2010 Prius dome light does not come on when the door is opened.
I was a happy 2004 Prius owner until 4 days ago when, while driving at about 60 mph on a foggy/drizzly 60 degree F. day on freeway blacktop, all warning lights on the dashboard suddenly illuminated, after which I took my foot off the accelerator, I have a 2002 Toyota Prius. I complained about the extensive vibration in 2007 (very low mileage 36300) and was told that the there was a recall only on the 2001 Prius and I was over the 36000, 3-year warranty. I was told that the the 2002 Prius We had 2 problems with our 2012 Prius C - 1. when transitioning from battery to motor, a significant impact resulted 2. at low speeds, brake pedal traveled to floor, witnessed by technician. There were NO BRAKES! One might assess that both I have a 2009 Prius. The drivers side rear door window shattered while the car was in my driveway. The car wasn't overly hot inside because I have refective screen on windshield and had been using the car only 30 minutes ago. The shatter patter From moving too far over concrete stops, I damaged the front black piece of plastic shielding under the front bumper of my 2010 Prius. How seriousl is this? Do I need to replace it? If so, can I replace it myself? Where would you recommend I g

TOYOTA PRIUS 2007 Safety Review #10175872
TOYOTA PRIUS 2007 car safety problem was reported on Dec 10, 2006.TOYOTA PRIUS 2007, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with EQUIPMENT:ELECTRICAL:NAVIGATIONAL SYSTEM(GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM) . COMPLAINT IS IN REGARD TO THE TOYOTA PRIUS NAVIGATIONAL SYSTEM. IT HAS A GPS SYSTEM, BUT ENTRIES ARE BLOCKED UNLESS THE CAR IS STATIONARY. I DRIVE OUR NATION'S MAJOR HIGHWAYS AND HAVE TO PULL OVER TO THE SHOULDER TO MAKE AN ENTRY (NEAREST RESTAURANT, HOTEL, TOURIST ATTRACTION, ETC.). AN OFFICER PULLED OVER AND SAID THAT MY CONSTANT PULLING OVER IS CREATING A SAFETY HAZARD. I'VE SEEN OTHER CARS PULLING OVER AND STOPPED TO TALK TO THEM AND THEY ARE ALSO TRYING TO ENTER SOMETHING IN A TOYOTA VEHICLE GPS. I AGREE THAT BLOCKING THE DRIVING FROM ENTERING INTO THE GPS IS A PRUDENT SAFETY FEATURE. BUT IN ALL THE CASES I DESCRIBED, IT WAS THE PASSENGER WHO WAS DOING THE NAVIGATION. I'VE READ ON THE INTERNET THAT A LARGE NUMBER OF PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO CUT INTO THE WIRING OF THE CAR OR CHANGE IT'S PROGRAM BY HACKING INTO THE SERVICE SCREENS. ALL OF THESE CREATE POTENTIAL SAFETY HAZARDS. TOYOTA IS THE ONLY AUTO MANUFACTURER WHO FORCES THE CUSTOMER TO HAVE A STATIONARY CAR, LEADING TO ALL THESE PROBLEMS. I SUGGEST THAT THIS SAFETY BLOCK PROVIDES A WAY FOR CUSTOMERS TO BYPASS IT TO AVOID THESE PROBLEMS I AM SEEING. THIS IS A GROWING PROBLEM AFFECTING MORE AND MORE CARS. WHEN COLLISIONS AND DEATHS OCCUR, IT WON'T BE CLEAR TO THE INVESTIGATORS WHAT CAUSED IT. IF YOU CAN PURSUE THIS AT THE WARNING STAGE, PERHAPS WE CAN AVOID DEATHS AND ACCIDENTS BEFORE THEY OCCUR. *JB.Mileage was 15 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):JTDKB20U373.

TOYOTA PRIUS 2007 Safety Review #10196362
TOYOTA PRIUS 2007 car safety problem was reported on June 16, 2007.TOYOTA PRIUS 2007, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC . WHEN ATTEMPTING AN EMERGENCY STOP, THE BRAKES FAILED TO OPERATE AS EXPECTED. THERE WAS NO FEELING OF ANY BRAKING, AND THERE WAS NO SURGE TO INDICATE THAT THE ABS WAS OPERATING. THE EXPERIENCE WAS SIMILAR TO THOSE REPORTED ON THE WEB PAGE HTTP://WWW.HYBRIDCARS.COM/FORUMS/BRAKE-FAILURE-2007-T1013.HTML?S=500A78277EA2CB675FAC1F9567000BEE& I HAVE TAKEN IT TO A PRIUS DEALER, AVONDALE TOYOTA, BUT IN THE ABSENCE OF ANY COMPUTER CODES AND THE FACT THAT SUBSEQUENT TESTS OF THE ABS SYSTEM DID NOT INDICATE A PROBLEM THEY WERE UNABLE TO OFFER ANY KIND OF EXPLANATION OR REPAIR. I HAD APPROXIMATELY THREE TO FOUR CAR LENGTHS FROM ME TO THE NEXT CAR AT ABOUT 30 MPH, ENOUGH SPACE THAT I BELIEVE I SHOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO BRAKE WITHOUT COLLISION.

ALARM WAS GOING OFF, SO I PULLED FORWARD JUST ENOUGH TO SEE IF THE BRAKES WERE WORKING AT ALL AND THEY WERE PROBABLY 98% GONE. I PARKED, GOT TOWED TO DEALER NEAR MY HOME WITH AAA. I LATER FOUND OUT THAT A PAIR OF ABS SKID CONTROL RELAYS (2 88263-21010) CAUSED THE PROBLEM. NOTHING MECHANICAL FAILED. THESE RELAYS CAUSED MY ENTIRE BRAKING ABILITY TO BE LOST. I BELIEVE THIS IS AN UNSAFE DESIGN AS THERE IS NO MECHANICAL CONNECTION AVAILABLE AT THE PEDAL IF YOU HAVE THIS ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. SOME MECHANICAL BRAKES SHOULD BE AVAILABLE. THE EMERGENCY BRAKE IS ON / OFF ONLY AND NO IN BETWEEN. I WOULD LIKE TO FIND WHAT LEGAL REMEDIES ARE AVAILABLE TO ME AS I AM CONSIDERING CHANGING TO A SAFER VEHICLE DUE TO THIS DESIGN FLAW. AS IN POWER BRAKES, IF YOU LOSE THE POWER BRAKES, YOU CAN STILL STOP THE VEHICLE, THOUGH DIFFICULT SINCE THERE IS STILL A MECHANICAL HYDRAULIC SYSTEM IN PLACE EVEN WITH A FAILED POWER BOOSTER. *TR THE CONSUMER ALSO STATED THE MASTER CYLINDER FAILED.

THIS INCIDENT INVOLVES MY 2007 TOYOTA PRIUS HYBRID THAT I HAVE OWNED FOR ALMOST A YEAR. AS I WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH AND PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AS I APPROACHED A RED LIGHT, THE RED BRAKE WARNING CAME ON THE DASH AS DID THE ABS WARNING LIGHT. MY FOOT WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND I HAD NO BRAKES. LUCKILY I HAD A RIGHT TURNING LANE THAT I COULD VEER INTO AND NOT HIT THE STOPPED VEHICLES IN FRONT OF ME. AS I CONTINUED TO PUSH THE BRAKE TO THE FLOOR AND MANEUVER THE VEHICLE OUT OF TRAFFIC, IT SEEMED TO CATCH A LITTLE AND I WAS ABLE TO SLOW THE VEHICLE EVENTUALLY TO A STOP. I PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK AS IT WAS STILL RUNNING, AND PULLED OUT THE OWNER'S MANUAL. THE MANUAL SPECIFICALLY STATED THAT IF THESE TWO WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON AT THE SAME TIME, YOU WERE TO "STOP IMMEDIATELY AND CONTACT YOUR TOYOTA DEALERSHIP". THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I DID. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED INTO THEIR FACILITY THAT EVENING. THE NEXT DAY I WAS INTERROGATED BY THE MECHANIC AFTER A DIAGNOSTIC REPORT WAS DONE ON MY CAR. HE WANTED TO KNOW WHEN I LET THE CAR RUN OUT OF GAS. I HAVE NEVER LET MY CAR RUN OUT OF GAS, AND IN FACT THAT JUST FILLED THE TAKE THE DAY BEFORE THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED. THE MECHANIC COULDN'T TELL ME WHAT WAS WRONG AND CONTACTED TOYOTA'S CORPORATE OFFICE. TWO DAYS LATER, I WAS ADVISED THAT THE REASON THE BRAKES DIDN'T WORK WAS BECAUSE I "LET THE CAR RUN OUT OF GAS "AND THIS CAUSED THE ENGINE TO SHUT OFF. I ARGUED THAT THE CAR HAD NEVER RUN OUT OF GAS AND THE ENGINE DIDN'T SHUT OFF, THE BRAKES WENT OUT. THE SERVICE MANAGER PULLED OUT THE DIAGNOSTIC TEST SHOWING THAT "AT SOME POINT" THE CAR HAD RUN OUT OF GAS----THIS TEST DOESN'T GIVE A DATE OF WHEN THIS MAY HAVE HAPPENED.

MAY 22, 2008 TOYOTA MOTOR SALES, U.S.A., INC. 19001 SOUTH WESTERN AVE. DEPT. WC11 TORRANCE, CA 90501 DEAR SIRS: I HAVE BEEN A LONG-TIME TOYOTA CUSTOMER AND LAST YEAR PURCHASED A 2007 PRIUS. I AM ALSO A SUBSCRIBER TO CONSUMER REPORTS MAGAZINE. ALTHOUGH I AM DELIGHTED WITH THE COMFORT, HEADROOM, GAS MILEAGE, CONVENIENCE, QUIET AND APPEARANCE OF THE CAR, THERE IS A REAL SAFETY ISSUE. WHEN I WAS INITIALLY RESEARCHING A NEW AUTOMOBILE, I DISMISSED SOME PEOPLES¿ REPORTS OF ¿SUDDEN ACCELERATION¿ AS BEING INACCURATE. HOWEVER, IT IS REAL, AND I HAVE FIGURED OUT UNDER WHAT SPECIFIC CIRCUMSTANCES IT OCCURS. AT THE END OF DECELERATION FOR A STOP LIGHT, STOP SIGN, OR JUST BEFORE A TURN, WHEN THE CAR IS TRAVELING 5-10 MPH, MORE COMMONLY ON A DOWNHILL INCLINE, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, WHEN THE PAVEMENT IS IRREGULAR OR BUMPY, MY PRIUS WILL TRANSITION FROM ELECTRIC TO GASOLINE POWER AND MAKE A SUDDEN FORWARD LUNGE FORWARD LASTING 1-2 SECONDS. ON MOST OCCASIONS, THE LUNGE IS MILD, REQUIRE A LITTLE EXTRA BRAKE PRESSURE. BUT SOME TIMES, THE LUNGE IS MORE SEVERE, REQUIRING FIRM BRAKE PRESSURE TO AVOID STRIKING THE AUTOMOBILE IN FRONT OF ME. I REPORTED THIS TO MY LOCAL DEALER, HUNTINGTON TOYOTA, IN HUNTINGTON, NEW YORK, AT MY LAST MAINTENANCE VISIT. THE TECHNICIAN WROTE THAT THE CAR WAS ¿OPERATING NORMALLY,¿ ALTHOUGH I IMAGINE IT IS DIFFICULT TO TEST THESE EXACT CIRCUMSTANCES. I WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR REPLY AND INVESTIGATION INTO THIS SAFETY ISSUE. SINCERELY, PAUL L. KRAWITZ CC: NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION CONSUMERS UNION. *TR .0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 11000 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):JTDKB20U177.

TOYOTA PRIUS 2007 car safety problem was reported on July 19, 2008.TOYOTA PRIUS 2007, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with STEERING . I WAS DRIVING MY 2007 TOYOTA PRIUS (ONLY 2 1/2 YEARS OLD WITH 10K MILES ON IT) THROUGH A CURVY ROAD WHEN THE VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM BEGAN TURNING ON AND OFF ERRATICALLY, MUCH MORE THAN WAS CALLED FOR ON AN A MOSTLY SMOOTH ROAD. I COULD TELL SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH THE SYSTEM AND THAT IT WAS MALFUNCTIONING, SO I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO INVESTIGATE. UNFORTUNATELY IT WAS DARK AND I WAS ON A NARROW, WINDY BUSY ROAD SO I QUICKLY DECIDED THERE WAS NOTHING I COULD DO TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. I GOT BACK IN MY CAR AND CONTINUED DOWN THE ROAD AT A SLIGHTLY DECREASED SPEED 20-25MPH. A COUPLE OF MINUTES LATER I WAS DRIVING INTO A CURVE AND TRIED TO TURN THE WHEEL. I TURNED THE STEERING WHEEL BUT THE WHEELS DIDN'T REACT. THE STEERING WHEEL OFFERED NO RESISTANCE AS I TURNED IT BACK AND FORTH AND I WAS QUICKLY HEADING INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND POINTED TOWARDS A STEEP DROPOFF INTO A CANYON. AT THIS TIME THERE WEREN'T ANY WARNING LIGHTS OR INDICATOR LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD TO INDICATE SOMETHING WAS GOING ON, BUT THERE WAS A LOUD WARNING BEEP AT SOME POINT. AFTER ABOUT 2-3 SECONDS THE STEERING RESPONDED AGAIN BUT WHEN IT TURNED BACK ON I WAS TURNING SO HARD ON THE WHEEL THAT MY CAR NOW VEERED SHARPLY TO MY RIGHT TOWARDS A ROCK FACE WALL ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I RECOVERED ON TIME AND PULLED OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I WAS TOO SCARED TO DRIVE THE CAR, SO I HAD IT TOWED TO A TOYOTA DEALER. THEY LOOKED IT OVER AND CLAIMED NOTHING WAS WRONG AND THAT THERE WAS NOTHING MORE THEY CAN DO FOR ME. I COULD HAVE DIED THAT NIGHT AND ALMOST HIT MANY CARS. I AM PETRIFIED TO DRIVE MY CAR EVER AGAIN AND WORRIED THIS COULD HAPPEN TO MORE PEOPLE, SO I WANTED TO WARN YOUR AGENCY. I PLAN ON CONTACTING TOYOTA HEADQUARTERS AS WELL TO COMPLAIN AND INSIST THEY CHECK MY CAR BECAUSE EVEN IF THIS ONLY HAPPENS ONE MORE TIME, IT COULD BE FATAL. *TR.Mileage was 10714 miles.

SWITCHING THE ON/OFF SWITCH GETS THEM BACK ON, BUT THEY OFTEN POP OFF AGAIN - WITHOUT WARNING. WE BROUGHT THIS TO THE DEALERS ATTENTION THREE TIMES. TWICE THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG. THIS TIME THE TECH SAID THE CAR NEEDED A NEW WIRING ASSEMBLY, BUT THE SERVICE COUNTER GUY TRIED TO SAY IT NEEDED A BULB.

DEALER SAID LEFT SIDE IS 1/2" LOWER TO GROUND THAN RIGHT SIDE OF CAR. DEALER SAID THAT IS NORMAL AND ACCEPTABLE. I COMPLAINED THAT WHEN I TURN RIGHT, CAR SEEMS TO ROLL EXCESSIVELY AND FEELS UNSTABLE. WHEN I TURN LEFT, CAR & SUSPENSION FEEL FINE - MINIMAL LEAN OR BODY ROLL. PURCHASED CAR NEW IN JAN. 2007. HAD FRONT END ALIGNMENT WITHIN A MONTH OR TWO, WHICH IMPROVED PULLING TO THE LEFT. HOWEVER, HANDLING STILL FELT AS DESCRIBED ABOVE, SO I HAD DEALER CHECK ALIGNMENT AGAIN. DEALER SAID IT WAS WITHIN SPECS. DEALER ALSO ADVISED ME AT THAT TIME THAT THE LEFT SIDE OF CAR WAS 1/2" LOWER THAN RIGHT SIDE. I'VE MADE SEVERAL RETURN VISITS TO TWO DIFFERENT DEALERS [POWAY TOYOTA AND BOB BRIDGE TOYOTA IN RENTON, WA]; BOTH DEALERS SAY ALIGNMENT IS OK. *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 1000 miles.

I WAS SHOCKED THAT THESE HID BULBS DID NOT HAVE A LONGER LIFE, FAILED SO SUDDENLY AND AT THEIR HIGH COST OF REPLACEMENT. IT IS A SERIOUS DANGER TO BE DRIVING AT NIGHT AND HAVE YOUR HEADLIGHTS FAIL, PARTICULARLY WHEN REPLACEMENT IS NOT A SIMPLE OR INEXPENSIVE TASK. THE BULBS ARE NOT EASILY ACCESSIBLE. PUBLIC FORUMS SHOW THAT THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE IN THE TOYOTA PRIUS, THE REPLACEMENTS ARE FROM A DIFFERENT MANUFACTURER AND HAVE NO REPORTED PROBLEMS, YET NO RECALL WAS MADE. *TR.Mileage was 37000 miles.

TOYOTA PRIUS 2007 car safety problem was reported on Dec 08, 2008.TOYOTA PRIUS 2007, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with EXTERIOR LIGHTING . HEADLIGHTS TURN OFF RANDOMLY. SOMETIMES LEFT, SOMETIMES RIGHT, SOMETIMES BOTH. AFTER READING ONLINE CHAT FORUMS, MANY OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE, SPANNING MULTIPLE YEARS OF THE PRIUS. THE DEALER WORKED ON MY CAR YESTERDAY AND 'FIXED IT' BUT LAST NIGHT THE PROBLEM CAME BACK.. IT SEEMS THE DEALER DOESN'T WANT TO REPLACE THE $1,100 PART THAT CAUSES THIS ISSUE, THE HID CIRCUIT BOARD. I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM FOR ABOUT 3 MONTHS NOW, AND SINCE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, TOYOTA SHOULD BE FORCED TO RECALL THESE DEFECTIVE COMPONENTS. WHEN YOU TURN THE LIGHTS OFF AND THEN BACK ON, THE LIGHT WILL FUNCTION AGAIN FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME, AND THEN GO OFF AGAIN. THE DEALER SUGGESTED HITTING THE HEADLIGHT, (NOT EASY TO DO WHEN YOU ARE ON THE HIGHWAY) I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR AT NIGHT, WITH THE POTENTIAL TO GET PULLED OVER BY POLICE, OR HAVE AN ACCIDENT DUE TO LACK OF HEADLIGHTS. *TR.Mileage was 28000 miles.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA PRIUS. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE HEADLIGHTS FAILED. THE DEALER STATED THAT THEY WOULD NOT REPAIR THE VEHICLE UNDER WARRANTY, WHICH WOULD COST SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS TO REPAIR. THE DEALER BANGED ON THE HEADLIGHTS AND THEY ILLUMINATED AGAIN. THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED THAT IF SHE BANGED ON THE HEADLIGHTS, THEY WOULD FUNCTION CORRECTLY. THE FAILURE WAS NOT DUE TO THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. IN ADDITION, THE TWO BRAKE LIGHTS ALSO FAILED. SHE CONTINUED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE BECAUSE THE FAILURE DID NOT RECUR FOR SOME TIME. IN NOVEMBER OF 2008, WHILE DRIVING AND ENTERING THE HIGHWAY, THE PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT DIMMED AGAIN. ALMOST IMMEDIATELY, THE CONTACT WAS PULLED OVER BY THE POLICE AND GIVEN A WARNING ABOUT THE HEADLIGHTS. THE DEALER STATED THAT THEY WOULD INSPECT THE FAILURE AND, IF THE BANGING WORKED, THIS WOULD REMEDY THE ISSUE UNLESS THE CONTACT CHOSE TO REPAIR THE ISSUE AT HER OWN EXPENSE. SHE SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALER, BUT HAD TO CANCEL. IN DECEMBER OF 2008, WHILE DRIVING WITH ONE HEADLIGHT, THE OTHER HEADLIGHT FAILED. AS A RESULT, NEITHER HEADLIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED. WHILE READING OTHER COMPLAINTS ON THE ISSUE, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT ONE CONSUMER STATED THAT WHEN THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH WAS TURNED OFF AND THEN ON AGAIN, THEY WORKED PROPERLY. THIS REMEDY WAS SUCCESSFUL IN ALLEVIATING THE CONTACT'S FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED.

I HAVE NOTICED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS (SOMETIMES OTHER DRIVERS POINT IT OUT) THAT ONE OF THE HEADLIGHTS GOES OUT. THEN, AT OTHER TIMES THE OTHER HEADLIGHT GOES OUT. USUALLY, WHEN IT HAPPENS, TURNING THE LIGHTS OFF THEN BACK ON CORRECT THE PROBLEM. HOWEVER, THIS DOESN'T ALWAYS WORK AND USUALLY IT DOESN'T LAST VERY LONG. I TOOK THE CAR INTO OUR LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. BOTH HEADLIGHTS WERE WORKING AT THE TIME. TOYOTA REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING STATING THAT IN ORDER FOR THEM TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM I WOULD HAVE TO BRING IT BACK WHEN ONE OR BOTH OF THE LIGHTS FAIL. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE (A "BULLETIN" HAS BEEN ISSUED). I CALLED TOYOTA CORPORATE AND THEY AGREED WITH THE POLICY. THE PROBLEM IS A SAFETY HAZARD (THE FAILURES OCCUR RANDOMLY. ALSO, I'M AFRAID THAT, LIKE OTHER COMPLAINTS THAT I HAVE READ, I WILL BE PULLED OVER BY THE POLICE AND TICKETED. IN THAT EVENT, IF THE HEADLIGHTS ARE WORKING WHEN I AM ABLE TO DRIVE TO THE DEALERSHIP, TOYOTA WILL REFUSE TO FIX THE DESIGN FLAW AND DRIVING WITHOUT YOUR HEADLIGHT AT NIGHT IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY HAZARD.

TOYOTA PRIUS 2007 car safety problem was reported on Oct 15, 2008.TOYOTA PRIUS 2007, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with EXTERIOR LIGHTING . THE HID HEADLAMPS ON MY 2007 TOYOTA PRIUS WILL CUT OUT SPORADICALLY WHILE DRIVING. SOMETIMES IT IS THE LEFT LAMP AND SOMETIMES IT IS THE RIGHT LAMP. FORTUNATELY BOTH HEADLAMPS HAVE NOT CUT OUT AT THE SAME TIME (SO FAR). STRANGELY, WHEN THIS HAPPENS, IF I TURN THE HEADLAMP SWITCH OFF AND QUICKLY TURN IT BACK ON, THE AFFECTED LAMP WILL COME BACK ON - FOR A WHILE- NOT ALWAYS FOR THE SAME LENGTH OF TIME. IF IT HAPPENS REPEATEDLY, THE OFF AND THE ON AGAIN SWITCH ACTION WILL WORK EVERY TIME. THE TOYOTA SERVICE PEOPLE SAY THAT THIS BEHAVIOR IS TYPICAL OF AN HID LAMP GOING BAD AND OFFERED TO REPLACE THEM FOR $203+ PER LAMP. UPON REVIEWING MANY DISCUSSIONS ON SEVERAL INTERNET FORUMS SUCH AS PRIUSCHAT.COM IS BECOMES CLEAR THAT THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN WIDESPREAD ON PRIUS MODELS WITH HID HEADLAMPS AS FAR BACK AS 2006, AND NO SINGLE FIX HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED FOR THE PROBLEM. I THEREFORE, HAVE NOT REPLACED THE HEADLAMPS SINCE THIS DOES NOT, IN AND OF ITSELF, ALWAYS CURE THE PROBLEM, AND I DIDN'T WANT TO MAKE THE $400-$500 EXPERIMENT THAT LIKELY WOULD NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. SINCE THESE HID LAMPS ARE TOUTED AS LASTING AS LONG AS THE CAR, IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THIS IS NOT A NORMAL WEAR AND REPLACEMENT SITUATION. I FIRST NOTICED THIS PROBLEM AT AROUND 30,000 TO 35,000 MILES- HARDLY APPROACHING THE CAR'S LIFETIME. I CONSIDER THIS TO BE A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE AND A MAJOR MANUFACTURING FLAW FOR WHICH TOYOTA SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR CORRECTING AT THEIR EXPENSE. *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 30000 miles.

TOYOTA PRIUS 2007 car safety problem was reported on Dec 02, 2008.TOYOTA PRIUS 2007, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with EXTERIOR LIGHTING . IN THE LAST MONTH THE HEADLIGHT ON MY 2007 TOURING PRIUS HAVE HAD INTERMITTENT OUTAGES. ONE HEADLAMP OR THE OTHER MIGHT FAIL TO COME ON, OR STOP WORKING WHILE DRIVING. EVERY SO OFTEN, BOTH HEADLIGHT STOP WORKING WHILE DRIVING. AND ONCE, IN THE FOG, WHEN I TURNED ON MY FOGLIGHTS, THE HEADLIGHTS TURNED OFF. IF I TURN THE HEADLIGHTS OFF, AND BACK ON, BOTH LAMPS MIGHT WORK, OR ONE OR THE OTHER REMAIN OFF... THAT THIS CAN HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING IS A SAFETY ISSUE. TOYOTA SERVICE OFFERED TO CHANGE THE FAILED HEADLAMP AT $400, BUT SINCE I COULD NOT IDENTIFY A PARTICULAR LAMP, WOULD DO BUT AT DOUBLE THE COST, BUT COULD NOT GUARANTEE THAT WOULD FIX IT. AND FROM THE INFORMATION ON VARIOUS PRIUS FORUMS, CHANGING THE BULBS OUT WILL NOT SOLVE THIS ISSUE. *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.TOYOTA PRIUS 2007 problem was reported in DEER PARK, CA.

TOYOTA PRIUS 2007 car safety problem was reported on Oct 15, 2008.TOYOTA PRIUS 2007, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with EXTERIOR LIGHTING . 2007 TOYOTA PRIUS, NEW, OCTOBER 2006; NO PROBLEMS UNTIL SEPT. 2008, APPROX. 26000,MILES; HEADLIGHT ON PASSENGER SIDE INTERMITTENTLY GOES OUT; COMES BACK ON LATER. I DID NOT KNOW THAT I COULD POSSIBLY MAKE IT WORK BY TURNING OFF/ON, AS I RECENTLY FOUND OUT ON THIS SITE. THE DRIVER SIDE HEADLIGHT ALSO HAS GONE OUT A FEW TIMES-UNKNOWN IF THEY WERE BOTH OUT AT SAME TIME. RIGHT SIDE TAILLIGHT ALSO GOES OUT OCCASIONALLY. UNLIKE THE HEADLIGHT, I COULD MAKE THE TAILLIGHT GO BACK ON BY "BANGING" ON IT. AFTER BEING STOPPED BY POLICE, BOTH LIGHTS OUT ON PASSENGER SIDE, I MADE APPOINTMENT WITH DEALER WHERE PURCHASED, THEN WENT ON LINE TO CHECK FOR SIMILAR PROBLEMS: WOW! 25 PAGES ON THIS SITE, AND 50+ PAGES ON TOYOTA CHAT FORUM. DEALER INDICATED "NO PROBLEM", LESS THAN 36,000 MILES, STILL UNDER WARRANTY. I HAD REPAIRS MADE TODAY, ALL WORKING FINE AT PRESENT. ONE BIG DIFFERENCE NOTICED: HEADLIGHTS MUCH BRIGHTER TONIGHT THAN THEY WERE. I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG IT HAS BEEN SINCE THEY BECAME DIM, SINCE IT PROBABLY WAS GRADUAL. I ASKED DEALER, WITH ALL THESE REPORTS OF FAILURE, HOW LONG IS WARRANTY ON NEW BULBS, AND WAS TOLD 1 YEAR. DEALER PRICE FOR INSTALLING NEW BULBS: ABOUT $400.00 EACH; THEY CAN BE PURCHASED FROM DEALER FOR THE "LOW" SUM OF ONLY $150.00 EA. I STRONGLY FEEL THAT THERE IS SOMETHING MAJOR WRONG WITH SUCH A LIGHTING SYSTEM, AS IT IS QUITE DIFFICULT TO KNOW WHEN ONE LIGHT IS NOT WORKING, AS THEY BECOME DIMMED. THERE SHOULD DEFINITELY BE A RECALL TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. HOW MANY OTHER OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM, AND SIMPLY PAID HUGE $$$ TO HAVE IT TAKEN CARE OF, NOT KNOWING THAT IT IS APPARENTLY WIDESPREAD? *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 26000 miles.

TOYOTA PRIUS 2007 car safety problem was reported on Dec 13, 2008.TOYOTA PRIUS 2007, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with EXTERIOR LIGHTING . I OWN A 2007 TOYOTA PRIUS. I AM EXPERIENCING FAILURE WITH THE HIGH INTENSITY HEADLIGHT SYSTEM. WHILE DRIVING, THE HEADLIGHTS WILL SHUT OFF UNEXPECTEDLY. SOMETIMES, IT'S ONLY ONE HEADLIGHT (CAN OCCUR ON EITHER THE DRIVER OR PASSENGER SIDE), OTHER TIMES, IT'S BOTH HEADLIGHTS. BEING WITHOUT PROPER HEADLIGHTS CAN CAUSE DANGEROUS DRIVING CONDITIONS. I CAN TURN THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH OFF AND BACK ON AND THE HEADLIGHTS COME ON, ALTHOUGH THEY MAY GO OFF AGAIN. BEFORE TAKING THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, I RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM AND FOUND THAT TOYOTA ISSUED TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN T-SB-0030-08 DESCRIBING THE PROBLEM. WHEN I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, THE DEALERS SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE TOLD ME THAT THE TSB DID NOT APPLY AND THAT THE HEADLIGHT BULBS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. AFTER REPLACING THE HEADLIGHT BULBS (AT MY EXPENSE), THE PROBLEM CONTINUED. NEXT, THE DEALER REPLACED THE HID ECU AND THE PROBLEM CONTINUED. FINALLY, THE DEALER REPLACED THE HEADLIGHT CONNECTION AND HARNESS. THE FINAL CORRECTIVE ACTION IS JUST WHAT THE TSB RECOMMENDED. SO, I'M OUT THE COST OF NEW HEADLIGHT BULBS ($600) WHICH I DIDN'T NEED. IN ADDITION, EACH TIME I HAD TO TAKE THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER, I HAD TO DRIVE AROUND WITH FAULTY HEADLIGHTS. I HAVE FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE SAME FAILURE AND FEEL THAT THE ISSUE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY THE MANUFACTURER VIA A FORCED RECALL. THE REPAIRS ARE NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND TOYOTA DID NOT HOLD THEMSELVES RESPONSIBLE FOR THE FAILURE. MILEAGE AT THE TIME OF THE FIRST FAILURE WAS APPROXIMATELY 52,500 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS 57,264. *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 52500 miles.

TOYOTA PRIUS 2007 car safety problem was reported on Feb 05, 2009.TOYOTA PRIUS 2007, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL . AT 4:45 PM ON 2/5/2009 , I DROVE MY 2007 TOYOTA PRIUS WEST ON SW ANDOVER ST. IN SEATTLE WA. I SLOWED AS I MADE A RIGHT TURN TO PARK PERPENDICULAR TO THE STREET WITH A 6 FOOT HIGH CHAIN-LINK FENCE IN FRONT OF ME ON TOP OF A RETAINING WALL. THE BOTTOM OF THE WALL IS 6 FEET BELOW STREET LEVEL ON A PAVED PARKING AREA. AS THE PRIUS APPROACHED THE FENCE, I BRAKED TO STOP, BUT THE CAR DID NOT SLOW ,SO I FLOORED THE BRAKE. THE CAR HIT A FENCE POST, PULLING IT OUT OF ITS MOUNT AND THEN THE CAR MOVED OVER THE TOP OF THE WALL PUSHING THE POLE AND FENCE OVER ITS HOOD & ROOF,. THE FRONT OF THE PRIUS DROPPED TO THE AREA BELOW THE WALL WHILE THE REAR REMAINED ON THE TOP. THE FENCE MESH STRETCHED BUT SLOWED THE PRIUS'S FORWARD MOVEMENT AND KEPT THE REAR FROM GOING OVER THE WALL.. THE DASHBOARD WAS STILL LIT AND I LOWERED THE ELECTRICAL WINDOWS AND YELLED FOR HELP. THE FIRST ARRIVAL TOLD ME TO "TURN OFF THE CAR". THIS IS SIGNIFICANT BECAUSE THE ONLY WAY HE COULD HAVE KNOWN THE CAR WAS RUNNING WAS IF HE HEARD THE SOUND OF THE PRIUS'S GASOLINE ENGINE THAT ONLY KICKS IN AT HIGHER SPEEDS.

TOYOTA PRIUS 2007 car safety problem was reported on Feb 05, 2009.TOYOTA PRIUS 2007, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with ELECTRICAL SYSTEM . AT 4:45 PM ON 2/5/2009 , I DROVE MY 2007 TOYOTA PRIUS WEST ON SW ANDOVER ST. IN SEATTLE WA. I SLOWED AS I MADE A RIGHT TURN TO PARK PERPENDICULAR TO THE STREET WITH A 6 FOOT HIGH CHAIN-LINK FENCE IN FRONT OF ME ON TOP OF A RETAINING WALL. THE BOTTOM OF THE WALL IS 6 FEET BELOW STREET LEVEL ON A PAVED PARKING AREA. AS THE PRIUS APPROACHED THE FENCE, I BRAKED TO STOP, BUT THE CAR DID NOT SLOW ,SO I FLOORED THE BRAKE. THE CAR HIT A FENCE POST, PULLING IT OUT OF ITS MOUNT AND THEN THE CAR MOVED OVER THE TOP OF THE WALL PUSHING THE POLE AND FENCE OVER ITS HOOD & ROOF,. THE FRONT OF THE PRIUS DROPPED TO THE AREA BELOW THE WALL WHILE THE REAR REMAINED ON THE TOP. THE FENCE MESH STRETCHED BUT SLOWED THE PRIUS'S FORWARD MOVEMENT AND KEPT THE REAR FROM GOING OVER THE WALL.. THE DASHBOARD WAS STILL LIT AND I LOWERED THE ELECTRICAL WINDOWS AND YELLED FOR HELP. THE FIRST ARRIVAL TOLD ME TO "TURN OFF THE CAR". THIS IS SIGNIFICANT BECAUSE THE ONLY WAY HE COULD HAVE KNOWN THE CAR WAS RUNNING WAS IF HE HEARD THE SOUND OF THE PRIUS'S GASOLINE ENGINE THAT ONLY KICKS IN AT HIGHER SPEEDS. I OPENED THE DOOR AND JUMPED DOWN TO THE PAVEMENT. THE POLICE CAME AND MADE A REPORT. I DID NOT RECEIVE A CITATION. THE PRIUS WAS EXTRACTED BY A TOW COMPANY AND HAULED AWAY. FORTUNATELY I RECEIVED NO PHYSICAL INJURY. THE CHAIN LINK FENCE WAS TRULY A SAFETY NET. ON 2./12/ 2009, MY INSURANCE COMPANY , USAA, DECLARED MY PRIUS "TOTALED" AND MADE A SETTLEMENT PAYMENT.

HEADLIGHTS HAVE STARTED GOING OUT STARTING ABOUT 40K MILES. SOMETIMES 1 LIGHTS, SOMETIMES BOTH. DEALER WANTS $300 PER LIGHT PLUS LABOR TO REPLACE. SAYS NOT COVERED UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY. SEVERAL WEB SITES LIST SAME COMPLAINT FROM OWNERS OF 2006 & 2007 (IN THE HUNDREDS IF NOT MORE). OTHERS STATE THEY'VE HAD LIGHTS REPLACED & ISSUE CONTINUES. HAVE ALSO READ THIS IS A COMPUTER CHIP ISSUE THAT HAS BEEN FIXED IN NEWER MODELS BUT TOYOTA DOESN'T ACKNOWLEDGE. I DRIVE VERY EARLY IN THE MORNING & HAVE A 2ND JOB DOING DELIVERIES IN THE EVENINGS. MANY TIMES I'M DRIVING & THE LIGHTS WILL DIM OR 1 LIGHT WILL GO OUT (RANDOM AS TO WHICH LIGHT) OR BOTH LIGHTS WILL GO OUT. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS, ESPECIALLY ROADS WITHOUT STREET LIGHTS. I NOW HAVE A SPOT LIGHT IN MY CAR THAT'S PLUGGED IN SO I CAN GET SOME LIGHTING TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. PRIUS OWNERS HAVE FOUND THAT TURNING THE LIGHTS OFF & BACK ON WILL SOMETIMES GET THEM TO WORK AGAIN. WITH MINE, SOMETIMES THEY WORK AGAIN FOR A FEW MINUTES, SOMETIMES LONGER. I NEVER KNOW WHEN IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN. I ALSO LIVE IN MD WHERE BY LAW WE'RE REQUIRED TO HAVE LIGHTS ON IN THE RAIN. WHAT RECOURSE DO WE HAVE AS CONSUMERS TO GET TOYOTA TO FIX THIS ISSUE ON 2006/2007 PRIUS MODELS? I DON'T HAVE THE FUNDS TO REPLACE HEADLIGHTS AT THE COST BY THE DEALER. I'VE TRIED TO REPLACE ON MY OWN FOLLOWING DIRECTIONS IN THE OWNER'S MANUAL, BUT YOU CAN'T ACTUALLY GET TO THE LIGHTS WITHOUT REMOVING PART OF THE CAR. I'VE NEVER HEARD OF A VEHICLE THE OWNER'S CAN'T CHANGE THE HEADLIGHTS THEMSELVES. I DON'T BELIEVE THERE HAVE BEEN DEATHS OR DAMAGES YET. YET! PLEASE HELP US. *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 40000 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):JTDKB20U577. TOYOTA PRIUS 2007 problem was reported in MOUNT AIRY, MD.

IN MID-FEBRUARY THE DRIVER'S SIDE HID (HIGH INTENSITY DISCHARGE) LIGHT BULB ON MY 2007 PRIUS BEGAN INTERMITTENTLY GOING OUT.

I HAVE BEEN TOLD I MUST REPLICATE THE PROBLEM AT THE DEALERSHIP IN ORDER TO RECEIVE AN AFTER WARRANTY REVIEW FOR "ASSISTANCE" WITH THE REPAIR. AS THE ISSUE IS RANDOM AND INTERMITTENT, THIS WILL REQUIRE ME TO DRIVE TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH ONE OR BOTH HEADLIGHTS OUT, WHICH CREATES AN UNACCEPTABLE SAFETY RISK.

TOYOTA PRIUS 2007 car safety problem was reported on Mar 31, 2009.TOYOTA PRIUS 2007, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with EXTERIOR LIGHTING . 2007 TOYOTA PRIUS HEADLIGHTS FAILURE. LIGHTS FLICKER ON AND OFF DURING DRIVING. SOMETIMES GO OFF AND STAY OFF, SOMETIMES DON'T GO OFF FOR DAYS. I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE A FEW NIGHTS AGO AND BOTH LIGHTS WENT OUT. I SLOWED DOWN AND PULLED OVER AND AT THE SAME TIME TURNED THE LIGHT SWITCH OFF AND ON AGAIN AND THE LIGHTS CAME BACK ON. THE LIGHTS ON THE VEHICLES BEHIND ME GAVE ME ENOUGH LIGHT TO PULL OFF THE ROAD, BUT WHAT IF THERE WAS NOT A VEHICLE BEHIND ME? THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP STATES BULBS ARE BLOWN AND QUOTE ME A PRICE OF $525.00 AND THEY TELL ME THAT BLOWN HEADLIGHTS ARE NOT COVERED UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY. MY COMPLAINT IS THAT IF THE HEADLIGHTS WERE BLOWN, WHY DO THEY WORK SOMETIMES. AND WHAT IF SOMEONE'S LIGHTS FAIL AND THEY CAN'T SEE HOW TO GET OFF THE HIGHWAY IN TIME TO PREVENT AN ACCIDENT? *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 55000 miles.

TOYOTA PRIUS 2007 car safety problem was reported on Nov 01, 2008.TOYOTA PRIUS 2007, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with EXTERIOR LIGHTING . LEFT HEADLIGHT IS INTERMITTENTLY FAILING. NIGHT DRIVING SAFETY IS IMPAIRED BY THIS. CURRENTLY, 1 BULB IS INTERMITTENT, BUT IF BOTH FAIL... THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM. HAPPENS MOST TIMES THE CAR IS USED, BUT NOT FOR SURE. WHEN IT FAILS, I CAN USUALLY FIX IT BY TURNING THE CAR OFF, AND BACK ON AGAIN. LOCAL DEALER SWAPPED THE LEFT AND RIGHT BULBS, NOW PROBLEM IS ON THE RIGHT. THIS INDICATES THAT THE BULB IS THE PROBLEM, NOT THE 'BALLAST' / COMPUTER. BACKGROUND: HID HEADLAMPS REQUIRE HIGH VOLTAGE TO START, AND MEDIUM VOLTAGE TO OPERATE. A COMPUTER OR BALLAST DOES THIS VOLTAGE CONTROL. PRIUS WITH HID HAVE A HUGE NUMBER OF FAILURES IN THIS AREA. TOYOTA IS STONEWALLING, AND WON'T FIX UNLESS YOU'VE BEEN A LOYAL CUSTOMER OF SOME DEALERSHIP. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, AND, IN MY MIND, SHOULD HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH LOYALTY, OR CHANGE IN RESIDENCE, OR ANYTHING. I BOUGHT THE CAR USED [ W/37K MILES ON IT, IN MAY 08 ], AND AN EXTENDED WARRANTY [ TOYOTA 'EXTENDED CARE' ].

AFTER I OPENED THE AUTOMATIC ELECTRIC GARAGE DOOR AND WAITED FOR MY WIFE TO ENTER FROM OUR HOME AND SEAT HERSELF IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT I STARTED THE VEHICLE, GEARED IT INTO REVERSE TO PREPARE TO BACK OUT OF OUR ATTACHED INDOOR GARAGE. 2. AS I STARTED TO BACK UP, PROCEEDING NOT MORE THAN ABOUT 18 INCHES, WE HEARD A LOUD EXPLOSIVE SOUND ACCOMPANIED BY A TREMOR AND SHATTERING GLASS AT THE SAME MOMENT. IMMEDIATELY I SHUT OFF THE ENGINE AND BOTH OF US EXITED THE VEHICLE. WE DISCOVERED THAT THE RIGHT REAR GAS PRESSURIZED STRUT HAD EXITED WITH SUCH FORCE THROUGH THE REAR HATCHBACH TRUNK LID WINDOW SHATTERING THE GLASS AND THE IMPACT OF THE STRUT HAD DAMAGED THE METAL RAILING OF THE GARAGE DOOR. HAD ANYONE BEEN IN THE PATH OF THE STRUT THEY COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE WAS AT LEAST TWO FEET INSIDE THE OPEN GARAGE DOOR. THE REAR TRUNK LID DID NOT COLLIDE WITH ANY PART OF THE GARAGE DOOR. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. 3. UPON MY INSISTENCE THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO OUR DEALER FOR INSPECTION. AND EVENTUALLY REPAIRED.

GAS TANK WILL NOT FILL UP FULLY. ANY AUTO SHUTOFF GAS PUMP WILL START SHUTTING OFF WITH ABOUT 1.5 GALLONS TO GO. IF I DRIBBLE GAS IN A LOWEST POSSIBLE DELIVERY, WE CAN FILL IT UP, BUT IT TAKES ABOUT TEN MINUTES, AND THEN IT OFTEN WILL REGURGITATE GAS WHEN IT IS FULL. WE HAVE COMPLAINED TO DEALER SEVERAL TIMES. THEY SAY THIS IS NORMAL DUE TO BLADDER IN GAS TANK. WE THINK THIS IS A DEFECT, THAT IT DOES NOT ALLOW US TO GET FULL RANGE OF TANK ON A TRIP. OUR PREVIOUS PRIUS FROM 2005 DID NOT HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM. DEALER WILL NOT ADDRESS THE PROBLEM FURTHER. *TR.TOYOTA PRIUS 2007 problem was reported in NORTH BEND, WA.

I OWN A 2007 TOYOTA PRIUS WITH HID HEADLIGHTS. THE VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAS 55K+ MILES ON IT. STARTING AT APPROXIMATELY 30K+ MILES THE DRIVER'S SIDE HEADLIGHT STARTED TURNING OFF AT RANDOM TIMES WHILE DRIVING. I FIRST NOTICED THIS WHEN PULLING INTO MY GARAGE AND SEEING THAT ONLY ONE HEADLIGHT WAS SHINING ON THE GARAGE WALL. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THE BULB REPLACED, BUT THE NEXT TIME I OPERATED THE VEHICLE THE HEADLIGHT WORKED NORMALLY. I CANCELED MY SERVICE APPOINTMENT ACCORDINGLY. OVER THE FOLLOWING 12 MONTHS, THROUGH TO NOW, THE DRIVER'S SIDE HEADLIGHT WILL OCCASIONALLY TURN OFF WHILE DRIVING. IF I TURN THE HEADLIGHTS OFF AND THEN BACK ON, THE DRIVER'S SIDE HEADLIGHT WILL START WORKING AGAIN, ALTHOUGH SOMETIMES DIMMER THAN NORMAL. AS THE PROBLEM HAPPENS INCONSISTENTLY AND THERE IS NO PARTICULAR EVENT THAT I CAN DO TO CAUSE THE PROBLEM, I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO RECREATE THE FAILURE FOR TOYOTA SERVICE. *TR.Mileage was 30000 miles.

TOYOTA PRIUS 2007 car safety problem was reported on June 03, 2009.TOYOTA PRIUS 2007, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with EXTERIOR LIGHTING . BOUGHT 2007 TOYOTA PRIUS NEW IN 2007 AND HAD APPROXIMATELY 25K MILES ON IT WHEN DRIVERVSIDE HID HEADLIGHT BEGAN HAVING INTERMITTENT FAILURES. THE HEADLIGHT ALWAYS TURNS ON INITIALLY BUT WILL TURN OFF SOMETIME LATER WITH NO WARNING. IF I FLICK MY LIGHTS ALL THE WAY OFF AND THEN IMMEDIATELY BACK ON, ALL HEADLIGHTS TURN BACK ON, BUT MAY NOT STAY ON. BECAUSE THERE ARE 4 TOTAL LIGHTS (2 HEADLIGHTS AND 2 LOWER ROAD LIGHTS) HAVING JUST ONE THAT OCCASIONALLY TURNED OFF WAS NOT ENOUGH OF AN INCONVENIENCE TO GET IT FIXED. THE OTHER DAY I WAS DRIVING AND BOTH HEADLIGHTS TURNED OFF LEAVING ME WITH JUST THE 2 LOWER ROAD LIGHTS. I QUICKLY FLIPPED THE LIGHTS COMPLETELY OFF AND BACK ON AND BOTH TURNED BACK ON, BUT IT SEEMS THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I AM TAKING IT TO DEALERSHIP FOR FIXING TOMORROW. CAR NOW HAS 40K+ MILES. PROBLEM HAS BEEN AN ISSUE FOR SEVERAL MONTHS SEEMING TO INDICATE THE BULB IS NOT THE PROBLEM (OTHERWISE IT SHOULD HAVE DIED COMPLETELY BY NOW...). *TR.Mileage was 25000 miles.

TOYOTA PRIUS 2007 car safety problem was reported on Feb 14, 2009.TOYOTA PRIUS 2007, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC . I WAS DRIVING AT LOW SPEED IN COLD WEATHER, UNDER 20 MPH. I LIGHTLY ACCELERATED TO GET THROUGH AN INTERSECTION, THEN APPLIED THE BRAKES TO STOP BECAUSE OF A CAR STOPPED IN THE LANE AHEAD. THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO RESPONSE FROM THE BRAKES SO I RAN INTO CAR IN FRONT. THERE WAS HEAVY DAMAGE TO MY CAR (ESTIMATED AT $4,000 TO $5,000), VERY LITTLE TO CAR IN FRONT (LESS THAN $500). THIS IS THE ONLY TIME THIS HAPPENED. THE BRAKES WORKED FINE FOR 2 YEARS, AND HAVE WORKED FINE SINCE ALTHOUGH I HAVE ONLY DRIVEN THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR CHECKING THE BRAKES AND TO GET THE BODYWORK REPAIRED. THE DEALERSHIP CHECKED BRAKES, STATED THAT THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WRONG (MECHANICALLY) WITH THE BRAKES. TOYOTA HAD A REGIONAL REPRESENTATIVE INVESTIGATE, AND TOYOTA LEGAL OFFICIALLY BLAMES IT ON ME NOT APPLYING BRAKES IN TIME. I HAVE BEEN TRAINED TO DRIVE ON THE TEST TRACKS AT GM'S MILFORD PROVING GROUNDS, AND HAVE WORKED ON ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION SOFTWARE FOR 14 YEARS, AND HAVE DONE A LOT OF TESTING ON THE TRACK AND ROAD. I KNOW HOW TO APPLY BRAKES, AND I KNOW THEY DID NOT WORK. SINCE THE BRAKES ARE NOT JUST THE MECHANICAL APPARATUS, I SUSPECT A COMPUTER PROBLEM. *TR.Vehicle was involved in a crash. Mileage was 37020 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):JTDKB20U377. TOYOTA PRIUS 2007 problem was reported in WEST BLOOMFIELD, MI. Accident was reported to Police.

I PURCHASED TWO NEW BULBS, THINKING THE PROBLEM WAS IN THE BULBS; SAME PROBLEM CONSISTENTLY HAPPENS. THE DRIVER HEADLIGHT NOW DOES NOT FUNCTION ANY LONGER, EVEN WITH A NEW BULB.

TOYOTA PRIUS 2007 car safety problem was reported on June 27, 2009.TOYOTA PRIUS 2007, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with ELECTRICAL SYSTEM . I WAS DRIVING DOWN A FAMILIAR ROAD WHEN MY HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT. MY CAR IS A 2007 PRIUS. IN TALKING TO A REPAIRMAN AT THE SHOP I DISCOVERED THAT HIGH INTENSITY (AND HIGH HEAT) BULBS WOULD STOP WORKING WITHOUT ANY WARNING IF THE BULBS BECAME TOO HOT. IF THEY WERE TURNED OFF FOR A FEW SECONDS THEY WOULD COOL OFF AND WORK AGAIN. AS A RESULT I HAVE NO WAY OF KNOWING WHEN THE BULBS ARE GOING TO GO OFF. I TOOK THE CAR INTO THE TOYOTA DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT ALTHOUGH BOTH BULBS APPEARED TO BE WORKING, THE FACT THAT THEY HAD BOTH STOPPED WORKING INDICATED THAT THEY MUST HAVE AN INTERNAL SHORT AND SHOULD BE REPLACED BY THE SAME TYPE OF BULB, WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AT A COST OF $807.00. THE ONLY REASON I AM ALIVE TO REPORT THIS INCIDENT IS BECAUSE I WAS ON A STRAIGHT STRETCH OF A FAMILIAR ROAD, AND THERE WERE OTHER CARS AROUND. I TURNED MY LIGHTS FOR 30 SECONDS AND THEN TURNED THEM BACK ON. AT LEAST ONE OF THE HEADLIGHTS CAME BACK ON SO I COULD CONTINUE HOME. I REQUESTED HEADLIGHTS THAT WOULD NOT GO OFF AND ON WITHOUT WARNING HOWEVER SO FAR TOYOTA HAS ONLY OFFERED TO REPLACE THE HEADLIGHTS WITH THE SAME UNRELIABLE HEADLIGHTS. *TR.Mileage was 55000 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):JTDKB20U873. TOYOTA PRIUS 2007 problem was reported in FOLSOM, CA. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control.

I OWN A 2007 TOYOTA PRIUS WITH 62,000 MILES. AT 45,000 MILES I NOTICED THE HID HEADLIGHT WOULD GO OUT A SHORT TIME AFTER THEY WERE TURNED ON. IF THE LIGHT WERE TURNED OFF AND BACK ON THE HEADLIGHT WOULD STAY ON FOR A SHORT TIME AND THEN GO OUT AGAIN. TOYOTA SAID I COULD TRY CHANGING THE BULBS. I HAD BULBS REPLACED AT 60,000 MILES WITH THE APPROPRIATE HID BULBS. THE HEADLIGHT ON THE DRIVER SIDE STILL GOES OUT A MINUTE OR TWO AFTER TUNING THE LIGHTS ON AND WILL LIGHT UP AGAIN IF THE LIGHTS ARE TURNED ON AND OFF; HOWEVER, THE HEADLIGHT GOES OUT AFTER A MINUTE OR TWO.

I HAVE A 2007 PACKAGE 5 TOYOTA PRIUS AND THE HEADLIGHTS KEEP GOING IN AND OUT. THIS HAPPENS RANDOMLY WHILE I'M DRIVING AND ALTERNATES HEADLIGHTS. USUALLY IF I SWITCH THE LIGHTS OFF AND TURN IT BACK THEY BOTH COME ON. THIS WAS BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION BY A FRIEND WHO NOTICED I HAD ONE HEADLIGHT OUT. OTHERWISE I'LL RANDOMLY NOTICE IT IN THE REFLECTION OF THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. LAST NIGHT BOTH HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND WE AS DRIVERS MAY NOT EVEN NOTICE. IT PUTS ME AS WELL AS OTHER DRIVERS AT RISK. I LOOKED ONLINE AT FORUMS AND IT LOOKS LIKE THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE FOR THE PRIUS' AND IT COSTS $2000+ TO REPAIR. I THINK THAT TOYOTA SHOULD HAVE TO ISSUE A RECALL FOR THIS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY INJURED.

SUBJ: 2007 TOYOTA PRIUS HEADLIGHTS. BODY: AFTER SPEAKING WITH TOYOTA CORP. THEY HAVE INFORMED ME THAT I WILL HAVE TO TAKE MY CAR TO A TOYOTA DEALER AND HAVE THE HEADLIGHTS REPLACED. THESE LIGHTS ARE DEFECTIVE AND TOYOTA IS CHARGING BETWEEN 750.00 TO 1000.00 DOLLARS TO REPLACE LIGHT BULBS. THIS IS A WIDESPREAD SAFETY CONCERN FROM THE FORUMS I'VE BEEN TO. MY FIRST EXPERIENCE WAS DRIVING DOWN A DARK ROAD AND THE LIGHTS SUDDENLY WENT OUT. I WAS SCARED BUT WAS ABLE TO MAKE THEM COME BACK ON BY TURNING THEM OFF AND ON AGAIN. THIS MUST BE THE SCAM OF THE CENTURY BECAUSE THEY ARE ONLY GUARANTEED FOR 36,000 MILES. I'LL END UP SPENDING ALMOST 1000.00 DOLLARS ANNUALLY FOR LIGHT BULBS? THESE BULBS AREN'T DO IT YOURSELF EITHER. YOU HAVE TO TAKE THE BUMPER OFF TO GET TO THEM AND THE BULBS CAN COST 700.00 DOLLARS A PAIR BEFORE LABOR. I ALSO PAID EXTRA TO HAVE THIS CAR CERTIFIED FOR THE 10YR BUMPER TO BUMPER BUT DOESN'T COVER BULBS THEY CLAIM. I DON'T EVEN KNOW FOR SURE IF IT'S BULBS SO THIS COULD BE EVEN MORE COSTLY. IF SO MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THEIR LIGHTS GO OUT WHILE THEY ARE DRIVING WHY IS THIS NOT A RECALL YET? VERY SCARY. JUST GO TO SOME ONLINE FORUMS AND YOU WILL SEE THERE IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH TOYOTA'S HID'S FOR PRIUS AND THEY WILL NOT ADMIT TO IT.

TOYOTA PRIUS 2007 car safety problem was reported on July 01, 2009.TOYOTA PRIUS 2007, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with EXTERIOR LIGHTING . I OWN A 2007 TOYOTA PRIUS. AT SOME TIME IN JULY OF 2009, AFTER ABOUT 34,00 MILES, THE DRIVER SIDE HID HEADLAMP BEGAN TO INTERMITTENTLY DIM OR FAIL, BUT WHEN THE HEADLAMP SWITCH WAS TURNED OFF AND THEN ON AGAIN IT WOULD TEMPORARILY RESOLVE. THIS TYPE OF FAILURE - EITHER DIMMING OR GOING DARK - WOULD THEN HAPPEN AGAIN SOMETIME IN THE NEXT 30 MINUTES TO 24 HOURS. I FIND THIS DANGEROUS SINCE ONE NEVER KNOWS WHEN ONE IS DRIVING WITH ONE HEADLAMP OUT UNLESS ONE KEEPS CHECKING. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TODAY BUT DO NOT YET KNOW WHETHER IT IS UNDER WARRANTY OR NOT. IN ANY EVENT, BASED ON OTHER COMPLAINTS I HAVE SEEN IN THE NHTSA DATABASE, I BELIEVE THIS MAY BE A GENERIC PROBLEM WITH THE HID HEADLAMPS OR OTHER ELECTRICAL PARTS IN PRIUS OF THE 2006 AND 2007 YEARS, SO I THOUGHT I SHOULD REPORT MY EXPERIENCE. IF THIS PROBLEM PERSISTS OR RE-APPEARS AFTER PUTATIVE REPAIR, I WILL FILE ANOTHER COMPLAINT OR WILL AMEND THIS COMPLAINT (NOT SURE WHETHER I CAN DO THE LATTER). *TR.Mileage was 34000 miles.

TOYOTA PRIUS 2007 car safety problem was reported on July 01, 2009.TOYOTA PRIUS 2007, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with EXTERIOR LIGHTING . I HAD NO WARNING LEADING UP TO THE FAILURE WITH MY HEADLIGHTS. THE FAILURE INVOLVES BOTH HEADLIGHTS GOING OFF WHILE DRIVING. THIS FAILURE STARTED IN JULY 2009 AND CONTINUES WHENEVER THE HEADLIGHTS ARE ON. THE RESULT IS TOTAL DARKNESS AT NIGHT WHILE DRIVING CREATING A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. THE FIRST TIME IT OCCURRED WAS ON AN UNLIT ROAD WITH MANY CURVES NEARLY CAUSING ME TO GO OFF THE ROAD. I WAS ABLE TO STOP WITHOUT CRASHING AND TURNED THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH OFF AND THEN ON AGAIN; THE HEADLIGHTS CAME BACK ON, I CONTINUED DRIVING AND AFTER A FEW SECONDS IT HAPPENED AGAIN. IN HAS NOW BECOME A PROCESS OF TURNING THE HEADLIGHTS OFF AND ON CONSTANTLY WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. WE DRIVE THE CAR AS LITTLE AS POSSIBLE AFTER DARK. I HAVE CONTACTED THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP WHERE THE CAR WAS PURCHASED AND WAS TOLD THE HEADLIGHT BULBS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THE COST PER LIGHT BULB WAS OVER $350 EACH PLUS LABOR WHICH IS ALSO VERY EXPENSIVE DUE TO THE NEED TO REMOVE THE FRONT BUMPER IN ORDER TO CHANGE THE BULBS. I AM LOOKING AT LEAST $1000 JUST TO REPLACE TWO LIGHT BULBS!!!! I WAS GIVEN NO OTHER OPTIONS AND THE TECHNICIAN TOLD ME I WOULD STILL HAVE TO REPLACE THESE EVERY ONE OR TWO YEARS. I SEARCHED ONLINE FOR OTHERS HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM AND FOUND THAT IT IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE AND MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM. I CALLED THE DEALER AGAIN TO ASK ABOUT REPLACING THE HIGH INTENSITY LIGHTS WITH THE CONVENTIONAL HEADLIGHTS USED ON MODELS WITHOUT HIGH INTENSITY HEADLIGHTS. ALTHOUGH THE CONVENTIONAL LIGHTS ARE AVAILABLE FOR THE PRIUS THEY WILL NOT INTERCHANGE WITH THE HIGH INTENSITY BULBS WITHOUT MAJOR WIRING HARNESS CHANGES. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT EVEN THE PRIUS WITH THE CONVENTIONAL BULBS NEEDED FRONT BUMPER REMOVAL TO CHANGE. *TR.Mileage was 62000 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):JTDKB20U073.

THE DEALER REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. AUG.13, 09, DRIVER SIDE HEADLIGHT WENT OUT AGAIN. DEALER SAID IT WAS NO LONGER COVERED UNDER THE 1 YR WARRANTY AND I WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ALMOST $400 COST. NOT BEING HAPPY ABOUT THAT ...... DEALER DID AGREED TO PAY FOR REPLACEMENT. 1 WEEK LATER, AUG. 22, 09, PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT .... OUT AGAIN. AS WELL AS THE MARKER BULB ON SAME SIDE. DEALER HAS AGREED TO REPLACE BULB IF I PAY A $48 CHARGE. WHILE I UNDERSTAND THAT IS A GREAT DISCOUNT AND APPRECIATE THEM WORKING WITH ME, I AM BOGGLED THAT I HAVE HAD 4 HEADLIGHTS REPLACED ON A CAR THAT IS 2 YEARS OLD AND NO ONE SEEMS TO FEEL THIS IS A PROBLEM. I AM TIRED OF BEING TOLD "HEADLIGHTS GO OUT" , I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED. IT ONLY TAKES TYPING IN "PRIUS HEADLIGHT PROBLEMS" ON GOOGLE TO SEE THE SEVERAL HUNDRED IF NOT THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS IN THE FORUMS FOR THIS VERY SAME PROBLEM.

TOYOTA PRIUS 2007 car safety problem was reported on Aug 11, 2009.TOYOTA PRIUS 2007, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with EXTERIOR LIGHTING . WE WERE WRITTEN A WORK ORDER TICKET BY A POLICE OFFICER FOR HAVING ONE HEAD LIGHT NOT WORKING. WE HAD CHECKED OUR HEADLIGHTS WHEN WE STARTED OUT, BECAUSE A MONTH OR SO BACK WE HAD NOTICED THAT THE LIGHT WAS NOT WORKING FOR A WHILE BUT THEN WAS WORKING AGAIN SO WE THOUGHT MAYBE IT WAS JUST SOME WATER IN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. THE LIGHTS WE'RE ALWAYS ON WHEN WE STARTED. WHEN WE STARTED OUT (THE EVENING WE GOT THE WORK ORDER TICKET) THE LIGHTS WERE ON BUT 5 MILES AWAY WE GOT PULLED OVER AND WE WERE SHOCKED BECAUSE WE KNEW THAT WE HAD NOT VIOLATED ANY TRAFFIC LAWS. WHILE THE OFFICER WAS WRITING US A TICKET THE LIGHTS CAME BACK ON BUT WE STILL GOT THE TICKET. IT IS DIFFICULT TO TELL WHEN THE DRIVERS SIDE LIGHT IS ON OR OFF BUT IT IS VERY DANGEROUS AS THE OFFICER EXPLAINED BECAUSE THE DRIVERS SIDE HEAD LIGHT IS THE ONLY ONE THAT PROTECTS YOU FROM ON COMING TRAFFIC. THE BEST WE COULD DO ON OUR RIDE HOME WAS TO RESET OUR LIGHTS ABOUT EVERY 3 MINUTES BY TURNING THEM OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN. THE PROBLEM STARTED GRADUALLY AT 36,000 MILES AND WE HAD DRIVEN FOUR THOUSAND MILES BEFORE WE KNEW FOR SURE THAT WE HAD A HEAD LIGHT PROBLEM AND NOT A SPORADIC ELECTRICAL SYSTEM PROBLEM.

TOYOTA PRIUS 2007 car safety problem was reported on Sept 15, 2009.TOYOTA PRIUS 2007, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with EXTERIOR LIGHTING . HEADLAMPS 2007 PRIUS BEGAN TO "WINK" INTERMITTENTLY. I REPORTED IT TO SERVICE DEPARTMENT NOTHING WAS DONE. (DATE ?? 2008) A POLICEMAN ON MILITARY BASE CAUTIONED ME THAT A HEADLAMP WAS OUT. I REPORTED IT TO SERVICE. THEY SAID THEY SAW NOTHING WRONG WITH THE LAMPS . THIRD TIME SERVICE (JUNE 2009) I WAS CHARGED FOR REPLACEMENT OF A RUNNING LIGHT BULB. FOLLOWING THAT ENCOUNTER, I EXPERIENCE A TOTAL LOSS OF HEAD LAMP ILLUMINATION IN INTERSTATE 65 TRAFFIC IN THE DARK (JULY 27, 09). I QUICKLY SLOWED AND FLICKED THE LIGHT SWITCH ON AND OFF AND LIGHT WAS RESTORED. THE LIGHTS CONTINUED TO "WINK" AND AGAIN ON 9-14-09 LOST TOTAL HEADLAMP ILLUMINATION IN TRAFFIC ON KY NATCHER PARKWAY, AGAIN FLICKING THE SWITCH RESTORED LIGHTS. TOOK IT TO SERVICE 9-15-09 THEY ASKED FOR $440 TO REPLACE BOTH LAMPS SAYING IT "MIGHT" FIX IT AND IF NOT, I WOULD NEED TO SPEND AN ADDITIONAL $335 FOR A SWITCH BOX OR COMPUTER COMPONENT BUT THEY COULD NOT ASSURE ME THAT THESE EXPENSIVE MEASURES WOULD ACTUALLY CORRECT THE PROBLEM. I DECLINED AND REPORTED THE INCIDENT TO A SERVICE DEPARTMENT ONLINE QUESTIONNAIRE. I WAS CONTACTED VIA E-MAIL BY TOYOTA SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE AND WAS TOLD AND I QUOTE "WE HAVE REPLACED A FEW OF THESE BULBS WITH SUCCESS 85-90% OF THE TIME. ON OCCASION WE HAVE REPLACED A CONTROL UNIT FOR HEADLIGHTS" . WHEN THE PROBLEM WAS FIRST OBSERVED AND REPORTED THE CAR WAS UNDER WARRANTY. WARRANTY HAS SINCE EXPIRED, MY ASSERTION IS THAT THE CONDITION THEN AND NOW ARE RELATED AND SHOULD BE FIXED AS IF WARRANTY WAS IN FORCE. THAT WAS NOT ACCEPTABLE TO TOYOTA SERVICE AND THE ISSUE LIES UNRESOLVED. *TR.Mileage was 45000 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):JTDKB20U173.

TOYOTA PRIUS 2007 car safety problem was reported on Sept 10, 2009.TOYOTA PRIUS 2007, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with EXTERIOR LIGHTING . WE OWN A 2007 TOYOTA PRIUS. WE STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS AT 30,000 MILES. HEADLIGHT BURN OUT AND AT ABOUT 25-30000 MILE INTERVALS THERE AFTER(WE CURRENTLY HAVE 81,000 MI). THE HEAD LIGHT WOULD GO OUT AND IF YOU TURNED THE CAR OFF AND THEN RESTARTED IT MAY COME BACK ON. SO FAR, WE ARE GETTING OUR 3RD HEAD LIGHT REPLACED. WE WERE TOLD THAT THE LIGHTS MAY LAST LONGER IF WE DIDN'T DRIVE WITH THEM ON DURING THE DAY. I THOUGHT IT WAS RECOMMENDED THAT YOU DRIVE WITH THE LIGHTS ON. WE WOULD LIKE TO DO SO, BUT AT A COST OF OVER $200 PER HEADLIGHT REPLACEMENT WE HAVE TURNED THEM OFF IN THE DAYLIGHT HOURS. OUR DEALER HAS TOLD US THE NEW HID BULBS DON'T LAST AS LONG AS A HALOGEN. *TR.TOYOTA PRIUS 2007 problem was reported in MORA, MN. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES.

TOYOTA PRIUS 2007 car safety problem was reported on Sept 30, 2009.TOYOTA PRIUS 2007, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL . I SUSPECT THE CURRENT TOYOTA RECALL IS MORE THAN A FLOOR MAT MALFUNCTION. I OWN AN '07 PRIUS. NINETY PERCENT OF THE TIME THE CAR SHUTS DOWN IMMEDIATELY UPON "FIRMLY & BRIEFLY" DEPRESSING THE POWER BUTTON, PRECISELY AS DESCRIBED IN THE OWNER'S MANUAL. HOWEVER, ABOUT 10% OF THE TIME IT DOES NOT SHUT DOWN ON THE FIRST PUSH, AND WILL MOVE FORWARD WHEN I TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE. I HAVE TO PUSH THE POWER BUTTON A SECOND TIME TO STOP THE ENGINE. THE DEALER ACTUALLY TOLD ME I SHOULD PUSH THE "PARK" BUTTON BEFORE PUSHING THE POWER BUTTON TO TURN THE CAR OFF. IT SAYS NOTHING ABOUT DOING THAT IN THE MANUAL. NOW THEY'RE SAYING YOU SHOULD HOLD THE POWER BUTTON 3 SECONDS TO TURN OFF THE CAR? THE MANUAL SAYS (P. 141 AND ELSEWHERE) "THE HYBRID SYSTEM WILL START AND STOP BY FIRMLY PRESSING THE "POWER" SWITCH BRIEFLY WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL DEPRESSED." THREE SECONDS IS CERTAINLY MORE THAN "BRIEFLY," AND MORE THAN IT TAKES TO TURN OFF THE ENGINE 90% OF THE TIME. FORTUNATELY, I HAVEN'T HIT ANYONE OR ANYTHING, I'VE GOTTEN USED TO IT, AND I'M CAREFUL TO BE SURE THE ENGINE HAS ACTUALLY STOPPED BEFORE I TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE. ONCE IN A WHILE, I HAVE TO PUSH THE POWER BUTTON A SECOND TIME, AN INCONVENIENCE HARDLY WORTH MENTIONING. HOWEVER, I'M NOW CONCERNED THAT THE MINOR PROBLEM I'M EXPERIENCING COULD PROGRESS INTO SOMETHING MUCH MORE DANGEROUS. LOOK AT THE MAT: SOMEONE WOULD HAVE TO DELIBERATELY INSTALL IT SO IT WAS OVER (RATHER THAN UNDER) THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL TO CAUSE A PROBLEM. I DON'T THINK IT'S THE MAT. I THINK THERE'S A PROBLEM WITH THE COMPUTER. *TR.Mileage was 20000 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):JTDKB20U177. TOYOTA PRIUS 2007 problem was reported in MEMPHIS, TN.

TOYOTA PRIUS 2007 car safety problem was reported on Oct 02, 2009.TOYOTA PRIUS 2007, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with EXTERIOR LIGHTING . I PURCHASED A NEW '07 TOYOTA PRIUS IN MAY, 2007. IN THE LAST TWO MONTHS, WE NOTICED THAT SOMETIMES THE RIGHT HEADLAMP WAS WORKING, SOMETIMES NOT. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FOR AN ESTIMATE ON REPLACING THE BULB. GENERALLY, MY HUSBAND PERFORMS ALL MAINTENANCE, ETC, ON OUR AUTOMOBILES. HE WAS UNABLE TO GET THE HEADLAMP ASSEMBLY DISASSEMBLED, EVEN WHILE USING THE OWNER'S MANUAL AS A GUIDE. INITIALLY, WE THOUGHT IT COULD BE A PROBLEM WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, BECAUSE IF IT WORKS SOMETIMES AND NOT OTHERS, THEN MAYBE IT WAS A SHORT AND SHOULD BE REPAIRED. THE DEALERSHIP LOOKED AT THE HEADLIGHTS AND TOLD ME THAT MY CAR HAD THE HID HEADLAMPS (INTERPRETED, THIS MEANS EXPENSIVE) AND TO REPLACE IT WOULD MEAN REMOVING THE BUMPER, ETC, ETC. THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, HOWEVER, MY CAR'S ODOMETER WAS AT 36,900. THEY TOLD ME I SHOULD MAKE AN APPOINTMENT AND BRING IT IN FOR REPLACEMENT OF THE BULB, AND IT WOULD COST ABOUT $150 FOR THE REPLACEMENT. FOR THE RECORD, I PAID $1,499 FOR THE MOST COMPREHENSIVE EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT THEY OFFERED, AND STILL THIS PROBLEM IS NOT A COVERED REPAIR. WHEN MY HUSBAND CALLED FOR THE APPOINTMENT, THEY QUOTED HIM IN EXCESS OF $300 TO REPLACE THE BULB. IN MY RESEARCH, I HAVE FOUND THAT THIS TYPE OF BULB SHOULD LAST THE LIFE TIME OF THE VEHICLE, HENCE THE REASON THAT IT IS SO HARD TO GET TO THAT A REGULAR PERSON CANNOT REPLACE THE BULB. I FEEL VERY STRONGLY THAT TOYOTA HAS AN OBLIGATION TO REPLACE THE HEADLAMP OR REPAIR THE "SHORT" IN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EVEN THOUGHT IT IS SLIGHTLY PAST THE WARRANTY MILES, AND SEVEN MONTHS UNDER THE 36 MONTH WARRANTY PERIOD. THE PROBLEM BEGAN WELL BEFORE THE ORIGINAL WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED, AND MY ONLY FAULT WAS THAT I DID NOT RECOGNIZE THIS PROBLEM SOON ENOUGH. TOYOTA IS WELL AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND IS CONTENT TO ALLOW THE DEALERS TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF PRIUS OWNERS WITH THIS PROBLEM. *TR.Mileage was 34000 miles.

TOYOTA PRIUS 2007 car safety problem was reported on Mar 01, 2009.TOYOTA PRIUS 2007, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with EXTERIOR LIGHTING . MY 2007 PRIUS WITH 36,655 MILES EXPERIENCED THE INTERMITTENT HEADLAMP FAILURE. DRIVERS HEADLIGHT WOULD RANDOMLY GO OFF, BUT WORK FINE OTHER TIMES. EVENTUALLY, IT FAILED COMPLETELY. I CONTACTED MY LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIPS SERVICE DEPARTMENT. THEIR DIAGNOSIS DETERMINED CIRCUIT CHECK REVEALED AN INTERNAL SHORT IN HEADLAMP ECU (ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT) CAUSED BULB TO SHORT. REPLACED ECU AND BULB. OPERATIONAL TEST VERIFIED REPAIR. REPAIR AND PARTS COVERED UNDER GOODWILL POLICY. THE INSTALLED PARTS NOTE PART #90981-20015 BULB, HID AND 81107-47150 COMPUTER SUB-ASSY. MY REGULAR MECHANIC SAID THAT THE ECU IS EQUIVALENT TO AN IGNITER, WHICH REGULATES VOLTAGE AND CURRENT GOING TO THE HEADLAMP, SIMILAR TO A FLUORESCENT BALLAST. MY MECHANIC SAID THE ECU IS COVERED UNDER THE 3 YEAR / 36K WARRANTY. MY REPLACEMENT WAS COVERED AT NO CHARGE UNDER A ?GOODWILL POLICY? BECAUSE I WAS ONLY 655 MILES OVER 36K. (THE INITIAL HEADLAMP FAILURE OCCURRED WHEN I WAS OUT OF TOWN & MILEAGE LESS THAN 36K.) THE TOYOTA SERVICE MANAGER STATED OFF THE RECORD THAT SERVICE MANAGERS CAN INTERNALLY APPROVE SUCH REPLACEMENTS UP TO 70K MILES. HOWEVER, THOSE IN THE 80-100K MILE RANGE WILL LIKELY NOT BE APPROVED. I ATTEMPTED TO CONVINCE THEM TO ALSO REPLACE THE PASSENGER SIDE HEADLAMP AS A PREVENTIVE MEASURE, BUT THEY REFUSED. I?M SURE IT?S A TICKING TIME BOMB. WITH 42,554 CURRENT MILES, BOTH HEADLAMPS NOW WORK CORRECTLY. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE TOYOTA PRIUS AND SHOULD BE RECALLED! SOMEONE COULD BE KILLED OR SERIOUSLY INJURED WITH RANDOM HEADLAMP FAILURE AT NIGHT OR IN POOR VISIBILITY CONDITIONS. AND EVEN IF IT WEREN'T A DANGEROUS SITUATION, IT IS A KNOWN DEFECT WHICH THEY ARE AWARE OF AND RESPONSIBLE! *TR.Mileage was 35999 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):JTDKB20U473.

I HAVE A 2007 TOYOTA PRIUS, AND THE DRIVER'S SIDE HEADLIGHT HAS BEEN GIVING ME PROBLEMS FOR ABOUT THE LAST 20K MILES(50-70K).

DROVE FROM A WELL LIT AREA WITH MANY STREET LIGHTS INTO AN WITHOUT ANY OVERHEAD LIGHTING. REALIZED THAT THE LIGHTS WERE NOT OPERATING, WHILE I WAS TRYING TO DETERMINE WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS, LOOKING AT THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH, I VEERED INTO AN ADJOINING LANE, LUCKILY THERE WERE NO VEHICLES IN THAT LANE. EVENTUALLY I TURNED THE LIGHTS OFF AND THEN BACK ON AGAIN AND THEY WORKED PROPERLY. NOW THE LIGHTS RANDOMLY TURN OFF, PASSENGER OR DRIVER SIDE, WHILE DRIVING. I CONTINUALLY CHECK THE LIGHTS AND TURN THEM OFF AND ON TO RESTART THE LIGHTS. I HAVE NOT HAD THE LIGHTS FIXED, I AM WAITING FOR TOYOTA TO ISSUE A SAFETY CAMPAIGN AND TO EXTEND THE WARRANTY ON THIS ISSUE. *TR.Mileage was 37000 miles.

AS A FORMER AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY PROFESSIONAL, I SAY THAT THIS SECOND OCCURRENCE INDICATES THAT BOTH BULBS COULD GO OUT SIMULTANEOUSLY AND THAT THIS CASE WITH TOYOTA SHOULD BE REOPENED.

TOYOTA PRIUS 2007 car safety problem was reported on Nov 04, 2009.TOYOTA PRIUS 2007, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with EXTERIOR LIGHTING . I HAVE OWNED A 2007 TOYOTA PRIUS SINCE NEW (3 YEARS). I NOTICED ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO THAT, WHEN I TURNED ON MY HEADLIGHTS, THE RIGHT LAMP WAS STARTING OUT AT FULL BRIGHTNESS BUT GRADUALLY DIMMING UNTIL IT COMPLETELY WENT OUT ALTOGETHER. SWITCHING THE LIGHTS OFF AND ON AGAIN WOULD RESTORE THE LIGHT TO FULL BRIGHTNESS, BUT THEN THE LIGHT WOULD GRADUALLY BEGIN TO DIM AGAIN. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE, AS I DO NOT KNOW THAT THE LIGHT HAS GONE OUT WHILE I AM DRIVING (AS I SAID, IT IS VERY GRADUAL AND OBVIOUSLY CANNOT BE SEEN FROM THE DRIVERS SEAT). THE DEALERSHIP RECOMMENDS CHANGING BOTH HID BULBS, WITH A QUOTED COST OF $553 INCLUDING PARTS AND LABOR. APPARENTLY LIGHTBULBS ARE NOT COVERED, EVEN UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE FURTHER, I HAVE LEARNED THAT THIS IS AN EXTREMELY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 2007 PRIUS. IN LIGHT OF THAT FACT, TOYOTA SHOULD ABSOLUTELY CONDUCT A RECALL OF WHAT IS OBVIOUSLY A SIGNIFICANT DEFECT, AND A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AS WELL. IT IS EXTREMELY UNFAIR TO SELL US A FAULTY PRODUCT AND THEN ASK US TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS, OR ELSE ENDANGER OUR SAFETY BY DRIVING WITH FAULTY HEADLIGHTS. *TR.Mileage was 55260 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):JTDKB20U377. TOYOTA PRIUS 2007 problem was reported in SAN DIEGO, CA. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control.

TOYOTA PRIUS 2007 car safety problem was reported on Dec 10, 2006.TOYOTA PRIUS 2007, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL . I BOUGHT A 2007 PRIUS FROM COPELAND TOYOTA-SCION DEALERSHIP. FROM THE BEGINNING, I NOTICED THAT IT ACCELERATES ON ITS OWN DURING THE DRIVE. FOR EXAMPLE, WHILE GOING AT 55 MPH, SUDDENLY, IT TRAVELS AT A HIGHER SPEED WITHOUT MY INTERVENTION. I FEEL LIKE BEING HYDROPLANING, LEAPING OR SHOOTING BY A FEW YARDS, AND THEN IT WOULD BE BACK TO NORMAL. INITIALLY, I DID NOT PAY ATTENTION TO IT, BUT I BROUGHT IT TO YOUR DEALERSHIP AND SPOKE ONE OF THEIR COUNSELORS NEARLY TWO YEARS AGO. I WAS TOLD THAT ONE OF YOUR TECHNICIANS WILL HAVE TO RIDE AND DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM AND SINCE IT HAPPENS RANDOMLY, THERE IS NO WAY ANYONE ONE CAN DETECT. FIRST, I NOTICED THIS PROBLEM IN DECEMBER 2006. SINCE THEN, IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING ONCE IN A WAY. THE AVERAGE FREQUENCY CAN BE 3-5 TIMES A MONTH, AND IT COULD BE MORE BASED ON THE HIGHWAY USAGE. I WAS UNAWARE OF THE RAMIFICATIONS UNTIL THE RECENT RECALL NOTICE. I WANTED TO SEND THIS INFORMATION IN SEPTEMBER WHEN THE RECALL ON FLOOR MATS WAS ANNOUNCED. I AM MORE AND MORE CONCERNED ABOUT THIS UNPREDICTABLE SPEEDING ON ITS OWN WHICH COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS AS IT HAPPENED WITH SEVERAL CRASHES REPORTED (TODAY, I SAW A NEWS SEGMENT ON THE NBC TV INVOLVING A PRIUS). A CREEPING FLOOR MAT CAN GET THE GAS PEDAL STUCK, BUT WOULD NOT CAUSE SUDDEN ACCELERATION. SUDDEN ACCELERATION MAY BE MORE SEVERE IN THE CASES OF CRASHES, WHILE MINE IS LESS SEVERE, AT LEAST THUS FAR. IF THERE IS A FIX FOR THIS, I RATHER HAVE IT DONE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, BEFORE IT GETS ANY WORSE. THANKS, AND I HOPE TO HEAR FROM YOU SOON. *TR YOURS TRULY, S. CHAVALI.Mileage was 1000 miles.

TOYOTA PRIUS 2007 car safety problem was reported on July 03, 2009.TOYOTA PRIUS 2007, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL . I WAS "T-BONED" ON MY DRIVERS' SIDE ON JULY 3, 2009 IN MY 2007 PRIUS. THE CAR HAD EXTENSIVE DAMAGE AND THE ELECTRIC MOTOR WAS DISMANTLED AND REPLACED (SAME ONE) AS PART OF THE REPAIR. AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT IT WAS FINE AND I AVERAGED ABOUT 48-52 MPG. IT WAS IN THE TOYOTA REPAIR SHOP FROM JULY 7TH THROUGH LATE AUGUST AND WASN'T RETURNED UNTIL MID-SEPTEMBER. I HAVE NOT BEEN DRIVING IT SINCE I LAST PICKED IT UP BECAUSE I DID NOT FEEL SAFE IT . THE PROBLEM WAS NEVER FOUND AND I WAS TOLD "...IF WE CAN'T FIND THE PROBLEM, WE CAN'T FIX IT...IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN, BRING IT BACK, IT'S UNDER WARRANTY." YESTERDAY (NOVEMBER 4, 2009) I HAD TO DRIVE IT TO WORK (DOWNTOWN) BECAUSE MY HUSBAND HAD OUR VAN AND I FOUND THAT IT IS STILL ACCELERATING IN ODD WAYS LIKE IT DID WHEN WE GOT IT BACK IN SEPTEMBER. WHILE IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC AT A LOW SPEED WHEN I WENT TO ACCELERATE TO A HIGHER SPEED (APPX. 50 MPH) IT WASN'T ACCELERATING PROPERLY, THEN SUDDENLY "KICKED INTO" ACCELERATION THEN I HAD TO SLOW IT DOWN WITH THE BRAKES. THE TOYOTA HYBRID ENGINE DISMANTLING MANUAL (I FOUND ONLINE WHEN I WAS TOLD TOYOTA COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM) ON PAGE 1 #1-5 SHOWS HOW THE VEHICLE SHOULD BE OPERATING. AS I'VE DESCRIBED SINCE AUGUST, THE DAY I FIRST PICKED IT UP, THIS IS NOT HOW IT'S FUNCTIONING. IN LIGHT OF THE NEWS YESTERDAY, THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION FOUND NO DEFECT EXISTS IN VEHICLES WITH PROPERLY INSTALLED FLOOR MATS. AND IN FACT, THE NHTSA SAID, TOYOTA VEHICLES HAVE A VERY SERIOUS DEFECT. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT TOYOTA CAN DO NOW TO GET MY PRIUS WORKING PROPERLY (OR CONSIDER IT TOTALED) BEFORE I (OR MY FAMILY) ARE IN A HORRIBLE ACCIDENT LIKE THE 16 PEOPLE WHO HAVE ALREADY DIED OR THE 200+ WHO HAVE HAD SERIOUS ACCIDENTS AS A RESULT OF THIS ISSUE! BY THE WAY, THERE ARE NO CAR MATS IN IT, BUT THERE WERE BEFORE THE ACCIDENT AND THIS ISSUE NEVER OCCURRED BEFORE TOYOTA'S "REPAIRS" TO IT! *TR UPDATED 11/13/09.Vehicle was involved in a crash. 1 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 52000 miles.

MY 2007 TOYOTA PRIUS HAS BEEN EXPERIENCING PREMATURE FAILURE OF THE HID HEADLIGHTS FOR THE PAST MONTH. THEY ALTERNATELY GO ON AND OFF BY THEMSELVES SOMETIMES BOTH TOGETHER. ONE INCIDENT INVOLVED THEM BOTH TURNING OFF ONE NIGHT ON A DARK COUNTRY ROAD WITHOUT ANY ILLUMINATION. THIS THREW ME INTO IMMEDIATE PANIC AS EVERYTHING WENT COMPLETELY BLACK. IT WAS ONLY BY LUCK THAT I WAS ALERT ENOUGH TO HAVE A MENTAL PICTURE OF THE ROAD THAT I WAS ON AND WAS ABLE TO QUICKLY SLOW DOWN WHILE NAVIGATING AWAY FROM KNOWN OBSTACLES. ONCE STOPPED I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND ON AND THE LIGHTS RETURNED AND REMAINED ON FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE TRIP. QUITE A DANGEROUS EVENT. LAST NIGHT I WAS TRAVELING ON AN ILLUMINATED HIGHWAY AND WAS SUBSEQUENTLY STOPPED BY A STATE LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER. WHEN ASKED IF I KNEW WHY I WAS STOPPED AND I REPLIED NO, HE STATED THAT IT WAS DUE TO MY DRIVERS SIDE HEADLIGHT BEING OUT. WHEN I INQUIRED TOYOTA FOR A PRICE TO HAVE THIS SITUATION CORRECTED I WAS TOLD $1000+ FOR THE COST OF MATERIALS AND LABOR AND IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THIS SITUATION TRULY IS A SAFETY HAZARD THAT NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED IMMEDIATELY AT NO COST TO THE CONSUMER UNDER AN OFFICIAL RECALL.

TOYOTA PRIUS 2007 car safety problem was reported on Nov 11, 2009.TOYOTA PRIUS 2007, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with EXTERIOR LIGHTING . STARTING AT APPROXIMATELY ONE YEAR OLD, THE TOYOTA PRIUS HID DRIVERS SIDE HEADLIGHT STARTED TO FLICKER OCCASIONALLY. IT WAS MENTIONED TO THE DEALER HOWEVER IT NEVER SEEMED TO BE FAILING WHEN AT THE DEALER. THEN AT ABOUT TWO YEARS OF AGE, THE HEADLIGHT WOULD BLINK COMPLETELY OUT OCCASIONALLY, AGAIN MENTIONED TO THE DEALER BUT WOULD NOT DUPLICATE AT THE DEALERSHIP. IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT JUST CYCLING THE SWITCH OFF AND BACK ON WOULD RESTORE THE HEADLIGHT. IT IS NOW FAILING ON A MORE REGULAR BASIS BUT NOT WHEN AT THE DEALER. THE PASSENGER SIDE IS NOW DOING THIS AS WELL AND I HAVE A REAL FEAR OF BOTH LIGHTS FAILING AT THE SAME TIME AND CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. AS OF TODAY, NO REPAIR HAS BEEN MADE BUT TOYOTA HAS ISSUED A CASE NUMBER BUT REMAINS FIRM THAT AN EXPENSIVE DIAGNOSIS SHOULD BE MADE WITHOUT ACKNOWLEDGING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS FAILURE. I WILL BE GETTING IT REPAIRED AND THIS HEADLIGHT ISSUE COULD AMOUNT TO $1000 OR MORE. THIS IS A BADLY DESIGNED BULB AND ASSEMBLY. CONSIDERATION SHOULD HAVE BEEN MADE TO REPLACE THIS BULB WITH EASE CONSIDERING THE FAILURE RATE IT IS EXPERIENCING. THE MOST RECENT DATE IS THE ONE LISTED BELOW. *TR.Mileage was 85000 miles.

OUR 2007 TOYOTA PRIUS HAS A DEFECT IN THE HEADLIGHT CIRCUITRY. WHEN DRIVING WITH THE LIGHTS ON THE HEAD LIGHTS WILL SHUT DOWN SOMETIMES ONE AT A TIME AND MORE FRIGHTENED BOTH WILL CUT OFF 2 TO 3 TIMES DURING MY COMMUTE HOME. THIS HAPPENED YESTERDAY 3 TIMES ON THE WAY HOME. TO GET THE LIGHTS TO TURN ON I HAVE TO TURN THE SWITCH OFF AND THEN BACK ON. THE LIGHTS WILL USUALLY STAY ON FOR 20 TO 30 MINUTES BUT WILL THEN SHUT OFF AGAIN AT SOME POINT . WE DRIVE A VERY DANGEROUS FREEWAY ( CALIFORNIA 60 BETWEEN MORENO VALLEY, CA AND THE JUNCTION OF INTERSTATE 10) AND ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS THE LIGHTS HAVE CUT OUT TOTALLY CAUSING AN UNSAFE CONDITION AS I WAS DRIVING A VERY WINDY ROAD, IN THE DARK AND SEARCHING FOR THE LIGHT SWITCH TO FLICK IT OFF AND ON. I NOW DRIVE WITH MY HAND ON THE LIGHT SWITCH THROUGH THE BADLANDS SECTION OF CALIFORNIA 60 WHEN MY HAND SHOULD BE ON THE STEERING WHEEL. WE WERE PULLED OVER BY A RIVERSIDE COUNTY SHERIFFS OFFICER AFTER SHE NOTICED THE LIGHTS ERRATICALLY BLINKING ON AND OFF. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY STATED THAT THEY COULD NOT CREATE THE PROBLEM BUT THAT THERE IS A COMPUTER CIRCUIT THAT CONTROLS THE LIGHTS AND THAT IT WOULD COST APPROXIMATELY $800. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND SHOULD BE REPAIRED AS A SAFETY HAZARD. I HAVE OWNED MANY VEHICLES AND HAVE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE LIGHTS OTHER THAN A BURNED OUT BULB. I HAVE GONE ONLINE AND THERE ARE OTHER DRIVERS COMPLAINING OF THE SAME ISSUE.

TOYOTA PRIUS 2007 car safety problem was reported on Nov 18, 2009.TOYOTA PRIUS 2007, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with EXTERIOR LIGHTING . THE HID HEADLIGHTS ON MY 2007 PRIUS WOULD RANDOMLY GO OUT. BOTH DRIVERS SIDE AND PASSENGERS SIDE MAY STOP OPERATING AT ANY TIME WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE HAD BOTH INOPERABLE AT THE SAME TIME WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. BOTH HEADLIGHT BULBS WERE REPLACED AT MY EXPENSE. TOYOTA WILL NOT REIMBURSE ME FOR THE COST OF REPLACING THE DEFECTIVE BULBS BECAUSE THE VEHICLE MILEAGE EXCEEDS THE FACTORY WARRANTY, THOUGH IT IS STILL WELL WITHIN THE 36 MONTH WARRANTY PERIOD. REPRESENTATIVES FROM BOTH THE SERVICE AND PARTS DEPARTMENT OF MY LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP ASSURED ME THAT THE 'NEW BULBS' DON'T HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM THAT THE ORIGINAL BULBS DID. SO FAR, THAT HAS PROVEN CORRECT. I HAVE READ THE NHTSA INVESTIGATION INTO THIS PROBLEM (PE09019) INTO THIS PROBLEM AND I AM FRANKLY SHOCKED THAT TOYOTA AND PARTICULARLY THE NHTSA DON'T CONSIDER HAVING TO TURN YOUR HEADLIGHTS OFF AND ON AGAIN WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT TO BE A SAFETY DEFECT WORTHY OF RECALL. THE NHTSA SUMMARY STATES THAT TOYOTA HAS ACKNOWLEDGED THE DEFECT:: "TOYOTA CONFIRMED THAT A HEADLAMP COULD EXTINGUISH WHILE DRIVING DUE TO A BULB FAILURE, AND THAT IT COULD BE TEMPORARILY RESTORED BY TURNING THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH ON AND OFF, AND THAT SIMULTANEOUS FAILURE OF BOTH HEADLAMPS WAS RARE AND UNLIKELY." THE NHTSA INVESTIGATION SUMMARY ALSO MENTIONED THE FOLLOWING: "TOYOTA ALSO BRIEFLY DISCUSSED THEIR INTENTION TO CONDUCT A CUSTOMER SERVICE CAMPAIGN TO ADDRESS CONSUMER DISSATISFACTION WITH HID BULB FAILURES. " I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH TOYOTA CORPORATE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY HAVE NO INTENTION OF A RECALL OR ANY OTHER ACTION AT THIS TIME THAT WILL ADDRESS CUSTOMER DISSATISFACTION. IT IS CLEAR TO ME THAT TOYOTA WILL NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS OBVIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND IT WILL REQUIRE OUTSIDE INTERVENTION BY THE NHTSA TO PUSH FOR A RESOLUTION THAT IS IN THE BEST INTEREST OF THE GENERAL PUBLIC OUT ON THE ROADS EVERY NIGHT. *TR .Mileage was 54000 miles.

I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO BE TOLD FIXING EITHER LIGHT WOULD BE $350 A PIECE BECAUSE THEY ARE SPECIAL HID LIGHTS AND I'M 2,000 MILES OVER WARRANTY, SO TOO BAD. I NEVER ASKED FOR THESE LIGHTS, DIDN'T KNOW I HAD THEM AND NOW FEEL UNSAFE DRIVING WITH THEM. AND THEN TO CHARGE A LUDICROUS AMOUNT TO KEEP THEM WORKING IS JUST ROBBERY. IT'S A PRIUS, NOT A PORSCHE. I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED NO ONE TOLD ME THE PRECARIOUS COST AND CARE OF THESE LIGHTS AND THEIR UNRELIABLE NATURE.

ALSO, TOYOTA CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE WOULD NOT COMMIT TO REIMBURSING THE COST OF REPAIR UNTIL THE PROBLEM HAD BEEN DIAGNOSED BY THE DEALER, WHICH IS PROBLEMATIC BECAUSE THE LIGHTS ALWAYS WORK WHEN THEY ARE INITIALLY TURNED ON AND WHEN THEY ARE RE-STARTED.

TOYOTA PRIUS 2007 car safety problem was reported on Dec 18, 2009.TOYOTA PRIUS 2007, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC . I WAS DRIVING MY 2007 TOYOTA PRIUS IN HEAVY RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC AND COLD, WET SNOWY CONDITIONS THIS PAST FRIDAY NIGHT. MY BRAKES FAILED TO ENGAGE TWICE. THE FIRST TIME I WAS GOING 5-10 MPH AND STEPPED ON THE BRAKE TO MAINTAIN A SAFE FOLLOWING DISTANCE WITH THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME, WHICH HAD STOPPED. IT WAS AS IF THE CAR WAS IN NEUTRAL AND A YELLOW LIGHT STARTED FLASHING ON THE DASHBOARD (I THINK THIS WAS THE ABS SYSTEM LIGHT, BUT I DON'T KNOW) AND I FORTUNATELY COASTED TO A STOP BEFORE HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. THERE WAS NO SKIDDING OR SLIDING, JUST A NON-RESPONSE FROM THE BRAKES. THE SECOND TIME OCCURRED ABOUT 10 MINUTES LATER AND I WAS AGAIN TRAVELING AT SLOW SPEED AND ATTEMPTED TO BRAKE TO STAY A SAFE DISTANCE FROM THE CAR AHEAD. THIS TIME I REPEATEDLY PRESSED HARD ON THE BRAKE AND INITIALLY THERE WAS NO ENGAGEMENT AND THEN AFTER APPROX 5 SEC THE BRAKES DID ENGAGE AND I AGAIN WAS ABLE TO AVOID A FENDER BENDER. I DROVE THE CAR HOME (WHITE-KNUCKLED) AND IT HAS BEEN PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY OVER THE WEEKEND - WE EXPERIENCED A MAJOR SNOWSTORM AND I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DRIVE ANYWHERE. TOMORROW I AM GOING TO SEE IF I CAN GET THE CAR TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO DRIVE IT. *TR.Mileage was 22833 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):JTDKB20U177.

TOYOTA PRIUS 2007 car safety problem was reported on Sept 15, 2009.TOYOTA PRIUS 2007, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with EXTERIOR LIGHTING . HID HEADLIGHT FAILURE. THIS PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT, WITH BOTH LIGHTS, TOYOTA HAS FAILED TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR FAULTY EQUIPMENT AND THE NHTSA HAS FAILED TO RECOGNIZE THIS AS AN ISSUE. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL PROBLEM. I INTEND TO USE YOUR FINDING THAT SAYS THIS IS "NOT A SAFETY ISSUE" BECAUSE BOTH LIGHTS DO NOT GO OUT AT THE SAME TIME, WHEN I AM PULLED OVER BY A POLICE MAN. I INTEND TO TAKE YOUR FINDINGS TO COURT WHEN THAT HAPPENS, TO INSIST THAT ANY CHARGES BE DROPPED BECAUSE YOU HAVE DEEMED THIS TO NOT BE A PROBLEM. I HAVE A 2007 PRIUS AND A 2000 TUNDRA PICK-UP. MY TUNDRA HAS OVER 200,000 MILES ON IT AND HAS NEVER HAS A PROBLEM WITH ITS LIGHTS. MY PRIUS IS ANOTHER STORY 60K MILES AND LIGHT ISSUES. TOYOTA KNOWS THIS IS A PROBLEM AND WITH THE ASSISTANCE TO THE NHTSA THEY ARE NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR A DEFECT. I DID JUST RECEIVE A LETTER FROM TOYOTA STATING THEY HAVE REDUCED THE COST OF THE LIGHT BULB FROM $300.00 PER BULB TO $150.00 PER BULB. LABOR IS NOT INCLUDED. THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT IN THE PRIUS FROM 2006 TO 2009 ACCORDING TO THERE LETTER. I'D ASK THAT YOU LOOK INTO THIS SITUATION. *TR.Mileage was 60000 miles.

TOYOTA PRIUS 2007 car safety problem was reported on Nov 04, 2009.TOYOTA PRIUS 2007, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with EXTERIOR LIGHTING . NO EVENT LEADING TO THE FAILURE ON 2007 TOYOTA PRIUS TOURING MODEL. MY WIFE CAME HOME FROM HOT SPRINGS, AR AROUND 4:00PM AND THE PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT WAS NOT ON. WE DRIVE WITH THE HEADLIGHTS ON AT ALL TIMES, OR AT LEAST WE USED TO. I CHECKED THE LIGHT ASSEMBLY FOR LOOSE WIRES, BUT NONE FOUND. SWITCHED LIGHTS OFF AND BACK ON AND THE LIGHT WAS WORKING. THE SAME EVENING WE WENT TO THE THEATER 2 MILES FROM HOME AND WHILE DRIVING HOME IN THE DARK, THE LIGHT WENT OUT 3 TIMES IN THE 2 MILE RIDE. I SWITCHED THE LIGHT ON AND OFF TO RESTART EACH TIME IT WENT OUT. THERE IS NO PATTERN TO THE LIGHTS-OUT PROBLEM. IT CAN BE ON FOR AN ENTIRE TRIP OR ON AND OFF ANY NUMBER OF TIMES. WE LIVE IN THE QUACITA MTS. OF ARKANSAS AND STREET LIGHTS ARE MINIMAL AT BEST. THE HEADLIGHTS ARE OPTIONAL HID LIGHTS WITH THE TOURING PACKAGE (NO CHOICE). ACCORDING TO OTHERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM, ONE LIGHTS GOES OUT, THEN THE OTHER ONE USUALLY FOLLOWS AFTER SEVERAL MILES. IF THE SITUATION ARRISES WHERE BOTH LIGHT GO OUT, WE COULD BE IN GRAVE DANGER IN THE MOUNTAINS. YOU CANNOT SEE ANYTHING AT NIGHT W/O HEADLIGHTS, UNLESS THE MOON IS BRIGHT. THE REPAIR IS EXORBITANT FOR THE BULB AND EVEN MORE RIDICULOUS FOR THE CONTROL MODULE AND INSTALLATION. THIS IS CAUSED FROM DEFECTIVE PARTS BECAUSE THE HID HEADLIGHTS ARE SUPPOSED TO LAST 3 TIMES LONGER THAN STANDARD HEADLIGHTS. TOYOTA HAS ADMITTED THAT THEY HAD SOME DEFECTIVE BULBS FROM ONE MANUFACTURER. BUT MY VEHICLE IS BEYOND THE WARRANTEE. I STILL FEEL THAT I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR THEIR DEFECTIVE PARTS THAT THEY INSTALLED ON MY VEHICLE. THIS IS THEIR RESPONSIBILITY TO REPLACE AT THEIR EXPENSE. THE LABOR AND PARTS TO REPLACE ONE LIGHT AND/OR MODULE EXCEEDS $1000. THAT IS NOT EVEN REASONABLE. PURCHASING CUSTOMERS WERE NEVER TOLD THAT THOSE LIGHTS WERE THAT NONSENSICALLY EXPENSIVE. THEREFORE, I AM WAITING FOR TOYOTA TO BE FORCED BY CLASS ACTION LAW SUITS OR CUSTOMER INFLUENCE TO TAKE TESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR IDIOTIC MISTAKE. *TR.Mileage was 67000 miles.

TOYOTA PRIUS 2007 car safety problem was reported on Nov 29, 2009.TOYOTA PRIUS 2007, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL . ON 11/29/09 IN THE AFTERNOON AS I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SLOT IN A TRADER JOE'S PARKING LOT, MY 2007 TOYOTA PRIUS SUDDENLY ACCELERATED FORWARD OVER A CURB, ACROSS A CROSSWALK AND CAME TO REST AGAINST A TREE. SPACE COVERED BY THE CAR FROM ACCELERATION TO THE TREE WAS ABOUT 20-25 FEET. WITNESSES ATTEST THAT I WAS USING MY BRAKE AS THEY SAW THE LIGHTS. I DID NOT HAVE TIME TO ATTEMPT TO SHIFT THE CAR TO "NEUTRAL." THE FLOORMATS WERE NOT INTERFERING WITH THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL (I HAVE PICTURES) AND THE FLOOR MATS WERE HOOKED DOWN. FORTUNATELY NO ONE WAS HURT INCLUDING ME. THERE WAS SLIGHT DAMAGE TO THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE BUMPER OF AN EMPTY CAR PARKED FACING ME. THERE WAS SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE TO THE FRONT OF MY PRIUS. AS I STATED, THERE WERE TWO WITNESSES WHO GAVE ME THEIR CONTACT INFORMATION AND SAID THEY WOULD BE WILLING TO TESTIFY FOR ME IF NECESSARY. THERE WAS A TRADER JOE WORKER WHO CALLED A TOW TRUCK. THE DRIVER OF THE OTHER VEHICLE WITH THE MINIMAL DAMAGE WAS QUITE UPSET AND CALLED THE POLICE WHO CAME AND WROTE A REPORT. MY CAR HAS NEVER SUDDENLY ACCELERATED BEFORE - THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO HOOMAN TOYOTA IN LONG BEACH. IN RESPONSE TO MY COMPLAINTS TO TOYOTA, A REGIONAL TEAM WAS SENT TO EVALUATE THE ACCELERATOR MECHANISM. THE CAR IS CURRENTLY BEING REPAIRED HOWEVER TOYOTA HAS NOT BEEN IN TOUCH WITH ME TO TELL ME THEIR FINDINGS. TOYOTA'S BEHAVIOR TO MY COMPLAINTS OF SAFETY ISSUES HAS BEEN TO TELL ME THAT THE ONLY PROBLEM THEY HAVE IS FLOORMATS AND THAT MY PROBLEM HAS NEVER BEEN REPORTED BEFORE. THEIR IMPLICATION IS THAT I WAS AT ERROR. MY INSURANCE COMPANY STATE FARM INITIALLY HELD ME RESPONSIBLE FOR NOT CONTROLLING THE VEHICLE. WHEN I REFUSED THIS DECISION, SF DID MORE RESEARCH AND CHANGED THEIR RULING TO FIND FAULT WITH TOYOTA AND WILL TRY TO GET REIMBURSED FOR REPAIR COSTS AND MY DEDUCTIBLE. I EXPECT MY CAR TO BE READY NEXT WEEK AND AM DEEPLY CONCERNED THAT THE PROBLEM WILL NOT BE FIXED. *TR.Vehicle was involved in a crash. Mileage was 41629 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):JTDKB20U473. TOYOTA PRIUS 2007 problem was reported in LONG BEACH, CA. Accident was reported to Police. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES.

TOYOTA PRIUS 2007 car safety problem was reported on Jan 06, 2010.TOYOTA PRIUS 2007, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with EXTERIOR LIGHTING . I HAVE A 2007 PRIUS WITH HID LIGHTS AND HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH BOTH FRONT HEADLAMPS TURNING OFF INTERMITTENTLY AS WELL AS THE BACK PASSENGER SIDE LIGHT. THE DRIVER SIDE HEADLAMP HAD TO BE REPLACED AT APPROXIMATELY 35000 MILES, AND THE PASSENGER SIDE LIGHT AT 50000 MILES. THANKFULLY, DUBLIN TOYOTA REPLACED THE DRIVER SIDE HEADLAMP AT NO COST, STATING IT WAS UNUSUAL TO ALREADY BE EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS. THE PASSENGER SIDE HOWEVER WAS GOING TO COST $425. THE DEALERSHIP CUT ME A BRAKE AND CHARGED "ONLY" $325. $150 FOR THE LIGHT, THE REST FOR LABOR. THEY SAID IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, BUT REPLACING A HEADLIGHT SHOULD NOT COST MORE THAN REPLACING ALL 4 TIRES! ALSO, THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE PUBLICIZED BY TOYOTA DIRECTLY. I DRIVE AT NIGHT, AND I LIVE NEAR THE COAST WHERE THERE IS PLENTY OF FOG. LIGHTS THAT RANDOMLY CHOOSE TO STOP WORKING ARE NOT SAFE WHATSOEVER. *TR.Mileage was 49248 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):JTDKB20U273. TOYOTA PRIUS 2007 problem was reported in SAN RAMON, CA. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control.

TOYOTA PRIUS 2007 car safety problem was reported on Oct 25, 2009.TOYOTA PRIUS 2007, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with EXTERIOR LIGHTING . BOTH HEADLIGHTS GO OFF AT FREQUENT INTERVALS, BUT PRESENTLY IF I TURN THE SWITCH TOTALLY OFF AND BACK ON THEY COME BACK ON. RIGHT SIDE HAPPENS MORE FREQUENTLY THAN THE LEFT SIDE ALTHOUGH THERE IS NO CONSISTENCY AS FAR AS TIMING. CAN HAPPEN AS SOON AS I START THE CAR AND NOT AGAIN FOR AN HOUR. AT TIMES AFTER TURNING THE SWITCH COMPLETELY OFF (NOT A REAL COMFORTABLE FEELING WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD) AND ON THEY DO COME ON BUT GO BACK OFF WITHIN SECONDS AND IT HAS TO BE REPEATED. I PULL IN TO CHECK AND ALL THE LIGHTS ARE ON, SO THE BULBS ARE GOOD. IT ALSO IS AFFECTING THE HIGH BEAMS. THEY DO NOT WORK IF THE LIGHT HAS BLINKED OFF ONCE AND I HAVE TURNED IT BACK ON AND THEN TRY TO USE THE HIGH BEAMS. THEY WILL NOT WORK AT THAT POINT. IF I TURN THE HIGH BEAMS ON BEFORE THE HEADLIGHT HAS BLINKED OFF THEY WORK AS THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO SO THOSE BULBS ARE ALSO NOT BURNT OUT. THIS BLINKING OF LIGHTS NOW OCCURS DAILY. STARTED OUT HAPPENING EVERY SO MANY DAYS (I DRIVE 50 MILES TO WORK 4 DAYS A WEEK) AND NOW HAPPENS AT LEAST ONCE EACH DAY. I NEVER KNOW HOW LONG IT WILL STAY ON AFTER RETURNING. DANGEROUS. *TR.Mileage was 75000 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):JTDKB20U677. TOYOTA PRIUS 2007 problem was reported in SLIPPERY ROCK, PA. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES.

PROBABLY HAS BEEN GOING ON LONGER THAN THAT. AT FIRST ONE OR THE OTHER HEADLIGHT WOULD GO OFF, USUALLY WITHIN A FEW MINUTES OF STARTING TO DRIVE. NOTICED IN THE REFLECTION ON CARS AHEAD THAT ONE LIGHT WAS OFF. DISCOVERED THAT TURNING THE HEADLIGHTS OFF AND THEN BACK ON USUALLY FIXES THE PROBLEM AT LEAST UNTIL I GET TO WORK. LUCKILY IT'S WELL LIT MOST OF THE WAY. NOW I HAVE HAD BOTH LIGHTS GO OFF AT THE SAME TIME. IF IT WASN'T FOR THE FOG LIGHTS, I WOULD HAVE BEEN IN TROUBLE. GOT THE NOTICE FROM TOYOTA THAT THEY ARE REIMBURSING CUSTOMERS WHO HAVE ALREADY REPLACED THEM FOR ANY COST OVER $150 PER LAMP. THEY WERE CHARGING PEOPLE $300 PER LAMP AND SOME DEALERS WERE REPLACING THE COMPUTER THAT CONTROLS THEM ALSO. THEY WILL REIMBURSE CUSTOMERS FOR THAT UNNECESSARY EXPENSE TOO. I AM TRYING TO CONVINCE TOYOTA THAT SINCE IT WAS THE BULBS THAT WERE THE PROBLEM, THEY SHOULD REIMBURSE CUSTOMERS FOR THE TOTAL COST OF REPLACING THE LAMPS. MY PLATINUM PROTECTION DOES NO GOOD FOR LAMPS. MY TOYOTA DEALER SAYS THE COST TO REPLACE BOTH LAMPS NOW IS ABBOT $450 INCLUDING LABOR. *TR.Mileage was 50000 miles.

TOYOTA PRIUS 2007 car safety problem was reported on May 15, 2008.TOYOTA PRIUS 2007, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL . UNEXPLAINED SPONTANEOUS ACCELERATION IN 2007 TOYOTA PRIUS. IN MID-MAY OF LAST YEAR I WAS DRIVING ALONE ON THE HOLLYWOOD FREEWAY IN APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH TRAFFIC. SUDDENLY THE CAR ACCELERATED DRAMATICALLY, AS IF I HAD PUNCHED THE ACCELERATOR, OR THE CRUISE CONTROL SUDDENLY KICKED IN BUT AT FULL SPEED (THE CRUISE WAS NOT ON). I WAS SHOCKED AND SCARED, AND I HIT THEBRAKES, NOTHING HAPPENED, AND THE CAR KEPT ACCELERATING. I THOUGHT ABOUT THE MAT AND HOOKED MY FOOT AROUND THE PEDAL TO SEE BUT THE PEDAL WAS UP. I KEPT HITTING THE BRAKES AGAIN, AND ALSO PUMPED THE ACCELERATOR TO MAKE SURE IT WASN'T STUCK AND THEN THE CAR STOPPED ACCELERATING. THE WHOLE THING LASTED LESS THAN 10 SECONDS, BUT WAS PRETTY SCARY AS I GOT PRETTY CLOSE TO TRAFFIC IN FRONT OF ME. IT IMMEDIATELY OCCURRED TO ME THAT IT COULD HAVE BEEN THE MAT AS THAT HAD HAPPENED IN ANOTHER CAR, BUT THE MAT WAS CLIPPED TO THE FLOOR, AND WAS NOT IN ANY WAY INTERFERING WITH THE GAS PEDAL. ALSO, BEAR IN MIND, AS I'M WRITING ABOUT THIS IT SOUNDS AS IF I WAS ANALYTICAL AND METHODICAL, BUT ACTUALLY I WAS PRETTY FRANTIC AND MY FEET WERE FLYING ON THE PEDALS.... I TOLD MY PARTNER MARK ABOUT IT, TOLD HIM TO WATCH OUT FOR IT, BUT THEN IN JUNE WE BOUGHT ANOTHER CAR AND MARK PRIMARILY DROVE THE PRIUS AFTER THAT. I THEN I FORGOT ABOUT IT, AS I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST AN ANOMALY AND BASED ON WHAT WE PAID FOR THE CAR AND TOYOTA'S REPUTATION FOR SAFETY. I HAD NOT HEARD OF ANY ACCELERATION ISSUES AT THE TIME, AND IN FACT DIDN'T UNTIL MUCH LATER AFTER THE CHP OFFICER'S CRASH IN THE LEXUS. I'M ACTUALLY NOW PRETTY FREAKED OUT ABOUT IT IN HINDSIGHT, AND WE HAVE GONE OVER THE DRILL REPEATEDLY TO MAKE SURE MARK KNOWS WHAT TO DO IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN. I SINCERELY DOUBT IT HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE PEDAL OR THE MAT, AND IN MY GUT I SUSPECT IT IS ELECTRONIC IN NATURE. I AM PRETTY NERVOUS ABOUT IT. *TR.Mileage was 32000 miles.

THERE IS A LOUD NOISE FROM THE BACK LIKE A RUBBING NOISE WHEN THIS HAPPENS. THE CAR HAS BEEN TO TWO TOYOTA DEALERSHIPS BOTH OF WHICH DENY THAT THIS COULD BE OCCURRING. I INSISTED THAT IT BE LOOKED AT AND TEST DRIVEN AND THE MECHANIC CLAIMS THERE IS NOTHING WRONG. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE I FIRST BOUGHT THE CAR IN MAY, 2008. PASSENGERS HAVE WITNESSED THIS IN THE CAR. IT ONLY HAPPENS WHEN IT IS SERIOUSLY HUMID (IE ON THE VERGE OF RAINING) OR WHEN IT IS RAINING....EVERY TIME I APPROACH A STOP, WITHOUT EXCEPTION. IT'S LIKE THE REAR OF THE CAR IS SUDDENLY SUPERGLUED TO THE ROAD AND THE BODY OF THE CAR/SHELL OF THE CAR CONTINUES WITH THE FORWARD MOMENTUM/MOTION. FOR THE CATEGORY OF PROBLEM I CHECKED SERVICE BRAKE, HYDRAULIC, BECAUSE THAT WAS THE ONLY "BRAKE" OPTION I SAW BESIDES PARKING BRAKE.

TOYOTA PRIUS 2007 car safety problem was reported on Jan 24, 2010.TOYOTA PRIUS 2007, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC . THE INCIDENT I'M REPORTING TOOK PLACE WHILE DRIVING MY PRIUS HOME DURING A FREEZING RAIN AND HAD TWO OTHER PASSENGERS IN THE CAR. WE WERE GOING ABOUT 15MPH ON SUBURBAN ROADS DUE TO THE TREACHEROUS CONDITIONS. SINCE A T INTERSECTION LAY AHEAD (MAYBE 100 FT) I VERY SLOWLY AND CAUTIOUSLY STARTED TO TRY TO ENGAGE THE BRAKES WELL IN ADVANCE IN ORDER TO AVOID ANY SKIDDING. HOWEVER, *MY BRAKES DID NOT RESPOND AT ALL* AND NEITHER THE ABS SYSTEM OR THE SKID-WARNING LIGHT WENT ON AS THE CAR REFUSED TO STOP. RATHER, THE CAR SIMPLY KEPT DRIVING. SINCE I HAD GIVEN MYSELF AMPLE TIME PRIOR TO THE STOP I WAS ABLE TO ASSESS THE SITUATION AND AM VERY SURE THAT THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED AND TOLD MY HUSBAND, WHO WAS A PASSENGER, THAT MY BRAKES WERE NOT RESPONDING AT ALL. WHEN WE REACHED THE INTERSECTION I WAS ABLE TO TURN THE CAR TO THE RIGHT ON TOP OF GRAVEL AND DIRT, WHEN THE BRAKES ENGAGED AND WE CAME TO A HALT. THE CONDITIONS REMAINED ICY AND WE TESTED THE BRAKES A NUMBER OF TIMES ON OUR DRIVE HOME TO SEE IF WE COULD REPLICATE WHAT HAD HAPPENED BUT WERE UNABLE TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM. ALTHOUGH ICY, THE BRAKES WORKED AS WELL AS ONE MIGHT EXPECT UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES. ALSO, ABS AND THE SKID-WARNING LIGHT WENT ON NORMALLY THEREAFTER. I CALLED OUT DEALERSHIP WHO URGED US TO BRING IN THE VEHICLE FOR INSPECTION AND I PLAN TO DO SO THIS WEEK. I HAVE ALSO REPORTED THE PROBLEM TO TOYOTA. *TR.Mileage was 35000 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):JTDKB20U277. TOYOTA PRIUS 2007 problem was reported in BOSTON, MA. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control.

THE PROBLEM ALWAYS HAPPENS ON ICE FOR ME AND HAS ALWAYS OCCURRED AT SLOW SPEEDS. I PRESS THE BRAKE AND NOTHING HAPPENS, MY STABILITY CONTROL DOESN'T KICK IN, AND MY ABS DOESN'T ENGAGE AND MY SPEED DIDN'T CHANGE. AT THE TIME I ATTRIBUTED THE PROBLEM TO ICE. I HAD TO TAP MY BRAKES SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE THE SYSTEM REENGAGED AND THE CAR SLOWED DOWN. I'VE READ THAT SOME CAR OWNERS EXPERIENCE A FEELING LIKE THE CAR ISN'T SLOWING DOWN BECAUSE OF A SWITCH FROM HYDRAULIC TO ELECTRICAL BRAKING BUT MY BRAKING DISTANCE WAS GREATLY INCREASED AND I ENDED UP PAST MY INTERSECTION. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS AROUND ME AT THE TIME AND I'VE BEEN VERY CAUTIOUS ABOUT BRAKE DISTANCES ON ICE. I LIVE IN MINNESOTA AND WE'VE HAD A VERY ICY WINTER. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED WAS JUST A FEW DAYS BEFORE CHRISTMAS AND IT HAPPENED TWICE SINCE, ALWAYS ON ICE.

I OWN A 2007 TOYOTA PRIUS, AND SINCE I HAVE HAD THE CAR I HAVE CONTINUOUS ISSUES WITH MOMENTARY LOSS OF BRAKING CAPABILITY WHILE TRAVELING OVER UNEVEN ROAD SURFACES, POTHOLES AND BUMPS, SO I DON'T THINK IT'S JUST AN ISSUE WITH THE 2010 MODELS. I ASKED MY DEALER, OLATHE TOYOTA IN OLATHE, KS, ABOUT IT LAST YEAR AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS JUST PART OF THE AUTO-CORRECT SYSTEM THAT'S AN ADVANCE FEATURE INSTALLED IN THE CAR AND FOR ME NOT TO WORRY... THAT WAS HOW IT WAS SUPPOSE TO WORK THEY SAID. HOWEVER, YOU MOMENTARILY LOSE CONTROL OF THE BRAKING SYSTEM AND SOMETIMES THE STEERING EVEN AUTO CORRECTS ITSELF BUT NOT ALWAYS IN THE RIGHT WAY...I HAVE HAD SEVERAL INSTANCES OF IT HAPPENING AND CORRECTING IN A WAY WHERE IT ALMOST CAUSED ME TO WRECK. IT'S SO NERVE RACKING THAT I TRY AND AVOID BUMPS OR POTHOLES AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. TO ADD TO MY CONFUSION THOUGH, I RECEIVED A FLOOR-MAT RECALL LETTER FROM TOYOTA BACK IN NOVEMBER 2009 BUT NEVER RECEIVED ONE ABOUT A RECALL ON THE PRIUS GAS-PEDAL. BUT AREN'T THE FLOOR-MATS WHAT TOYOTA ORIGINALLY SAID WAS WRONG WITH THE SYSTEMS BEFORE THEY ADMITTED TO THE GAS PEDAL IN THE OTHER MODELS, SO WHY DIDN'T I RECEIVE A GAS PEDAL RECALL LETTER AS A 2007 PRIUS OWNER, IF IT REALLY WASN'T THE FLOOR-MATS THAT THEY RECALLED? NEEDLESS TO SAY, I'M A CONFUSED 2007 PRIUS OWNER WITH HUGE CONCERNS OVER THE SAFETY OF MY CAR THAT I STILL OWE MONEY ON. SHOULD I TALK TO MY DEALER AGAIN ABOUT THE BRAKING/AUTO-CORRECT SYSTEM/GAS PEDAL ISSUES ? I'M JUST NOT CLEAR ON WHAT MY OPTIONS ARE BUT I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF MY CAR, NOT ONLY FOR ME BUT FOR OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD, ESPECIALLY SINCE I HAVE A 45 MINUTE COMMUTE TO WORK EACH WAY FIVE TIMES A WEEK IN HEAVY HIGHWAY TRAFFIC. *TR.Mileage was 16000 miles.

I FIRST NOTICED THE PROBLEM LAST YEAR AND TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER TO HAVE THEM ADDRESS THE PROBLEM, BUT THE SAID THEY COULD DETECT NO PROBLEM OTHER THAN BALD TIRES. I REPLACED THE TIRES, BUT THE PROBLEM HAS CONTINUED. I HAVE NOT HAD ANY ACCIDENT AS A RESULT OF THE BRAKING PROBLEM, BUT IT IS AN ONGOING CONCERN, ESPECIALLY ON RAINY DAYS. *TR.Mileage was 25000 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):JTDKB20U177.

TOYOTA PRIUS 2007 car safety problem was reported on Jan 04, 2008.TOYOTA PRIUS 2007, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM . I WAS DRIVING MY TOYOTA PRIUS UP MY LONG AND FAIRLY STEEP DRIVEWAY OVER ABOUT AN INCH OF SNOW WHEN THE POWER SUDDENLY KICKED OUT BECAUSE OF "THE TRAC" SYSTEM AND I SLID BACKWARDS INTO A TREE. IT HAPPENED A SECOND TIME WITH JUST A SMALL DUSTING OF SNOW. I GUIDED IT INTO THE MOUNTAIN BUT DAMAGED THE EXHAUST SYSTEM RUNNING OVER A ROCK. I NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH MY PREVIOUS CAR WHICH WAS A SATURN SEDAN. THE TOYOTA DEALER SAID IT WAS A SAFETY FEATURE WHERE THE ENGINE CUTS OUT IF THERE IS ANY WHEEL SPINNING AND TO GET SNOW TIRES WHICH I DID (WITH STUDS). STILL I RARELY GO OUT IN THE SNOW ANYMORE. IT STILL SLIPS ON OCCASION EVEN WITH THE STUDS. IT WOULD BE ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS IF ANOTHER CAR WAS BEHIND ME. LUCKILY THE TREE STOPPED ME OR I WOULD HAVE GONE INTO A RAVINE. OTHER OWNERS HAVE COMPLAINED TO CONSUMER AFFAIRS BUT TOYOTA HAS NOT ACKNOWLEDGED THIS SAFETY PROBLEM. *JB.Vehicle was involved in a crash. Mileage was 8416 miles.

TOYOTA PRIUS 2007 car safety problem was reported on Feb 02, 2010.TOYOTA PRIUS 2007, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC . THE BRAKING ISSUES THAT I HAVE EXPERIENCED FOR THE 2007 PRIUS WITHIN MONTHS OF BUYING THE VEHICLE ARE THE SAME ISSUES THAT ARE CURRENTLY BEING REPORTED FOR THE 2010 PRIUS. I HAVE A PRIUS WITH TRACTION CONTROL. THERE ARE TWO THINGS WITH THE TRACTION CONTROL THAT HAPPEN ON A REGULAR BASIS LIVING IN ST. GEORGE, UTAH. ONE IS WHEN I COME OUT OF A PARKING LOT THAT HAS THE STEEP DIP FOR WATER CONTROL THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM MISFIRES ON DRY, CLEAN SURFACES AND IN MANY CASES LEAVES ME DEAD ON THE ROAD FOR A FEW SECONDS IN WHICH THE CAR WILL NOT MOVE AT ALL. THIS ALSO HAPPENS WHEN I DRIVE ON ROADS WHERE THERE IS A DRAINAGE LID IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD, AND I AM ACTUALLY NOT ATTEMPTING TO BRAKE. THE SECOND IS WHEN I BRAKE. IF THERE IS ANY ROUGH OR UNEVEN SURFACES, BUMPS, OR DIRT ROADS, I HAVE TO ANTICIPATE THAT THE BRAKING SYSTEM WILL FAIL AND/OR I WILL HAVE TO QUICKLY PUMP THE BRAKES AND LEAVE EXTRA BRAKING ROOM. I HAVE NOT TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO TOYOTA BECAUSE HAVING HAD A 1999 TACOMA WHOSE BRAKES WOULD FAIL ON A REGULAR BASIS TO THE POINT, FOR WHICH THEY CONTINUALLY REPLACED SENSORS, I SOLD IT AFTER I HAD IT LESS THEN ONE YEAR, I DON'T EXPECT TOYOTA TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I JUST DRIVE DIFFERENTLY. THE SPEEDING OUT OF CONTROL, FOR ME, ONLY OCCURS WHEN I HAVE CRUISE CONTROL ON. MANY TIMES WHEN I PRESS ON THE BRAKE THE CAR ACTUALLY SPEEDS UP WITH A JERK OR I WILL LOOK DOWN AT MY SPEED AND CRUISE CONTROL WILL HAVE INCREASED IT BY 10 OR 15 MPH. *JB *TR.Mileage was 43000 miles.

TOYOTA PRIUS 2007 car safety problem was reported on Jan 05, 2010.TOYOTA PRIUS 2007, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC . I DRIVE A 2007 MODEL YEAR PRIUS, MANUFACTURED BY TOYOTA. OVER THE NEARLY 3 YEARS OF OWNERSHIP - I HAVE EXPERIENCED, AT LEAST 10 TIMES, A SEEMINGLY SMALL DEFECT DURING LIGHT BRAKING CONDITIONS. WHAT HAPPENS IS WHEN I TAP ON THE BRAKES DURING A SLOWDOWN TO A TRAFFIC LIGHT (WHERE I MAY BE SLOWLY PUMPING THE BREAKS TO SLOW), THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT WILL POP ON - AND THE CAR WILL SEEMINGLY LURCH FORWARD FOR A SECOND OR TWO, AS IF IT WANTS TO ACCELERATE. THE MATTER ALWAYS RESOLVES ITSELF - AND I DON'T FEEL IN DANGER OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. HOWEVER, IT HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES, AND IS ALWAYS ACCOMPANIED BY THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT - AND THE LURCHING FORWARD I TOLD YOU ABOUT. I DO NOT BELIEVE THIS IS THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM WORKING - BECAUSE NONE OF THE SITUATIONS I'M SPEAKING INVOLVED CONDITIONS WHERE I WAS LOSING TRACTION. BEING THAT MOST OF THE PRIUS PROBLEMS SEEM TO BE IN THE 2010 MODEL, I'M NOT SURE IF YOU'VE HAD OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS. I HAD NOT FELT THE NEED TO REPORT THIS UNTIL NOW - BECAUSE I FEEL THAT PERHAPS YOU MIGHT WANT TO EXAMINE THIS, ESPECIALLY IF YOU'RE GETTING FEEDBACK FROM OTHER DRIVERS OF THE SECOND GENERATION PRIUS. *JB.TOYOTA PRIUS 2007 problem was reported in SAN FRANCISCO, CA.

TOYOTA PRIUS 2007 car safety problem was reported on Dec 04, 2009.TOYOTA PRIUS 2007, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC . ON FRIDAY, DECEMBER 4, 2009 AT ABOUT 4:15 PM, I HAD A SUDDEN ACCELERATION INCIDENT WITH MY 2007 TOYOTA PRIUS. I HAD NOT HAD ANY PRIOR DIFFICULTY WITH THIS VEHICLE IN THE APPROXIMATELY 34,000 MILES I HAD DRIVEN SINCE I BOUGHT IT NEW. HOWEVER AT THIS TIME WHEN I TRIED TO BACK THE CAR ABOUT 50 FEET BACKWARDS INTO A MOTEL PARKING SPOT (ACTUALLY THERE WERE 3 OPEN SPOTS IN A ROW), IT RESPONDED VERY ABNORMALLY. I STARTED THE CAR, PUT IT IN REVERSE AND GENTLY APPLIED PRESSURE TO THE GAS PEDAL. INSTEAD OF CREEPING BACKWARDS AT ~5 MPH AS I HAD INTENDED, THE CAR "TOOK OFF" AT ABOUT 30-40 MPH. I STOMPED ON THE BRAKES WITH BOTH FEET AND INITIALLY DIDN'T SLOW DOWN. I FELT AN IMPACT AS MY CAR GRAZED A PARKED VEHICLE. MY CAR JUMPED OVER THE CURB AT THE PARKING LOT EDGE, PASSED OVER SOME SHORT BUSHES AND ENTERED A CULVERT. SOMEHOW I WAS ABLE TO TURN THE CAR AND IT CARVED A 180 DEGREE CURVE AND CAME TO A HALT ABOUT 75 FEET AFTER IT PASSED INTO THE CULVERT.

TOYOTA PRIUS 2007 Safety Review #10306183
TOYOTA PRIUS 2007 car safety problem was reported on Dec 04, 2009.TOYOTA PRIUS 2007, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL . ON FRIDAY, DECEMBER 4, 2009 AT ABOUT 4:15 PM, I HAD A SUDDEN ACCELERATION INCIDENT WITH MY 2007 TOYOTA PRIUS. I HAD NOT HAD ANY PRIOR DIFFICULTY WITH THIS VEHICLE IN THE APPROXIMATELY 34,000 MILES I HAD DRIVEN SINCE I BOUGHT IT NEW. HOWEVER AT THIS TIME WHEN I TRIED TO BACK THE CAR ABOUT 50 FEET BACKWARDS INTO A MOTEL PARKING SPOT (ACTUALLY THERE WERE 3 OPEN SPOTS IN A ROW), IT RESPONDED VERY ABNORMALLY. I STARTED THE CAR, PUT IT IN REVERSE AND GENTLY APPLIED PRESSURE TO THE GAS PEDAL. INSTEAD OF CREEPING BACKWARDS AT ~5 MPH AS I HAD INTENDED, THE CAR "TOOK OFF" AT ABOUT 30-40 MPH. I STOMPED ON THE BRAKES WITH BOTH FEET AND INITIALLY DIDN'T SLOW DOWN. I FELT AN IMPACT AS MY CAR GRAZED A PARKED VEHICLE. MY CAR JUMPED OVER THE CURB AT THE PARKING LOT EDGE, PASSED OVER SOME SHORT BUSHES AND ENTERED A CULVERT. SOMEHOW I WAS ABLE TO TURN THE CAR AND IT CARVED A 180 DEGREE CURVE AND CAME TO A HALT ABOUT 75 FEET AFTER IT PASSED INTO THE CULVERT. FORTUNATELY I DID MAKE THIS SHARP TURN SINCE THERE IS A 4 LANE HIGHWAY ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE CULVERT. THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND ONLY SLIGHT DAMAGE TO THE OTHER CAR, BUT AN ESTIMATED $7000 OF BODY DAMAGE TO MY CAR. THE POLICE WERE CALLED AS WELL MY INSURANCE COMPANY.

I HAVE OWNED MY 2007 PRIUS SINCE JULY, 2007. ON AN ERRATIC BASIS, AS I AM BRAKING (OFTEN AS I AM GOING OVER A BUMPY ROAD), THE CAR SEEMS TO SURGE FORWARD.

I HAVE HAD NO ACCIDENTS BUT IT IS TERRIFYING FOR ME AND I AM FEARFUL WHEN SOMEONE/FAMILY MEMBER DRIVES MY CAR WHO IS NOT AWARE OF
