My car overheated suddenly, showed multiple warning lights, and was diagnosed as having a failure of the electric water pump --symptoms exactly identical to those described in !2v536000. My car did not stall but had the secondary conditions shown when Toyota engineers tested the likely results of failure of the faulty coil wire.

I have 2014 Prius v and the car was working fine with no problem at all. I got a recall from Toyota that my car needs software update as a remedy for manufacturing problem. I took my Prius to Toyota dealer in new york city to perform the recall. The recall was done and the car problems started. The car was overheating now so I took it to a mechanic to find why,the mechanic said it was the water pump and changed it but the overheating was still there but was reduced. Later,the car was shaking badly at 15-20 mph speed. I took it to the mechanic to check what's the problem,the mechanic shocked me with the news that the engine needs to be replaced because it is defective inside because of overheating of the car. Now I do not know what to do because I need a lot of money for the engine replacement. All my car problems have started after the recall done. Thank you.

Afternoon 07/11/17 while driving downhill @ 50 mph my 2006 Toyota Prius turned off- no steering, exterior lights, dash/computer lights, radio- except for front interior dome light. No warning lights prior to or after car turned off. I was able to brake (very stiff brakes) & pull over. Replaced 2015 12v battery hoping for quick fix. Car still would not turn on, could not be towed on flat bad for fear of damaging transmission. Car was towed to closest mechanic. On 07/12/17 independent mechanic said both coolant pumps failed and the leaking shorted a fuse and turned off the car. Every time they attempted to replace fuse it would pop fuse again. Mechanic replaced water pump (including coolant/antifreeze) & inverter electric pump (including inverter cooler water) & changed auto transmission fluid & filter ($1,115). Early morning 07/14/17 dash display would not light up when car was turned on- no speedometer, odometer, gas gauge, reverse camera. (happened couple of times in past but could not duplicate for dealer. ) while driving to Toyota dealer I noticed computer screen stuck @ 48 mpg & 61 miles driven, but never increased miles as I drove 18 miles or updated mpg calculation. Refused to turn off car until someone from Toyota dealer looked @ dash to verify condition. Toyota dealer says combo meter (combination meter) failure, which is not recall but "campaign" that expired & repair costs $1,111. Motherboard part can take up to 3 weeks but car cannot be driven while Toyota "burns" my computer's information into new computer part. Toyota dealer provided loaner car until repair is completed. On 07/14/17 called Toyota & filed complaint about water pump & combo meter. Toyota says hybrid electric water pump campaign did not affect my VIN, which I do not believe. Toyota says combination meter campaign expired for my VIN. Pending call back from Toyota at this time.

On may 16, 2015, while driving my second-generation 2007 Toyota Prius on the freeway, I experienced a sudden loss of power, along with the illumination on the instrument panel of the malfunction indicator light, master warning light and hybrid warning light. I was able to maneuver the car to the side of the road and summon emergency help. A nearby Toyota dealership replaced the hybrid inverter water pump, which fixed the problem. However, the dealership did not advise me of a safety recall. Toyota customer experience center today stated that the original hybrid inverter water pump was replaced on April 7, 2011, under Toyota limited service notice a0n; hence, Toyota refused my phone request for reimbursement of my may, 2015, repair expense. The 2011 "a0n" replacement pump appears to have failed by the same failure mechanism leading to recall campaign "c0u", which is different from the a0n failure mechanism.

Water pump failure. 76,000 miles is premature for a waterpump.

While driving on the freeway, suddenly noticed slight jolt and illumination of various warning lights in the instrument panel (check engine, large warning sign, emergency car danger sign, vsc sign). Hybrid system ceased functioning, leading the the car to drive using gasoline engine only. Dealership determined hybrid electric water pump was no longer functioning, needed replacement at cost of $570.

Driving the car at 40 mph went it suddenly stopped. Was able to coast to the side of the road. Found out today that the water pump caused the inverter to become non-working which caused the engine to shut down. Very dangerous. Lucky I was not on the interstate.

I brought my car in for a recall on steering mechanism which resulted in a bolt replacement. The service adviser advised me I needed to replace water pump. This car already had one pump replaced on a recall, why was the other pump not recalled?.

The cooling system in my car is defective. The water pump is apparently leaking when I have committed no precursive action to cause it. This issue is related to the same issue in my other similar Toyota Priuses, where defective electric water pumps unexpectedly stop working. The other cars are consequently recalled and I believe mine should be as well. . Read more...

My car had hesitation issues since shortly after I bought it. It would bog down, and almost die in traffic. I would lose speed on the hwy/road & nearly get hit. Previously, the dealer replaced the gas tank because its "bladder" was bad @ 54,057 miles on 08/05/2011. The factory split the cost on this repair (which appears to occur more than they are admitting). The performance improved for a little while, but there has always been funny noises coming from my vehicle and the car would not power on at times. Other times, it would freeze or power off. The maintenance warning lights would come on and then turn off. Infrequently, air would come through the backseat vents like it is supposed to. Frequently, I would smell unusual smells after stopping my car. My car ate up the inside of a new set of tires very quickly despite being properly aligned. The hvac blower motor was cutting on and off at times and making funny noises. Many times when it would cut off, I could open and slam the hood and the hvac blower motor would engage, as if there was an electrical short in it. When the hvac blower motor quit altogether, I took my car to the dealer. The dealer said that the mower had gone out. There was an actual problem with the hv electric water pump as well as a factory recall. Interestingly, the dealer discovered tat the engine motor water pump was also leaking. What a coincidence! now that all of these components have been replaced, my car appears to work normal again like it has not worked since I first bought the car.

The contact owns a 2007 Toyota Prius. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 12v536000 (engine and engine cooling, hybrid propulsion system). The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the water pump needed to be repaired. The contact stated that the water pump was repaired previously under a manufacturer's recall. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 121,568.

Ice water pump failure at 51,000 miles. 13 months out of warranty. Dealer and corporate office would not cover any part of repair.

This is in regards to the electrical fuel pump that is already being recalled. I had my vehicle shut off while driving in traffic. I had it towed to the Toyota dealership at the time and they replaced the electric water pump, the water pump, and the battery. My invoice came out to $1213. I sent this to Toyota for a refund when the recall notice came out. They refunded me a mere $428 (this is for only the electric water pump) claiming that they do not have anything that shows the battery or the other water pump could be effected by the recall condition. It seems strange that I brought my vehicle in when I experienced exactly the same condition described in the recall and ended up needing multiple parts replaced when Toyota claims only the electrical water pump may be effected. I had no other issues with my vehicle leading up to this so it seems highly unlikely that the water pump and battery just went bad at the very same moment the electrical water pump stopped.

Tl-the contact owns a 2004 Toyota Prius hybrid. The contact stated that hot and cold air was being emitted from the ventilation system when neither the air conditioning unit nor the heater was activated. Additionally, the wrench warning light illuminated immediately after the failure. The vehicle was later towed to a dealer for diagnosis where they advised him that the water pump failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired for the water pump. The manufacturer was contacted and confirmed that the vehicle was included in NHTSA campaign id number 12v536000 (engine and engine cooling). The vehicle was serviced per the recall however, the failure recurred one year later. The vehicle was not inspected by a dealer or an independent mechanic. The manufacturer was later contacted and advised him that the dealer could have previously replaced the water pump with a defective one. The vehicle was not further repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 185,000. The current mileage was approximately 194,000. Kmj.

The standard engine water pump was found to be leaking and had to be replaced on 10/1/11 at 32553 mi. The electric hybrid water pump was replaced under recall on 04/02/11 at 30222 mi.

A sudden jerk and a bunch of warnings lights appeared on dashboard. The car made it 20 miles to my home but I was running on a damaged engine. Took it to the dealer the next day, allen Toyota of gulfport, ms, and they fixed it saying water pump had to be replaced charging me $295. I have receipt. Dealer told me to apply to this website as I recently received a recall notice from Toyota about this part promising they would reimburse if the part had been repaired at my expense before receiving recall letter.

I was driving my 2008 Prius on highway and warning light came on. In 2 minutes all power gone and I have had to towed to the dealer. They said, water pump failed and because of that hybrid inverter fried. Car was out of guaranty and there was no recall about water pump. I paid nearly $5. 000. 00 for water pump and hybrid invertor. I have seen there is a recall about water pump now. Is there any way I can get my money back?.

For a long time my Prius has had pauses in acceleration occassionally when leaving a stopped position. You press on the gas and there is a couple of second pause before it accelerates. You have to be careful when pulling out into traffic because when it looks like you have time to go, with the pause it is no longer safe to pull out. I call it stalling out. There is a recall for Prius that began on January 17,2013. It states: the corroded wire may break and the water pump could stop. It could cause a short circuit between coil wires and a possible open fuse, creating a stall like condition. The remedy is that Toyota will replace the electric water pump at no charge. I have the stall like condition and during my last service at a Toyota dealership he told me I needed a new water pump. I contacted Toyota about my problem and the recall. They responded that my vehicle was not involved in the recall and they would offer me no assistance in the $500 payment for the water pump. I believe my vehicle has the problems listed in the recall and should be included.

The contact owns a 2007 Toyota Prius. The contact stated that while driving approximately 55 mph the vehicle started to overheat. The check engine light illuminated on the instrument panel prior to the failure. The vehicle was taken to a dealer nearby and they advised him that they needed to replace the inverter pump.

The dealer was notified and advised the vehicle was safe to drive; unless the temperature, brake or oil warning lights illuminated. The vehicle began to lose power and the anti-lock brake system warning light illuminated. The vehicle was maneuvered to the side of the highway. The vehicle was towed to the dealer. The failures were related to the inverter water pump and the skid control electronic control unit (ecu). The inverter water pump was replaced. The failure occurred a second time.

On 23 Jan 2010, while driving I-85n in the south carolina mountains the car stalled at 70mph. An audible alert sounded, the car jerked and three warning lights went off. I coasted the car to the shoulder and shut the car down. I restarted the car -- the warning lights cleared -- and continued driving. About 30 minutes later, still in the mountains, the same things occurred (stall while driving 70mph on the interstate. ) when I restarted the car a yellow "!" warning remained on. I continued the trip to virginia with no further problems. The warning light went out. On 5 Feb 2010, while driving on I-95s in the south carolina mountains the car stalled, warning lights and audible alarm sounded. Upon restart the "!" stayed on. This happened two more times; once on I-95 and once on I-20. The last two times the red triangle warning light stayed on also. On 6 Feb 2010, I took the car to Toyota center in columbia SC. The service manager told me the water pump needed to be replaced ($384) because air got into the system. I asked if that was why I could hear "sloshing" from the engine when driving; he said yes. I explained that I was confused since the coolant recovery tank never went below the low line. His response was that air in the system was a known problem for the Prius and that I should keep the coolant level higher than marked. Also that driving in the south carolina mountains -- both the heat of the engine and the angle of ascent and descent -- is probably what triggered the problem. Prior to both trips, the car was checked by a mechanic. Fluid levels were clear and adequate. I am now in the flatlands of texas, and I can once again hear the sloshing sound coming from my engine. Beyond the expense I am concerned that the engine is completely stalling. If this were to occur in rush hour in a crowded city I'm not sure the car would be safely navigable to the shoulder.

60 k inspection by state licensed service- Toyota. At 62k water pump had to be replaced by Toyota dealer, would not recognize previous inspection (not a dealer). Dealer failed to burp engine causing air in system. Personally added antifreeze. 2) headlight are now locked in the lower elevation causing the dims to be approx 30 feet in front of vehicle. Outrun lighted area very rapidly. Believe to be a very dangerous situation 3)Smart key (s) quit at same time. 4) second set tires needing replacement just over 25k miles 5) at times the engine battery just goes dead. All happened just over 60k miles. Dealer will look at items for a service charge and if problems the service charge will be deducted from cost. I was informed that none of the items are under warranty because the vehicle is past the 60k. It is apparent that the water pump condition happened prior to the 60k by the build up of antifreeze on old pump which I plan on sending to Toyota.
