Toyota Prius Change Vehicle

"unresolved rattle in dash, unknown reason"

"There is an INTERMITTENT rattle near the upper instrument cluster. I drove it home with the rattle. The dealer assured me they could get it fixed. Three dealerships later I still have the rattle. I'm out of warranty, but have an Incident Number since there have been so many unsuccessful attempts to fix the rattle. That will will extend the dealers' responsibility to fix it. My next recourse is to get a phone video recording of the rattle. Of course, being intermittent, it never acts up on the test drives with the repair tech. I salute the dealerships for trying, but this can be a very annoying problem since in general the vehicle is very quiet."

"Very lour and annoying rattle behind the display, was intermittent in nature but very obvious and disconcerting when present. Took multiple(over 3) trips to the dealer to finally get it resolved,. It's gone for the most part. Still the occasional minor rattle."

"Started at least 12 months ago. Happens on any slightly rough road, even asphalt, at any speed. Toyota guy said he couldn't hear it on test drive, so not resolved."

"Rattle when using air conditioning"

"Antennae under dash was loose and made a rattle while driving"

"Rattle emanating from behind display. Dealer did address and it stopped for awhile but returned. Took to dealer a 2nd time, and they were unable to duplicate. It has now gotten much worse. Will be taking it in again / 3rd time!"

"When initially bought the car had squeaks with the radio system. They replaced it at no cost. Recently getting squeaks which I cannot tell are coming from the radio or the AC. Have not brought it in because I want to get more info on when it occur first. Not constant."

"Dash squeaks a bit. There is a TSB (technical service bulletin) for a fix, but I didn't do anything since I didn't want the dash pulled apart. I can live with a few squeaks."

"Rattle noise on dashboard"

"Noises inside the cabin pasenger side, fixed by toyota"

"Rattle under the center dash is irritating but nothing serious"

"On rough pavement there is a dash rattle"

"Minor rattle which turned out to be from part of the rear-view mirror assembly. Dealer service department corrected the problem at no cost."

"A bothersome rattle started in the right dashboard after only 2000 miles in my new Prius. It's really a bad rattle on poor roads. Dealer says he can't hear it during test drive so hasn't fixed it yet."

"There is an intermittent rattle in the upper instrument cluster. It occurs on rough paved roads and has since I drove it home. I've had the dealership check it several times. Twice they couldn't make it rattle. Once they tho't it was a seal UNDER the dashboard, but that repair didn't stop it. It gets loud sometimes and is annoying any time it happens. We expected better from a brand new car."

"Rattle behind the Navigation screen; addressed by dealer and fixed. However has reappeared again after about 6 months"

"The speaker turned out to be bad. They replaced it free under warranty"

"Highly distracting wind noise when there is cross-wind."

"There is wind noise at highway speeds in multiple windows. They keep fixing it and it shows up again elsewhere"

"Connectivity with Entune is spotty. Sometimes, you have to disconect Entune and reconnect to initiate a link between the vehicle and the iPhone. When I switch between my Camry and Prius, I have to select the vehicle in the Entune software. It is annoying if you have already started the car and are driving."

"The blue tooth interface with iPhone resulted in jibberish instead of audio file. Software upgrade at the dealership fixed the problem. Same interface needs to be reset before listening to audio files about 50% of the time."

"System sometimes gives wrong directions. System is not always adaptable if a route has to change (ie detours). The system has been able to learn to adapt to some route variances."

"System randomly fails to respond to voice commands."

"gave bad directions. Did not send me to the interstate rather to a very slow route"

"The nav system is usually reliable, but poorly designed. The audio cues cannot be heard when the radio is operating; the radio should be reduced in volume level or completely squelched. In addition, the audio cues are terse; for example, turn left at next corner should include the name of the roadway onto which the turn is to me executed. And when arriving at the destination the message is not clear if it is on the right or left, closeby or not so close."

"Sent me on a very slow route instead of the interstate that I wanted"

"The navigation system has taken us to incorrect locations several times, including routing us to a residence about 4 miles from our desired location when we programmed it for a hospital at 4 a.m.! It has also taken us on circuitous routes instead of ones that made sense. The dealer wants $169 for an update but doesn't claim it will solve the problem."

"Most features are blocked, without letting you know, indicating you are the problem"

"experenced the phonne calling people on contact list if I was in call with wife and had a pacemaker. She turned off blue tooth on her smartphone"

"Bluetooth malfunctioned becasue passenger,myself, with my pacemaker. It called some contacts on wife's phone without inaction on her part."

"Entune constantly loses pairing with my iPhone and never seems to reconnect both the phone and the audio together. I have to connect them separately."

"The interface (touchscreen) is klutzy and difficult to change stations while driving. occasionally my hand/finger will touch the screen accidentally, resulting in a change to the radio station."

"No feature improvements, actually removed features. Primitive, unsupported."

"The software updates reflects the problem with the forward collision avoidance."

"lane departure assist does not operate"

"Molding between doors began melting. Had it replaced by dealer only to have reoccurr"

"Bird droppings on hood caused the paint to corrode."

"I have the white prius and the paint peeled off on the hood and front side fenders."
