Owner report 10717229 · 2015-05-19 (May 19, 2015)

WE WERE IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC ON THE HIGHWAY FOR JUST OVER A HALF HOUR WITH MY TWO YOUNG CHILDREN IN THE CAR. SPEEDS BELOW 10 MILES PER HOUR. AT THE TIME OF INCIDENT, WE WERE TRAVELING BETWEEN 5-7 MPH. TRIED COMING TO A STOP WITH ABOUT 10 FEET BETWEEN OUR CAR AND A BIG RIG IN FRONT. THE BRAKES WOULDN'T EGANGE. REPEATEDLY STOMPED ON THE BRAKE PEDAL BETWEEN 5 TO 10 TIMES. CAR BREAK WOULD NOT ENGAGE AND WE ROLLED INTO BIG RIG BUMPER. THIS GAVE US A CHANCE TO POWER DOWN THE CAR WITH THE PUSH/START BUTTON.

Owner report 11673861 · 2025-07-16 (July 16, 2025)

The car stalls randomly and does not enter fail-safe mode. The dealer says it is the transmission but the transmission has never shuddered or hesitated. I am reading that these vehicles have intelligent power modules in the hybrid inverter that fail and can cause stalling. I feel like the dealership is working with Toyota to avoid addressing the actual problem. In the meantime I was sent home in a vehicle that continues to stall randomly and does not enter fail-safe mode.
