Automobile continued to accelerate and even speed up with foot on the brakes. While stopped, waiting to turn, car would still accelerate, even speed up, into on-going traffic. This has been happening since i purchased the auto, but is now happening more frequently and for longer periods. Never reported because it only happened for a brief moment. However, in the last week this happened twice and i couldn't control…

Although toyota issued a recall notice in october of 2018 for our 2011 prius, the affected part was not available and the letter stated we would be notified when the repair could be made. On feb. 5 our check hybrid system warning came on and the car was difficult to drive with diminished acceleration/power--certainly a safety issue in our area's heavy traffic. The auto nation toyota ft myers, fl dealership said the…

Horn does not work when wheels are straight. Horn works when wheels are turned completely left only. I believe it is the spiral cable assembly. Toyota wants $1,093.00 to repair this problem. Other toyota vehicles have placed a recall on this issue. This issue should be recalled on this vehicle. Have researched this safety problem on other prius vehicles and many others have had the same horn problems. Affected…

On november 4, during a routine maintenance appointment, it was discovered that our prius is completely invaded with mice, from where the wind sheild meets the dashboard, all the way through the entire car - between the visible interior and the metal frame - to the rear hatch door latch. We learned that toyota is well aware of this problem,​ due to how it is designed, which greatly allows for rodents to enter…

Driver side door lock failed and shortly thereafter the front passenger door lock also failed. We have owned a total of five prius vehicles since 2007 and have never experienced this problem before this dual failure. Judging from the number of complaints on this site and info gathered during internet research it appears this is a widespread problem, most likely due to poor quality or defective door lock actuators. A…

I was driving on a highway in the country, go about the speed limit of 55 when i heard a very loud sound like an explosion or gunshot. I had the cover to the sunroof open and when i looked up i could see that the sunroof was shattered, crackled everywhere, but intact. When i pulled over to look at it from the outside, i could not see any debris from anything that would have hit it.. Instead it appears to bow from…

2011 toyota prius 3. ( most models 2010-2014) engineering design flaw allows mice to easily access inside of the vehicle through air system. When mice are present while driving this creates a driving distraction that can lead to an accident or death. Toyota corp refuses to acknowledge the problem, but the dealership does field complaints but will not act because toyota refuses to acknowledge the problem an order a…

I noticed around 90,000 miles that my car began consuming oil at any accelerated rate, so i didn't think too much about it. Then i noticed that i my oil gauge was turning on every 1,000-1,200 miles, my car was completely out of oil. I went online to toyota prius forums and started doing more research and this is a common problem for 2010-2011 prius's. Bob smith toyota, in la crescenta, who sold me the car, ran an…

I have a 2011 prius, and it failed toyota's oil consumption test twice, around 110,000 miles. It consumes oil way so quickly that i have to add oil 2-3 times between scheduled oil changes. Bob smith toyota (la crescenta, ca) performed the test per toyota's instructions and acknowledged the problem but did not take any measures to remedy the problem. There are hundreds of thousands of 2010-2012 toyota prius owners…

On two separate occasions in december of 2013, with two different drivers, the brakes on our 2011 model year prius (purchased new in february 2012), failed to engage. The first time occurred when i was driving (with one of my teenagers in the car with me), and the second time occurred when my wife was driving the car alone. In both instance we pressed the brake pedal, but the brakes failed to respond at all.…

Rear visibility seriously hampered because no camera installed in vehicle. Toyota motor car company knows from experience the serious safety & financial consequences of not addressing a safety issue & a camera providing the driver rear visibility could dramatically save the life of person(child) at rear of vehicle. It is to be noted toyota installed camera in the prius only when navigation sys. Is purchased.
