Owner reports filed with NHTSA, as written (personal details removed). Complaints are not verified by NHTSA.

Service Brakes · reported Nov 2, 2026

Immediately after hard braking to a safe stop the accelerator pedal became unresponsive stranding me in a lane of traffic. I fully released the accelerator then pumped and released it several times. I tried pumping the brakes but nothing restored accelerator function. Finally, I tried shutting the car off then restarting it and that restored normal function for all systems. It was a bit scary and dangerous being stranded in traffic if only for about 1 or 2 minutes. The car was running on battery power and there were about 15 miles of power remaining. I did not see any warning lights or…

Suspension · reported Oct 12, 2026

The design and engineering of this vehicle is defective. All of the vehicles on the road need to be recalled. The outside an inside edges of the tire wear at an extreme rate which will result entire failure, collision, and eventually fatalities. I own two 2024 Prius prime XLE premiums, and I have read online and everyone is having this problem. The torque is so extreme that even the new vehicles cannot maintain alignment. The wheel and tire combination from the factory is simply not suitable for the weight and power of the vehicle.

Electrical System · at 22,233 miles · reported Oct 8, 2026

The other driver sustained injuries and required medical attention. The vehicle was towed to a tow yard. A Police report was…

Unknown or Other · reported Oct 4, 2026

I was driving the vehicle at less than 15 miles in Wickham Park on Oct. 1, 2026. As I slowly turned right into a parking lot, the vehicle suddenly picked up speed, and crashed into a big tree near the parking lot. The airbag was activated, and the front end of the vehicle was severely damaged. Luckily, no one was injured from the accident, but this could have caused serous risk to myself and others. I am going to request Toyota to perform investigation to identify a cause of unintended acceleration. My wife also experienced unintended acceleration on the same vehicle on Sept. 29, 2025. When…

Air Bags · at 35,981 miles · reported Jun 5, 2026
