TOYOTA PRIUS V 2012 car safety problem was reported on Apr 15, 2013.TOYOTA PRIUS V 2012, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with ENGINE . my 2012 prius v has several unresolved problems. on those occasions when the gas engine cranks the car, there is a loud engine rattler. the engine sounds as if there isn't any oil. turning off the engine and re-crank does not always fix the problem. the front passenger seat sometimes rattle. two different toyota service departments are unable to determine and fix the problem. one of the shops replaced one of fifty button like leather seat fasteners. this seemed to resolve the problem. two weeks later the problem started again. now, i suspect the front passenger door speaker is the problem. occasionally, the rear driver window squeaks. these problems have been reported to service shops but they want to keep the car over night. i did not buy a new car for over night sleepovers at the dealer. finally, two weeks ago a rock hit my windshield. five days later the windshield crack grew from a tiny ding to 15 inches. i have owned thirteen new cars in this life time. i have suffered windshield cracks but none of them suggested that the glass was too thin. this is my first toyota. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 38000 miles.

TOYOTA PRIUS V 2012 car safety problem was reported on Nov 21, 2012.TOYOTA PRIUS V 2012, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT PANEL . my 2012 prius v had about 3000 miles on the speedometer when i began to notice that from a start, when i would put the lever into drive it would go into reverse. it is very intermittent. i cannot make it deliberately happen. i have taken the car to the dealership over this issue twice. they could not get the car to make the shifting error. because they cannot replicate the error, they will not give credibility to the problem. this problem has occurred probably 20 times since it began happening. i am now keeping a log on each occurrence. it has been insinuated that i do not know how to shift this vehicle. after watching the how to shift video, i don't think the dealership understands the shifting mechanism. however, this did make me more conscious of my actions during shifting. i actually did catch the shifting problem as it occurred. my hand was on the lever in the drive position with the hand pressure being down. the car was in reverse with the beeping and camera on with the lever in full drive position. i am very concerned that the car will go into reverse and i would not be aware of it because i had put it into drive. this is an accident waiting to happen. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 3000 miles.

Toyota Prius V 2012 Structure Review #10510017

TOYOTA PRIUS V 2012 car safety problem was reported on Aug 24, 2012.TOYOTA PRIUS V 2012, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with STRUCTURE . i am filing a claim to notify other consumers about an ongoing issue i've experienced with my 2012 toyota prius v. we purchased the car in january 2012 and since then we've had 3 incidents (that we know of) in which rodents have infested our vehicle. . the first incident occurred (august 2012), we brought it to the dealers attention and were told there was nothing they could do but we could contact toyota headquarters. the dealer determined that the rodent had climbed in to the rear of the vehicle through an air vent, and chewed the wires of the rear harness system (the wiring system that affects the hybrid technology). the estimated repair was $2 - 3k. after contacting toyota headquarters, i was told toyota does not consider this to be a defect in the design of the car or a safety issue. i was told it was an environmental issue and i needed to do something to correct my surroundings. they advised that i open a claim with my insurance provider to cover the costs for the rear harness wiring damage. after researching this, it appears there are 6 openings/gaps within the vehicle that rats can get into to access the interior cabin. neither toyota or the dealership offered to block/cover these vents to prevent any future attempts by a rodent getting in. they didn't offer any suggestions or advice as to what i should do to prevent this. this morning (april 27, 2013) we woke up and realized the rodents had entered the vehicle again, this time chewing up my child's car seat and the leather of the rear seats. there are numerous people that have experienced this issue dating back to 2007 and yet toyota has done nothing to repair this design/safety flaw. following is a link to a prius forum where prius owners complain of this issue: http://priuschat.com/threads/toyota-claims-not-aware-of-mouse-problem.113690/ . *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 12287 miles.

TOYOTA PRIUS V 2012 car safety problem was reported on Feb 01, 2013.TOYOTA PRIUS V 2012, manufactured by Toyota Motor Corporation had a problem with SERVICE BRAKES . i began experiencing what i described to the dealer as a "hiccup" in my brakes. i complained of this problem the two times i took the car in for routine maintenance (first and next six months), and each time they found "no problem" with the brakes. it was not until this snowy rough winter with all the attendant pot holes in the street that i correlated this braking problem with uneven pavement. i know this happens when my right front tire hits a pot hole, and it may happen when any tire does, but if i'm apply the brakes - especially hitting the brakes at the moment one tire dips into the hole -they do not engage and in fact there's a slight lurch forward, almost an acceleration. the car is going to the service department tomorrow with the hopes that the problem can be located. this truly feels dangerous to drive. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 4000 miles.
