“I have Toyota Prius V 2015 but I was losing power and I took it mechanic several times and now it's seems like now it affected my engine or my gasket according to the mechanics.”

NHTSA complaint #11133623, filed 2018-10, 112,000 miles

“Prius v3 lunging backwards 1/21/2016 on thursday 1/21/2016, I was parked in a big lot and after my appointment, got in the car and turned it on. But rather than pull backwards out of the spot, I decided to first make a call using bluetooth. The call took about 10 minutes. I then hung up, released the emergency brake, and moved the stick shift into reverse with my foot, of course, on the regular brake. As I released that brake, the car lunged hard about 10 feet backward across the parking lot drive , into where other cars could have been parked but luckily weren't. …”
