2008 Toyota Prius fuel system problems

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

About 3 years ago we started getting the red triangle of death with 2 amber lights on display the vsc and the round circle with the exclamation point in the center. This could happen in 500 miles or it could happen tomorrow. When this happens I loose all exceleration and air conditioning and a orange car emblem with an exclamation point in it on the display screen. Once safely off road press power button off and back on and everything is back to normal except red triangle and car on display screen car is then drivable again. Using a code reader to check codes no codes appear but still have red triangle. Leaving car set for a period of time and restarting car and red triangle is extinguished. Have to drive in right lane on freeway in case it wants to quit. The most recent time was last week had driven it about 80 miles with a stop about halfway for 1 hour and stopped for a movie came back got in car started it and within 1000 feet got the red triangle, was in left turning lane with red light, shut off and restarted and was able to drive again as in all other times, took it to a neighbor who had a code reader(about 9PM) and no codes found, he reset it and red triangle extinguished. This type of happening is very unnerving to say the least, dont know when or where it will lay down with us. Don't know if anyone else has had similar issues with their Prius ours has 213,000+ miles on it. Original hybrid battery it was checked in 2015 and some cells replaced by a shop certified to replace cells in this battery. Thank you.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

The catalytic converter was stolen off of the car and yes it is available for inspection upon request. I’m not sure of the safety risk, we drove the car one time and the engine light came on. The problem has not been reported to a dealer or independent service center. Once the incident happened one of our neighbors called the police and they came but they didn’t know which apartment we were in and out neighbor told us that it was our catalytic converter and the police waited for a few minutes and then they left. Our neighbor told us when they heard our car starting.

HYBRID PROPULSION SYSTEM

The contact owns a 2008 Toyota Prius. The contact stated that she was unable to start the vehicle. The contact stated that several unknown warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was not drivable. The contact towed the vehicle to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed with needing the hybrid battery to be replaced due to faulty strips causing leaks. The vehicle was not repaired but was pending repairs. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 185,000.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

I cannot add gas more than 3 to 4 gallons in the gas tank when it is almost empty. Gas meter says full after 3 to 4 gallons in the tank. While driving, it can run out of gas at any time because meter is not correct While adding gas at the gas pump, it spills the gas back out of the fill pipe of the car. So spilled fuel can catch fire if it touches the hot surface. Its fuel vapor management system is dangerous and defective which could result in fire and it could make the gas to fall on person legs and feet. Its gas tank has rubber bladder that has shrink making the meter totally wrong. If you search on the internet tons of people has the same problem. There is no way to tell how much gas is in the tank, while the meter could say full.

There seems to be a problem with the float in the gas tank. Once car gets down to empty, the fuel tank will only allow you to pump in 5 to 6 gallons of gas into the tank. We searched online and apparently a lot of people are having this issue but may not have reported it to NHTSA. Thanks

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

THE CRYPTOCURRENCY INDUSTRY HAS SPAWNED A FRENZY OF HYBRID BATTERY ENERGY THEFT. MY COMBINATION METER SPIKES AND REDUCES DOWN A DEFICIT IN FUEL, INSIGHT OF OTHER VEHICLES DRIVING CLOSE ENOUGH TO EXTRACT POWER FROM THE REAR BATTERY CELLS. EVERY TIME I RE-FUEL THE COMBINATION METER RE-CALIBRATES FHE FUEL AND ELECTRIC LEVEL. I LOSE 5 TO 20 PERCENT OF THAT LEVEL ONCE IT HAS CALIBRATES, EVERY TIME.

FUEL CELL (RIGID GAS TANK HAS A BLADDER INSIDE). TOYOTA PUBLISHED TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN IN 2008, CONCERNING THE FAILURE OF GAS TANK. THE INNER BLADDER CAN DEFORM. THE 10 GALLON TANK NO LONGER ACCEPTS TOTAL VOLUME OF GAS. 05/2019, AND MY 08 PRIUS ACCEPTS ONLY 3.8 GALLONS OF GAS AT A FULL FILL-UP. GAUGE QUICKLY ADVANCES FROM FULL MARK TO SIX CELLS, THEN 3 AND AT 182 MILES BETWEEN FULL, THE WARNING EMPTY LAMP ENGAGES. TOYOTA AWARE OF THIS DEFECT OF GENERATION 2 (04-09 MODEL YEARS). TO SUCH EXTENT, THE COLLAPSIBLE BLADDER INSIDE THE TANK WAS ABANDONED FOR GENERATION 3 MODELS. THIS SOLID PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. GAS TANK DEFORMS.

THE FUEL GAUGE AND FUEL SENSOR DOESN'T WORK IN THE 2008 PRIUS TOURING THAT I JUST PURCHASED ON JULY 09, 2019. THE DEALERSHIP THAT I PURCHASED IT FROM DID NOT INFORM ME OF THIS ISSUE AT ALL. NOW I SEE THAT THIS EXACT ISSUE IS HAPPENING TO A LOT OF THESE PARTICULAR YEAR MODELS. THE RESET FOR THE FAULTY READINGS DOESN'T WORK EITHER... PLEASE DO A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE!!! I AM ON DISABILITY AND CAN NOT AFFORD TO PAY FOR THIS DEFECT!!! I'M AFRAID TO GO MORE THAN A FEW BLOCKS IN THIS CAR FOR FEAR OF RUNNING OUT OF GAS... I HAVE NO CLUE HOW MUCH GAS IS IN THIS THING AS IT SPITS A LOT OF WHAT I PUT IN, BACK OUT WHEN IT SUDDENLY OVERFLOWS GAS ALL OVER ME. ARE THERE OTHER OPTIONS AVAILABLE TO HELP US OWNERS???

THIS IS A RIDICULOUSLY DANGEROUS CAR. THE PUSH BUTTON SYSTEM FOR STARTING IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS FOR KIDS. MY WIFE LOADS MY THREE YEAR OLD IN THE PRIUS WITH HER KEYS IN HER BAG.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

AFTER STARTING THE CAR I PUT THE CAR INTO DRIVE AND THE TRANSMISSION POPS RIGHT INTO NEURAL AFTER MOVING FORWARD SLIGHTLY. I ATTEMPTED THIS SEVERAL TIMES. I WAS ABLE TO USE THE CAR BY HOLDING THE SHIFTING LEVER MANUALLY IN THE DRIVE POSITION. AFTER I DRIVE THE CAR THAT WAY FOR 10 OR 15 MIN. IT WORKS AS INTENDED. THIS HAPPENS ABOUT EVERY COUPLE MONTHS. THIS HAPPENS RIGHT AFTER STARTING CAR WHEN THE CAR IS WANTED UP OR COLD.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE

THE FUEL GAUGE FOR MY 2008 TOYOTO PRIUS RECENTLY BECAME INACCURATE AND IT WAS DETERMINED DEFECTIVE ACCORDING TO THE TOYOTO DEALERSHIP, WHICH REQUIRED ME TO SPEND $1,115 TO HAVE IT AND ITS GAS TANK REPLACED. I WROTE TOYOTO ON JUNE 24, 2017 ASKING THAT THEY REIMBURSE ME FOR THE DEFECT. WHEN THEY FAILED TO RESPOND I CALLED TOYOTO CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE CENTER, WHO TOLD ME THAT THEY WOULD NOT REIMBURSE ME BECAUSE THE DEFECT WAS "OUT OF WARRANTY" AND THERE HAD BEEN "NO RECALLS." PLEASE INVESTIGATE AND ORDER TOYOTO TO CONDUCT A RECALL AND REIMBURSE ITS OWNERS. INACCURATE DEFECTIVE PRIUS FUEL GAUGES APPEARS TO BE A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM, WITH REPAIRPAL.COM REPORTING 119 COMPLAINTS. AND IN THE PAST THE NHTSA HAS DETERMINED THAT INACCURATE FUEL GAUGES IS A SAFETY ISSUE SINCE "IT MAY RESULT IN THE VEHICLE UNEXPECTEDLY RUNNING OUT OF FUEL AND STALLING, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH."

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

WHEN VEHICLE IS TURNED ON, INSTRUMENT CLUSTER ALSO KNOWN AS THE COMBINATION METER, FAIL TO TURN ON. THIS ISSUE IS VERY CONCERNING DUE TO THE OVERALL COMPUTER CONTROLLED FUNCTIONS OF THIS VEHICLE. THE SPEEDOMETER, TRIP METER, ODOMETER AND OTHER FUNCTIONS ARE NOT FUNCTIONING DUE TO THE FAILURE OF THE COMBINATION METER. FUNCTIONS THAT ARE CONSIDERED SAFETY ITEMS SUCH AS THE POWER BRAKES, POWER STEERING, ANTI LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM, SPEEDOMETER, LIGHTS, ETC. THERE IS AN ISSUED WARRANTY COVERING THE ISSUE UP TO A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TIME HOWEVER SINCE IT IS NOT A WEAR AND TEAR ITEM IT SHOULD BE COVERED BY THE MANUFACTURER REGARDLESS. AFTER VEHICLE IS EVENTUALLY IGNITED, COMBINATION METER DOES NOT ILLUMINATE AND WHEN ATTEMPTING TO TURN OFF THE VEHICLE, IT FAILS TO DO SO WHICH ALSO INCLUDES NOT BEING ABLE TO REMOVE THE KEY. I WAS ADVISED BY A TOYOTA MECHANIC TO ACCESS THE SAFETY OVERRIDE BY HOLDING THE POWER BUTTON HOWEVER THAT PROCEDURE DOES NOT WORK ALL OF THE TIME. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS ISSUE DUE TO MY SAFETY AND DRIVERS AROUND ME AND THEIR SAFETY AND HOPEFULLY THIS ISSUE CAN BE AVOIDED BEFORE A POSSIBLE A CATASTROPHIC ACCIDENT HAPPENS.

WHILE IN THE LINE FOR A CAR WASH, I RELEASED THE BRAKE TO MOVE FORWARD. UPON APPLYING THE BRAKE TO STOP, THE PRIUS ACCELERATED CAUSING ME TO SLAM ON THE BRAKE. MY WIFE EXPERIENCED A SIMILAR INCIDENT WITH THE SAME PRIUS SEVERAL MONTHS LATER WHILE IN A PARKING LOT. SHE APPLIED THE BRAKE AT A VERY SLOW SPEED AND THE CAR ACCELERATED FORWARD CAUSING HER TO ALSO SLAM ON THE BRAKES.

I WAS DRIVING MY 2008 PRIUS ON HIGHWAY AND WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. IN 2 MINUTES ALL POWER GONE AND I HAVE HAD TO TOWED TO THE DEALER.

2008 PRIUS HEADLAMPS INTERMITTENT HID PROBLEM. THIS IS A KNOWN AND COMMON PROBLEM WITH TOYOTA PRIUS 2004-2009. NO RECALL FOR IT THAT I AM AWARE OF, HOWEVER THEY LIGHT WILL GO OUT RANDOMLY. THE COST OF REPAIR CAN BEEN EXTREME. TOYOTA WAS SUED FOR THIS, BUT DID NOT MAKE AN OFFICIAL RECALL (HTTP://WWW.GIRARDGIBBS.COM/TOYOTA-PRIUS/). WHEN DRIVING MY LIGHTS WILL GO OUT FOR NO REASON. TURN THE SWITCH OFF AND BACK ON WILL SOMETIMES CORRECT THE ISSUE, BUT OTHERS TIMES I HAVE TO WAIT A BIT AND RETRY. THIS IS A DANGER AND SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE READ WHERE REPAIRS CAN RUN FROM 300 - 1100 PER SIDE TO REPAIR. IN ADDITION, THE REAR LIFT GATE LATCH RUBBER IS BECOMING VERY STICKY. I HAVE AGAIN READ NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS THAT IT EVENTUALLY MELTS AND AGAIN TOYOTA HAS NOT PUT A RECALL IN PLACE FOR THIS. LASTLY THE MPG IS HORRIBLE. IN THE CITY I GET 27 TO 36 RANDOMLY CHANGES, THERE IS NO STABILITY IN THE MPG. IT IS ALL OVER THE BOARD. I AM THE ONLY DRIVER. THIS VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED AT TUSTIN TOYOTA IN TUSTIN CALIFORNIA. THEY HAVE REFUSED ALL CALLS FROM ME. THEY HAVE NOT CALLED BACK AFTER 4 MESSAGES AND TWO INTERNET CHAT MESSAGES.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

MY CAR HAD HESITATION ISSUES SINCE SHORTLY AFTER I BOUGHT IT. IT WOULD BOG DOWN, AND ALMOST DIE IN TRAFFIC. I WOULD LOSE SPEED ON THE HWY/ROAD & NEARLY GET HIT. PREVIOUSLY, THE DEALER REPLACED THE GAS TANK BECAUSE ITS "BLADDER" WAS BAD @ 54,057 MILES ON 08/05/2011. THE FACTORY SPLIT THE COST ON THIS REPAIR (WHICH APPEARS TO OCCUR MORE THAN THEY ARE ADMITTING). THE PERFORMANCE IMPROVED FOR A LITTLE WHILE, BUT THERE HAS ALWAYS BEEN FUNNY NOISES COMING FROM MY VEHICLE AND THE CAR WOULD NOT POWER ON AT TIMES. OTHER TIMES, IT WOULD FREEZE OR POWER OFF. THE MAINTENANCE WARNING LIGHTS WOULD COME ON AND THEN TURN OFF. INFREQUENTLY, AIR WOULD COME THROUGH THE BACKSEAT VENTS LIKE IT IS SUPPOSED TO. FREQUENTLY, I WOULD SMELL UNUSUAL SMELLS AFTER STOPPING MY CAR. MY CAR ATE UP THE INSIDE OF A NEW SET OF TIRES VERY QUICKLY DESPITE BEING PROPERLY ALIGNED. THE HVAC BLOWER MOTOR WAS CUTTING ON AND OFF AT TIMES AND MAKING FUNNY NOISES. MANY TIMES WHEN IT WOULD CUT OFF, I COULD OPEN AND SLAM THE HOOD AND THE HVAC BLOWER MOTOR WOULD ENGAGE, AS IF THERE WAS AN ELECTRICAL SHORT IN IT. WHEN THE HVAC BLOWER MOTOR QUIT ALTOGETHER, I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER SAID THAT THE MOWER HAD GONE OUT. THERE WAS AN ACTUAL PROBLEM WITH THE HV ELECTRIC WATER PUMP AS WELL AS A FACTORY RECALL. INTERESTINGLY, THE DEALER DISCOVERED TAT THE ENGINE MOTOR WATER PUMP WAS ALSO LEAKING. WHAT A COINCIDENCE! NOW THAT ALL OF THESE COMPONENTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED, MY CAR APPEARS TO WORK NORMAL AGAIN LIKE IT HAS NOT WORKED SINCE I FIRST BOUGHT THE CAR.
