Noises During Shifting Problems of Toyota Prius

As I left work my indicator showed a full battery all bars in blue. As I was driving down the coast I noticed the battery started to quickly deplete, in approx 8. 6 miles my indicator showed 1 blue bar. At that time I was making a left onto the canyon road. I thought this was odd. As I turned left noticed a decrease in acceleration power. Didn't think much of it but about until about 2 miles in I noticed the Prius started losing acceleration power the motor was running and the indicator did not show that it was in ev mode even coasting through the canyon and braking. I had to accelerate to come up a slope through a tunnel I had almost no acceleration power. The car felt like it was hesitating I think by the down hill coast and a few spurts of power surges I was able to make it through the tunnel by the 5th mile I had no power to accelerate luckily there was a road where I could make a right. As I coasted to the intersection I turned right then attempted to pull a uturn on a patch of dirt as I was 3/4 of the through the turn there was zero power the vehicle was on but no power engine cut out. No check engine light whatsoever I got suck in the middle of the 2 lane highway blocking both directions! I put on my hazards and attempted to put the car in neutral it indicated it was in neutral, then I shifted to drive but again no power the car was just making a noise and like a very faint grinding noise. At this point cars were on both lanes trying to head each direction I had to get out and push the car backwards to get 1 tire off the side grade then I was still sideways in the middle of the road. I cycle the car 3 times by putting it in park with parking brake with no luck, or power. It wasn't until 4th try it got some power the engine kicked on and I was able to pull back in the right lane and I was stuck at the corner with my hazards on.

This complaint has not been qc¿d. The contact submitted an email and requested that the official ivoq be written verbatim to the email. Kmj I have multiple situations with my Toyota Prius 2006 in the beginning of may 2014 I a loud beeping noise filled the car. The system had multiple lights displaying showing including the emergency brake light ( while I was driving), abs,vsc, a red triangle with an exclamation point in the middle, etc. As, this was happening car immediately started slowing down and I was forced to pull it to the side of the street. This same thing happened to me three other times while I was on the freeway. One time I was driving home from work and my car again started decelerating while I had multiple cars around me on the freeway. All of the lights were displaying, I put my hazards on and was forced to move to the side of the road while I was almost hit by the car behind me because my car was rapidly slowing down. I took the car to the dealership service center and they didn't know what the problem was. They did a diagnostic test, multiple test drives, but at that time they didn't know. So they told me to drive the car home and come back if it happens again. Within the week I was exiting off of the freeway with my children when I start hearing the loud beeping noise, all the lamp lights came on, and as I am waiting in line to exit the freeway onto a busy street the car stops. I panicked, put on the hazards, the car wouldn't allow me to shift it into drive it had moved to neutral on its own. I turned off the car, turned it back on and was slowly able to move the car. This time I took pictures of the lamp display to show the service members as well. My children, myself, and other drivers could have been seriously hurt! the Toyota service center told us we have a bad computer, the problem is with the ecu, and the car went into a fail safe mode.

Gear shift selector sticks in drive or reverse. A few years ago, the only symptom was clicking noise when lever was actuated, but now it does not return to a neutral position when you let go. Happens every time. Consequentially, unless you consciously return the lever to central position, pressing park does not take the car out of gear. If inattentive or a unfamiliar driver operates car, it will continue to move. I have been trying since November 2 to convince Toyota customer experience that this is something they should repair, is not a normal wear item, and began even before my vehicle was out of warranty. No luck. Dealer has offered a 15% discount from a $575 repair and has already charged me $45 to "diagnose".

The contact owns a 2006 Toyota Prius. The contact stated that in extremely cold weather conditions (20 degrees below), the automatic transmission would begin to slip and not shift. It would make a noise and not engage the engine. He noticed the issue everytime the weather was extremely cold. He took the vehicle to the dealership and the vehicle was test driven with the dealer. The problem was duplicated and he was told that he would have to let the vehicle warm for at least 5 minutes before driving. He had not spoken with the manufacturer to-date. The current mileage was approximately 95,000. The failure mileage was approximately 15,000.
