LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:TRUNK LID:LOCK
THE RUBBER PART TO MY TRUNK LATCH HAS MELTED ALMOST COMPLETELY! IN WARM WEATHER IT TRANSFERS TO MY HANDS. IN WINTER IN COLD WEATHER (BELOW 50 DEGREES) I CAN'T OPEN THE TRUNK AT ALL. NOW THE SURROUNDING PART AROUND MY LATCH HAS LOOSEN. I'M SO FRUSTRATED THAT WHEN I CAN ACTUALLY GET INTO MY TRUNK MY FINGERS ARE COVERED IN TAR. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I WAS DRIVING AT 5:00 AM ON 5-3-14 TO THE BEACH AND MY HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT IN COMPLETE DARKNESS. LUCKILY THERE WAS NO OTHER TRAFFIC AROUND AND I WAS SCARED TO PROCEED ON MY TRIP. I TURNED THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH AND THE HEADLIGHTS CAME BACK ON. I PROCEEDED ON MY TRIP WITH CAUTION AND WHEN IT GOT LIGHT I DROVE WITHOUT MY HEADLIGHTS AND SAFELY GOT TO THE BEACH. THIS INCIDENT COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A BAD CAR ACCIDENT AND DEATH SINCE I WAS IN COMPLETE DARKNESS. WHAT SHOULD I DO ? *TR

ENGINE, SERVICE BRAKES, STEERING, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I HAD MY CAR IN FOR 110,000 MILE SERVICE ON APRIL 25. THEY CHANGED THE OIL, ROTATED THE TIRES, INSTALLED A NEW AIR FILTER AND SAID THAT I NEEDED NEW FRONT BRAKES AND THEY CLEANED AND ADJUSTED THE BACK BRAKES. YESTERDAY AFTER BACKING OUT OF THE GARAGE THE BRAKE LIGHT WARNING LIGHT ALONG WITH THE ABS AND VSC LIGHT CAME ON BRIEFLY. ON INTERSTATE 90 NEARING DOWNTOWN CLEVELAND ALL OF THESE LIGHTS CAME ON AGAIN ALONG WITH A NOISE. I CALLED THE TOYOTA DEALER AND TALKED TO THE SERVICE ADVISOR AND ASKED IF IT WAS SAFE TO GO TO CLEVELAND AND BACK AND HE SAID IF THE BRAKES WORK, IT PROBABLY JUST A SWITCH AND IT WOULD BE OK TO BRING IT IN TOMORROW. WHILE I STILL HAD HIM ON THE PHONE, WE LOST ALL POWER TO THE VEHICLE AND IT DECELERATED DOWN TO 30 BEFORE WE WERE ABLE TO REACH AN EXIT RAMP AND STOP THE CAR IN THE GRASS. I WAS INFORMED TODAY THAT THE PROBLEM IS A LOW VOLT BATTERY THAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED FOR $299. AT NO TIME DID A LOW BATTERY LIGHT COME ON AND I HAVE NOT HAD TROUBLE STARTING THE CAR NOR DO I HAVE DIM LIGHTS. WE WERE FORTUNATE THAT WE WERE NOT KILLED ON INTERSTATE 90 WITHOUT POWER, STEERING OR BRAKES. I THINK THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. *TR

POWER TRAIN
LAST WEEK MY WIFE WAS DRIVING WHEN OUR CAR LOST POWER, BEGAN MAKING UNUSUAL NOISES, AND MULTIPLE WARNING LIGHTS BECAME ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH. SHE STOPPED THE CAR, TURNED OFF THE POWER, AND RESTARTED THE ENGINE; AGAIN THE WARNING LIGHTS REMAINED LIT. WE IMMEDIATELY TOOK THE CAR TO OUR LOCAL DEALER AND LEFT IT OVERNIGHT. THE NEXT DAY THEY INFORMED ME THE TRANSMISSION HAD FAILED AND CHARGED ME $5400 TO REPAIR IT. THE DAY FOLLOWING THE REPAIR THE "CHECK ENGINE" WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN WHILE DRIVING AND REMAINED LIT. WE IMMEDIATELY RETURNED TO THE DEALER. AFTER EXAMINING THE VEHICLE THE DEALER TOLD US THAT THE WATER RESERVOIR FLOAT HAD BECOME STUCK. HE ALSO STATED THAT THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR HYBRIDS WHICH HAVE UNDERGONE MAJOR ENGINE REPAIR. TODAY THEY FURTHER ADVISED THAT WE CONTINUE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE WITHOUT FURTHER REPAIRS. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WITHOUT WARNING, AFTER STOPPING AND TURNING OFF THE ENGINE, MY PRIUS ENGINE WOULDN'T START AND ALL OF THE WARNING LIGHTS WENT ON WHEN I TRIED TO TURN THE ENGINE OVER.. THANKFULLY, I WAS NOT IN AN INTERSECTION OR ON A ROAD WHEN THIS OCCURRED. THE TOYOTA DEALER I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO, TOLD ME I HAD A POAA6 CODE AND NEED TO REPLACE A TRANSAXLE ASSEMBLY. (REPAIR COSTS ARE OVER $4000.00) AFTER A LITTLE BIT OF RESEARCH, IT APPEARS THAT A LOT OF 2007 PRIUS OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PRODUCT FAILURE. I JUST FOUND OUT THAT TOYOTA HAS A SERVICE BULLETIN ABOUT THE PROBLEM BUT DOES NOT COVER THE FAILURE AFTER 60,000 MILES, EXCEPT IN A FEW STATES, SUCH AS CALIFORNIA, WHICH MADE TOYOTA EXTEND WARRANTY TO 150,000 MILES. . NO TOYOTA MECHANIC EVER ADVISED ME ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. HAD I KNOWN IT'S POTENTIAL, I WOULD HAVE PURCHASED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY.

STRUCTURE:BODY, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE BACK DOOR LATCH OF MY 2007 TOYOTA PRIUS HAS DEGRADED ("MELTED" ALMOST). IT NO LONGER FUNCTIONS PROPERLY, AND I AM UNABLE TO OPEN THE BACK HATCH DOOR. SOMETIMES IT REQUIRED CONSIDERABLE EFFORT AND PERSEVERANCE TO GET IT OPEN. I CANNOT OPEN IT ANYMORE AS THE LATCH BROKE. I AM CONCERNED THAT IN THE CASE OF AN EMERGENCY, I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO GET THE DOOR OPEN. THIS IS A MAJOR CAUSE FOR CONCERN AND IT IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD. BLUE 2007 PRIUS IN CUPERTINO, CA. *TR

DRIVING ALONG INTERSTATE 70 AT NIGHT, HEADLIGHT INTENSITY SUDDENLY DROPPED. STOPPED IN A SAFE PLACE ON THE NEXT EXIT RAMP AND DETERMINED THAT BOTH HIGH BEAM AND LOW BEAM OF THE LEFT HEADLIGHT HAD GONE OUT. RESUMED THE REST OF THE TRIP AT A SAFER SPEED. NEXT MORNING, TESTED THE HEADLIGHTS AND THEY ALL WORKED OK, BUT LATER IN THE WEEK THE SAME THING HAPPENED. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
I WAS DRIVING WITHIN THE SPEED LIMIT ON I-40 EAST TOWARD KNOXVILLE ON A FRIDAY EVENING. SUDDENLY ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON AND BUZZERS WENT OFF. I PULLED OVER TO THE RIGHT LANE TO PREPARE TO PULL OVER TO THE SHOULDER OR TAKE THE NEAREST EXIT. TRAFFIC WAS VERY HEAVY WITH LOTS OF TRUCKS. I SAW AN EXIT ABOUT A MILE AHEAD AND TOOK IT. I FOUND I HAD VERY LIMITED BRAKING ABILITY. I PRESSED ON THE BRAKES AND SLOWED DOWN JUST BARELY ENOUGH TO MAKE THE TURN OFF THE EXIT RAMP ONTO BUTTERMILK RD. WHERE THERE WERE NO SERVICES, AND NO OPEN BUSINESSES. I CALLED FOR A TOW WHICH ARRIVED WELL AFTER DARK. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE TOYOTA OF KNOXVILLE DEALERSHIP WHICH WAS CLOSED. ON SATURDAY MORNING I FOUND OUT I NEEDED THE BRAKE ACCUMULATOR REPLACED. THEY TOLD ME THAT THE CAR COULD BE DRIVEN BUT THEY DID NOT RECOMMEND IT BECAUSE THE INCIDENT WOULD HAPPEN AGAIN. I AM FROM MARYLAND AND WAS ABOUT A 10-HOUR DRIVE FROM HOME. I DID NOT WANT TO RISK IT. THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE IN THE AREA AND HAD TO BE ORDERED. IT WAS TUESDAY EVENING BEFORE THE CAR WAS FIXED. THIS WAS THE SCARIEST INCIDENT I HAVE EVER HAD WITH ANY CAR. THIS PART HAS BEEN JUST RECALLED IN OTHER MODELS OF PRIUS. WHAT WAS DESCRIBED AS THE REASON FOR THOSE RECALLS IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED TO ME. *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, AIR BAGS
PARKING MY PRIUS, MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, I HIT A VERY SMALL PATCH OF BLACK ICE WITH THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL. THE CAR SLANTED BRIEFLY TO THE LEFT--THEN THERE WAS A SUDDEN SURGE OF ENGINE POWER. THE CAR RUSHED OVER A MOUND OF ICE AND SNOW, JUMPED THE CURB, RUSHED FORWARD BETWEEN A WALL AND A TREE, NARROWLY MISSING IT, AND CRASHED INTO A PARKED TOYOTA TRUCK FACING OUTWARD FROM THE CURB. MY PRIUS HIT THE HEAVY TRUCK WITH ENOUGH FORCE TO KNOCK IT SIX FEET FOR THEIR NORTH AND THREE FEET TO THE WEST. AFTER IMPACT, THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO MAKE A LOT OF NOISE, A SOUND I'VE NEVER HEARD BEFORE IN SEVEN YEARS OF DRIVING THE CAR. IT WAS ATTEMPTING TO SURGE PAST THE TRUCK, WHICH I BELIEVE CAUSED THE MOST DAMAGE TO THE FRONT LEFT BUMPER OF THE CAR. I WAS STUNNED AND DIDN'T THINK TO TURN OFF THE IGNITION BEFORE IT QUIT ON ITS OWN AFTER PERHAPS TEN SECONDS. THE BODY WAS SHEARED BACK, STRIPS OF BLUE PAINT HANGING IN SHREDS. I CRAWLED OUT THE PASSENGER SIDE UNHURT. (THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY.) *JS

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I WAS RETURNING HOME FROM A TRIP WITH A FRIEND AND DRIVING ON MAJOR FREEWAY LATE AT NIGHT, VERY DARK WITH LITTLE VISIBILITY IN A RURAL, UNLIT AREA. .ALL LIGHTS IN VEHICLE SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING 70-75 MPH. WE COULD NOT SEE ANYTHING EVEN THE ROAD, WAS LIKE DRIVING BLIND AND VERY FRIGHTENING TRYING TO NAVIGATE THE PRIUS OFF THE ROAD SAFELY WITHOUT GETTING HIT BY OTHER VEHICLES. ONCE I STOPPED THE VEHICLE OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD IN THE FAR LEFT LANE WE TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF, BUT LEFT THE HAZARD LIGHTS ON AND LET THE VEHICLE SIT FOR A FEW MINUTES. WE STARTED AGAIN, LIGHTS CAME ON, AND I DROVE THE VEHICLE ANOTHER 100 MILES WITHOUT ANY INCIDENT UNTIL WE ENTERED THE CITY. I HAD A SIMILAR PROBLEM DRIVING THE 12 REMAINING MILES HOME, BUT THE FRONT YELLOW LIGHTS WORKED AND I HAD THE HAZARD AND BRAKE LIGHTS WORKING. THE CITY LIGHTS IMPROVED VISIBILITY. I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN AND THE ONLY PROBLEM THEY COULD FIND WAS WITH ONE OF THE HEADLIGHTS. I WAS TOLD I NEEDED TO REPLACE BOTH. I CAN'T EMPHASIZE HOW DANGEROUS AND FRIGHTENING THIS EXPERIENCE WAS FOR MY FRIEND AND I, STILL UNSURE HOW WE AVOIDED A TRAGEDY. I WOULD LIKE THE NHTSA TO INVESTIGATE AND MAKE A RECOMMENDATION TO HAVE SOME TYPE OF WARNING IN THE VEHICLE. *TR

ONE VEHICLE HEADLIGHT KEEPS GOING OUT BUT WHEN YOU TURN THE LIGHTS OFF AT THE SWITCH, THEN BACK ON THE LIGHT COMES ON AGAIN. THE DEALER CHANGED THE BULB DESPITE US TELLING THEM THE LIGHT COMES ON IF YOU TURN THE SWITCH OFF AND BACK ON. WE HAD THE CONNECTOR CHECKED AND CLEANED TO NO AVAIL. I DID A LITTLE RESEARCH AND IT TURNS OUT THAT MANY OTHER PRIUS OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEMS. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT IS VERY EXPENSIVE TO TROUBLESHOOT AND FIX. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I WAS PULLED OVER WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT BY KANSAS HIGHWAY PATROL AND ADVISED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT HEADLIGHT WAS OUT. I EXITED A FEW MILES UP AHEAD AT WICHITA AND SPENT THE NIGHT. THE NEXT MORNING I DROVE TO MY ORIGINAL DESTINATION OF ENID, OK AND TOOK THE CAR TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE, AND THEY TOLD ME THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG BECAUSE THE HEADLIGHT WORKED PERFECTLY. SINCE THEN, I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THAT HEADLIGHT WORKING ONLY INTERMITTENTLY AND I'VE TAKEN IT TO MY HOME DEALERSHIP IN COLUMBIA, MO (MACHENS TOYOTA) AND BEEN TOLD THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. MY DAUGHTER HAS BEEN STOPPED IN THIS CAR BY LOCAL POLICE TWICE, ADVISING HER THAT THE HEADLIGHT IS OUT, AND I'VE BEEN TOLD THIS SAME THING BY FRIENDS ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. IT SEEMS THAT THE HEADLIGHT WORKS INITIALLY WHEN TURNED ON, THEN IT CEASES TO BE ILLUMINATED AFTER ABOUT A MINUTE OR SO. IF I GO AHEAD AND TURN THE LIGHTS COMPLETELY OFF AND THEN TURN THEM BACK ON, IT WILL WORK AGAIN FOR A MINUTE OR TWO AND THEN GO OUT AGAIN. I HAVE "GOOGLED" THIS AND DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM, AND SOME CONSUMERS HAVE SPENT UP TO $2600 TRYING TO GET VARIOUS PARTS REPLACED AND STILL, THE PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN FIXED. THIS APPEARS TO BE A SERIOUS MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND I CANNOT OR WILL NOT BE ABLE TO AFFORD SPENDING THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TRYING UNSUCCESSFULLY TO REMEDIATE THIS IMPORTANT SAFETY ISSUE! *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
STOP AND GO TRAFFIC ON THE FREEWAY, ACCELERATING WHEN THE TRAFFIC STARTED PICKING UP BUT VEHICLES IN FRONT SUDDENLY STOP AND AS I HIT THE BRAKES ON THE BUMPING FREEWAY THE VEHICLE DOES A BRIEF LURCH FORWARD AS ESP LIGHT BLINKS. VEHICLE DOES NOT STOP UNDER THIS BRAKING CONDITION AND FEELS MOMENTARILY LIKE THERE IS NO BRAKE PRESSURE. AS A RESULT, VEHICLE DOESN'T STOP IN TIME AND HITS THE VEHICLE IN FRONT EVEN THOUGH IT COULD'VE BEEN AVOIDED HAD THE BRAKES WORKED AS THEY SHOULD'VE. *TR

AIR BAGS, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
MY VEHICLE WAS HIT BY A FAULT DRIVER AND MY VEHICLE AIR BAGS NEVER EXPLODED. I HAVE SUSTAINED INJURIES TO MY NECK, WRIST AND BACK AFTER THIS ACCIDENT. MY VEHICLE HAS GAS PEDAL ACCELERATION AFTER THE ACCIDENT AND WHEN I PUT THE BRAKES TO STOP OR SLOW DOWN THE VEHICLE MY VEHICLE JUMPS UP AND INCREASES THE SPEED. I FEAR THAT THIS FAULTY PARTS OF BRAKE OR GAS PADDLE COULD RESULT IN ANOTHER SERIOUS ACCIDENT. THIS IS MY VERY VALUED ASSET BECAUSE IT TAKES ME TO WORK AND BRINGS ME BACK. I HOPE THAT TOYOTA WILL INVESTIGATE MY PROBLEM VERY SERIOUSLY AND VERY CAREFULLY. MY INJURIES ARE VERY SERIOUS AND LONG LASTING AND I AM SEEING DOCTORS FOR THE LAST 13 MONTHS. I NEED HELP VERY VERY SOON. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

12/18/13 IS THE FIRST OF MANY INCIDENTS WHEN THE HEADLAMPS SUDDENLY GO DARK. THE PROBLEM IS RANDOM AND INTERMITTENT, SOMETIMES THE LEFT, SOMETIMES THE RIGHT, SOMETIMES BOTH GO DARK AT ONCE. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. REPLACING THE HEADLAMP DOES NOT CORRECT THE DEFECT. *TR

BRAKE (RED COLOR) WARNING LIGHTS APPEAR WHILE DRIVING AT 55 MPH; YELLOW COLOR INDICATOR ON ABS, VSC. ONCE THESE WARNING LIGHTS APPEAR, I SOMEHOW LOSE 25-50% OF MY BRAKING POWER. NOT SURE WHAT IS WRONG DESPITE GETTING BRAND NEW WHEELS, REPLACED ALL-NEW ROTORS, BRAKE PADS, OIL AND FILTER CHANGE. THIS IS THE 5TH TIME IT HAS HAPPENED IN THE LAST FEW WEEKS. TOYOTA SHOULD BE HELD LIABLE AND TO REPLACE THE FULL COST OF ANY NECESSARY FIXES TO THE HYDRAULIC BRAKES OR RUN A DIAGNOSTIC OF THE ENTIRE VEHICLE'S ELECTRICAL OR BRAKES SYSTEM OR ANYTHING THAT LEADS TO THE DASHBOARD WARNING LIGHTS AT 100%. THIS WILL BE A SERIOUS ISSUE BECAUSE IT CAN LEAD TO SERIOUS ACCIDENTS IF OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE EXPERIENCE THE SAME ISSUES. *TR

THE TRUNK HANDLE HAS MELTED - TURNING THE RUBBER INTO A STICKY GOO - AND ONE IS UNABLE TO OPEN THE TRUNK. LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER REMOVED AND REPLACED THE REAR HATCH SWITCH AT THE COST OF $310.22..THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER INFORMED ME THAT THIS REPAIR WAS NOT UNEXPECTED IN THAT A SIMILAR PROBLEM ON THE SCION HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED AND IS BEING REPAIRED BY TOYOTA AT THEIR EXPENSE. OTHER REPORTS ON THE WEB HIGHLIGHT THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE PRIUS. REQUEST HAVE BEEN SENT TO TOYOTA TO COVER THE COST OF THIS REPAIR, BUT THEY HAVE REFUSED TO PAY FOR THIS DEFECT. *TR

THE HEADLIGHT WENT OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I FOUND OUT THAT HEADLIGHTS CAN ONLY BE CHANGED BY THE DEALERSHIP. THE EARLIEST APPOINTMENT TO CHANGE A LIGHTBULB IS THE FOLLOWING WEDNESDAY (MORE THEN A WEEK LATER), AND THE ESTIMATED COST FOR THE CHANGE IS OVER $500. THIS CAUSES INCREDIBLE HARDSHIP - THIS IS SOMETHING THE BUYER SHOULD HAVE BEEN TOLD OF BEFORE BUYING THE VEHICLE. *TR

HYBRID BATTERY FAILED. THE BATTERY IS HYPED AS LASTING THE LIFETIME OF YOUR CAR. 7 YEARS AND 131K IS NOT A LIFETIME IN MY OPINION. IF I LIVED OR BOUGHT MY CAR IN CA, IT WOULD BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. BECAUSE I LIVE IN ALABAMA, IT IS NOT. WARRANTY SHOULD BE STANDARDIZED. *TR
