What Owners Say
"Screen freezes up. Often unable to connect phone to Bluetooth."
Anonymous, CA (2018 Toyota Prius Unsure 1.8-L 4 Cyl hybrid)"The dashboard screen is sometimes blank (black). Most times it fixes itself. I believe only once did I need to stop the engine and re-start the vehicle."
Anonymous, ME (2018 Toyota Prius Four 1.8-L 4 Cyl hybrid)"The screen went blank and then restarted as if the car had just been turned on. The diagnosis was a software issue related to having more than 2 smartphones connected via bluetooth and was resolved by the dealer."
Anonymous, NC (2018 Toyota Prius Four 1.8-L 4 Cyl hybrid)"Phones would randomly get disconnected from Bluetooth."
Anonymous, MA (2018 Toyota Prius Four 1.8-L 4 Cyl hybrid)"The bluetooth phone connection is dodgy. Speaker just stops picking up my voice."
Anonymous, (2018 Toyota Prius Four 1.8-L 4 Cyl hybrid)"this is directly related to nav system problems and system freezing. they are all tied together. sometimes, they can be resolved by a clean reboot of both phone and car. sometimes not. Toyota tech support can provide no assistance with the problem."
Anonymous, VA (2018 Toyota Prius Four 1.8-L 4 Cyl hybrid)"The voice recognition software is highly unreliable and became worse after a software update that was performed by the dealer. Fundamentally, it does not work!"
Anonymous, ME (2018 Toyota Prius Four 1.8-L 4 Cyl hybrid)"both software updates and navigation map updates appear to be on a 2 year or longer referesh cycle, according to the dealership. that's ridiculous in this day and age."
Anonymous, VA (2018 Toyota Prius Four 1.8-L 4 Cyl hybrid)"Cruise Control fails after 12 to 30 minutes after engagement."

"Twice the 11 inch display seems to have rebooted itself while driving. No effect on driving but very unnerving at highway speed. Dealer could not find anything wrong."
