The car's air conditioning system continually sets itself to the auto position and disables itself where nothing you do can activate the fan the air conditioning the heat anyting, going through all the menus resetting everything turning the car off and on 50 times does no good. This began happening when the car had about ten thousand miles on it and has been more and more common since.

And now have cracked windshield all cause by small rock chip starting in the corners of the windshield. This is getting ridiculous, i have never had this issue with other 2 models or other vehicle i have owned.

I had a very small pebble hit my windshield while driving slowly on a residential street. The initial impact caused several significant cracks running lengthwise and widthwise across my windshield instead of just staring or pitting as traditionally occurs. This is my third prius and i have never experienced a windshield responding this way. It appears online that this has become a very common problem and it is…

My windshield is constantly getting hit with pebbles and now have two large cracks in my windshield. I am not driving any differently than i have since i have owned cars and i am not sure what the problem is. It might be a design problem or the windshield is not strong enough to take the force of a tiny pebble.

Cracked windshield. New model vehicle w 10000 miles windshield cracked from an impact of a small rock or other on the highway. Never had this happen, 30+ years driving. Very thin and fragile glass and complicated expensive electronic sensors will require 2 repair shops, 7 or more combined hours, and many dollars for the repair. Toyota does not cover the repair, although my car is under warranty and i have purchased…

The oem windshields that are installed on new 2016 prius 2 models are clearly not to standard. I have a huge crack across my windshield from a very tiny pebble while traveling at 12 mph. What the heck toyota??? I was traveling on the 101 southbound in la in a merging lane moving at a pace that joggers could keep up with when a stray pebble cracked my entire glass.

The car's windshield seems to be softer than previous models. I had the windshield completely replaced a few months ago, after a failed repair of a large chip. A chip repair was done on the new windshield on april 7th. In the car wash last friday, i noticed several small chips in the windshield. My husband drives a 2016 toyota highlander. His windshield was also replaced early this year. He now has a sizeable chip…

I recently purchased my 3rd toyota in august (2016 prius). I upgraded my 2011 prius because i really needed built in navigation due the nature of my job and my commute. I am currently experiencing issues with the radio/navigation system, which is very frustrating because this is a "brand new" car. The navigation system and radio turn off and on continuously during the most dangerous and inconvenient times (i.e. When…

We had an unexplained blowout in a tire with less than 5000 miles on it on our prius iv 2016 purchased in may. We saw nothing in the roadway that would have caused this. The tire was ripped. There is a recall on this brand, bridgestone/firestone so was this tire at risk? The tire number is p195/65r89s. The warranty is worthless as they could claim road damage and we can't prove otherwise. But we saw nothing that we…

We had a tire blowout on an interstate highway and discovered there was no spare tire in our new car. The device to repair the tire didn't work as the tire was ripped. We had to wait 2 hours for a tow truck, with huge trucks passing us at 80 mph, very close. We were terrified. We still don't know what really happened as we didn't see anything that would have ripped the tire. The car is new, still under warranty.…

On many occasions when i would step on my brake, my car would jerk and thrust forward aggressively. I'd have to step hard on my brake so the car would not catapult past a stop sign or light. It feels like the car is stronger than the brake and out of control. Which is alarming because i pick up my 2 year old granddaughter from daycare and bring her home. It's happened when i turn corners or come to a stop sign or…

The 2016 prius iv we just purchased 2 weeks ago comes with a white dash! The white dash creates a horrible glare when trying to look out either driver or passenger window! The only way to avoid glare is drive with windows down all of the time. Visibility is greatly hampered by the white dash reflection off the windows! This is huge safety issue!

Rodent damaged wiring and casings by eating/damaging both at a cost so far of $2700. I have owned this vehicle for one month. I've been told the warranty does not include the damage. I asked about where the dealership stored the vehicle prior to its delivery to me. I wasn't satisfied with their explanation.

The center display has a mirror high gloss/glare finish. Because of this mirror finish, when the sun is at an angle coming through either the side or back windows, the sun is reflected back into the driver's eyes. There should be a recall on the car to replace center display to prevent accidents.

I took delivery of my 2016 prius in january 2016. At he time of delivery, the speedometer displayed mph, however the owner's manual indicated this could be changed to kph via a simple user interface on the dashboard. I have since learned that such a change is not possible for my car, as it was manufactured early in the 2016 model year production run. The inability to adjust from mph to kph makes it difficult or…
