Prius V :: 2011 - Sounds Like The Space Shuttle Launching
Purchased our 2011 Prius new this past August. We currently have 28k miles on it.
After driving it for one week, one morning we started it and it sounded like the space shuttle was taking off.....it rattled and bang, clanged and shook for about 2-3 seconds. Then all was fine.
About every three weeks or so it would do it again, and again. Upon our next service we told the dealer. He said they were having trouble with a motor mount....so they they replaced it. Couple weeks later same thing.....several weeks after that....again.
Ford 7.3L Power Stroke (1999-2003) :: E450 - Shuttle Bus Won't Start After Parking For 3 Days
I am a new diesel owner. So I'm not too familiar, how to trouble shoot. I am however, pretty familiar with working on gasoline vehicles. I have a 1999 E-450 Shuttle Bus that will not start after parking it for just 3 days. I live in the area where weather has been above 90 degrees each day. I've charged the batteries, replaced them, and boosted, still no start. I have fuel coming in the bowl. And the battery meter on dash is showing that I'm cranking at around 14 volts.

No warning ...would not start. 24,000 miles on a 2011 PRIUS. Tow truck jump started it and I drove 1/2 mile and emission light, then red lights came on and I lost power? Towed to the dealer. This is my 1st hybrid and I have no clue what is wrong. The tow truck driver mentioned the hydrocell?
View 10 RepliesPrius (Gen 3) :: 2011 - Fan Sounds Like Wind Coming In Through Rear Window
I am wondering how much fan noise is normal from the passenger rear vent while driving.
My fan is on almost constantly and it sounds like wind coming in through the rear window but it is actually the fan from the vent. I have had passengers in the front seat ask what the noise is coming from the rear. I have taken it into the dealer 3 times and they say that is normal for Prius' to have that noise all the time.
My Prius is 2011, bought on Feb 2, 11.
I have 5000 miles and the noise has been present from the onset of owning the vehicle. I am really frustrated because it sounds excessive to me. Is your fan on most of the time and significantly audible?
Prius (2010-12) :: Buzzing And Rattling Sounds At Around The Top Of Dash
I've been hearing buzzing and rattling sounds somewhere around the top of the dash in the mornings when the car was cool, by the afternoon many times the sound would go away a little while when the car warmed up in the sun.
Sometimes it would buzz when it was cold or hot. It sounded like it was coming from the HSI display area, but I couldn't quite nail down where it was because its a little to far to reach while driving. Also I didn't want to scratch the clear plastic cover with my fingernail.
Prius (2010-12) :: Horn Sounds After Parking In Garage
After washing my car this morning, I pulled it into the garage, pushed the park button, then the power button and got out of the car. Shortly after entering my house from the garage the horn started sounding very loudly. I grabbed the keys and ran back out to the garage to see what was wrong. I pushed the power button again but it just went to the accessory setting, then I powered up and checked to be sure I was in park, brake set, no door open. When I pushed the power button again, the horn stopped and everything seemed to be normal. I checked some other threads but they seemed to be about a horn alarm. I have not had an alarm activated that I know about.

View 6 RepliesPrius C :: Empty Space In Front Of Rear Wheels?
Just wondering... should there be any plastic pieces inside the wheel wells directly in front of the rear wheels? There is empty space on mine where it looks like leaves and whatnot could collect. I can get a picture if needed. I expected there to be a plastic cover of some sort. Then again, maybe it is on purpose so if stuff collects in there you will see it and clean it out.

The spot in front of the steering wheel is just a bare patch of dashboard. Why not put it to use? I can put my GPS or my phone there any time, attached with magnets.

I wanted to pass along the results of a brake issue I encountered in my 2010 Prius (15K miles) and report to interested Prius owners how the issue was resolved.
Problem: In the last second (or so) coming to a complete stop I noticed a few light clunk type sounds, like something was loose up front. I never experienced any degradation in the braking performance.
Prius 2016 (Gen 4) :: Trunk Space Area / 12v Outlets Touring Vs Non-Touring Models
I'm a rideshare driver who drives about 1000 miles/week. I currently have a Gen 2 which I love, but I'm looking to upgrade to a Gen 4 pretty soon.
-Does the Gen 4 have the same kind of under-trunk storage area in the hatch/cargo area? This is important for me on the Gen 2 because it allows me to carry equipment while having an empty hatch space for passengers luggage. Does it depend on if you have a spare tire or not?
-Real-world MPG in extended city driving with A/C on?
-Where are the 12v outlets? And extend one into the hatch area?
-Is there a notable difference in comfort for touring vs non touring models?
-Does the driver's seat with lumbar support make a significant difference in comfort?
Sonata I45 (YF - 2011+) :: AC Deep Groan / Growl Sounds
2011 Sonata GLS
Sometimes the AC will make a deep low vibrating sound like a groan or growl. It will go away after a minute. Or if I turn off the AC then turn it back on it stops making the noise.
Mostly it happens at idle or in gear but car is stopped. Or a very low road speed. Occasionally it will go away if engine speed is raised (driving faster or revving engine in PARK). What's going on? Any known issues or TSBs?

View 1 RepliesSonata I45 (YF - 2011+) :: Tapping Sounds From Passenger Side C Pillar
Developed a very annoying plastic creek/ tapping sounds from the passenger side C pillar. Almost sounds like it coming from between the c pillar and the rear window, but can't be sure. It's definitely trim related and not suspension. Also how difficult it would it be to remove the C pillar Plastic cover?
Lastly, how many have had success in getting rattles/ squeaks worked out after the 1 year adjustment warranty? I did mention that on a service visit when it showed up right before the warranty expired, but it was very warm that day and the rattle went away.
Sonata I45 (YF - 2011+) :: Torque Value Sounds Way High For Rear Links?
I am replacing the rear stabilizer bar and also decided to go with new links being i am upgrading. My concern is the torque value in the hyundai service manual. It shows 72.3 ~ 86.8 lb-ft for the part of the link that mounts to the control arm? below is the link so you can see the part. This just sounds way too high to me... I know this is what hyundai says and also on the Moog instructions it states 78 ft-lbs!
Federal-Mogul eCatalog Resource Center
Tightening torque : 98.1 ~ 117.7 N.m (10.0 ~ 12.0 kgf.m, 72.3 ~ 86.8 lb-ft)

Sonata I45 (YF - 2011+) :: Sounds (Almost Musical) Coming From Dashboard Area Of Car
My wife has been complaining of sounds that are almost musical in nature coming from the dashboard area of the car. She said the sounds occur periodically and are a Duh-Duh-Duh type of sound that is almost musical. She says she can't tell exactly where the sound is coming from. It is almost like some kind if warning sound and just last occurred as she pulling into our driveway a few minutes ago. She said the MPG box in the center was pulsing in sequence with the sounds.
I have never had this happen to me to me. Taking this too a dealer would, most likely be futile, unless the problem could be replicated while at the dealer. She listens to Satellite Radio and I do not. Could this be of any consideration?

Just yesterday I bought a 2011 Prius II with 50k miles. I got a pretty good price, and the car is from a toyota dealership and is toyota certified.
I didn't notice when I was at the dealership, but when I was playing around with the car parked in my garage, I noticed the car gets quite noisy when then a/c comes on... Is this normal?????
Prius (2010-12) :: 2011 - Oil Is Leaking?
I have a 2011 Prius 3, just took in to get my tires rotated at 65k to an independent mechanic for the first time and he said they saw traces of oil but couldn't determine where it was coming from. They cleaned it up and want me to bring it back after driving it 150-200 miles to try to trace it.
My question is, is this typical for a 2011 Prius 3 with 65k? I had Toyota check everything when I bought the car at 61k and they didn't find anything wrong.
The mechanic did say it could be because of the cold something may have happened. Just want to make sure I'm not getting swindled here before trusting this mechanic.
