Last year on September 13, 2021 I purchase a used 2010 Toyota Prius ( Vehicle VIN[XXX]) with 122414 miles on the Odometer, I got my oil changed on October 29, 2021 so I can keep track of when my oil is due. My odometer reading on oil change was 123,268. I drove 2806 miles, when I woke up on December 08, 2021 with no oil in my engine. I thought that was very strange so after adding a quart of oil My husband got for me. I took the vehicle back to the shop ( Good Year Tire & Rubber Company 1585- A Island Lane Fleming Island, FL 32003) I originally had my oil changed at, to have them check if there was some sort of leak. The odometer reading at that day/ service was 126,074. After a full inspection of the engine exterior componence, no leak was to be found. Then I decided to do some research only to find out that back in 2016 Toyota had a lawsuit against them for having manufacturer defects in the productions of engine between the years of 2006 - 2011. The manufacturer defect was the engine piston would eventually start having oil leaks into the engine causing engine excessive oil consumption. That same day I took my vehicle to the nearest Toyota dealership ( Coggin Toyota At the Avenues 11340 Philips Hwy Jacksonville FL32256) for a engine oil consumption test to be serviced on my vehicle. This process takes place by filling oil to the full line marking it... confirming there is no leaks....sealing everything and I was to return after driving 1200 miles ( odometer reading at service was 126,094). upon returning the vehicle on December 30, 2021...My vehicle failed the engine oil consumption test because after driving 1221 miles my engine was low on oil by 1.5 quart. This kind of engine oil consumption not only causes my engine to deuterate in time, but also my vehicle diminishes in value. After it was established that my vehicle engine consumes oil / failed the engine oil consumption test. Toyota advised me to get a new engine that would cost me $6987.63 INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

Impending failure of the brake booster / brake booster pump assembly. ABS and brake warning lights remain on and a constant electrical whining sound can be heard from the brake booster assembly. Toyota is aware of the problem and offered a customer support program that expired in 2019 ( https://attachments.priuschat.com/attachment-files/2019/12/178663_162714_ZJB_Phase_2_.pdf )

PRIUS HAS LESS THAN 100K MILES AND HAS BEEN RUNNING PERFECTLY. TODAY WHILE DRIVING, THE BRAKE, ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS CAME ON SIMULTANEOUSLY AND BEGAN ALARMING, WHILE SUDDENLY MY BRAKE LOCKED UP. THIS COULD CAUSE ACCIDENT AND INJURY IF IT OCCURRED UNDER THE RIGHT CIRCUMSTANCES. APPARENTLY THERE WAS A PREVIOUS BRAKE BOOSTER RECALL THAT I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF AND WHICH HAS SINCE EXPIRED. THIS RECALL SHOULD BE REISSUED TO INCLUDE THE MANY 2010 PRIUSES AFFECTED BY THIS PROBLEM.

LOUD RATTLE, SHAKING IN MOTOR AREA. WAS FOUND TO BE A HEAD GASKET LEAK. USING A LOT OF ANTIFREEZE AND WHITE SMOKE OUT THE TAIL PIPE. WHILE IDLE OR IN MOTION AND WHILE GAS ENGINE IS RUNNING. STARTED INTERMITTENTLY AT FIRST AND VERY SHORT, EG. FOR A SECOND OR TWO, THEN GOT LOUDER, MORE OFTEN AND LASTED LONGER. THIS CAR HAS 230,000 MILES. THIS SAME ISSUE IS HAPPENING ON MY 2011 PRIUS WITH 128,000 MILES. I RESEARCHED THIS AND IT IS A COMMON PLACE WITH GEN 3 PRIUS CARS. I CAN NO LONGER DRIVE EITHER ONE OF MY PRIUS CARS SAFELY.

WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED AND GOING OVER A ROUGH ROAD SURFACE, OR POTHOLE, THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT APPEARS, AND THE BRAKES SUDDENLY STOP FUNCTIONING UNTIL BACK ON A SMOOTH ROAD SURFACE. THIS HAPPENS ALL OF THE TIME UNDER THESE CONDITIONS. IT IS REALLY SCARY WHEN THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOSES ALL BRAKING WHILE TRYING TO STOP. I HAVE A 2010 TOYOTA PRIUS AND A 2012 TOYOTA PRIUS. THEY BOTH HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE ABS BRAKING SYSTEM. CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHY THIS IS NOT A FULL RECALL ON THIS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS CONDITION.

ABS SYSTEM COMPLETELY FAILED WHILE DRIVING, NO ACCIDENT OCCURRED BUT DEFINITELY COULD HAVE. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DEALER AND I WAS TOLD THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE ABS SYSTEM ON THE VEHICLE BUT THEY DECLINED FIXING IT FREE OF CHARGE DUE TO MILEAGE, AND THEY GAVE ME A QUOTE OF $3000 TO FIX A PROBLEM THAT THEY HAVE NOT TAKEN RESPONSIBILITY FOR A KNOW ABOUT. TO MY UNDERSTANDING A RECALL IS A RECALL REGARDLESS TO MILEAGE AND I ALSO ASKED THE DEALER ABOUT THE PROBLEM 1 YEAR AGO AND WAS TOLD IT WAS NO PROBLEM.

EXCESS OIL CONSUMPTION, USED 2 QUARTS OF OIL BEFORE NEXT OIL CHANGE, TOYOTA'S DON'T CONSUME OIL THE WAY THIS CAR DOES , I'VE NEVER OWNED A CAR WITH THIS PROBLEM USING SO MUCH OIL. THE BURNT OIL IS GOING TO EVENTUALLY BUILD UP CAUSING MORE ISSUES IN THE COMBUSTION CHAMBERS AND SMOG DEVICES .
