Prius V :: Engine Won't Recognize Drive / Cruise Control - Accelerates The Vehicle On Its Own
I have a 2012 Prius v. It has intermittent, minor to serious problems that have not been detected by the computer. These include, when engine is READY, it won't recognize Drive. When in Drive is moves in Reverse, has locked keys in the car and does not always recognize key. The Cruise Control sometimes accelerates the vehicle on its own.
The Braking option doesn't always work properly. When touching the brakes the lights turn off. Sometimes when turning the lights on or off, the radio turns off. A new problem is that the brakes almost fail to engage, then, at the last minute they do. Toyota has sent a regional rep to take a test drive with computer diagnostics and found nothing. So, they won't do anything. These problems have occurred since I purchased the vehicle.
I have suggested that they trade cars with me while someone else drives it until they experience these events (actually the very first event was seen by a service person but that doesn't count, apparently); change computers; reprogram the computer. They won't do any of these things. It seems that if it doesn't show up on the computer when they are looking at it they won't do anything. There can be a long time between events and the events sometimes occur in clusters.
Santa FE SM (2001-06) :: 2003 V6 Doesn't Recognize D Selection
Recently our 2003 SF, 2.7 v6, has begun not recognizing the ''D'' selection. It seems to know you want ''R'' or n or P. It has given a P0705 code indicating a problem with the switch that governs this. Where is the switch located ? Is it available from local parts or would you go to a dealer to get one. Assuming I can get to it; do I need any special tools ? It ain't much fun if you cant drive it.

I have a 2008 ls460 and lately noticed an intermittent remote entry problem. I'll walk up to the car and it will not recognize my key fob, so the door will not open. I've tried all 4 doors and even have held the key fob in my hand while pulling on the door handle. I've replaced the battery and still have the problem. If I manually press the "unlock" button on the remote, the door will unlock. This only happens every so often.

Loving the car, but I'm having an issue trying to get an older iPod (like iPod 2) to connect to my car. It keeps saying it can't recognize/connect to it. The iPod just continues to charge (even though it was just completely charged). I'm plugging it in using the USB inside of the console.

Prius V :: Won't Recognize Smart Key After Filling Gas Tank
The last several times I've gone for gas, the car won't recognize the smart key after fill up, either in or out of the slot. It does not recognize either of my 2 smart keys. I have changed the batteries in both keys. I am able to lock/unlock doors, but not start the car. The red light on the dash indicates there is no key. Dealer cannot find the problem. Eventually the car does start after some time (5 to 20 minutes) and I have not been able to identify what changes to make it so.
View 8 RepliesPrius (2010-12) :: Car Computer No Longer Recognize The Hybrid System
I brought my 2012 Prius in on St. Patrick's Day for routine scheduled maintenance and was informed about the recall--I hadn't even known yet. I was told it would just take an additional 45 minutes for the software update--no big deal. Except that it was.
They said the computer that was hooked up to my car crashed during the update, and my car computer would no longer recognize the hybrid system. They had no explanation for the crash and said their computer had a full battery, etc. so it didn't make sense, but they would call Toyota to find out way to do and in the meanwhile I would have a rental.
It is April 7 and I still have the rental. They said the part needed, a new computer, is on backorder. They hope it will be in by the end of April but there are no guarantees.
Golf/GTI VI :: Vehicle Doesn't Want To Go From 1st Into Reverse
I've got a transmission question on my 2010 2.5 with the 5 speed manual.
First off, let's set the scene. I pull into a spot, pull up the ebrake and usually put the transmission in 1st or just leave it in second. Then I come back to my car several hours later, after it has cooled off, and I'd like to back out of the spot.
Now sometimes, after the car is cool, it doesn't want to go from 1st into reverse. There is some resistance and when I push slightly, I hear a quick clunk/grinding noise.
However, reverse engages just fine when the car is warm, no hesitation at all. I'm not sure what to think of it. One theory is that when the car sits the clutch loses hydraulic pressure and does not fully disengage once starting the car. Another is inadequate lubrication on the syncros when the tranny is cold.
I'm being very OCD about this, I'm use to driving early 90's Saabs with close to 200k so this wasn't expected with a new car. Perhaps I should double clutch. Shift to neutral, let out clutch and then push in and try reverse. Or just leave it in reverse when I exit. It's happened about 6-7 times in my first 2k miles.
I'm sure if I mentioned it to the dealer they wouldn't be able to replicate it and say I'm a PITA. And yes, the clutch it all the way to the floor and I do know how to drive stick.

I took the T-REG to a dealer today because I noticed the drivers door (more precisely the bottom corner towards the rear) doesn't close well, and the vehicle itself pulls to the right. I got a call back from the service manager stating that the door is actually bent!!! He states that the reason the vehicle pulls might be due to the bend as well!!! He advised me to call the dealer I actually bought it from and bring this up with them!!! I bought it with 103 miles it now has 203 (the extra miles are actually to just bring it to my house and drive it to the dealership)What should I do!!! Is the door actually repairable; the service manager states it is impossible to fix it because how it is made and installed!!

View 4 RepliesNissan - Pathfinder :: 2004 - Loss Of Power When Step On Gas And Vehicle Doesn't Accelerate Accordingly
'04 Nissan Pathfinder 3.5L ~150k: P0011 and P0021
Friend's vehicle. OBD-II codes indicate Intake Valve Timing Control Bank1 and Bank2. Vehicle drives OK most of the time, but then has lapses of lost power where you step on the gas and the vehicle doesn't accelerate accordingly. RPMs rise, but tranny doesn't seem to shift at the right time. Overdrive button OFF doesn't seem to have any affect. Codes have been erased and returned the next day.
Is this Camshaft-related, as in Camshaft Position sensor? I had this issue with my '97 Taurus, but in that case it threw the code explicitly for the CMP sensor.
Ford - E150 :: While Accelerating Slowly Vehicle Doesn't Move For Several Seconds Until Transmission Catches
I bought a used 89' Ford e150. Automatic transmission, 194k mi. I fixed it up a bit and it is very much drivable. I just took it up to northern az and then back down. I had to have it towed recently and now my transmission is acting up. When I want to move it i put it into gear, either reverse or drive, now while accelerating slowly the vehicle doesn't move for several seconds until the transmission catches and it then starts to move. It does this now while driving and having to stop for lights and signs. It has a delay until the transmission catches. I wonder if the vehicle is dragged up on to a flatbed tow truck this can damage my transmission or driveshaft And cause this. What can I do to fix it
