ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM
WE HAVE A 2008 PRIUS WHICH HAS A COUPLE OF DANGEROUS THINGS ABOUT IT WHICH THE DEALER SAYS IS 'THE WAY IT'S DESIGNED TO WORK'. 1.I BELIEVE THEY ARE RECALLING THE 2010 PRIUS FOR THIS PROBLEM, BUT THE 2008 HAS IT ALSO. THE CARS BRAKING SYSTEM COMPLETELY RELEASES ALL THE BRAKES, SO FAR I'VE JUST NOTICED IT IN THE REAR WHEELS, WHEN GOING AROUND A CURVE AND THE WHEEL HITS A BUMP AND LOOSES TRACTION. THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT GOES ON AND ALL THE BRAKES ARE GONE FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. IT FEELS AS IF THE CAR IS ALSO ACCELERATING DURING THIS PERIOD OF TIME, BUT THAT COULD JUST BE A RESULT OF LOOSING THE BRAKING SYSTEM. 2.THE ENGINE 'COMPLETELY SHUTS OFF' WHEN THE FRONT WHEELS SPIN. IN SNOW ON A GRADE WHICH CAN EASILY BE DRIVEN ON WITH A VEHICLES SLIPPING FROM TIME TO TIME, THE PRIUS MOTOR SHUTS DOWN WHEN A DRIVING WHEEL SPINS AND ALL FORWARD MOMENTUM IS LOST ' IE AFTER SPIN, NO ENGINE, POWER, SPIN, NO ENGINE SEVERAL TIMES THE CAR COMES TO A STOP IN THE ROAD. I ALSO CAN'T GET UP MY NEIGHBORS DRIVEWAY IF IT RAINS BECAUSE OF THIS. IF CROSSING A LANE OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC FROM A STOP SIGN AND THE WHEEL SPINS WE ARE IN 'MORTAL DANGER' OF BEING HIT. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
I OWN A 2008 TOYOTA PRIUS AND HAVE BEEN READING ABOUT THE 2010 PRIUS BRAKING PROBLEM. I AM EXPERIENCING THE SAME SYMPTONS WHEN I HIT THE BRAKES ON A BUMPY OR POT-HOLED SECTION OF ROADWAY. IT IS A TEMPORARY (SPLIT SECOND) LOSS OF BRAKING POWER. ALTHOUGH I HAVE NOT HAD ANY ACCIDENTS ATTIBUTABLE TO THIS CONDITION, I AM NEVERTHELESS CONCERNED AND WOULD LIKE THE PROBLEM CORRECTED. WILL THE NHTSA EXPAND ITS INVESTIGATION TO INCLUDE TOYOTA'S 2ND GENERATION PRIUS LIKE MINE?

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
WHILE DRIVING MY 2008 PRIUS AT APPROXIMATELY 2 A.M.ON A MOUNTAINOUS ROAD WITH MANY CURVES AND WILDLIFE THE PASSENGER HEADLIGHT WENT OUT IN BOTH THE HIGH AND LOW BEAMS. I WAS STARTLED AND SWERVED, BUT LUCKILY I MAINTAINED CONTROL OF THE CAR. I DID NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING WHILE IT WAS STILL DARK. AT THE FIRST OPPORTUNITY I PULLED OF THE ROAD IN A SAFE PLACE AND SPENT THE REMAINDER OF THE NIGHT IN THE CAR. WHEN IT WAS LIGHT ENOUGH TO CONTINUE I DROVE TO MY DESTINATION AND CALLED THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER AND WAS UTTERLY SHOCKED WHEN I WAS TOLD WHAT IT WOULD COST TO REPLACE THE BULB. I AM ON A FIXED INCOME AND THIS POSED A FINANCIAL HARDSHIP. THE CAR ONLY HAD A LITTLE LESS THAN 20,000 MILES. I HAVE SINCE LEARNED THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. NOT ONLY IS THE COST TO REPLACE A BULB (YES A BULB) RIDICULOUS BUT THIS POSES A SAFETY HAZARD AND TOYOTA SHOULD "BE MADE" TO CORRECT THIS DEFECT. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS
THE HIGH INTENSITY DISCHARGE ("HID") HEADLAMP ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE CONTINUES TO FLICKER ON AND OFF. THE CAR IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY, BUT ACCORDING TO TOYOTA, THEY ARE UNABLE TO REPLICATE THIS AND CONTINUE TO SEND ME BACK ON THE ROAD WITH MALFUNCTIONING HEADLIGHTS. THIS COMBINED WITH ISSUES SURROUNDING THE TRACTION CONTROL (SUBMITTED IN A PRIOR COMPLAINT) RENDER THE VEHICLE DANGEROUS AND I AM NOW UNCOMFORTABLE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. TOYOTA AND MY DEALERSHIP, WALSER TOYOTA OF BLOOMINGTON (MINNESOTA) HAVE REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING. I HAVE NOW SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THE LIGHTS REPLACED AT MY OWN EXPENSE (DESPITE THE FACTORY WARRANTY). *TR

A. DASH LIGHTS WOULD JUST DISAPPEAR (NO DISPLAY FOR SPEED OR GEAR) B. KEY "BOB" WOULDN'T RELEASE AND CAR WOULDN'T TURN OFF. - TWICE C. CAR WOULD "REV-UP" WHEN ENGINE COOL WHILE IN GEAR APPLYING BRAKES 1. TOOK TO DEALER TO RESOLVE - COULDN'T RECREATE THE PROBLEMS AND WAS TOLD TO KEEP THE KEY IN MY POCKET. 2. SECOND TIME WAS ABLE TO TAKE TO THE DEALER WHILE THE PROBLEM WAS HAPPENING. AFTER 30 MINUTES CAME BACK WITH THE SOLUTION OF NOT TO INSERT KEY BOB. THE LIGHTS AND THE "KEY BOB" PROBLEM HAPPEN TWICE. THE ENGINE "REV-UP" HAPPEN WHEN THE CAR WAS COLD AND I WOULD NEED TO MAKE SURE TO FIRMLY APPLY THE BRAKES. THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED I WASN'T SO LUCKY - GOING AT A SPEED OF 40 I STARTED A TURN TO GO UNDER THE FREEWAY WHEN THE ENGINE "REV-UP" AND FORCED ME INTO A CONCRETE WALL... TOTALING THE CAR. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
ACCELERATOR STICKING ON 2008 TOYOTA PRIUS - 5 TO 10 TIMES. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER (BEAVER TOYOTA - SANTA FE, NM). THE FIRST TIME THEY SAID THEY DID NOT KNOW WHAT IT WAS SINCE THEY COULD NOT REPRODUCE IT. THE SECOND TIME THEY SAID IT MUST HAVE BEEN BECAUSE OF THE FLOOR MATS. THE THIRD TIME I CALLED THEY SAID THE FLOOR MATS EVEN THOUGH I HAD REMOVED THEM. I AM UNSURE OF THE FIRST DATE ALTHOUGH IT SHOULD BE IN THEIR RECORDS. IT HAS NOT HAPPENED IN ABOUT 6 MONTHS. WHEN IT HAPPENED I WOULD PUT MY LEFT FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND "PRY" UP THE ACCELERATOR WITH THE FRONT OF MY RIGHT FOOT. THE FLOOR MAT NEVER SEEMED TO BE INVOLVED. MY DATES IN THIS REPORT ARE APPROXIMATE. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I HAVE A 08 PRIUS. SEVERAL DAYS AGO SOMEONE TOLD ME THAT ONE DAY-TIME RUNNING LIGHT WAS OUT. TWO NIGHTS AGO I CHECKED AND BOTH LIGHTS WERE WORKING SO I THOUGHT I WAS OK. LAST NIGHT AFTER DRIVING ABOUT AN HOUR, BOTH HEAD LIGHTS WENT OUT. I TURNED THE SWITCH OFF AND ON AGAIN AND THE LIGHTS CAME BACK ON. ABOUT A MINUTE LATER THE RIGHT LIGHT WENT OFF. AFTER ANOTHER HOUR OF DRIVING THE LEFT LIGHT WENT OUT AND I REPEATED THE TURN ON CYCLE AND IT STAYED ANOTHER COUPLER HOURS. (I DROVE HOME WITH THE FLASHER AS THIS WOULD HAVE ENABLED ME TO SEE THE ROAD A LITTLE IS CASE THE LIGHT WENT OUT AGAIN., ) I MADE IT HOME OK AND AM CONTACTING MY DEALER TODAY. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRIC
IN YEAR OF 2009, I DROVE MY 2008 TOYOTA PRIUS TO VISIT MY FRIEND'S HOUSE ON A LOCAL ROAD. THE WEATHER WAS NICE. WHILE I SAW MY FRIEND'S HOUSE NEAR, I STARTED TO HIT THE BRAKE TO SLOW DOWN, ALL OF SUDDEN, MY CAR GOT SPEEDING UP AND I ENDED UP TO HIT THE ROADSIDE FENCE TO STOP THIS TERRIBLE SHOCK. I SPENT ABOUT $2,500 TO FIX THE FRONT BUMPER COVER AND OTHER SCRATCHES ON MY CAR. UNTIL NOW I READ THE NEWS ABOUT THE DEFECT ON TOYOTA CARS PROBLEM. I FEEL EXTREMELY FRIGHTEN I COULD HAVE GOT KILLED IF I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY DURING THAT TIME. I FEEL I HAVE TO GIVE THIS REPORT ABOUT MY CAR ACCIDENT ON DRIVING MY TOYOTA PRIUS TO LET PUBLIC TO BE AWARE OF. I MENTIONED THIS TO LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER. THEY TOLD ME THAT I HAVE WRONG MODEL OF PRIUS FOR THE PROBLEM THAT I SHOULD NOT HAVE PROBLEM ON THIS PRIUS. I WAS DISAPPOINTED AT THE RESPONSE FROM CAR DEALER WHO DID NOT HAVE AUTO SAFETY CONCERN AT ALL FOR CONSUMER. THIS IS SOMETHING RELATED TO THE HUMAN LIFE WHILE THEY TOOK SUCH QUESTION CARELESSLY. I HAVE LOST THE CONFIDENCE ON TOYOTA AUTO. IF POSSIBLE, I WOULD LIKE TO SEEK TOYOTA TAKE BACK MY PRIUS AND REIMBURSE MY REPAIR COST OF THIS ACCIDENT. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
THE FUEL GAUGE ON MY PRIUS REGISTERED 3 GALLON FUEL REMAINING (ACCORDING TO THE OWNERS' MANUAL). I RAN OUT OF FUEL ON A BUSY EXPRESSWAY WITHOUT WARNING. FORTUNATELY, I WAS NOT HIT. I WAS TOWED TO A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP WHO INFORMED ME THAT THE PRIUS GAS TANK IS A PLASTIC BAG AND THE FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT REGISTER CORRECTLY. I ASKED WHAT TOYOTA WAS DOING ABOUT THIS. I WAS TOLD THAT THEY WERE "LOOKING INTO IT". THAT WAS MORE THAN ONE YEAR AGO. THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP TOLD ME TO KEEP THE GAS TANK 1/2 FULL IN ORDER TO PREVENT MY PRIUS FROM RUNNING OUT OF FUEL. OF COURSE, THIS CUTS THE VEHICLE RANGE IN HALF. I ASSUMED THAT TOYOTA WOULD WORK FOR A SOLUTION, BUT FRANKLY, AFTER ALL THE RECENT REVELATIONS, I WONDER IF TOYOTA HAS LOOKED FOR A SOLUTION. AT THE VERY LEAST, TOYOTA SHOULD INFORM ALL PRIUS OWNERS TO KEEP THEIR GAS TANKS 1/2 FULL IN ORDER TO AVOID THE POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS EVENT THAT I EXPERIENCED. (I AM A REGISTERED PROFESSIONAL ENGINEER, MECHANICAL, STATE OF CALIFORNIA.) *TR

2008 PRIUS:ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHILE BREAKING ON ROUGH ROADS OR OVER MANHOLE COVERS, VEHICLE LOOSES TRACTION(LIGHTS ON DASH FLASH AND BREAKS FAIL) MOMENTARILY. USUALLY ALREADY SLOWING, FEELS LIKE BATTERY POWER STARTING TO TAKE OVER, THEN WHEN YOU GO TO BREAK IT SEAMS LIKE THE BATTERY POWER IS JUST KICKING IN. (A TIMING THING) EXACTLY AS WHAT WAS DESCRIBED IN 2010 PRIUS. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DEALER A YEAR AGO. UNABLE TO REPLICATE. NOTHING DONE. CONTINUES TO HAPPEN. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
ON JUNE 2,2008 MY WIFE BROUGHT HER NEW PRIUS INTO THE GARAGE TO PARK IT AND SUDDENLY IT JUST ACCELERATED AND WENT THROUGH THE GARAGE DOOR AND WALL. DAMAGES TO THE CAR, HOUSE, AND INSURANCE INCREASES TOTALED CLOSE TO $10,000. TOYOTA REPAIRED THE PRIUS AND WE TOLD THEM VERBALLY HOW THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AND THEY SHRUGGED IT OFF. WE HAD BEEN SENT AT ONE TIME A LETTER THAT SAID WE MAY IN THE FUTURE RECEIVE A RECALL NOTICE BUT NEVER DID. THEREFORE WE WOULD HOPE TOYOTA TAKES CARE OF THESE ISSUES SO WE DON'T NEED TO TAKE FURTHER ACTION SEEING IT WAS A MANUFACTURING DEFAULT. WE'VE SENT TOYOTA TWO COMPLAINTS ALREADY AND NOT EVEN ONE WAS ACKNOWLEDGED AND BEING A FAITHFUL BUYER OF TOYOTA'S, WITHOUT ACTION ON THIS ISSUE WE MAY BE FORCED TO PURCHASE OTHER MAKE VEHICLES AND WE WILL REFUSE TO FURTHER PROMOTE TOYOTA UNLESS THE ISSUES ARE REMEDIED TO INCLUDE THE HOME DAMAGE AND OUR INSURANCE SURCHARGE. YOUR ASSISTANCE IN THIS ACCELERATION MANUFACTURING ISSUE WHICH HAS COST US ALMOST $10,000 IS UNCALLED FOR AND TOYOTA SHOULD HAVE BEGUN THE PROCESS OF RECALLS QUITE SOME TIME AGO. THANKING YOU IN ADVANCE FOR ANY ASSISTANCE YOU MAY BE ABLE TO GET FOR US SO WE DON'T HAVE TO SEEK FURTHER ASSISTANCE TO GET THESE ISSUES TAKEN CARE OF AND MY WIFE'S SUFFERING WITH THE CONCERN THAT THIS ISSUE COULD HAPPEN AGAIN. I HAVE ADVISED HER THAT IN SUCH SITUATION IF IT WERE TO OCCUR SHE IS TO SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF IMMEDIATELY AS WELL AS PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND PUT ON THE EMERGENCY BREAK. UNFORTUNATELY OUR LONG STANDING MARRIAGE WITH TOYOTA MAY BE OVER WITH UNLESS WE ARE ASSISTED. *TR

I HAVE A 2008 PRIUS, BUT I HAVE THAT SAME BRAKING ISSUE THAT THE 2010 PRIUS HAS. AT LEAST 3 OR 4 TIMES IN THE PAST, I HAVE HIT A BUMP WHILE BRAKING, USUALLY WHEN APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION, AND THE CAR FEELS LIKE IT SURGES FORWARD OFF THE BUMP, REQUIRING PUSHING THE BRAKE HARDER. IT'S A STRANGE ENOUGH SENSATION THAT IT WOULD MAKE ME SAY "WHOA, THAT FELT WEIRD" EVERY SINGLE TIME, BUT I JUST THOUGHT I DIDN'T BRAKE HARD ENOUGH. UNTIL I HEARD AND READ ABOUT THE 2010 PRIUS BRAKING COMPLAINTS, AND THEN REALIZED THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT HAS BEEN HAPPENING WITH MY 2008 MODEL. IT WAS ALWAYS WHEN BRAKING AND HITTING A BUMP AT THE SAME TIME. SO FAR, THERE'S NEVER BEEN A CAR CLOSE ENOUGH IN FRONT OF ME TO HIT WHEN IT SURGES FORWARD. I DON'T HAVE SPECIFIC DATES FOR THE INCIDENTS, AS I HADN'T BEEN KEEPING TRACK OF THE EPISODES UP UNTIL NOW. BUT YOUR FORM REQUIRES A DATE, SO I'M JUST USING 12/1/09, ALTHOUGH IT HAS HAPPENED SPORADICALLY THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. I SENT AN E-MAIL ABOUT IT TO NHTSA ON 2/9/10. YOU REPLIED BACK ON 2/18/10 THAT IT WAS RECEIVED -- CASE NUMBER 232390 & NHTSA ID: 194611. I HAVE A SERVICE APPT. AT THE DEALERSHIP ON 2/20/10 FOR SOME OTHER WARRANTY ITEMS, AND I ALSO MENTIONED THIS BRAKING ISSUE TO THEM, ALTHOUGH I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY WILL BE ABLE TO DO WITH THE INFORMATION AT THIS TIME, SINCE THE FOCUS IS ONLY ON THE PROBLEM WITH THE 2010 MODEL AT THE PRESENT TIME. BUT IT WOULD APPEAR THAT IT INVOLVES EARLIER MODELS, TOO. *TR

WHEN BRAKING AT 10-15 MPH AND GOING OVER A BUMPY ROAD SURFACE OR POTHOLE, THE VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT FLASHES ON AND OFF FOR 2-3 SECONDS AND I EXPERIENCE WHAT FEELS LIKE A LOSS OF BRAKE POWER DURING THAT TIME. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I AM SLOWING DOWN AND GOING OVER BUMPY ROADS. SO FAR, MY SOLUTION TO CORRECT THIS FAILURE IS TO NOT BRAKE WHEN SLOWING DOWN OVER BUMPY ROADS. NO PARTS HAVE BEEN REPAIRED OR REPLACED. *TR
