Prius C :: Complete Shut Down While In Drive
So I've had my Prius C Two for about 2 months now. I was driving in a really crowded parking lot for so long that the battery drained and the car switched to gas mode from EV. We pulled up to the edge of the parking lot and had to wait a few minutes more. When I tried to proceed, the car had completely shut down (no power steering, A/C, etc.) The car was still in drive (had been the whole time) and we were rolling downhill. I had to stop completely, put it in park, and then turn the key again to restart it.

This morning, the driver's heated seat in my 2012 Lariat did not seem to operate properly. (It worked fine approx 14 hours earlier.) Note that my seats have both the heat and cool options.
I started the truck (its NOT garaged and the air temp was -5 F, which has been kinda typical lately) and turned on the driver's heated seat to high (level 3). I noticed that the seat's 'air noise' was more than normal (I've always noticed a more air noise with the 'cool' setting .........
No, I was not using 'cool' instead of 'heat' !) and that the seat never warmed up during the 10 minute drive. (Normally it would be noticeably warm in less than 5 minutes.) The 'air noise' seemed to cycle off/on toward the end of the drive. I did not have a passenger, so I did not have a chance to try that seat.
I've owned the truck about 2 years and had never run into this before.
Lexus GS 2006-11 :: Car Vibrate At A Complete Stop And In Drive
So, after I lower with BC Coil-over and 20" wheels (Stagger). I feel my car vibrate at a complete stop and in Drive. But when I put in neutral it stop the vibrate. When I take off from a complete stop is fine no vibrate but when I let go of the gas and let it cruise, it vibrate....
AWD GS, after lowering and with stagger wheels but it seem like the driving vibrate after after I put these wheels on. I didn't notice when i have my stock wheels on. or was it just me and 1SLOGS? I did balance all 4 tires again, I have all the hub-centric rings on all 4 wheels too.
Solara :: Complete Battery Drain When Don't Drive For A Week
I drive my solara pretty infrequently, but even so I am surprised by the way the battery drains to completely dead if I don't drive the thing for a week. 1 year old battery, presumably good per the folks at Schucks and its place in the price range, but if I don't actively drive the car - dead. It seems like there must be a bunch of electrical drain even when turned off, Also, when jumping (which is far too common an event) it doesn't work well unless I put the negative cord on the negative terminal instead of grounding it on the chassis like I typically do.

2011, 2.0T, with 58,000 miles, and everything's perfect, nothing but synthetic oil changes and premium fuel. But, Over the last month, I get a new vibration when I come to a complete stop, and stay in Drive. Once I shift to Neutral, it naturally goes away, and it shifts normally. I've never done anything to the Tranny.
The car has always been like this but this new vibration is bad, I can feel the pulsing in the brake pedal and you can hear it in the engine. What's making me take it to the Dealer is when my wife drove it, she said she noticed it, I said it must be bad.
Prius (2004-09) :: Normal For Engine To Cycle When Turn On?
Is it normal for the engine to turn on for about a minute when you first start it? Mine always does it, seems normal, but just wanted to check and also find out why. I assume it has to power a couple electrical things in the car?

I've got a 2004 Prius with about 140,000 miles. Overall, the car has worked great, and I've kept up with regular service.
Several months ago, I started having bad misfiring of the engine. When I got it into the shop, it turned out to be two faulty ignition coils. The shop advised me to replace them all, which I did. Soon afterwards, however, the CEL came on, indicating a P0420 - "Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold Bank 1".

View 4 RepliesPrius (2004-09) :: Triangle Show Up And Just Would Not Go Away
My 2006 has about 67,000 miles on it. The other day it began to behave in a very strange way. I had the triangle show up and it just would not go away. I checked all the fluids and they were good. I did notice that there was a new icon I had never seen before. It looked like it was an curved device with a thermometer attached. When I looked it up the suggestion was to go to Toyota right away. So I decided to drive over. As I drove I could hear the fan from the back seat coming on. It was going very fast, so I guessed that the traction battery was overheating. The car would barely drive, no power. Even when I floored it there was very little acceleration.
I got it to the dealer and they gave me a loaner because it the car was recalled due to the accelerator pedal. Later in the day I got a call saying that a couple of ECUs needed to be replaced. The next day I got a call saying the traction battery was bad and would be replaced under the long term warranty. They said I also needed an aux battery. I knew my battery was not charging up to better than 10 1/2 volts dc. They said it would cost $300 installed, so I said I would get back to them.

I've had my C a week and a half and it is doing great, but I wonder if the system is ok. It has never shown the battery at 100%. My Civic would charge all the way quite often.
View 19 RepliesPrius (2004-09) :: At Start Up CEL Came On - MPG Won't Show Intermittently?
Our Prius has a funny quirk, one that we can live with because it only does it occasionally, but is still quite annoying when it happens. Sometimes, when the car is started, it does not turn on the electronics correctly. Most of the stuff still works, like the radio, GPS, etc. But when it does this, the only light that shows on the console is the check engine light (which is on for some coolant sensor that we don't need to fix right now) is the only thing lit. Nothing else, including the gas gauge and odo and MPH gauge, lights up. On the Consumption screen, it also does not register miles driven, avg MPG, and does not track anything. The energy screen works fine, although it does not show current MPG, as if it doesn't really know the car's all the way on.
Only totally random stuff makes it stop, such as driving a short distance, turning the lights on, entering maintenance mode, or restarting it. (This problem usually prevents the car from shutting down, also, which can be quite annoying.) Fortunately this doesn't seem to affect the car negatively in any was other than not knowing how fast you're going. Dealer didn't pick anything out reading codes, and it doesn't do it all the time (although short starts, such as turning on to roll down windows, usually seem to cause it.)
Prius (2004-09) :: 2006 - Oil Does Not Show On Dipstick
I have a 2006 with 154,000 miles on it. I usually have my oil changed at Valvoline, but the last time the tech said there was no oil in my engine. He did drain oil out of it and filled with 3 1/2 quarts of oil. It did not show on the dipstick. This last change I did myself and used 3 1/2 quarts of oil, ran it around the block, waited about 5 minutes checked it and it still does not show on the dipstick.
Could I have gotten the wrong dipstick at some point? This one fits and seals good. I now do not want to run very long not knowing what my level is. Can measure the dipstick length? To compare with what I have.
Prius (Gen 2) :: 2009 - Gas Bars Show Zero But The Tank Is Full
We just got through changing out the 12 volt battery. Car is 2009 and had 60k miles but last summer was a killer hot summer in Texas. The care was doing strange things with the first start of the day with the triangle! coming on and then having to turn off the car and power back on to get it to go. So all posts seemed to indicate bad battery. We checked diagnostics and it was showing 9 volts. So now it is changed, diagnostics shows 12 volts but the gas indicator went to nothing. no bars. yesterday it was all bars. I supposed someone could have siphoned off all my gas last night but highly unlikely and too coincidental that it shows that after the battery change. Is there something we need to reset?
View 2 RepliesGen 3 Prius (Audio/Electronics) :: Album Art Won't Show Up - Galaxy S3
I drive a 2012 Prius Two without the GPS or e-tunes. I also use a Samsung Galaxy S3 on Jellybean.
So far I've been able to get the music information to display on the navigation unit (artist, album, song) but it just shows a little box where the album art will be (bluetooth or usb logo). The information also only displays if I use the "Play Music" app on my phone, other apps (Doubletwist, Fusion, Winamp) will play the song, but won't show the info. I most of all just want the album art to display though.
I borrowed a friend's iPhone 3GS and tested it with Bluetooth and USB. Bluetooth would play the song but would not show any album art, or song information.

I've been trying to trouble shoot this for quite some time now and I still can't figure out why the passenger airbag will show "off" and won't turn "on". This is on a 2006 Package 3. I read a properly functioning passenger airbag light would not indicate "off or on" unless someone is sitting on the passenger seat. Mine will show "off" regardless if there is a passenger or not?
I ran a diagnostic with the MiniVci and everything checked out, no error codes, the Airbag ECU is detecting everything as normal. I did a sensitivity check and the weights were within specs. I don't know where else to look.
Prius (Gen 3) :: Sudden Power Loss - Battery Didn't Show Very Low
Was sitting in my car on my lunch break playing the radio and had my seat heater on, and all of a sudden my radio kinda went staticy and died and my car completely died. Had to power it back down then back up to get it running, battery didn't show very low, but when I went into start mode (non accessory) it immediatly started the ICE and charged.
View 19 RepliesPrius C :: Can Radio Screen Show Text For Track Playing?
I have the C2 with the standard CD player/radio/Bluetooth streaming, and I'm curious about the display of track information. When I plug my iPod in via USB, the radio screen is able to display track information, as expected.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 and have been able to stream from Spotify over bluetooth, but it will not display the track information. Is there a way to have the radio screen show text for the track currently playing in Spotify?
If not, are there any streaming Android apps that can display track information?
