My 2013 toyota prius occasionally experiences delays in acceleration and abnormal hybrid function. The dealership says they can't do anything because there are no lights on the dashboard. Corporate toyota doesn't seem to care. I asked if i had to get into an accident before this became an issue. An extra second of unexpected inability to move my car can be very dangerous in my opinion. So when i pull out of a…

2013 prius c two, bought brand new with 15 miles on it 5 weeks ago. A few times when driving, i noticed the brakes seemed weak, like they weren't stopping the car very well even at low speeds. My driving is mostly in town on residential streets, so i'm rarely going over 35 mph. Even so, i'd have to really mash the pedal all the way to the floor to get the car to come to a complete stop, otherwise it would keep…

This vehicle attempts to go 8 mph with the accelerator pedal not depressed at all. It does this any time the car is "on", even if it is in reverse. The brake must be applied to stop the car. Even when the brake is pressed, the computer will apply power to the wheels, which results in the brake having to fight against the motors. Sometimes the car can lurch slightly, and once it hit a curb unexpectedly causing damage…
