I was dropping my daughter off at school and the car completely shut down on me and turned off in the middle of an intersection. I have just had brakes and oil changed but ever since I got the car codes keep popping up and when checked it’s all good. Front lights keep glitching and even with new brakes there is still a bad sound. My dash computer thing keeps going in and out. It happens a lot more when it rains and makes a sizzling sound I’m afraid to drive it in the rain. I’m besides myself how the car turned off on me and my child we couldn’t move I could accelerate and we almost got hit then another light came on and I couldn’t even turn my wheel. Very dangerous.
The seal of the rear lamp assembly becomes unsealed and lets water in. Burns our bulbs and short out electrical system because of this. Second right rear assembly was replaced today and now front units are also foggy so I know that the seal on the lamp unit is also wearing. I read about this with other Prius and other c models. I had to buy actual Toyota parts as there are no aftermarket units.
While being detailed, puddle light was seen smoking on drivers side door. It melted the body of door and had to be removed. I also have video of it smoking and melting door.
The low light beams on the car burnout every few weeks. It makes it very difficult and unsafe to drive at night. I will buy a new bulb and install it and then it burns out in a few days or a week or two later. I have tried various brands of bulbs but I just do not think it is a bulb issue. I have also brought the car to a mechanic to replace the bulbs but the same issue continues.
