Navigational (global Positioning System) Gps Problems of Toyota Prius

The gps system reports inaccurate system location. I live in henderson, nv, but it shows the location as boulder city, nv. This is an 11 mile difference. I have Toyota's sos feature (like onstar), so if emergency assistance is needed, they would not come to the correct location. I do not know if it is only my car or others. The sos rep seemed to be aware, but no notice was sent out to customers for service or recalls.

I loss the ability to see the speedometer and fuel guage on my instrument cluster. This is the same problem the 2005 to 2009 recall for non working speedometer. Spoke with Toyota and explained what are the odds that I am having the same problem they said I we get a recall we will notify you. To have this repaired it will cost around 900 out of my pocket. So I have to rely on my gps as a speedometer.

The radio/navigation/telephone system on the Toyota Prius v 2015 started freezing a few weeks after I purchased the vehicle. The gps, radio, telephone etc. Are all controlled by a central touch screen panel on the dashboard of the vehicle. The gps becomes un-responsive to touch and can suddenly no longer be used! this has happened repeatedly but randomly on my vehicle, and many owners are seeing the same issue on their Prius v 2015 too. After a few miles of driving, the screen becomes unresponsive, and remains un-responsive until the car is turned off and started again, especially on hot days. The only way certain owners have been able to get a permanent fix for the issue is by a replacement of the navigation system. It appears there is a service bulletin from Toyota t-tt-0336-15 that mentions the issue. However, I have already been to my Toyota service center 3 times for this issue, and they keep saying that they cannot "reproduce" the issue, and need to analyze further. I have taken multiple videos of the issue between Mar 25 and Aug 8 and shared with the service center. But they refuse to acknowledge and take action. If it is a known issue, why is Toyota not recalling and replacing the unit, customers like me are wasting time, waiting endlessly and waiting for the "analysis" when Toyota knows the problem, and must fix the issue proactively! please note: I have talked to the service center as well as with Toyota customer care, trying to resolve the issue in good faith, but they asked me to contact NHTSA if I have any complaint, or keep going through their analysis process - they are not ready to own up to the issue and fix it proactively, not just for me, but for all owners of the affected vehicles.

Toyota Priuses, covering multiple model years, have problems with their multifuction displays in the range of 85000-95000 miles. The problem manifests itself with a display that will start to go out and have problems with a fuzzy display or lines through the picture, or will just fail outright. This can cause problems with such as the inability to control the car's climate (including safety-related front and rear window defog), bluetooth hands-free, gps mapping and other important car functions.

Complaint is in regard to the Toyota Prius navigational system. It has a gps system, but entries are blocked unless the car is stationary. I drive our nation's major highways and have to pull over to the shoulder to make an entry (nearest restaurant, hotel, tourist attraction, etc. ). An officer pulled over and said that my constant pulling over is creating a safety hazard. I've seen other cars pulling over and stopped to talk to them and they are also trying to enter something in a Toyota vehicle gps. I agree that blocking the driving from entering into the gps is a prudent safety feature. But in all the cases I described, it was the passenger who was doing the navigation. I've read on the internet that a large number of people are trying to cut into the wiring of the car or change it's program by hacking into the service screens. All of these create potential safety hazards. Toyota is the only auto manufacturer who forces the customer to have a stationary car, leading to all these problems. I suggest that this safety block provides a way for customers to bypass it to avoid these problems I am seeing. This is a growing problem affecting more and more cars. When collisions and deaths occur, it won't be clear to the investigators what caused it. If you can pursue this at the warning stage, perhaps we can avoid deaths and accidents before they occur.

: the contact stated the gps navigational system does not accept addresses rendering it inoperable. The manufacturer was alerted. Although the vehicle was seen by a dealer, no repairs were made because a remedy was not available.
