Toyota Prius Prime

The contact owns a 2023 Toyota Prius equipped with Toyo Tires, Tire Line: Extensa A/S, Tire Size: 195/50R/19, and DOT Number: N/A. The contact stated that upon taking the vehicle to the dealer for routine maintenance, it was discovered that a bubble had developed in the front driver-side tire. The vehicle manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 15,205.

The design and engineering of this vehicle is defective. All of the vehicles on the road need to be recalled. The outside an inside edges of the tire wear at an extreme rate which will result entire failure, collision, and eventually fatalities. I own two 2024 Prius prime XLE premiums, and I have read online and everyone is having this problem. The torque is so extreme that even the new vehicles cannot maintain alignment. The wheel and tire combination from the factory is simply not suitable…

The contact owned a 2024 Toyota Prius Prime. The contact stated that while driving 20 MPH with cruise control engaged, while depressing the brake pedal, the vehicle accelerated. The vehicle crashed into the rear bumper of the vehicle ahead. The air bags deployed and the vehicle was deemed a total loss. The contact was seated in the driver’s seat and sustained injuries to the chest, ankles, knees, neck, shoulders, upper and lower back. Medical attention was provided. The other driver sustained…

The center infotainment/navigation display on my 2019 Toyota Prius Prime repeatedly turns off and back on while driving. The screen goes blank and then restarts, including the map display. The vehicle itself continues to drive normally. The display is still in the vehicle and is available for inspection. This is a safety concern because the navigation screen goes blank while the vehicle is moving, which can distract the driver. Toyota has already documented this condition in Technical Service…

Description of Safety Defect: I am reporting an uncorrected factory design defect in the 5th-generation Toyota Prius (2024 model) that constitutes an immediate and ongoing daytime driving hazard. Under standard operation, whenever the vehicle's headlights are activated during daytime hours—conditions legally mandated by Massachusetts state law, such as during rain, heavy fog, snow, dusk, or dawn—the driver's 7-inch Multi-Information Display (MID) speedometer cluster and the central multimedia…

I was driving the vehicle at less than 15 miles in Wickham Park on Oct. 1, 2026. As I slowly turned right into a parking lot, the vehicle suddenly picked up speed, and crashed into a big tree near the parking lot. The airbag was activated, and the front end of the vehicle was severely damaged. Luckily, no one was injured from the accident, but this could have caused serous risk to myself and others. I am going to request Toyota to perform investigation to identify a cause of unintended…

I am writing to inform you about a very dangerous situation that occurred to me in June 2026 and that could pose a significant safety risk to other drivers who own 2016-17-18-19 Toyota Prius cars.  The risk stems from a defective part (the catalytic converter) that Toyota Corporation knew about in 2019 but failed to notify owners of those models.    Instead of issuing a recall and replacing the defective part, Toyota chose instead to issue a nationwide alert to their mechanics (Technical…

I purchased my 2023 Prius new which comes with a 5 year 60k mile powertrain warranty. My car, at 42.2k miles, has developed a clicking sound when the steering wheel is fully turned to the left and the vehicle is moving slowly. I brought it to the dealer today Oct 2, 2026 and their technician was able to reproduce my concern. However I came across two problems: 1) Their technician claims it is a suspension issue and 2) I was told even if it were CV related it would not be covered under…

12V battery failed when vehicle was only 9 months old, stranding me on a cold day in January. No warning of dying battery prior to failure. Required a tow to dealer, where battery failure was confirmed. Replaced under warranty. This standard Toyota battery is under powered to sustain electronic functions of car.

My safety and the safety of 6,031 passengers/riders were put at risk when Lyft's Flex Drive rented this vehicle to me as a rideshare driver for one year. They admitted yesterday upon confronting them in person that they were aware of the recall and decided to not inform me. The company deflected responsibility onto me in several ways and even laughed in the back of the building. There was nothing funny about putting my life at risk and the lives of other people. It is a breach of agreement for…
