general problems of the 2012 Toyota Prius

Upon driving out of my school parking lot at approximately 15 to 20 miles per hour I noticed a cushiony filled with a brakes and all of a sudden I heard a shhh all of my lights popped up on my dashboard. When I took my vehicle in to be able to find out what was going on with it I was told that I need a master cylinder and a brake booster. This was after having my vehicle for only 3 years where I purchased it from rice Toyota greensboro north carolina.

Broken bones in face. Nose split in two parts eye socket broken along with cornea messed up. Broken ribs. Bleeding spleen. Broken neck.

The front and driver side air bags did not deploy (although the passenger side air bag did deploy). Initial impact came from behind, toward the passenger side, causing the vehicle to turn fully sideways, where the vehicle was then t-boned on the driver's side. The lack of driver side air bag deployment resulted in a lot of glass making it into the left side of the driver's head.

My horn no longer works. I took it into the dealer and it was diagnosed as having a faulty spiral cable. According to information on the internet, the spiral cable also plays a role in the deployment of the driver airbag. This part was under a recall for vehicles a couple of years prior. I feel that if this is a known issue and an extreme safety issue then it should also be fixed under recall. The dealer price to fix this is over $800. I have opened a case with Toyota #210-128-2281, but they don't see it as a safety concern and will not offer assistance to remedy the faulty cable.

~tl the contact owns a 2012 Toyota Prius. The contact stated that while driving the vehicle she crashed into the driver's side of the tire well. The steering wheel air bag hardly deployed with no cushion for the contact who went into the steering wheel. The driver was injured and taken in ambulance to the hospital. A police report was filed. The vehicle was taken to a towing yard. The contact's insurance company state farm was processing the claim and had custody of the vehicle at this time. The dealer and the manufacturer had not been contacted yet. The failure mileage was 150,000. Tf.

I just want to know where to go to get checked for recalls I received.

Takata recall.

Takata recall. No solution for this yet.

I was involved in a front end collision with a bobcat front end loader. I struck the implement broadside going 35 mph. There was no damage to the implement. My car was totaled and the airbag deployed. After going to the hospital and a chest x-ray, ultrasound, and CT scan, it was diagnosed I had fractured my sternum. I am six feet tall and had my seat all the way back. I am questioning whether there have been any other people sustaining a fractured sternum due to an air bag deployment at 35 mph?.

At approximately 14:35 on Saturday may 24 2014, the car behind me was hit by an SUV that didn't brake when he came to a totally stopped long line of traffic on hwy 101 sb. I estimate that the SUV was traveling at a speed of at least 55 mph when it struck the car behind me. The car behind me then struck the back of my 2012 Prius plug-in vehicle pushing the front of my car into another SUV in front of me. 4 vehicles were involved, others took heavy damage. None of my airbags deployed, and I began feeling lower left side neck pains the day after the accident.

On several occasions it sounds as though something 'metal' is sliding around inside the panel of the front passenger door. I have taken it to the dealer 3 or 4 times and they cannot verify it. When I went out with a tech, once, although it had made the sound as I turned out of my driveway, it wouldn't duplicate with the technician. They wouldn't take off the panel to investigate. Given the problem with airbags this makes me very nervous and I hope that I am never in a crash.

Driver in a 2005 Ford focus 4 door turned left in front of me. My Prius v hit the Ford focus on the front passenger side corner. My Prius was damaged in the center of the front. The speed of my vehicle is less that 40 mph, the speed limit. I believe I was traveling about 30 mph before I hit the brakes had about 25 feet to stop. When we hit the Ford it was like hitting a brick wall, my Prius popped up off the ground about a foot. Neither of the front air bags deployed. My wife, the passenger in my Prius fractured her sternum due to the pressure of the seat belt. Updated 06/06/2014.

My 2012 Prius was hit in back on passenger side at approximately 80-85 miles/hour while my speed was 62 m/h. With impact from hit in the back, my car went flying head on into the median wall (those temporary cement walls used during reconstruction). Two things happened were: 1. After the first impact my Prius had total power loss, not even emergency flasher light would turn on; 2. Non of airbags deployed. I am wondering if all this is normal for this car or there is some sort of malfunction or manufacturing defect?.

Takata recall. Nhsta shows recall but also shows that Toyota doesn't have a remedy. Why not?!? nothing has happened regarding the defect but I'm concerned it may. Bloomberg says takata uses ammonium nitrate (fertilizer) as a propellant which is apparently unstable.

The vehicle was involved in a multi vehicle accident, where the car was hit twice on the drivers side, the 2nd impact hitting the drivers door causing damage to the door and fender along side of the engine compartment. The air bags illuminated due to the crash, but there was no deployment of the airbags. All party's were concerned why the malfunction light came on during the crash, and should the bags have deployed. The body shop said they think it was cause the door was misaligned after the impact. Concerned that the system may deactivate itself during a crash and not deploy the airbags.
