My 2010 prius momentarily speeds up at times when I hit a large bump in road. Car has previously received the software update by toyota dealer.
2010 toyota prius. The consumer stated he experienced two safety issues; loss of brake effectiveness and engine race *tgw when the consumer applied the brakes when going over bumps/rough roads, or in marginal conditions due to snow/ice when approaching a stop sign, he would lose braking effectiveness. The consumer took the vehicle to the dealer for a recall repair on march 24, 2010. However, he continued to experience loss of brake effectiveness. The consumer pulled into a neighbor's driveway after driving less than one mile from his home. After pushing the park button, but before pushing the power button, the engine began to race. It was not at an extreme high RPM and it was not for an extended period time, but it did last for several seconds. After the vehicle went down to normal RPM, after a s second or two, it began all over again. The consumer stated it was not a surge as the vehicle was not in gear at the time.
2010 prius ii - when in park, or just slightly on the brakes and the engine switches from electronic to gas motor, the car rocks forward 1-3 inches. Very terrifying, but according to kendall toyota of eugene, oregon, this is "normal". I don' t know of any world in which a car moving on its own while in park is normal.
I was driving on the freeway with my cruise control on. It was set to 56 MPH. All of a sudden, the vehicle started lurching. It was like it was trying to accelerate then slow down, then accelerate, then slow down. I immediately shut off the cruise control. It has also happened again today when I tried to use the cruise control.
My make: toyota model: prius year: 2010 complaint number: 10311958 summary: my 2010 prius completed its "recall" service yesterday. Today, the car lost power and died while I was driving on to the freeway. I was able to pull over to the side of the freeway and turned it on and off several times until it started. When I called the dealer which is located in thousand oaks, california, I was told by the consumer complaint person that the dealer would not fix the problem unless I was able to recreate the problem with a technician in the car.
Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6) I need to bring our 2010 prius back-in. The last time [xxx] with a "y" worked on the rattle in the dash. He was able to fix that but now only in the cool mornings there is a popping sound coming from the dash. Please contact me as to when he can work on it again. It is very important that it be done first thing in the am. Car needs to be cool! I am sure if left in the sun it will not do it. If needed I can bring car in first to show problem and car can stay over night again if need. I know toyota has a quality problem in this area, I will report it to toyota mfg.& dot under other. Looks like other prius have this same problem... [xxx]2010 toyota prius [xxx] color: blizzard pearl selling dealer: [xxx]
My 2010 toyota prius does not always recognize the key and will not open doors and not start the vehicle. The gear shift jumps out of gear going from reverse to drive and vice versa. The heater does not work properly. I am afraid to drive my newly purchased vehicle. Please advise.

Prius 2010 braking issue - problem has occurred at least 5 times; on rough surface, downhill surface or when wheels encounter a manhole or steel plate road cover. Problem is recurring. Car has 12,600 miles on it.
Toyota prius 2010 suddenly stops and stalls at low speeds. After this, it would not start for 20 minutes, despite repeatedly turning the engine on and off.
Access to the oil drain plug and oil filter is through a plastic doorway opening under the engine compartment. The doorway is a partial cutout from a larger plastic shield which encompasses the entire front portion of the car. I performed my 3rd oil change and during this preparation I found that the door portion of the shield is broken away from the larger piece of plastic due to bending/hinging the door. Only after 2 oil changes this plastic door has broken off because the plastic is not designed to be repeatedly bent from open to close more than once. Unless you change your own oil, you will never see this door break off... And after 2 oil changes.
