Prius 2016 (Gen 4) :: Does The Rear Horizontal Trim Interfere With The Light Sensor?
First of all, the "Homelink mirror" is deleted. And for those with Homelink, does the rear horizontal trim still interfere with the light sensor? (If you have a '15 on back, you know what I mean. It casts a shadow that inhibits the performance of the mirror's light sensor as it reads the brightness of lights behind you and dims accordingly.)
It appears that the trunk well is gone. In my '13 it holds four bags of groceries perfectly, plus party and pot luck foods that might spill in transit.
Lexus LS 2007+ :: Rubber Floor Mats Worn Out
My driver's floor mats is worn out. Lex only makes floor mats for the 2010 and they are thin and ugly. If I thought a car manufacturer would discontinue floor mats in the same model run I would have bought 2 sets..

Ive been smelling a musty smell lately in my car (06 Avalon) and noticed that under my floormats the carpet was wet by all seats. I jacked up the car from the passenger side and just about behind the front wheel about 1/4 ways under the car ( about where the hump starts from the front passenger seat) there is a little rubber hose barely visible. I blasted it with a air compressor and water started pouring out of it (a cup full) this is the air conditioner condenser run off that somehow got clogged.

I first noticed the problem when my car started to smell funny. Then something fell on the floor in front of the passenger seat and when I picked it up, it was all wet. I had quite a puddle over there. I parked the car in the garage to get it dried out and I discovered that it was also wet under the driver's mat. My husband did some research online, and I guess there are about a million possible causes and they all have different solutions, so we are tempted to just trade it in. My husband decided to start with the sunroof.
He used an air compressor to blow through the drains. I thought that had worked until today. I've been parking my car outside in the rain for about a week, and the mats have not been wet, but last night I drove the car through a car wash and this morning the inside of the windshield was covered in condensation and the carpet was wet under the front floor mats. This morning I read that sometimes the air conditioning can be the problem. I had some trouble with the air conditioning the other day. It was really hot, but the air conditioner would only blow hot air, so I turned it off and rolled down the window, but the next day, when it wasn't quite so hot, the air conditioner seemed to work just fine.
Camry 2012+ :: 2014 - Rear Floor Mats Are Constantly Damp
I am having an issue with my '14 Camry Se. The rear floor mats are constantly damp. Front mats are dry. There is a ton of condensation that builds up on the windows everyday. I do not believe the ac drain tube is clogged.

Always got winter mats because older car floors used to rust and most people around me get them.
If I don't:
Will the floor rust within 10 years? After that the outside will be rusted anyway
I don't care about dirty carpets; is this the only reason?
Ford Super Duty (1999-2016) :: Heavy Duty Rubber Floor Mats With Transfer Case
New floor mats. My truck is going to be 10yr old and has the original King Ranch floor mats. I want some heavy duty rubber ones that will fit around my manual transfer case lever. I ordered the Weathertech digital fit liners and I am not happy with them so they are headed back tomorrow. They have a heavy duty all weather mat but not sure how it will work with my shift lever on the floor. Husky liners/mats look nice and heavy duty but won't accommodate the floor lever.

When I go to start and depress the brake pedal it goes all the way to the floor. The brake fluid is at the full mark and my 2011 has only 25k miles. Where should I look since it did not go all the way to the floor when I forst got it with 6K miles.
View 19 RepliesPrius C :: Pedal Went All The Way To The Floor On Sudden Brake
2013 Prius c Two, bought brand new with 15 miles on it 5 weeks ago. A few times when driving, I noticed the brakes seemed weak, like they weren't stopping the car very well even at low speeds (My driving is mostly in town on residential streets, so I'm rarely going over 35 MPH. Even so, I'd have to really mash the pedal all the way to the floor to get the car to come to a complete stop, otherwise it would keep moving forward. Several times I ended up about 5-10 feet past the line, sticking the front bumper into cross traffic. Luckily no one hit me. I chalked it up to the quirks of a different car than the one I was used to, and figured if it kept happening I'd take it to the dealership.
On Monday, my wife was stopped at a red light. The light turned green and the car in front of her started to move forward. After a few hundred feet, he suddenly slammed on his brakes. She said her brake pedal went all the way to the floor, and the Prius didn't slow down at all. She hit him going about 25-30 MPH and totaled the Prius. She's an excellent driver and I've been with her before when she's had to panic-stop. She's never driven a car without ABS, so she is used to pushing the pedal hard and keeping her foot on it. She wouldn't even know how to "pump" the pedal. She swears the pedal just went all the way to the floor and the car didn't slow down at all.
Prius C :: Engine Revving Up More When Releasing Gas Pedal
I noticed that when I'm stepping on the gas pedal, revving up, when I release the gas pedal I can hear the engine revving up some more instead of slowing down.
When I release the pedal even if the revolution light on the dashboard shows that it is slowly dropping, the engine is still making the noise as if I am stepping on the gas harder for about a second.
Example: I am at a stop, when I start going from 0 to 30 mph, if I release the gas right away that's when I notice this issue.
This doesnt happen when I'm cruising on the same speed and suddenly release the gas.
I wonder if this is an indication the my tranny is having a problem.
I have a 2013 prius C 2...
Prius (Gen 3) :: Chirping Noise When Brake Pedal Pressed
I was wondering if this problem is the "Barking" noise that keeps coming up the search or is it another problem. I will include a link to the video down below.
To start off, the Prius is 2010 Prius II and has 120k miles on it. Great Car. Only other problem was AC compressor dying at 90k.
The chirping noise happens when the brake pedal is pressed and does not go away until the release the pedal. It makes the noise regardless of whether the car is on or off.
It makes the noise when the car is stopped and or when the mechanical brake engage at between 0 and 6 mph.
Noise does not occur when the brake switch is removed. Not valid solution since the brake lights will stay on. It does not affect the performance of braking.
Here is the link to the video .... .... ....
Prius (Gen 3) :: ASC / TRAC Light Flashes When Pedal Is Depressed
I just changed the rear rotors and pads on a 2010. Mileage is 145,000, owned since new. It seems the ASC/TRAC light now flashes when pedal is depressed (put car in drive in garage - depress pedal - one beep and light flashes). I had trouble with one of the the caliper pistions, and screwed it all the way out and lost 1/2 teaspoon of brake fluid, so I may have introduced air into the line. Would this cause this? Is there anything unusual about bleeding brakes (as compared to non-regenerative braking cars)?
View 1 RepliesPrius (Gen 2) :: No Resistance In The Pedal - Brake Turned To Back Out
I was waiting for my son to come out of his work for an hour with the car on. I got distracted reading and messing around on my phone, and since the heater and lights were off, I had no incentive to turn the car off since it was perfectly quiet (the gas motor only kicked on once to keep the battery charged). Then, I can't remember if I turned the car off or left it on while I took a nap for an hour (he was a total of two hours late getting out of work).
At any rate, when he finally came out, I don't remember if I needed to turn the car on, but I do remember that as I pushed the brake down, put it in reverse, and began to back out, I was moving kind of fast and pushing the brake down didn't slow my motion at all. Also, it felt like there was not much resistance in the pedal. I stood on the brake and there was a noise and a jolt as I came to a stop. I really thought I had stopped because I hit something, that's how violent the stop was. But my son walked around the car and found I had not. No dash warning lights came on. I pushed the park button, powered the car off and on, then put it in drive and coasted forward / carefully tested the brakes. All was good.
I put it in reverse and used the brakes without anything seeming out of the ordinary. Then we drove 16 miles home with no issues. Until this incident I have never had a single brake-related issue apart from grabby brakes when it is raining.
This is what I have learned:
When I stood on the brakes, that is the only time the hydraulic system was in play.
Rusty brake components are pretty grabby.
Actuators are expensive and no service center wants to replace them at 92K miles.
Prius V :: Brake Pedal Stuck When Backing Up In Reverse
My wife was driving the v this morning. While she was backing up in reverse from a parking space slowly , she felt that the brake pedal is stuck (very firm) while controlling the speed. The car then stops. She then switched to D to roll foward a bit and the brake was back to normal. Reverse again and it was fine too.
View 4 RepliesPrius (2010-12) :: No Vacuum Sound In Brake Pedal
ABS, Traction, Brake (red & yellow) bulbs in.
ABS not working
Reduced brake efficiency
Heated brake disks
Regeneration charge indication doesn't go to left side much. But slightly charges battery.
ABS fuses ok in engine room
No vacuum sound in brake pedal
But faster brake actuator sound (every 5sec stop 2sec sound) on stopped ready mode in P. Engine not running.
Bit history;
I had brake light fuse blown. But not knowing was pressing brake pedal hard to start / goto ready mode as display said. So after replacing fuse, had the traction bulb on. After it was reset. Everything was fine. Apart from increased vacuum sound in brake pedal.

Today I faced another problem i just try to start my car but, due the dead 12v battery it didn't start so i pressed the BRAKE PEDAL until it reach the bottom, again i tried to press but its not going to the bottom why was that, is it due to dead battery? And last time i called an automobile expertise to jump start my car. They check the voltage with a digital multi-meter and he said me if you jump start even you will get this problem again until u replace the new battery. but i said him it doesn't matter do a jump start and finally it was ok . Now again I faced the same problem and this time i am going to change the battery.
