2013 Toyota Prius V

Brake actuator failure requires actuator and master cylinder replacement. All dash lights came on while driving. The vehicle was diagnosed at Brian Easler Toyota in Hendersonville North Carolina. The brakes are still operational temporarily but spongy and expected to fail so the car is not drivable. I expect to have the actuator and master cylinder replaced in then next few weeks at a cost of $5600. I see there were previous recalls on the braking system that have now expired.

2013 toyota prius V. 64,000 miles and ABS Light is on also VSC warning light and brake light. There has been many issues with this type of vehicle as i researched on internet. I didnt know there has been a recall on this vehicle. And i did not make it time. 10 yrs or 150,000 k whichever comes first. many other vehicles this year have this problem its common.. i cannot brake in time because now its using my back brakes. Dealership said brake booster pump and brake master cylinder.

THIS VEHICLE HAS A PUSH START AND KEYLESS REMOTE FOB. THE ENGINE WAS STARTED PROPERLY WITH THE KEYLESS REMOTE INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. I STEPPED OUT OF THE VEHICLE AND THE KEY WAS LEFT OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. I DROVE AWAY AND THE ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING. THERE IS NO SAFETY FEATURE THAT NOTIFIES YOU THAT THE KEY IS OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE OR STOPS THE ENGINE WHEN THE KEY IS OUT OF RANGE. *TR

WE WERE DRIVING IN THE CITY AND AFTER GOING ON A SLIGHT INCLINE ROAD THE CAR STARTED TO LOSE POWER. NOTICED A FEW WARNING INDICATORS CAME ON THE DASH THEN I LOST THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE THE CAR SO I HAD TO PULL OVER WHILE IT WAS SLOWING DOWN. I RESTARTED THE CAR AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE SHORT DISTANCES TILL IT COMPLETELY LOST THE ABILITY TO DRIVE DUE TO LOST OF ACCELERATION. VERY SCARY SITUATION AND IT SEEMS LIKE ITS DUE TO THEIR INVERTER ISSUES THEY WERE TRYING TO FIX WITH A SOFTWARE UPDATE. IF THE SHOP CONFIRMS, ITS DUE TO THE INVERTER ISSUES, NOT SURE IF ID FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE CAR EVEN IF THEY REPLACE THE WHOLE INVERTER ASSEMBLY. IT'S OUR FAMILY CAR FOR ROAD TRIPS AND I WOULDN'T FEEL COMFORTABLE UNTIL THEY FIND A SOLID FIX FOR THIS ISSUE. 3 RECALLS FOR THE SAME ISSUE? THAT'S RIDICULOUS. *TR

MAY 3, 2019, APPROXIMATELY 33 DAYS AFTER SOFTWARE UPDATED DUE TO RECALL (TO PREVENT STALLING) VEHICLE EXPERIENCED UNINTENDED ACCELERATION. DUE TO LOCATION OF EVENT, ALL PROPERTY DAMAGE AND INJURIES WERE MINOR. EVENT HAS BEEN REPORTED TO TOYOTA AND OWNER'S AUTO INSURANCE PROVIDER. VEHICLE WAS IN A COMMERCIAL PARKING LOT, BRAKING IN PROCESS, MOVING AT LESS THAN 5 MPH WHEN ACCELERATION OCCURRED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 TOYOTA PRIUS V. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH AND ATTEMPTING TO BRAKE, THE VEHICLE DID NOT STOP AND THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM, ANTI-LOCK, BRAKE, AND ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO JOHN ELWAY'S CROWN TOYOTA (1201 KETTERING DR, ONTARIO, CA 91761) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE BOOSTER/BRAKE BOOSTER PUMP AND MASTER CYLINDER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DETERMINED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD A SOFTWARE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 106,853. THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE OVER HEATED. THE HYBRID BATTERY PACK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THE WAS ALSO AN ISSUE CONCERNING THE ELECTRIC PUMP ASSEMBLY. A RECALL REPAIR WAS COMPLETED ON THE VEHICLE THAT CAUSED ISSUES WITH THE MASTER CYLINDER AND BRAKE BOOSTER PUMP ASSEMBLY. THE CONSUMER HAS SINCE NOT DRIVEN THE VEHICLE. *JS

I WAS DRIVING AND PULLING OUT INTO THE ROAD AND UPON ACCELERATING THE CAR JUMPED AND THEN SUDDENLY STALLED - LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO MOVE IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. AFTER RESTART THE CAR IS RUNNING SLOWLY AS FAR AS PICKUP AND ALL THE YELLOW LIGHTS ARE ON. IT SEEMS THIS WAS A RECALL IN OCT. 2018 AND I THINK NOW MY INVERTER IS BLOWN OR NOT WORKING. TAKING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO DIAGNOSE.

OFTEN REFERRED CLOCK SPRING AS IT IS REFERRED TO PART NUMBER 84307-47020 IT AFFECTS A MULTITUDE OF THINGS ON MY CAR THAT ARE SAFETY RELATED INCLUDING THE HORN, THE BUTTONS ON THE STEERING WHEEL THAT CONTROL THE RADIO AND TRICKS ODOMETER, THE AIRBAG, MAYBE BE AIRBAGS PLEARLE, BE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL AND MAYBE OTHER THINGS. MY KNOWLEDGE MY CAR HAS NEVER BEEN WRECKED OR HAD AIRBAGS BLOWN AND THIS IS VERY PREMATURE FOR THIS PART TO FAIL. BELIEVE TOYOTA SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR IT. THE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND IT SAYS IN THE MANUAL THAT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. DO NOT HAVE A CLUE WHY IT FAILED. THE TOYOTA DEALER REPAIR IS CLOSE TO $900 WHICH IS RIDICULOUS.

TOYOTA IMP AS I WENT TO ACCELERATE ONTO ONE OF THE MOST DANGEROUS ENTRANCES TO THE 110 PARKWAY IN LOS ANGELES, MY CAR STALLED. THE CAR WORKED VERY SLOWLY FOR A COUPLE OF MINUTES, THEN IT WOULD NOT EVEN GO INTO DRIVE. THERE WAS STILL POWER AND AIR CONDITIONING. AFTER HAVING IT TOWED OFF THE HIGHWAY TO THE DEALERSHIP, IT WAS CONFIRMED TO BE THE POWER INVERTER. I HAD THE SOFTWARE RECALL DONE IN 2015, YET MY CAR'S INVERTER STILL FAILED.
