Two problems related to carrier/rack have been reported for the 2013 Toyota Prius. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
From day #1 these issues were present on 2013 Prius five: lka suddenly stops car over minor car movements ahead,major knocking sounds from engine on cold starts, brake pedal hits floor and suddenly locks up! I now have 20k and hardly drive it now trips skid icon?, bluetooth is erratic, cruise control shuts off or won't turn on when its wet out, drizzles or rains! is my Toyota my mother warning me not to drive in bumper to bumper traffic, avoid rain or snow, not to use electronics or listen to music while driving and if I use the tech in this 36k Prius five its causing me to drive like a 90 yr old with bad eyes and even poorer judgement! it's a wonder why some people hate Prius drivers. . ! the 12v battery dies every few days so I must keep it plugged in. I even wrap my fob in foil at home and keep it as far from car as possible to not wake up the car if I walk by a window close to its parked to avoid power drain. Toyota tells dealer everything is okay? . . . . In what world would anyone pay to have a car like this and tell customers its okay?? I have to drive and other people's lives are in danger! my son is now getting ready to drive and I can't imagine him fighting the controls that Toyota built in to keep him safe! I used to manage a Porsche dealership and raced on many tracks and can drive fairly well and don't like to complain but after my recent issue and research found a lot of common problems with others so I chimed in. .
While I was driving straight in the morning on the highway I heard a huge pop thinking maybe my tire blew out when I went to look my sunroof had a huge crack and my tires were all fine. It wasn't a windy day but I drove a little slower to work not knowing what to do. 20 minutes later arriving later the glass shattered leaving a whole in my sunroof. Luckily the inside sliding cap to the sunroof was closed. I brought it to the dealership and they said something must have hit it but when I brought it to get fixed at an auto collision they said it exploded. From the looks of it, it looks like it exploded to me with the glass pointing up.
