ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN MY VEHICLE'S CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. SHORTLY AFTER I SAW A LARGE AMOUNT OF SMOKE COMING FROM THE ENGINE. I PULLED OVER AND SHUT OFF THE CAR. CAR SMELLED LIKE BURNED PLASTIC AND SMOKE. I WAS WORRIED THAT THE CAR COULD CATCH ON FIRE OR BLOW UP! I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO MY NEAREST TOYOTA DEALERSHIP.TOYOTA CLAIMED THAT THE THREE WAY COOLANT CONTROL VALVE HAD FAILED AND THE STEAM CAME FROM A RUPTURED LINE IN THE COOLANT SYSTEM. THE JOB COST ME $422.32. I DIDN'T MIND PAYING THE SERVICE BUT AFTER CAREFUL RESEARCH INTO THE PROBLEM WITH THE 3-WAY CONTROL VALVE ON THE PRIUS I HAD LEARNED THAT THIS IS A WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM.APPARENTLY THE VALVE TENDS TO STICK CAUSING NO FLOW OF THE COOLANT FLUID. I FEEL TOYOTA SHOULD FIX THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT EITHER BY GETTING BURNED FROM A RUPTURED LINE OR THE CAR CATCHES ON FIRE. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
2005 TOYOTA PRIUS WITH HID HEADLIGHTS WHICH HAS SELF LEVELING FEATURE. HAVE NOTICED FOR A WHILE THE HEADLIGHTS ARE SHINING LOW, CAN'T SEE SUFFICIENTLY AHEAD OF CAR. HEADLIGHTS CAN NOT BE MANUALLY ADJUSTED. FOUND ONLINE SEVERAL REPORTS INDICATING THE CONTROL MODULE THAT SENDS THE LEVELING MESSAGE TO CONTROL THE HEADLIGHTS WHICH IS MOUNTED ON THE DRIVER SIDE REAR AXLE FAILS WHEN WATER ENTERS THE DEVICE AND CORRODES THE UNIT. POOR CONTRUCTION OF THIS UNIT LEAD TO WATER INFILTRATION AND HAS RESULTED IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION DUE TO THE POOR HEADLIGHT PERFORMANCE. TOYOTA HAS BEEN CONTACTED AND THEY HAVE NOT ANSWERED IF A RECALL IS WARRENTED EVEN THOUGH APPARENTLY THE MALFUNCIONING UNIT HAS BEEN REDESIGNED TO STOP WATER INFILTRATION NOR WILL THEY PROVIDE THE NECESSARY REPAIR WITHOUT CHARGING FOR IT. *TT

EXTERIOR LIGHTING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I WAS DRIVING WITH MY TWO CHILDREN ON THE 405 NORTH FREEWAY JUST SOUTH OF THE 10 FREEWAY AT 9PM IN MY TOYOTA PRIUS 2005. I HAD ISSUES WITH ONE OF THE HEADLIGHTS ALREADY. IT WOULD FLICKER AND THEN TURN OFF WITHOUT WARNING. LAST SUNDAY, HOWEVER, BOTH HEADLIGHTS FAILED, INCLUDING ALL INTERIOR LIGHTS, AS I WAS SPEEDING DOWN ON OF THE BUSIEST FREEWAYS IN THE COUNTRY AT NIGHTTIME. IT WAS PRETTY TERRIFYING. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE UP, NO SPEEDOMETER DISPLAY IS ILLUMINATED. THE DISPLAY FOR THE VEHICLE ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROLS (MILES PER GALLON/ENERGY USE) STILL WORKS. ALONG WITH THE SPEEDOMETER DISPLAY, THE REAR HATCHBACK DOOR DOES NOT WORK. I TRIED TO ADJUST THE INSIDE LIGHT DISPLAY TO SEE IF THE LIGHT LEVEL WAS TURNED OFF. THIS WAS NOT PROBLEM. I TURNED THE LIGHT ADJUSTMENT KNOB IN BOTH DIRECTIONS, AND STILL NO SPEEDOMETER DISPLAY. UPON TRYING TO TURN OFF THE ENGINE, IT WILL NOT TURN OFF. I WAS ABLE TO SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF BY DISCONNECTING THE CAR BATTERY IN THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR HATCH BACK AREA. NOTE THAT BECAUSE THE REAR HATCH BACK DOOR DOES NOT WORK, ALL THE VEHICLE PARTS WHICH LEADS TO THE REAR BATTERY HAS TO BE TAKEN OUT FROM THE REAR SEAT OF THE VEHICLE. ONE PARTICULAR TIME I DISCONNECTED THE CAR BATTERY ON THE BLACK PORTION OF THE BATTERY,AND THE VEHICLE DID NOT SHUT OFF. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES, AND BECAUSE THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY. TOYOTA WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE IT. HOWEVER, ONE DAY WHEN IT WAS NOT WORKING, I BROUGHT IT IN TO THEM. THEY LATER CLAIMED THAT IT WAS A "COLD START" PROBLEM TO THE COMPUTER THAT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SPEEDOMETER DISPLAY (BESIDES OTHER THINGS, REAR HATCH BACK DOOR, CRUISE CONTROL, ETC.). TOYOTA CLAIMED THEY FOUND THE PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET, AND IT WAS NOT A RECALLED PART. THIS PARTICULAR PART (COMPUTER) NORMALLY HAPPENS ONLY IN THE STATES THAT ARE VERY COLD. *TR

THE HEADLIGHTS WENT OFF SUDDENLY (OF COURSE I WAS NIGHT DRIVING); I STOPPED, TURNED THE LIGHTS OFF AND BACK ON AND THEY WORKED FOR ABOUT 15 MINUTES. THE DRIVER SIDE LIGHT THEN WENT OUT AND I HAD TO PULL OVER, TURN THEM OFF, BACK ON AND THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON. THIS IS CURRENTLY AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM BUT ONE THAT NEEDS RESOLUTION. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING, EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS
WHILE DRIVING MY 2005 TOYOTA PRIUS ON AN EXPRESSWAY AT NIGHT THE PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT WENT OUT. THERE WAS NO LIGHTS ON THE EXPRESSWAY AND I NEARLY HIT A PARKED CAR ON THE SIDE OF THE EXPRESSWAY. I PULLED OVER AT THE NEXT EXIT AND CHECKED THE HEADLIGHTS. THE PASSENGER HEADLIGHT WAS INDEED OUT. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND WENT INTO THE RESTROOM. WHEN I CAME OUT AND RESTARTED THE CAR THE HEADLIGHT WAS ON. FIVE MINUTES LATER THE HEADLIGHT WENT OUT AGAIN. I TURNED THE LIGHTS OFF, THEN ON AGAIN AND IT CAME BACK ON. THIS HAPPENED AT LEAST TWENTY TIMES DURING THE FOUR HOUR TRIP HOME. SCARY AND DANGEROUS IN MY BOOK. *KB

GAUGE CLUSTER ON MY 2005 TOYOTA PRIUS IS COMPLETELY DEAD. I CANNOT SEE ANY INFORMATION SUCH AS SPEED, TEMP, FUEL, ETC. ALSO, THE CAR DOES NOT TURN OFF WHEN I PUSH THE ON/OFF BUTTON. DEALER SAYS THAT IT WILL COST $1000 TO DIAGNOSE AND FIX. I AM VERY CONCERNED, AS THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE! *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
BRAKES ON 2005 TOYOTA PRIUS STARTED INTERMITTENTLY ACTING UP ABOUT A YEAR AGO, AFTER SIX YEARS OF NO PROBLEMS. OBSERVED SYMPTOMS WERE EXTREME JERKINESS OF BRAKE OPERATION DESPITE CONSTANT PRESSURE ON BRAKE PEDAL. SYMPTOMS OBSERVED AT ANY SPEED, BUT ESPECIALLY NOTICEABLE AT SLOW SPEEDS (COMING TO A FINAL STOP, SUCH AS AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, OR IN REVERSE BACKING OUT OF DRIVEWAY). WHEN APPLYING BRAKES AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, JERKINESS FELT LIKE ALTERNATE OVER BRAKING / UNDER BRAKING. SYMPTOMS WERE QUITE SCARY THE FIRST TIMES IT HAPPENED. HAD PERSONAL MECHANIC CHECK OUT BRAKES. TEST DRIVE CONFIRMED PROBLEM, BUT HE WAS UNABLE TO FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH HYDRAULIC BRAKE SYSTEM. SINCE PROBLEM WAS INTERMITTENT, WE DECIDED TO SEE WHAT HAPPENED. PROBLEM CONTINUED INTERMITTENTLY, GRADUALLY INCREASING IN FREQUENCY TO THE POINT IN THE LAST MONTH WHERE IT WAS HAPPENING MUCH MORE OFTEN THAN NOT. TOOK CAR TO TOYOTA DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS. PROBLEM WAS NOT EVIDENT ON DAY OF SERVICE. THEY CHECKED COMPUTER FOR STORED ERROR CODES, AND FOUND NONE. REAR BRAKE DRUMS SHOWED SLIGHT WEAR AND WERE OUT OF ADJUSTMENT, SO DRUMS WERE CLEANED AND TURNED AND BRAKES ADJUSTED. NO DIFFERENCE IN OBSERVED BEHAVIOR; BY END OF THE NEXT DAY, JERKY BEHAVIOR NOTED AS BAD AS IT HAD EVER BEEN. TOOK CAR BACK TO DEALER. THEY REPLACED THE STROKE SENSOR EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS NO STORED ERROR CODE. THIS APPEARS TO HAVE FIXED THE PROBLEM, SINCE THERE HAS BEEN NO RECURRENCE OF PROBLEM IN A WEEK OR DRIVING SINCE REPAIR. BRAKES FEEL TOTALLY NORMAL AGAIN, FOR THE FIRST TIME IN A YEAR. NOTE ON DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE: THE DEALER SEEMED TO INITIALLY DISCOUNT MY DETAILED, WRITTEN DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM, AND REACTED ONLY TO THEIR OBSERVATIONS. WHILE UNDERSTANDABLE, IT IS FRUSTRATING TO THE OWNER AND COULD LEAD TO A SERIOUS PROBLEM NOT GETTING FIXED. I FEEL THAT THE SYMPTOMS AS DESCRIBED TO THEM POINTED DIRECTLY TO THE STROKE SENSOR AND IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPLACED ON THAT BASIS. *TT

UNKNOWN OR OTHER, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
ON 7/31/11 I NOTICED MY CRUISE CONTROL WOULD NOT SET. THE LIGHT CAME ON INDICATING THE CRUISE WAS ON, BUT I COULD NOT GET THE SPEED TO HOLD. THE NEXT DAY, THE CRUISE CONTROL WORKED. MIDDAY ON 8/1/11 WHILE PARKED, I SHIFTED TO THE D POSITION, BUT THE LIGHT INDICATED I WAS IN N. I SHIFTED BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN R AND D SEVERAL TIMES, BUT THE LIGHT INDICATED N. I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE AND THE CAR MOVED BACKWARD. THE LIGHT INDICATED N AND THE KNOB WAS IN THE D POSITION. IT DID THIS SEVERAL TIMES. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AND EVERYTHING WORKED LIKE IT IS SUPPOSED TO. ON 8/1/11 AT APPROXIMATELY 10:30 P.M. I WAS DRIVING HOME ON A NARROW, TWO-LANE RURAL HIGHWAY. ON A BLIND CURVE, BOTH OF MY HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT. I COULD NOT SEE ANYTHING. I TRIED CYCLING MY HEADLIGHTS OFF AND ON AND NOTHING HAPPENED. I APPLIED MY BRAKES AND STOPPED. I OPENED MY DOOR TO SEE WHERE I WAS IN THE ROADWAY AND DETERMINED I WAS ON THE FOG LINE ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND THERE WAS A HILLSIDE LESS THAN 5' FROM ME. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE TO THE SHOULDER ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROAD BY USING THE LIGHT FROM MY DOOR. I WAS EXTREMELY LUCKY NO CARS PASSED BY WHILE MY LIGHTS WERE OUT. I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED OR CAUSED A CATASTROPHE. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AND BOTH HEADLIGHTS CAME BACK ON. A MOTORIST STOPPED TO ASSIST. I WAS ABLE TO FOLLOW HIM TO A STORE WHERE A FRIEND MET ME AND I FOLLOWED HIM HOME. DURING THE DRIVE HOME ONE OF MY HEADLIGHTS KEPT TURNING OFF. BOTH DID NOT GO OFF TOGETHER AGAIN. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER ON 8/3/11 AND WAS TOLD I NEED A NEW AUXILIARY BATTERY AND TWO NEW HEADLIGHTS. COST IS GOING TO BE AROUND $700. I READ ABOUT A CLASS ACTION SUIT REGARDING 2006-2009 PRIUS' HEADLIGHTS AND THAT TOYOTA KNOWS THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THEM. I BELIEVE THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL BECAUSE OF MY HARROWING EXPERIENCE AND THOSE OF MANY OTHERS.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I HAVE A 2005 TOYOTA PRIUS WITH HID HEADLIGHTS. THEY BEGAN FAILING, FIRST IT WAS ONLY THE DRIVERS SIDE LIGHT, AND INFREQUENTLY. I FOUND THAT WHEN I TURNED THE LIGHTS OFF AND ON AGAIN, THE HEADLIGHT WORKED AGAIN. BECAUSE OF THE HIGH COST OF REPLACEMENT, I LIVED WITH THE PROBLEM. RECENTLY, BOTH LIGHTS FAILED ON A BACK COUNTRY CURVY ROAD. FOR AN INSTANT EVERYTHING WAS TOTALLY BLACK. I QUICKLY TURNED THE LIGHTS OFF AND ON AND WAS ABLE TO SWERVE TO GET BACK ON THE ROAD. AS A RESULT, I AM GOING TO HAVE TO PAY NEARLY $1,000 TO HAVE BOTH HEADLIGHTS REPLACED AT MY EXPENSE, SINCE I HAD MORE THAN 50,000 MILES ON MY PRIUS. TOYOTA CUSTOMER CARE TOLD ME THAT I WOULD NOT BE COVERED BY A CLASS ACTION CASE FOR THE HID BULB REPLACEMENT BECAUSE MY CAR IS A 2005 AND IS NOT COVERED IN THE CASE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE A RECALL. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
PASSENGER FRONT HID HEADLIGHT WAS INTERMEDIATELY OPERATIONAL FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. EVENTUALLY IT WOULD NOT COME BACK ON. TOYOTA DEALER QUOTED $350+ FOR PART AND $150+ FOR LABOR, PER HEADLIGHT. ACCORDING TO OTHER PRIUS OWNERS AND INTERNET ARTICLES, THIS ISSUE IS APPARENT TO BE A MANUFACTURER DEFECT; BUT TOYOTA REFUSES TO ADMIT IN ORDER TO PREVENT A RECALL. UNWILLING TO PAID FOR TOYOTA'S MISTAKES, THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN WITH ONLY ONE HEADLIGHT FOR SOME TIME. UNTIL RECENTLY STOPPED BY POLICE AND ISSUED A TRAFFIC VIOLATION WARNING. FOR SAFETY REASONS AND TO PREVENT FUTURE VIOLATIONS , REPLACED THE BURNT HID BULB ($50+ FROM AMAZON.COM) PERSONALLY (FOLLOWED PROPER PROCEDURES). A WEEK LATER, THAT SAME BULB WENT OUT. MORE EVIDENT INDICATING THE ISSUE IS NOT WITH THE BULB; BUT WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AND TOYOTA IS NOT WILLING TO PAID FOR THEIR OWN MISTAKES. SHAME ON TOYOTA!!! *TR
