ENGINE, STEERING, HYBRID PROPULSION SYSTEM
ABOUT A MILE AFTER HAVING ENTERED THE FREEWAY AS I WAS MERGING TOWARDS THE CARPOOL LANE THE CAR SHUT OFF IN THE NUMBER THREE LANE.THE DASHBOARD DISPLAYED THE MESSAGE, "CHECK HYBRID SYSTEM", AND WOULD NOT RESPOND. MY SPEED WAS APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH WHEN THIS OCCURRED. I IMMEDIATELY PRESSED ON THE BRAKE BUT THE CAR WAS NOT SLOWING DOWN AS IT NORMALLY DOES. WHEN I FINALLY GOT OVER TO THE NUMBER 1 LANE, I ENTERED THE EMERGENCY LANE BUT WAS STILL HAVING TROUBLE COMING TO A STOP. I BRUSHED UP AGAINST THE FREEWAY WALL IN ORDER TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. AFTER SWITCHING THE CAR OFF AND ATTEMPTING TO RESTART IT, I WOULD GET NO RESPOND AND ALL THE DASHBOARD INDICATORS WOULD REMAIN ON WITH THE "CHECK HYBRID SYSTEM" DISPLAYED. THIS INCIDENT WAS TERRIFYING AS I WAS DRIVING WITH MY TWO YEAR OLD DAUGHTER AND TWO OTHER OCCUPANTS. THE CAR SHOULD HAVE DISPLAYED A WARNING AND NOT SIMPLY STALLED OUT. IF THIS INCIDENT HAD TAKEN PLACE A FEW MINUTES LATER, I WOULD HAVE BEEN IN THE HOV LANE AND COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A DEVASTATING ACCIDENT. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
VEHICLE CONTINUED FORWARD WITH NO BRAKING FOR 2 SECONDS AFTER APPLYING THE BRAKES. VEHICLE DID NOT STOP IN TIME TO AVOID STRIKING THE VEHICLE IN FRONT. FRONT BUMPER WAS DENTED AND PUNCTURED BY STRIKING THE TRAILER HITCH ON THE CAR AHEAD. NO DAMAGE TO OTHER CAR. BRAKE BOOSTER WAS REPLACED LAST YEAR UNDER RECALL FOR SAME PROBLEM. REPAIR HAS DONE NOTHING TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THE SAME PROBLEM HAS OCCURED INTERMITTENTLY BEFORE AND AFTER THE "FIX". BRAKES MOMENTARILY FAIL TO ACTIVATE EVERY SO OFTEN, WITH NO PARTICULAR PATTERN OR FREQUENCY. DEALER WAS NOTIFIED, AND STATED THAT UNLESS WE CAN DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM FOR THEM, THEY CANNOT PROVIDE ANY REPAIR OR ASSISTANCE. BECOMING UNEASY ABOUT USING THE CAR. WILL PROBABLY TRADE IT IN FOR SOMETHING DIFFERENT, WHICH IS NOT WHAT WE REALLY WANT. WOULD LIKE TO GET IT FIXED, AS WE LIKE THE CAR. NOT TRYING TO BE DIFFICULT, BUT FELT THAT IT SHOULD BE REPORTED. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I AM WRITING DUE TO HAVING HAD MY 2010 TOYOTA PRIUS SELF ACCELERATE WHILE DRIVING ON FOUR OCCASIONS. THIS BEGAN OCCURRING AFTER I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO TOYOTA OF CLERMONT, FLORIDA FOR A ROUTINE SERVICE ON 3/31/2014. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS THERE, THE DEALERSHIP ALSO PERFORMED A RECALL ON THE VEHICLE. THIS RECALL IS REFERENCED AS: TECH(S) : 20799 RECALL EOE MOTOR GENERATOR AND POWER MANAGEMENT UPDATE PERFORM SOFTWARE UPDATE FOR MG ECU AND POWER MANAGEMENT ECU AGG09A 0.7 AS OF 8/5/2014 MY VEHICLE HAS HAD UNINTENDED ACCELERATION ON 4 OCCASIONS. IN 3 OF THE 4 I KNOW IT HAS OCCURRED AS I RELEASED THE BRAKE. THIS RELEASE IS CONFIRMED BY THE FACT THAT IT IS NECESSARY TO REAPPLY THE BRAKE TO STOP THE ACCELERATION. THE 4TH OCCURRENCE MAY ALSO HAVE OCCURRED AFTER A BRAKE RELEASE. I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM VIA BOTH MY LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER AND TOYOTA CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE CENTER AT 1 800 331-4331. I AM BEING TOLD THE PROBLEM IS OPERATOR ERROR. I HAVE DONE THE RESEARCH TO SEE IF THIS IS EVEN POSSIBLE. FOR ME TO APPLY THE BRAKE AND FUEL SIMULTANEOUSLY WOULD BE BOTH EXTREMELY DIFFICULT AND VERY OBVIOUS. ADDITIONALLY IF THIS DIAGNOSIS WERE CORRECT THE VEHICLE WOULD STOP ACCELERATING WHEN THE BRAKE WAS RELEASED. IN FACT THE VEHICLE ACCELERATES WHEN THE BRAKE IS RELEASED NOT WHILE THE BRAKE IS DEPRESSED. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE HEADLIGHTS BURN OUT ON A REGULAR BASIS. SHORTLY AFTER REPLACING THE BULB IT WILL BURN OUT AGAIN (USUALLY WITHIN A WEEK). AT TIMES BOTH SIDES BURN OUT AT THE SAME TIME WITHOUT WARNING CAUSING A SAFETY HAZARD. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM FOR TOYOTA PRIUS PRODUCTS. WE HAVE CONTACTED THE COMPANY WHO STATES THIS PROBLEM WAS RESOLVED WITH THE 09 MODEL YEAR AND REFUSE TO ADMIT OR ASSIST WITH REPAIRS OF THE KNOWN ELECTRICAL DEFECT. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, HYBRID PROPULSION SYSTEM: INVERTER
THE HYBRID INVERTER ASSEMBLY FAILED WHEN I TRIED TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP ONTO A RURAL HIGHWAY. THIS OCCURRED APPROXIMATELY TWO MONTHS AFTER RECEIVING THE MOTOR GENERATOR ECU AND POWER MANAGEMENT ECU SOFTWARE UPDATE THAT WAS INTENDED TO PREVENT THIS TYPE OF FAILURE.I WAS NOTIFIED OF THIS UPDATE/RECALL IN LATE MARCH 2014 AND HAD THE UPDATE COMPLETED AT A AUTHORIZED TOYOTA SERVICE CENTER. *TR

EXITING FROM THE HIGHWAY, I SLOWED WHILE I APPROACHED A STOP SIGN. AS THE PRIUS WENT OVER A BUMP, DECELERATION WAS INTERRUPTED. THE PRIUS MOMENTARILY SEEMED TO LURCH FORWARD; BUT WITHIN A SHORT TIME BRAKING RESUMED. THIS IS DISTURBING CAR BEHAVIOR. IF THERE WAS A CAR DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF ME, I WOULD HAVE HIT IT. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
I BROUGHT MY 2010 PRIUS INTO THE TOYOTA MARIN (CALIFORNIA) DEALER IN JANUARY 2014 IN RESPONSE TO THEIR RECALL RELATED TO PROBLEMS WITH STEPPING ON THE BRAKE AND HAVING THE PRIUS ACCELERATE RATHER THAN STOP. THE CORRECTIVE SOFTWARE WAS PRESUMABLY INSTALLED. FAST FORWARD TO FATHER'S DAY, JUNE 15, 2014. I AM PARKING MY PRIUS FOR A FATHER'S DAY BRUNCH. I'M GOING ABOUT TWO MILES PER HOUR INTO A PARKING SPACE. I PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE. THE CAR ACCELERATES. I MENTALLY DOUBLE CHECK THAT I HAVE MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE. I DO. OUT OF CONTROL, THE CAR JUMPS THE CURB AND SMASHES RIGHT INTO A TREE. MY WIFE ASKS IF MY FOOT IS ON THE BRAKE. I TRIPLE CHECK. IT STILL IS--I HAVEN'T MOVED IT. A WEEK LATER I FEEL THE TRAUMA OF CONSTANTLY VISUALIZING THE POSSIBILITY OF HAVING TRIED TO STOP AT A CROSS WALK AND KILLING A FAMILY ON THE WAY TO THEIR FATHER'S DAY BRUNCH. --IT TOOK THREE DAYS OF CONSTANT CALLING AND DYSFUNCTIONAL EXTENSIONS TO CONNECT WITH A PRIUS CASE MANAGER. THEN SHE INFORMED ME IT WOULD TAKE ME MORE THAN A MONTH TO HAVE MY CAR INSPECTED AND GET AN ASSESSMENT. IF I RENTED A CAR THERE WOULD BE NO ASSURANCE IT WOULD BE COVERED. --THIS PROBLEM HAPPENED AFTER I RESPONDED TO THE RECALL. HOW CAN I TRUST A CAR THAT IS AUTOMATICALLY CRASHING AFTER THAT PRECISE PROBLEM HAS ALLEGEDLY BEEN ADDRESSED? --I JUST RECEIVED (JULY 19, 2014) A LETTER FROM TOYOTA SALES SAYING THE CAR'S BRAKES AND ACCELERATOR WERE TESTED AND "ALL IS FINE." HOWEVER, IN MY AND OTHERS' SIMILAR EXPERIENCES THE SURGE HAPPENS ONLY OCCASIONALLY. WE BOUGHT THE CAR USED, HAVE GONE ABOUT 20,000 MILES WITH IT, AND NEVER HAD THE PROBLEM. SO A TEST EVEN FOR A YEAR AT A TIME IS IRRELEVANT. --MY "ASK": SINCE OTHERS SHARE THIS EXPERIENCE AND IT COULD RESULT IN DEATH, I WANT TOYOTA TO SELL THIS CAR FOR PARTS AND RECALL THE 2010 PRIUS UNTIL A SOLUTION CAN BE FOUND. I AM SHOCKED AT PRIUS' IRRESPONSIBILITY. *TR

WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 65 MPH ON ROUTE 11 IN CT WHEN RED LIGHTS COME ON AND CAR SLOWS TO 20 MPH.PULLE TO SIDE OF ROAD AND CALLED AAA/TOWED TO HARTFORD TOYOTA IN HARTFORD CT. FIRST TOLD IT WAS A HYBRID BATTERY THEN TOLD IT WAS THE INVERTER WHICH THEY SAID IS ON BACK ORDER. NOW I,M GETTING THE RUN AROUND FROM THE MAIN OFFICE IN CALIFORNIA.. BROUGHT CAR IN FOR A RECALL ON SOFTWARE UPDATE IN FEB 2014 AND FROM WHAT I READ THIS MAY CAUSE THE INVERT TO FAIL THANKS FOR YOUR ATTENTION IN THIS MATTER. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
BACK IN 2010, WE NOTICED THAT, WHEN BRAKING, THE CAR WOULD LURCH FORWARD. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AT RANDOM. AT THAT TIME, WE TOOK THE CAR IN TO FIX THE PROBLEM. VICTORY TOYOTA IN CANTON, MICHIGAN, TOLD US THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG; THEIR DIAGNOSIS AND COMPUTERS SHOWED THAT NO ERRORS HAD OCCURRED. WE DROVE IT FOR A SHORT TIME, AND IT CONTINUED TO HAVE THE ISSUE. WE TOOK IT BACK IN TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY AGAIN SAID THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG. THEY SAID THAT THEY TOOK IT FOR A TEST DRIVE, AND NOTHING HAPPENED. WE WERE MADE TO THINK THAT THE ISSUE WAS IN OUR HEADS, SO WE TOOK THE CAR BACK AND TRIED TO DEAL WITH THE ISSUE, EVEN THOUGH IT CONTINUED OVER THE YEARS. FINALLY, THIS YEAR, WE NEARLY GOT INTO TWO SEPARATE ACCIDENTS AS A DIRECT RESULT OF THIS SUDDEN LURCHING FORWARD. I TOOK THE CAR BACK INTO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT OF VICTORY TOYOTA, AND WAS TOLD BLUNTLY THAT THERE WAS NEVER A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE, THAT, UNLESS I COULD RECREATE THE PROBLEM WITH A TECHNICIAN IN THE CAR, I WAS MAKING THINGS UP. THAT IS WHAT LEAD TO THIS COMPLAINT. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT THE CAR HAD INDEED BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS BRAKE ISSUE WITH RECALL ID # 68066. SO THEY LIED ABOUT THE RECALL HISTORY FOR MY CAR. ALSO, RECREATING SOMETHING THAT HAPPENS AT RANDOM DURING A FINITE TIME PERIOD, SUCH AS A TEST DRIVE, IS IMPROBABLE, AND TO MAKE SERVICING THE CAR CONTINGENT ON THAT TEST DRIVE IS LUDICROUS. I AM HOPING THAT, BY LODGING THIS COMPLAINT SOMETHING WILL GET DONE BEFORE MY WIFE, ME, OR/AND SOMEONE ELSE IS/ARE KILLED BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT BULBS BURN OUT MUCH FASTER THAN THEY SHOULD. I HAVE REPLACED BOTH LOW BEAM BULBS AT LEAST 6 TIMES IN THE LAST 2 YEARS. TYPICAL BULBS SHOULD LAST WELL OVER A YEAR, WHEREAS MINE ONLY LAST 2-3 MONTHS. I DO NOT DRIVE WITH HEADLIGHTS ON DURING THE DAY. THIS HAPPENS WITH BOTH LOW BEAMS, BUT NOT SIMULTANEOUSLY. AS A RESULT, I AM INSTALLING NEW BULBS EVERY OTHER MONTH. I NEVER TOUCH THE BULBS (ALWAYS WEAR DISPOSABLE GLOVES) SO THIS IS NOT A RESULT OF FINGER OIL REDUCING THE BULB LIFE. *TR

WHEN BRAKING AT A SLOW SPEED THE CAR WILL SUDDENLY STOP BRAKING, WITH BRAKES STILL BEING APPLIED, WHENEVER A ROUGH SURFACE IS ENCOUNTERED, FOR EXAMPLE BUMPS OR POTHOLES. THIS LOSS OF BRAKING HAPPENS EVERYTIME A ROUGH SURFACE IS ENCOUNTERED DURING BRAKING AND IS EASY TO REPLICATE. *TR

AIR BAGS
ON THURSDAY, JUNE 19TH, JUST BEFORE NOON, POLICE STATE MY WIFE WAS STOPPED AT THE INTERSECTION OF AMERICAN LEGION RD. AND HWYS 61-67. THE TRAFFIC LIGHTS WERE MALFUNCTIONING AND FLASHING RED ALL 4 DIRECTIONS. AFTER STOPPING SHE PROCEEDED ON AND WAS STRUCK ON THE DRIVERS SIDE ABOUT WHERE THE DOOR HINGES ARE. THE DRIVER STATED HE DID NOT SEE THE FLASHING RED LIGHTS. IT PUSHED THE PRIUS ACROSS THE INTERSECTION AND INTO THE CURB SURROUNDING THE TRAFFIC LIGHT. IT WAS A PONTIAC AZTEC WITH THE HIGH HOOD, AND SUPPOSEDLY THE HOOD CRASHED OUT THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW, SHOWERING MY WIFE WITH GLASS. SHE SUFFERED CONCUSSION, BROKEN CLAVICLE, 10 STAPLES IN THE BACK OF HER HEAD, AND HAS EXTENSIVE SWELLING ALONG HER ENTIRE LEFT SIDE. IT ALSO KNOCKED OUT BOTH HEARING AIDS, SCRATCHED UP HER GLASSES FROM THE FLYING GLASS AND KNOCKED HER WATCH OFF. UNFORTUNATELY THE SIDE CURTAIN AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY. IT IS BEING HANDLED BY HARTFORD INSURANCE SO THEY CAN GIVE YOU MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE DAMAGE. THE CAR HAS ABOUT 38,000 MILES ON IT. THE POLICE REPORT IS BY FESTUS, MO. P.D.....

POWER TRAIN
THE INVERTER IN THE CAR FAILED WHILE ACCELERATING. I ACCELERATED FROM A STOP LIGHT WHILE THE CAR WAS IN POWER MODE. WITHIN A FEW SECONDS, THE CAR LOST POWER, AND I COULD NOT KEEP UP SPEED. THE CAR ENTERED A SAFETY MODE THAT ONLY ALLOWS MINIMAL FORWARD MOVEMENT. A FEW SECONDS LATER, THE CAR WOULD NO LONGER MOVE. BEFORE THE CAR STOPPED, SEVERAL LIGHTS ILLUMINATED ON THE DASHBOARD INCLUDING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND POWER STEERING LIGHT. "CHECK HYBRID SYSTEM" ALSO APPEARED ON THE DASH. A FEW MONTHS EARLIER, THIS CAR HAD THE SOFTWARE UPDATE OFFERED BY TOYOTA FOR THE COMPANY'S PRIUS RECALL. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
I OWN A 2010 PRIUS, WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED, THE BRAKE PEDAL IS EVEN WITH THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. I FIND THIS A DANGEROUS SITUATION. IF I WERE TO APPLY THE BRAKES SUDDENLY, MY FOOT COULD POSSIBLY HIT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND THE BRAKE PEDAL AT THE SAME TIME POSSIBLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT! I COMPLAINED TO THE TOYOTA DEALER, AND WAS TOLD THE BRAKE PEDAL IS LOWER ON THE PRIUS THEN CONVENTIONAL VEHICLES.I WAS ALWAYS TAUGHT THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL SHOULD NEVER BE AT THE SAME HEIGHT OR BELOW THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL FOR SAFETY REASONS. TOYOTA APPEARS TO IGNORE THIS SAFETY ISSUE. HAVEN'T AUTO MFG. LEARNED ANYTHING WITH GM IGNITION PROBLEM? WHEN IS THE GOVERNMENT GOING TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THESE AUTO DESIGN DEFECTS? ARE THEY ALWAYS GOING TO WAIT FOR PEOPLE TO GET INTO ACCIDENTS AND POSSIBLY GET KILLED BEFORE THEY ACT? *JS
