Toyota Prius C 2013 Equipment Electrical Navigational System(global Positioning System) Review #10519364

TOYOTA PRIUS C 2013 car safety problem was reported on Oct 01, 2012.TOYOTA PRIUS C 2013, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with EQUIPMENT:ELECTRICAL:NAVIGATIONAL SYSTEM(GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM) . a very dangerous condition exists in the navigation systems, apparently in all models of 2012 and 2013 toyotas equipped with factory installed navigation systems. the problem is that the system fails to produce a voice prompt for turns perhaps as much as 50% of the time. failure of the voice prompt means that you must continually look down at the screen in order to know where and when to turn. i'm certain that this has caused many, many accidents and fatalities as well. there is a warning that comes up every time you turn the system on saying that watching the screen is dangerous and can cause accidents. i have taken the car back to the toyota dealer i bought it from several times, and have demonstrated the failure to them. they acknowledge that the voice prompts are a sometimes thing. at my request, they tested another toyota of the same make and model, and informed me that it had failed as well. i tested a neighbor's 2013 prius c and found it to fail the prompts at the same intersections. i also tested a 2012 prius, and it failed also. the toyota salesman tells me the the same navigation system is used in all but a few 2012 and 2013 toyota models; so i'm assuming that this problem exists throughout at least all 2012 and 2013 toyotas but for a few that use a different system. all four of the toyotas tested, including the one tested by the dealer have failed to provide voice prompts at the same intersections.these are not newly created or remote intersections. one of them is a 6 lane arterial (ne164th ave & se 164th ave. in vancouver, wa).the system has failed on freeway exits and in other cities (stevenson, wa, 54 miles distant, beaverton and portland, or, and longview, wa.) and in clear as well as overcast weather. i've used garmen and tom tom systems extensively without ever experiencing this problem before. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 2000 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):JTDKDTB3XC1. Toyota Prius C 2013 problem was reported in VANCOUVER, WA. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control.

TOYOTA PRIUS C 2013 car safety problem was reported on July 11, 2013.TOYOTA PRIUS C 2013, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with ELECTRICAL SYSTEM . when i pulled up outside of my house and went to open the back hatch, i accidentally hit the lock button. the car then locked - but with my smart key fob and my 10-month-old daughter inside of the car. it is supposed to be impossible to lock the car with the key fob inside. i had no way of getting into the car to get my daughter out - i had to call the police and have them break into the car for me. as the car started and drove twice - from work to my sitter's, from my sitter's to my house - the key was detectable from its location in my car. there is no way it should have locked with the key fob still inside. and i can't emphasize how much of a safety hazard this is - my 10-month-old daughter was in the car. what if it had been a really hot day? what if i had been somewhere where it took the police time to get to me? what if my phone had been locked in the car? while it all turned out fine, it could have been disastrous. and that is unacceptable. the smart key system on my car should never allow the key to be locked inside. *tr .0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):JTDKDTB35D1.

TOYOTA PRIUS C 2013 car safety problem was reported on Apr 26, 2014.TOYOTA PRIUS C 2013, manufactured by Toyota Motor Corporation had a problem with VISIBILITY:GLASS, SIDE/REAR . i got in my car, which was parked in front of my house, at 6:15 pm after a sunny, warm day. when i closed the driver's side door, the back window shattered with an extremely loud bang. the majority of the glass was outside the car, on the street. when i spoke to the claims adjuster for my insurance company after he examined the car, he had some theories about what happened but nothing concrete. he mentioned that perhaps the interior vents were blocked which could have caused pressure inside the car to shatter the back window, so the body shop guys examined those vents. they found them to be clear. both the claims adjuster and the body shop guys asked me if there had been any damage to the glass on back window before the incident, and i said that i had not noticed any. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 4346 miles.

TOYOTA PRIUS C 2013 car safety problem was reported on Dec 15, 2014.TOYOTA PRIUS C 2013, manufactured by Toyota Motor Corporation had a problem with UNKNOWN OR OTHER . at approximately 2:10pm on monday december 10, 2014 i was returning home from a brief trip. i was making the 90 degree right turn into my driveway when i felt my car, a prius, accelerate by itself. but this acceleration was not like what you get when you step on the gas. it was as if the car had a mind of its own and it was going to go! this car has a low horsepower engine and i can't imagine me being able to "lay rubber" with this vehicle and yet the photos my husband took later clearly show tire marks on the asphalt driveway. the car hit my neighbor's concrete block retaining wall and climbed it. the upward thrust was on the passenger side wheel of the vehicle and the car flipped over and came to rest on its windshield. the driver side window was shattered, but no airbags deployed. i was upside down, hanging from the seat belt and shoulder harness. i was not hurt as far as i can determine, which is pretty amazing. i was able to effect an exit from the vehicle, with assistance, through the shattered window. our driveway is pretty short so all this happened within less than 3 seconds and ~20 feet. .Vehicle was involved in a crash. 0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 5000 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):JTDKDTB36D1. Toyota Prius C 2013 problem was reported in NORTH VERSAILLES, PA. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control.
