOST POWER. I WAS PANICKING, GOOD THING I HAD MY BROTHERS WITH ME OR ELSE I WOULD HAVE LOST IT. WE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS GOING ON! WE MANAGED TO GET OFF THE FREEWAY SAFELY, BUT WE WERE DISTRESSED.

WAS DRIVING ON THE ON THE SURFACE STREET ABOUT TO GET ON THE FREEWAY AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE THE HYBRID SYSTEM LIGHT CAME ON.

MY BRAKES CONSISTENTLY LOCK AND THE CAR LUNGES FORWARD WHEN I HIT A POTHOLE WHILE BRAKING. THIS CAUSED A CRASH WHEN THE CAR WAS ONLY A COUPLE YEARS OLD WHEN THE BRAKES FAILED TO STOP THE VEHICLE AND IT LUNGED FORWARD INTO THE BACK OF A CAR. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND I'VE SEEN THIS COMMENT OFTEN WITH THIS VEHICLE. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY TOYOTA HAS NOT ADDRESSED THIS ISSUE.

JUNE 29TH 2018 WAS IN THE CAR WASH GOING THORUGH WHEN THE DASH BOARD PANEL SAID TRACTION BATTERY LOW PUT IN PARK THE BATTERY INDICATOR SHOWED ONE BAR LIGHT ON BUT I COULDNT PUT IT IN PARK FOR I WAS STILL GOING THORGH CAR WASH WHEN IT WAS DONE WASHING PUT CAR IN DRIVE AND IT WAS VERY SLOW IN DRIVING IT TOOK IT AWHILE TO COME BACK UP IN POWER JULY 6TH TOOK IT TO LOCAL DEALER AND I THINK THEY THOUGHT I WAS NUTS THEY SAID THEY NEVER HEARD OF SUCH OF A THING HAPPING LIKE THAT. THOUGHT MATBE IT WAS THE NEW BATTERY THEY PUT IN MY CAR IN MARCH OF 20018 SO I WANT THIS ON RECORD THAT I HAD IT CHECKED EVEN CALLED AND CHECKED ON LINE IF THERE WAS A TRECALL ONLY THING I FOUND WAS A 2014 RECALL ON MY YEAR BUT NOT MY VION OF THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SOFTWARE. IS IT POSSABLE THAT IS WHAT HAPPENED TO MY CAR. HOPE YOU CAN GIVE ME A ANSWER

BOTH LOW BEAM BULBS NOT WORKING, BUT HIGH BEAMS WORK. BULBS NOT BAD. HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY.

THE HONK / SPIRAL CABLE IS DEFECTIVE - ONLY NOTICED IT IN 2015 (BROUGHT TO THE DEALER) BUT NEVER USED THE HONK BEFORE THAT - COULD HAVE BEEN EARLIER... IT ONLY WORKS WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL IS COMPLETELY TURNED TO ONE SIDE. SINCE CAR HAS NEVER BEEN INVOLVED IN ACCIDENT , THIS IS A MANUFACTURE DEFECT AND NOT WEAR AND TEAR - TOYOTA SHOULD COVER IT - I SEE THEY HAVE ON OTHER MODELS - I CAME CLOSE TO 2 SERIOUS ACCIDENTS WHEN I WAS UNABLE TO WARN DISTRACTED DRIVERS - THE COST IS HIGH AND THIS IS WHY I DID NOT NOT GET IT FIXED IN 2015 WHEN I FIRST NOTICED IT (THE CAR WAS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD) -

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA PRIUS. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS LOW SPEEDS, THE ABS AND TRACTION INDICATORS ILLUMINATED WITHOUT WARNING. IN ADDITION, WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, THE VEHICLE LUNGED FORWARD. THE DEALER (UNIVERSAL TOYOTA IN SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS) DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE BOOSTER AND THE PUMP FOR THE BOOSTER/ACCUMULATOR WERE FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED THE CONTACT WITH CASE NUMBER: 180-4162-158. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 98,000.

I WAS GETTING ON THE INTERSTATE AND ALL OF A SUDDEN I LOST POWER AND MY DASH LITE UP CHECK HYBRID SYSTEM /ABS/ BREAKS. I CAN NOT DRIVE MY CAR BECAUSE IT HAS NO POWER PLEASE HELP THANK YOU

WHEN HITTING THE INTERSTATE MASSIVELY LOST POWER WHILE TRYING TO ACCELERATE.ALL CLUSTER OF LIGHTS CAME ON AND STAYED ON DASH INCLUDING CHECK HYBRID SYSTEM.PLZ CONTACT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE

I WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT 35 MPH AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY BRAKES STOPPED WORKING. THE BRAKE , ABS AND TRACTION LIGHTS CAME ON ALL AT ONCE. I SOMEHOW MADE IT HOME BUT I COULD HAVE EASILY CRASHED. I HAD MY 9 YEAR OLD IN THE BACK SEAT AND HE ALSO GOT VERY SCARED. NOW I CANNOT DRIVE MY CAR AND THE BRAKES FEEL AS THEY AS STUCK AND VERY HARD. I TOOK MY CAR TO A REPUTABLE MECHANIC AND HE TOLD ME IT IS GIVING HIM CODE C1391. THIS IS THE SAME PROBLEM THAT THE 2010 PRIUS HAD UNDER THE RECALL. MY PRIUS IS 2011 AND NOT UNDER THE RECALL. I FEEL THAT THE 2011 SHOULD BE UNDER RECALL BECAUSE MANY THOUSANDS OF LIVES ARE IN DANGER NOW.
