The actuators for the locks on 3 of the doors have failed over time.i have replaced the front-driver side actuator once previously and it started to fail first. When i lock the car, i only have one door that unlocks which is the rear-passenger door.if it fails, i will be locked out of the car.it seems wrong that i cannot unlock my car well.it seems wrong this has failed multiple times on a 6yr old car.it is defective and potentially unsafe.
The contact owns a 2012 toyota prius plug-in hybrid. The contact stated that there was a sudden loss of power and the vehicle stalled several times. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. On several occasions, the dealer was unable to replicate and diagnose the failure. The manufacturer was notified. The contact was uncertain if the vehicle would be repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 60,000.
Nothing happened yet, but i am concerned about numerous reports of the inverter failing and causing sudden loss of power. I understand this is still happening despite affected cars having received a software update to "prevent" the issue. During an emergency, regenerative systems prevent these cars from swiftly coasting out of the travel lane as other cars would do. Instead, the car will act like the brakes have been slammed on, causing a serious hazard. I read about this here https://toyotatalk.com/toyota-prius-hybrid-inverter/
I'm driving around 60mph and suddenly the electronic stability control light went on and the all wheels suddenly braked. It's just so dangerous, good thing no body behind me at that moment. This happened several times. The car could brake suddenly by itself without warning even when it's high speed or low speed. There's a clicking noise under the dashboard. This is because of the malfunction of electronic stability control in the prius. It could cause the car brake by itself without warning and could cause big accident, especially in the freeway.
I have hybrid system warning message & pcs system warning message on my car i have taken it to different dealership in dallas tx area any none of them has fix it try to do research on my own to figure out and found that toyota has this in recall my dealership is not willing to do anything with the car.

Engine oil getting to the intake manifold. And filling up with oil. Throttle body gets really dirty with oil. In turn the engine burns oil. Which clogs up the egr system. The engine would over heat which could cause the head gasket to blow. During winter months. Engine restarts would be harsh because it would have condesaion on the cyclinder this could cause the engine to blow. Broken connecting rods. Blown head gasket all sort of things could happen from having oil get to the intake manifold. Starting from 2010 these prius suffer from this and toyota hasnt done anything other then suppsodelly redesigning the intake manifold. Which is the same. Toyota just dont want to deal with it.
Headlights keep burning out. Both sides. About every four months. This is dangerous!!! and unnecessarily expensive!!!

When operating the vehicle on a snow covered road, i attempted to stop when the vehicle was traveling about 35 mph.when i pressed my brake pedal down as i was approaching the intersection, the anti-lock brakes did not function.the pedal press was firm, but there was noise that is typically experienced when anti-lock brakes are in use, and it felt like there was initial braking with my application of the brakes, but when the anti-lock brakes should have kicked in, it felt like the car surged ahead and the braking mostly stopped, even though i was pressing down as hard as i could.i traveled about 1/8 mile decelerating from 35 to 0 mph. The next day i described the problem experienced with my spouse, and in our long snow covered driveway, i attempted a stop using the anti-lock brake system and it functioned correctly stopping quickly.with this being the following day, starting the car up the next day may have reset the brake system, but i have now way of knowing.there were no error codes generated.
My 2012 plug-in prius came up with a c1391 code. The abs, brake and brake skid lights came on. I have no re-gen braking and when i actually brake it seems very sluggish.
When the driver door is open, full power is on, brake peddle released the car will still move forward. The vehicle was stationary. Then started in motioni started to get out of car but stopped it
While stopped in a parking lot, foot brake pressed,transmission in drive, when opening drivers door and foot brake released car still moves forward. It should go into park automatic but does not.
I recently had a repair service done on my prius plug-in, but can't in good conscious understand why i had to pay $756 to get into my car.i purchased my 2012 toyota prius plug-in in july, 2012. Three and a half years later, i had to have the driver's door lock actuator replaced @ 51k miles. Less than two and a half years later, the same driver's door lock actuator had to be replaced @ approximately 80k miles ' in addition to all three other door lock actuators.roughly six months ago, the right, rear door lock stopped working. Then the left rear stopped working. Then the driver's door (which was noticed on my last service visit). And finally the passenger door lock. This car does not have a key to unlock the driver's door, only an electronic fob. As a result, i have been climbing though my rear hatch to reach the right rear door lock, to unlock that door, to then reach in to the right front door lock; at which point i can open the right front door and reach over to unlock the driver's side door.not only is this ridiculous and embarrassing, as i've had to do this in front of co-workers, and consultants i've had to drive to meetings with at my company, but it's incredibly dangerous. I won't have my daughter or wife drive the car, since they can't safely unlock or enter the car.so here i am, having spent $756 to be able to enter my car, since there is no key option, and in fact it's the second time in less than 30k miles to replace the driver's door lock actuator.

Car was parked and the charge cord connected. It had about 2.9 miles left on battery power, by that calculation it should been charged by 1100p. At 1230p car was fully engulfed in fire. Fire dept is investigating for arson, but my neighbors camera caught it all (i haven't seen it) it seems the car just start on fire by itself, insurance is still investigating, but i'm almost positive that this fire started on its on. It would be great if you guys could follow up. My house also caught on fire. Had i not been jolted up and tried to save my house with a hose, we would have lost the house also. Car was 100 percent destroyed
