“After parked for 20 minutes, the car is dead, had to jump start. Battery was replaced by the dealer, but the issue was not taking care of. At least 3 more times since the battery replacement, I found my car was again ded after parking, can not even open the door with remote. But all 3 times the car was able to power on after a few minutes on it's own while waiting for tow... Above that, the clock, trip odometer and temp settings were resetting on random times since 650 miles, as well as the radio which will turn on and off at random. Dealer replaced the radio but it still does the same. …”

NHTSA complaint #11337553, filed 2020-07, 90,000 miles“Toyota issued safety recalls e0e and f0r for the failure of the hybrid inverter. If the inverter had not failed yet, the Toyota's remedy is a 'software re-flash'. The software reflash 'remedy' is not sufficient. There have been an excessive number of inverter failures after the software re-flash 'remedy' for these recalls has been completed. This is very dangerous to drivers, as it leads to unintended deceleration ' the prius spontaneously entering 'limp-home mode' or even a 'hybrid system shut down'. This is dangerous as in results in drastic reductions, if not the complete loss, of power. …”
