general problems of the 2015 Toyota Prius

Clear coat and paint is peeling, especially on the roof. Toyota is not acknowledging that this happening with the 2015 Prius seaglass pearl paint.

The brake booster pump and abs actuator is beginning to fail recently. I took it to the Toyota dealership to use customer support program zjb to replace the parts, but they said my vehicle was not covered. They then quoted me $3000 to fix the issue. The brake booster pump and abs actuator contribute to safety while driving, so why is this not recalled? we need an official recall to happen and not a simple customer support program.

Brakes failing while driving in the rain. I was unable to use my brakes in the rain and headlights turned off while driving too. Took it to the dealer and they won't do anything unless lights are on on dashboard to read the code.

My small battery died and it is located on passenger side, inside, underneath tail light. There us no key entry. One must crawl to back if car and dismantle many pieces to access release. I had heavy 5 gallon jugs of water in back. There is no trunk release and no key entry. The only way to jump car is at fuse box under hood. Car needs a button inside, ideally up front.

The clear coat on the roof of my 2015 Prius began to peel little by little starting around 2021. What started out as small patches has now become large patches on various parts of the roof. The clearcoat is also beginning to peel right below the windows on the passenger side, close to where the door panel and the window meet. It's unsightly and I have not had this happen to any of my other vehicles in the past. I've done nothing different in the handling/washing/parking of the vehicle compared to my previous cars.

I want to sale.

I bought this vehicle on July 3, 2015. When I took it in for an oil change in Dec. 2015, I was informed that there was a mice infestation and that the electrical wires and other systems were damaged, resulting in about $2,800 in repairs due to the mice chewing the wiring. I just took this vehicle back in on 29 Nov. 2021 because some of the systems weren't working properly, and they confirmed that a mouse has again chewed up the electrical system, again costing about $5,000 in repairs. I've just been informed by my exterminator that Toyota uses a wiring harness coated with a soybean based coating which is causing reports of mice damage in a lot of Toyota vehicles. We have 2 other vehicles which are not Toyota vehicles and have never had a single problem with mice chewing the wiring harnesses of those vehicles, although all are parked in the same area. The vehicle is currently pending repairs at fred haas Toyota country in houston, TX and will be there for at least a couple of weeks pending availability of parts. Electrical issues of this type can cause serious failure of safety features. Toyota has never told me that they use soy based elements in their vehicles that would entice rodents to chew the wiring or otherwise entice them into the vehicle. I do not have a report from insurance yet, but I have filed a claim.

On August 10, 2021 my 2015 Prius was parked in a strip mall parking lot. When I turned on the Prius and shifted into reverse, after traveling only a foot or so, the shift selector popped into neutral. When I shifted into drive, it happened again. After several tries with the same results, I called findlay Toyota service. I was advised to have the car towed, at my expense, to findlay Toyota service. Note: the tow truck driver reported to me and the findlay service representative that he could keep the shift selector in gear by holding it in place with his hand while driving it to the tow truck. The Prius was left at findlay Toyota for 2 days. The service rep reported that 3 different mechanics plus himself could not duplicate the problem; the Prius stayed in gear for them. I researched online and found other Prius owners reported this problem ocurring intermittantly. The only solution seems to be replacing the shift selector switch at a cost of $838. 35 + tax. Even though this is clearly a safety hazard, there is no recall.

I received a long technical letter from Toyota with my VIN number warning me of a possible failure of the intelligent power module in my 2015 Prius. It says this is not a recall, but rather an advisement of a voluntary customer program that has been initiated for my vehicle. It says that if I have the included symptoms, to bring it in for evaluation, and a repair will be attempted, but if the problem is not the ipm, I will have to pay for the investigation. This sounds most unfair. I do not have the skills to make the necessary determination. I called my local Toyota dealership and they said they would have someone call me back, but no one has called!.

Very loud , rough, almost pulsating engine noise at low speed (about 20 miles or less), after the car being driven for about 20-30 minutes, the weather was about 35-40 degrees outside in the morning. Rough engine running lasts for about 1 minutes, it happed 4 times in Jan/20 and Feb/20. I brought the car to the local Toyota dealer to let them know about the issue, dealer refused to scan for a diagnostic test, unless I paid $189 fee.

At 41,000 the vehicle per a goodyear dealer advised that my front brakes were metal on metal. The caliber was also frozen and the brake line was leaking. The car was at the dealership on 3/7/19 with no mention of a need for repairs to the front brakes. Is there a general problem with bad brakes on Toyota vehicles?.

Vehicle was stolen, Toyota reported I was the owner, ne never cleared the title. VIN has over 96,000 miles, gieco cancled insurance cuz I cant control its habits anymore. City of omahca city impound sold it ,.

I parked my car at meter 201301. When I came out it was gone, non emergency number wont report cars, I called 911, omaha city police officer came out, investigated at my request, no clue what was so hazardous , 2:09 911 call 9-7-2018.

I left it parked in meter 201301 zone 115, at 2:07 pm reported it stolen to 911, officer police mr. Scott came out,.

Noted recall on the news for electrical system for 2015 to 2018.

I installed husky weatherbeater floor liners, model number 99501. The driver's side interferes with the travel of the accelerator pedal preventing full travel. I believe this is a safety concern preventing full acceleration of the vehicle, especially in an emergency situation.

Issue started after 2 years, when wet and cold as I back up and put my foot on the brake pedal, a very loud noise heard coming from the back? it lasts as long as I put my foot on the pedal. Expressed my concerns at peterson Toyota dealer locally, but the technician stated that "it's normal", could be the brake hydraulic booster system? the issues still continue as of today. I do record the noise when it happens.

While driving in a parking lot, the brakes were pressed to slow down the car to turn into a parking lane. However, instead of braking the car accelerated. The brakes were pressed again, and the car continued to accelerate. The car finally stopped, approximately midway down the parking lane. As a result, my mother and I were involved in a minor car accident.

This has been happening since about a month after I bought the car but the brakes have been making an odd noise. It does not matter how fast or slow I am going but it makes that noise and it makes the brakes slip and not come to a full stop fast enough. I have gone to Toyota 4-5 times just for this reason and all they can say is that everything is fine. It can't be fine if the car is slipping and not stopping when it should! mind you, I live in California and there is almost never rain so it is not due to wet roads.

The loudness of the horn is very unsafe. Toyota ought to be ashamed of installing such a "whippy sounding horn system on its hybrid. When I was cut-off in city traffic, the horn loudness wouldn't attract immediate attention to most other drivers.
