Filed May 29, 2025 · Brakes · IL

Toyota defective ABS system- revised master cylinder&brake booster pump never changed by dealership except misleading inspection and breach of recall in 2020. The incident happened last year in Sep 2024 dangerous on hwy or freeway. Thank got I was on the side street with beeping vehicle and codes on the dashboard, barely with serious risk went back home! As a defective parts they should be replaced for free or customer should received reimbursement! A professional dealer who performs ONLY AN INSPECTION for a “recall” in 2020 should replace the factory-damaged part and not brazenly wait for the codes to appear on the dashboard, depriving the customer of free replacement of the factory-defective ABS system. "the complaint was originally filed over the Toyota hybrid system problems in Feb. 2020, presenting claims on behalf of owners of certain 2010 through 2015 Toyota Prius and Prius PHV, 2012 through 2015 Toyota Prius V, 2012 -2014 Toyota Camry Hybrid and Toyota Avalon Hybrid vehicles that contain the defective braking system" ... This complaint accuses Toyota of placing PROFITS before the lives and safety of hundreds of thousands of drivers and passengers whose brakes are defective, but must wait for the potentially life-threatening brake booster defect to occur before the manufacturer will address it. The lawsuit ; ;"presents claims of breach of warranties, false advertisement, illegal sales practices, fraudulent concealment, unfair and deceptive trade practices, unjust enrichment and various other allegations on behalf of hundreds of thousands of impacted vehicle owners across the nation".

We hare recently started experiencing excessive oil consumption without dash warning. Our car burned 2 quarts of oil in 150 miles with no warning. Toyota has issued an internal service bulletin (t-sb-0169-16) that covers our VIN number, but since we are beyond warranty they made no offer to help (we were not notified while the vehicle was under warranty). Essentially our car was in motion at highway speeds with little or no oil, but no warning that there was no oil. I think we got very lucky that our drive ended before the engine failed.

Toyota dealership refused on recall based on defected steering shaft which was bought by me and fixed by mechanic. It was critical issue and recall in other models as well. Also, toyota does not fix defective piston rings based on excessive oil consumption -https://attachments.priuschat.com/attachment-files/2019/04/165269_t-sb-0169-16.pdf. Please help me at least recover some money for the part and finally let them be responsible for burned oil in engine!

The car burns oil for not reason. Between oil changes I will go through 2 quarts of oil that I have to add. Other prius owners have the same issues. I only have 120,000 miles on it.

I put this car into service january 1, 2014. I drove 150,000 miles changing my oil religiously as recommended. I had never burned a drop of oil prior to this. Then all of a sudden I started burning a quart every 2000 miles. After looking at toyota forums this seems to be a common problem.
