2010 TOYOTA PRIUS Complaints

AS I WAS DRIVING ON A ROAD, ABOUT 25 MPH, WHILE MY FOOT WAS ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL THE CAR JUST DECREASED IT'S SPEED TO A STOP AS I CONTINUALLY PUSHED MY FOOT ON THE PEDAL.

I TOOK MY 2010 TOYOTA PRIUS TO DEALER SHIP FOR A SOFTWARE UPDATE, AND NOW THE HYBRID SYSTEM KEPT HAVING PROBLEM, ONCE I DISCONNECT THE 12V BATTERY, THE CAR WILL DO FINE FOR LIKE A WEEK, THEN THE HYBRID SYSTEM WILL SHUT DOWN, IT DIDN'T HAPPEN BEFORE THE SOFTWARE UPDATE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA PRIUS. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE 'CHECK HYBRID SYSTEM' WARNING INDICATOR DISPLAYED AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. MOMENTS LATER, THE VEHICLE RESTARTED, BUT THE WARNING INDICATOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. FRED ANDERSON TOYOTA (9101 GLENWOOD AVE, RALIEGH, NC) WAS NOTIFIED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 207,000.

BRAKE FAILURE AND CAR WENT UP CURB, KNOCKED DOWN STAIR RAIL, HIT TREE AND TURNED OVER ON SIDE

BRAKES WENT COMPLETELY OUT AND EMERGENCY NOISE WAS BEEPING LOUDLY IN CAR. TALK TO MECHANIC AND HE SAID BRAKE ACTUATOR IS BAD AND THERE WAS A RECALL BUT TOYOTA WON'T ACKNOWLEDGE AND REPAIR

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.

'TAKATA RECALL' AS I WAS MERGING ON THE HIGHWAY THIS MORNING I GOT THE BIG WARNING LIGHT ON MY DASH AND THE ENGINE LIGHT ALONG WITH A MESSAGE ON MY SCREEN SAYING CHECK HYBRID SYSTEM. EVER SINCE MY HYBRID SYSTEM SHUT DOWN AND NEVER CAME BACK ON.

EVEN THOUGH THE BREAKS SEEM FINE, THE ELECTRIC BREAK SYSTEM DOES WORK AT ALL. ALL LIGHTS ARE ON AND THE BREAKS PEDALS FEELS LOOSE. WHEN I PUSH THE BREAKS THE VEHICLE KEEPS GOING. THE ABS WARNING LIGHT IS ON AS WELL AS ALL THE OTHER LIGHTS REGARDING TO BREAKS AND STABILITY MECHANISMS.

EVEN THOUGH THE BREAK PADS ARE NEW, THE BREAKS ARE NOT WORKING AT ALL WHEN VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. THEY DO NOT FEEL TIGHT. THE VEHICLE LOOSES STABILITY IN CURVES AT A LOW SPEED ( SLIPS) AND KEEPS MOVING EVEN WHEN BREAKS ARE PUSHED TO THE END. ALL THE BREAK LIGHTS ARE ON. THERE ARE SEVERAL RECALLS REGARDING THE BREAKS OF THIS VEHICLE YEAR 2010 AND NONE APPLIES TO THE VEHICLE VIN NUMBER. IT IT NOT RELIABLE AT ALL IN THE HIGHWAY. IN ORDER TO BRAKE THE SPEED MUST BE VERY SLOW AND THE DISTANCE MUST BE WAY MORE THAN NORMAL
