All four door lock actuators have failed on my 2014 vehicle. Toyota denies any knowledge of this as a common problem, but the internet shows that it is a problem after only 3 or 4 years of purchase of a brand new vehicle. Repair costs are very high for each door for this problem. There is only one door with key entry.
Car battery ceased function following heat wave - required secondary battery replacement. Vehicle was stationary after short drive (1 mile) following 24 hour non operation during high heat (100+). Attempted to turn car on and engine would not start. Required a tow and full battery replacement.

I was driving in san francisco i had three passenger with me in the car and when i was going up to the hill the car powerstarts getting weaker and i was hearing that cares in the car i don't want to go up the hill now i'm like it's keeps going weaker and weaker and weaker and all the sudden the car started rolling back on me i think the cannot take more than four people in the carand i think you cannot drive the score in san francisco and this happened to me twice and the first time i had an accident at the corner behind me because the car couldn't go up the hill and it's not even big hill is a small hill it's all over san francisco those hills.

City street ...pressed on gas after the light changed and it did not go forward and then waivered for awhile. I was very close to home. I do not know how it will work tomorrow . No warning lights were on. It has acted funny before like thison highway trips and then it wouldn't do it. Toyota dealers do not even know about them and it is annoying. It feels like a transmission slipping but has less than 70,000 miles. I thought maybe heat is doing it but now that it is outof warranty ie over 5 years old, i do not know what to do. I am unsure what causes this since no lights warn anything is wrong.
I was driving at night on back roads when both headlights went out.i stopped the car, turned it off and restarted it to see what would happen.the lights did not go on, however, i found that if i held the switch up as though i was turning on high beams, the high beams worked.i could not get the low beams to work.i was taking someone home and stopped at their house.when i came back to the car and turned it on, the lights worked normally.

Brake failure / unintended acceleration / unknown cause driving at approx 25mph on urban street (road in good condition no potholes, ramps, etc) i began to slowly brake as i approached a red traffic light. Instead of braking, the car began to accelerate quickly. I pressed the brake pedal again - no response. Pressed down hard for a third time which executed an emergency stop. This all happened within 1 or 2 secs. There were no injuries or involvement of other cars on this occasion. However, had i been any closer to the car in front, i believe i would have rear-ended it. Had this occurred a few moments later, at the busy junction 400m ahead, it could have been fatal. I am absolutely sure it was not driver error. I was not distracted, drive regularly, and have been a confident and safe driver for over 30yrs. I have never experienced this in a car before, and in fact wasn't aware that it could happen until i researched it on this site. No warning lights or indicators came on. The car ran normally for the remaining 2 miles back home.i didn't think anything of it before, but prior to this incident (in our 5 yrs ownership) there were approx. 5 instances when the engine would "roar" as if it wanted to accelerate but didn't when i was breaking or slowing down on a highway. Also, there were perhaps 3 instances when the car felt as though it was "running away" i.e. A slight acceleration - for no obvious reason. As neither of these represented safety issues, i assumed the car was just a bit old and these issues would be addressed as part of any service. Now i wonder if they are related to the sudden acceleration. The car is currently having a "health checks" run, but nothing has been found. I am reluctant to drive this vehicle if neither my dealer or toyota can discern the problem. Overall we have been happy with this car and its performance, but this is an unacceptable "anomaly" as far as safety is concerned. Vehicle available for inspection.

A los 3 meses de comprado fue en marzo 2017 dio la primera vez el problema en todo el sistema de frenos lo repare y al mismo tiempo exacto finales de junio 2017 volvio a dar el mismo problema el concesionario no quizo responder ni porque tenia garantia lleve el carro y como no se podia manejar por los frenos no servian me enviaron el carro en grua a mi casa no lo uso desde agosto y lo estoy pagando y por logica ya sucedio dos veces el carro no sirve y ya no se a quien pedir ayuda porque el carro aunque se repare su problema se volvera a repetir porque el carro no sirve y me e encontrado un comunicado donde dicen que los prius muchos han resultado con el mismo problema de los frenos. Toyata dijo en unos de mis reclamos que era mi culpa y ni en lo mas absoluto nl es mi culpa soy duea de 3 carros mas y mas viejos y con ninguno he tenido problemas de ninguna indole espero puedan ayudarme porque mi vida y la de mi hija corren peligro al manejar ese vehiculo. Adjunto foto de cuando del dealer mandaron mi carro porque no es nada seguro manejarlo.😠
While braking the front wheel rolled over a sunken sewer cover causing temporary braking failure and a sliding sensation.
I bought a2014 toyota prius c 10-07-2017 from carvana with less than 30,000 miles. With 2 new tires in the front bridgestone ecopia 175/65 r15. Itwobbles at speeds above 50 mph and sloppy steering the road was dry. Well at that time the the car was still under warrant with carvana so if i change my mind about it i could get another car. Searched the web for similar complaints and found a few. So we took the car to a place that sold bridgestone tires to replace the rear tires that were original but goodyear brand same size. So now we have 4 tires the same and quess what happen the same wobbly driving and sloppy steering at 50 mph. So we took the car back to the shop. The mechanic said i guess that is why they put the 2 new tires in the front to corrrect the problem but what you need after my test drive is a 4 wheel alignment. So i said go ahead and do it. During the process the alignment mechanic guy said the front passed but the rear failed. So they called toyota dealership and asked if they were special shims to fix the rear alignment.the toyota dealership said there are no parts for that because that car model does not require a rear alignment. The c in toyota prius means c is for city driving only. We were stunned. I said i knew they had a reason why they got rid of the car but can you fix it ? the mechanic said it is a possible factory defect and we see some of those sometimes but i think we can fix it and solve your problems with that car. We can use some shims that are made for a different type of toyota car and see if we can get it in proper alignment. I said i am willing to gamble on your expertise go ahead and do it. It is still under warranty with carvana but i do like the hatchback car. After the work was done the test drive proved the success and the problem was gone. Oh and by the way it drives great on the highway and i still own it.

I live in durango colorado. The traction control function deemed to be dangerous last winter. My vehicle was spinning out on ice covered highways and i could not turn this function off. Newer vehicles have the ability to turn this function off in order to avoid this issue. This is very dangerous. I almost got hit by semi truck.
