Prius (2010-12) Fuel :: Display Consumption Bars Too High?
Just bought a 2012 Prius Three last Friday. The MFD (upper display) shows an average of about 53 mpg so far, and the corresponding 1 & 5 min bars seem to make sense (we have an 07 TCH so we're reasonably familiar).
But the Display Audio unit (6.1 inch) Car>Consumption graph seems to show 100mpg most of the time/most bars. That can't be right and it looks nothing like the MFD display. What am I missing?
Prius (Gen 2) :: Steady Energy Consumption Screen Showing Up
Recently we've been seeing a steady Energy Consumption screen showing up on our monitor, even when we change the screen to another screen. It fluctuates between green, yellow, and red arrows pointing from the engine and around the screen. The red lines do not show up other than during acceleration. There is no other notice of any possible problem on the dashboard readout.
View 10 RepliesPrius (2004-09) :: Mileage Count Since Last Refill On Consumption Screen?
I have a 2009 Prius (purchased in March of '09) - working just fine - 58.6 mpg.
Each time that I have gone to purchase gas, I have not pushed the reset button on the Consumption screen as I have wanted to keep a running average for mpg. However, the miles driven count since the last refill automatically goes back to 0 (again on the Consumption Screen) and then starts a new count. This is useful as I know how many miles I have driven since the last refill. Today, however, I purchased fuel and the count did not revert to 0. Has a sensor been damaged? Is there anything I can or should do? I know I could press the Reset button but that would be a last resort.
Prius (Gen 3) :: Parked With 6 Bars But Power Up With 2 Bars
Had a Gen 2 years ago, first time with a Gen 3. Specs: 2011 Prius Two, not II, CPO'd with 83k miles. I've been experiencing this phenomenon for the past couple of days. I would park the car with 6 or 7 bars, but after 8-10 hours of parking it would power up with only 2 bars, or it would power up with 4-5 bars and quickly go down to 2 cars before it charges back up to 6-7 bars. I called the dealer and the SA tells me it's normal. I know for a fact my Gen 2 didn't and my TCH didn't. So is this something I should be concerned about or is this normal for the Gen 3?

The CEL went on in my wife's 2006 Prius last night so she "stole" my '09 to go to work today and left me to deal with the issue. The car is behaving normally, it had a 90K check a few weeks ago and I put in a new Yellow top battery a week before that (got 8 years on the original 12V). FWIW, the snow tires do not have pressure monitors in them and the TPMS light usually goes on immediately but didn't go on last night, really weird.

My Azera has developed a misfire. Upon leaving work today it ran rough ass soon as I started it. CEL flashing.. I could feel it skipping as I was driving home. Skip never let up.
When I got home, I hooked up the Scanner to it. DTC P0300 was set. Which I think is random misfire. I checked underhood. Nothing appears amiss. With engine off I clear the code and restart the car, This time it set DTC P0301 cyl. #1. I think.
I do not have all the factory service manuals yet. so I need to know what the firing order is on the 2006 3.8 L VIN F Engine. And where the #1 cyl is located. I am suspecting a bad coil at the #1 Cylinder.
Elantra HD (2006-10) :: 2008 - Bad Gas Mileage And Skipping Gears
I have a 2008 Elantra with 50,000 miles. I know I was overdue on the tranny fluid change and the car was getting bad gas mileage and skipping gears. I brought it in and had the tranny flushed and refilled and now its running good. I thought it would be good to get a price on spark plugs because the book said replace at 60,000. I called the dealer and he basically told me he has not sold many of the plugs and they should last 100,000.
I seem to be getting conflicting info on what should and should not be done at the maintenance books written schedule. I looked for a price on Fuel Filter air filter which is in the maintenance to replace but again conflicting info stating that should not be changed unless there is a problem. Anyway, what should and should not be replaced at specified intervals? I know the tranny fluid change should have been done at 30,000 because it was very dirty and causing issues for me.
Lexus GS 2006-11 :: GS350 - Vibrations From 0 To 20 MPH Almost Like Skipping / Jumping Of Tires
I bought a gs 350 AWD about 3 weeks ago and I love it. But one thing I have been noticing is often but not every time from 0-20. I feel vibrations and almost like a skipping/jumping of the tires/car, its very soft. Is this normal?. I still have a dealer warranty of 30 days left. But its kind of far so I wanted to see what it was before I drove 2 hours to have them check it out. what this could be?
View 14 RepliesSonata NF (2006-10) :: Gear Skipping When Slowing Down To A Stop And Speed Gets Around 10 Mph Or So
I have a 2010 Hyundai Sonata GLS that I purchased just over two years go. I have a couple of issues with it at the moment.
My first problem is I clipped my drivers side side-view mirror and a little plastic piece inside the side-view mirrror housing where the bolts go thru broke off. I checked with Hyundai and it seems like you can't purchase that plastic piece from them(they make you purchase the whole side view mirror). I also checked around at local junkyards but none of them had a 2010. What I can do here?
My second problem is when I'm slowing down to a stop and my speed gets around 10 mph or so the car jumps/jerks. It feels like it's almost skipping a gear or something and it's very noticeable. I was wondering if any of y'all have had that problem before and if so what did you do?
Lexus GS 2006-11 :: Oil Consumption Is Too Much
My 06 lexus gs 300 has about 155000 miles on it and still running strong. Its been very reliable but my concern is has anyone ever had their GS use a lot of oil? It seems like my GS is using a lot of oil. I checked under the hood and car and there are no leaks at all. Also I use 5w 30 penzoil and i change my oil every 3000 miles. Also are brakes easy to change on this car?
View 14 RepliesFord F-150 (2004-2008) :: 2006 - Started Skipping Or Pulsate When Accelerating?
I have a 2006 f150 5.4l, and I have developed a problem. It seems the my truck has started to skip, or "pulsate" when I am accelerating. If I really get on the gas the "pulsate" goes away. This only seems to happen around 45-50 mph. Now this is where it gets weird. I have no check engine light on, and I have checked to make sure my light is working. I brought it to a garage and they told me something about Fords having a misfire issue that sometimes doesn't trigger a check engine light. . . . . now idk about that because every misfire I have seen triggers a check engine light, but I had them replace the spark plugs anyways. And it didn't fix my problem. At this point the only thing I can think of is possibly tranny.
View 11 RepliesPrius (Gen 2) :: Red Warning, VSC / All Coloured Bars Goes Min To Max
I had the red warning, VSC and brake light up on the display. I suspected a bad battery. Bought a Bosch S4, fitted it, all good for about 4 miles, then the warnings came back.
I wondered if the new battery was fully charged so I removed it and charged it. Re-fitted and same thing happened, good for about 4 miles then warnings came back.
The battery fan is on constantly,
The car feels sluggish - loss of power,
The MFD shows the battery bars going from one purple up to all green in a couple of minutes and moving up and down erratically, through all the coloured bars, min to max.
Prius (Gen 3) :: Hybrid Battery Sometimes Goes Down To Two Bars?
I'm a new Prius owner and don't know if this is normal. Sometimes after being parked for a while and restarted, the icon shows the battery is down to 2 bars. It charges back up after a mile or so of driving. Also if I sit and idle for a while, the battery will drop down, and once going thru a car wash (car in Neutral), a message came on the screen that the Tractor Battery was in trouble (I don't remember the exact words). When I put the car in gear and drove off, the message disappeared and the battery charged up. What's the deal?
