2014 Toyota Prius V Engine Problems

“I am the first owner of this vehicle it has about 110k miles recently the started to shake when I start it in the morning or when parked for a while it started to show the check engine light some time it goes away on its own so I figured I will do 100k service changed the spark plugs oil filter etc. …”

“The head gasket in the engine failed at 120000 miles and when starting the car in the morning the whole car shook and shuddered. The same problem happened to my friends car a 2015 model at 70000 miles so I think this is a faulty gasket Toyota has used in all its Prius V model cars from 2013 to 2016 years therefore there should be a recall of these cars which Toyota should fix without charge. I spent $3985 to fix the problem.”

Later,the car was shaking badly at 15-20 MPH speed. …”

“Unknown. I was basically driving on the freeway, when my car's engine suddenly stopped running. The car was automatically put into neutral and was not able to control the speed of the car, so I had to move to the side of the freeway. As I was sitting in the car, I started smelling burned wire and interior started to fill with smoke. I immediately turned the car off and got oit. As I was standing far away from the vehicle, fluid started leaking and it had caught into fire. The front bumper was completely burned off, as well as some of the engine and electrical parts were affected as well.”
