2010 TOYOTA PRIUS Complaints

JUST PURCHASE THE CAR AND THEY R REFUSING TO FIX THE ABS KNOWN ISSUE UNDER THAT ABS RECALL

MY 2010 TOYOTA PRIUS HAS LEATHER SEATS AND THE PASSENGER SIDE LIGHT IS COMING ON. ACCORDING TO TOYOTA RECALL THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE LEATHER SEATS AND CALIBRATION.THE SENSOR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE IS NOT COMMUNICATING WITH THE FRONT AIRBAG SO WHEN YOU SIT DOWN AND BUCKLE IN IT DOES NOT ACTIVATE THE FRONT AIRBAG. A SEATBELT AND AIRBAG LIGHT IS CONSTANTLY ON.

TOYOTA PRIUS 2010 STARTED EXPERIENCING BRAKING ISSUES IN JANUARY 17, 2020. CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER THREE TIMES WITH MISS DIAGNOSIS. IN MARCH DEALER DIAGNOSED ISSUE MOST LIKELY A BRAKE BOOSTER AND PUMP ASSEMBLY WHICH WAS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH 2010 PRIUS. TOYOTA IDENTIFIED THE ISSUE IN A PREVIOUS QUALITY CAMPAIGN BUT ONLY REPAIRED IF BRAKES FULLY FAILED. BRAKE FAILURE IS WHAT IT TOOK TO HAVE YOUR CAR REPAIRED?

ABS, TRACTION, AND BRAKE LIGHT STAY ON. IT IS THE ACTUATOR BRAKE AND THE COST TO FIX IS OVER $2000. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE WITH OTHER 2010 PRIUS' AND IT IS A COMMON ISSUE. THIS IS A DEFECT THAT TOYOTA REFUSES TO FIX EVEN THOUGH IT IS VERY COMMON AND PUTS MANY PEOPLE AT RISK.

I HAVE LOST ALL REGENERATIVE BRAKING. THE ABS, TRACTION CONTROL, AND SERVICE LIGHTS ARE ALL ILLUMINATED CONTINUALLY. IT HAS BECOME DIFFICULT TO STOP AND THE HYBRID BATTERY IS DEPLETING AT A RAPID RATE WITH VERY SLOW RECHARGING.

ON TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 23, OUR BRAKING SYSTEM FAILED ON OUR TOYOTA PRIUS WHILE DRIVING ON A SIDE ROAD AFTER MONTHS OF CONTINUING WEAKNESS IN THE BRAKE PEDAL AND "LURCHING" WHEN BRAKING OVER POTHOLES. THE BRAKE SYSTEM LOST HYDRAULIC PRESSURE. UPON INSPECTION BY AN ASE-CERTIFIE MECHANIC, THEY DETERMINED THE BRAKE BOOSTER ASSEMBLY HAD LIKELY FAILED, BUT RECOMMENDED SENDING TO A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. THEY CONFIRMED THE VEHICLE WAS UNFIT TO DRIVE. THE VEHICLE WAS SENT TO A TOYOTA DEALER. THE DEALER CONFIRMED THE BREAK BOOSTER ASSEMBLY/ACTUATOR HAD FAILED. THE DEALER ADVISED THE BRAKE BOOSTER HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN UNDER A TOYOTA "CUSTOMER SERVICE CAMPAIGN," BUT THAT THE "WARRANTY" CAMPAIGN HAD EXPIRED. HOWEVER, HE ADVISED TOYOTA BRAND ENGAGEMENT CENTER HAS OFTEN ASSISTED CUSTOMERS WHEN THEY'RE JUST OUTSIDE THE WARRANTY PERIOD. WHEN CONTACTING TOYOTA, THEY STATED THIS VEHICLE WAS NEVER UNDER RECALL AND WAS NOT ELIGIBLE, BUT THEN SAID THEY SENT INFORMATION ON A TOYOTA SAFETY CAMPAIGN. UPON RESEARCH, WE CONTINUED TO CONFIRM THAT THE DIAGNOSIS WAS TIED TO RECALL D0H FROM JULY 2013. WE'VE ALSO REVIEWED OUR VEHICLE HISTORY, AND THE BRAKE PUMP ASSEMBLY WAS NEVER REPLACED DESPITE BEING INSPECTED CONSISTENTLY BY TOYOTA DEALERS SINCE 2013 AND UNDER RECALL. TOYOTA HAS DECLINED TO COVER THE COST OF THE REPLACEMENT FOR THE BRAKE PUMP ASSEMBLY. THE COST OF REPAIR IS NEARLY THE SAME AS THE CURRENT VALUE OF THE VEHICLE. TOYOTA BRAND ENGAGEMENT CENTER HAS DECLINED TO PROVIDE THIS INFORMATION IN WRITING, WOULD NOT PROVIDE A NAME, AND OTHERWISE ACTED COMPLETELY SKETCHY - FOR LACK OF A BETTER WORD - ANY TIME WE TRIED TO CLARIFY THE REPAIR WAS CLEARLY TIED TO THE JUNE 2013 RECALL. WE WERE VERY, VERY FORTUNATE THE BRAKES FAILED ON A SIDE STREET NEAR OUR HOME, NOT ON A HIGHWAY OR OTHER HIGH-RISK AREA. WE WOULD LIKE TOYOTA TO HONOR THE RECALL, EXTEND IT FOR OTHER CUSTOMERS, AND COVER THE COST OF REPAIR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA PRIUS. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH AND DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL TO ATTEMPT TO STOP THE VEHICLE, THE VEHICLE PROCEEDED TO ROLL FORWARD WHILE THE PEDAL WAS STILL DEPRESSED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 209,000.

VEHICLE AFTER AWHILE STARTS TO CONSUME OIL. IT'S RUNS OUT OF OIL VERY QUICKLY. THERE IS NO OIL LEAK.

WENT OVER BUMP AT RAILROAD CROSSING AND ABS, BRAKE, SLIP WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON AND REGENERATIVE BRAKING STOPPED WORKING. CAR WAS HARDER TO STOP. TOOK TO DEALER AND CAR WAS DIAGNOSED WITH THIS WORK NEEDED: REPLACE BOOSTER AND BOOSTER PUMP ASSY AND REFLASH (FAILED BOOSTER, BOOSTER PUMP) FAIL $3,259.84 CAR IS BEYOND WARRANTY FIX DATES THOUGH ALL THESE CARS WERE RECALLED IN CANADA AND A CLASS ACTION SUIT IS ONGOING IN OHIO OVER THIS ISSUE. WHY WON'T THE NTSB FOLLOW CANADA'S LEAD AND GET THESE FAILING BRAKE SYSTEMS FIXED BEFORE SOMETHING SERIOUS HAPPENS?
