2016 Toyota Prius

THE CAR'S AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM CONTINUALLY SETS ITSELF TO THE AUTO POSITION AND DISABLES ITSELF WHERE NOTHING YOU DO CAN ACTIVATE THE FAN THE AIR CONDITIONING THE HEAT ANYTING, GOING THROUGH ALL THE MENUS RESETTING EVERYTHING TURNING THE CAR OFF AND ON 50 TIMES DOES NO GOOD. THIS BEGAN HAPPENING WHEN THE CAR HAD ABOUT TEN THOUSAND MILES ON IT AND HAS BEEN MORE AND MORE COMMON SINCE.

ON MANY OCCASIONS WHEN I WOULD STEP ON MY BRAKE, MY CAR WOULD JERK AND THRUST FORWARD AGGRESSIVELY. I'D HAVE TO STEP HARD ON MY BRAKE SO THE CAR WOULD NOT CATAPULT PAST A STOP SIGN OR LIGHT. IT FEELS LIKE THE CAR IS STRONGER THAN THE BRAKE AND OUT OF CONTROL. WHICH IS ALARMING BECAUSE I PICK UP MY 2 YEAR OLD GRANDDAUGHTER FROM DAYCARE AND BRING HER HOME. IT'S HAPPENED WHEN I TURN CORNERS OR COME TO A STOP SIGN OR LIGHT AND I NEVER KNOW WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN.

WHEN COMES TO A STOP AND ON ACCELERATION VEHICLE WON'T MOVE ESPECIALLY AFTER RAIN AND CAR WASH. IT HAPPENED 10 TIMES SINCE JUNE 2017 AND ONCE A WEEK LATELY. EVERY TIME IT STARTS WITH LOUD NOISE FROM ENGINE,RIGHT AFTER THAT THE BATTERY BAR DROPPED FROM FULL BAR TO ONE BAR QUICKLY IN ONE SECOND. IF I HAVE TO STOP AT THE TRAFFIC LIGHT WHEN THIS HAPPENS IT WON'T MOVE. EARLY THIS YEAR 01/12/2018,IT 'S BEING TOWED TO PUENTE HILLS TOYOTA DEALER AND SERVICE COULDN'T FIND ANY CLUE AFTER 5HRS. ON 06/01/2018 WE BROUGHT IT IN AGAIN FOR SAME ISSUES TO THE SAME DEALER AND BEING TOLD NO CLUE AFTER 5 HRS AGAIN . ON 06/06/2018 AT 18.38 PM PST, IT HAPPENED AGAIN.. I FEEL SO UNSAFE TO DRIVE, IT MIGHT GET ME KILLED ANYTIME WHEN IT HAPPENS,

I HAVE OWNED 3 TOYOTA PRIUS AND SINCE I PURCHASED THIS 2016 PRIUS IN 09/2016. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE WINDSHIELD TWICE SO FAR, 1 IN 09/2016 AND 06/2017. AND NOW HAVE CRACKED WINDSHIELD ALL CAUSE BY SMALL ROCK CHIP STARTING IN THE CORNERS OF THE WINDSHIELD. THIS IS GETTING RIDICULOUS, I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS ISSUE WITH OTHER 2 MODELS OR OTHER VEHICLE I HAVE OWNED.

UPON START UP THIS TOYOTA PRIUS VEHICLE EMITS FOUL SMELLING CHEMICAL AIR INTO THE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE. IT IS UNKNOWN HOW TOXIC THESE SMELLS ARE BUT AGGRAVATE RESPIRATORY CONDITIONS AND ASTHMATIC CONDITIONS. TOYOTA ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THEY HAVE A SERVICE BULLETIN WITH "THOUSANDS" OF COMPLAINTS FROM CONSUMERS REPORTING NOXIOUS AIR BEING EMITTED INTO THE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE. HOWEVER THEY ARE REQUIRING CONSUMERS TO PAY FOR FIXES, EVEN IF THE CONSUMER HAS A FULL WARRANTY FOR MANUFACTURER DEFECTS. THIS VEHICLE ONLY HAS ABOUT 9.2K MILES ON IT (2016) AND IS GETTING WORSE. THE PROBLEM ALWAYS HAPPENS ON VEHICLE START UP WHEN AT REST, ESPECIALLY IN WARM AMBIENT CONDITIONS. THE AC WILL BE FOUL AND NOXIOUS. IN COLD TEMPERATURES THE FIRST FEW MINUTES OF HEATING WILL ALSO EMIT FOUL AND NOXIOUS ODORS. SERVICE LINE AT DEALERSHIP ACKNOWLEDGE THESE COMPLAINTS ARE HERE BUT WILL NOT EFFECT REPAIRS UNDER DIRECTION OF TOYOTA CORPORATE. ALL REPAIRS FOR MANUFACTURING DEFECT FOR TOXIC AIR HAVE TO BE PAID FOR BY THE CUSTOMER. S

I HAD A VERY SMALL PEBBLE HIT MY WINDSHIELD WHILE DRIVING SLOWLY ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET. THE INITIAL IMPACT CAUSED SEVERAL SIGNIFICANT CRACKS RUNNING LENGTHWISE AND WIDTHWISE ACROSS MY WINDSHIELD INSTEAD OF JUST STARING OR PITTING AS TRADITIONALLY OCCURS. THIS IS MY THIRD PRIUS AND I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED A WINDSHIELD RESPONDING THIS WAY. IT APPEARS ONLINE THAT THIS HAS BECOME A VERY COMMON PROBLEM AND IT IS EXTREMELY COSTLY SINCE THEY CURRENTLY DO NOT HAVE AN AFTERMARKET AVAILABLE. AS WELL AS REQUIRING $600+ RECALIBRATION. I AM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED IN TOYOTA. I AM CONCERNED THAT I AM GOING TO PAY $1500 TO GET THIS FIXED (SINCE MY INSURANCE USES MY DEDUCTABLE) ONLY FOR IT TO BREAK AGAIN DUE TO A MINOR INSTANCE (AS MANY HAVE COMPLAINED ONLINE). MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THE NEW WINDSHIELD IS THINNER/ LIGHTER FOR MPG. IS THIS NOT COVERED ON SOME SORT OF WARRANTY OR RECALL? I'M VERY UPSET THAT THIS HAS OCCURRED AND HAVE ALWAYS BEEN EXTREMELY LOYAL TO TOYOTA, IM AT A POINT WHERE I JUST WANT TO DRIVE WITH IT CRACKED TO AVID HAVING TO FIX FUTURE CRACKED WINDSHIELDS.

THE OEM WINDSHIELDS THAT ARE INSTALLED ON NEW 2016 PRIUS 2 MODELS ARE CLEARLY NOT TO STANDARD. I HAVE A HUGE CRACK ACROSS MY WINDSHIELD FROM A VERY TINY PEBBLE WHILE TRAVELING AT 12 MPH. WHAT THE HECK TOYOTA??? I WAS TRAVELING ON THE 101 SOUTHBOUND IN LA IN A MERGING LANE MOVING AT A PACE THAT JOGGERS COULD KEEP UP WITH WHEN A STRAY PEBBLE CRACKED MY ENTIRE GLASS.

CRACKED WINDSHIELD. NEW MODEL VEHICLE W 10000 MILES WINDSHIELD CRACKED FROM AN IMPACT OF A SMALL ROCK OR OTHER ON THE HIGHWAY. NEVER HAD THIS HAPPEN, 30+ YEARS DRIVING. VERY THIN AND FRAGILE GLASS AND COMPLICATED EXPENSIVE ELECTRONIC SENSORS WILL REQUIRE 2 REPAIR SHOPS, 7 OR MORE COMBINED HOURS, AND MANY DOLLARS FOR THE REPAIR. TOYOTA DOES NOT COVER THE REPAIR, ALTHOUGH MY CAR IS UNDER WARRANTY AND I HAVE PURCHASED A TOYOTACARE PLUS PREPAID PRENIUM MAINENTANCE PLAN. AAARGH!! FRUSTRATED CUSTOMER! IS TOYOTA GOING TO ISSUE A RECALL ON THESE LOUSY WINDSHIELDS?
