Incident: On Sept 12, 2026, my 2024 Toyota Prius Prime continued moving forward after I pressed the Park button, causing a collision with my condo garage wall. This was unintended vehicle movement after Park engagement. The vehicle uses a push‑button, shift‑by‑wire Park system, so any electronic malfunction can affect its ability to remain stationary. Recent recall work: Two days before the incident (Sept 10, 2026), Toyota performed recall work on the vehicle. Because the Prius Prime relies heavily on electronic control modules, this timing may be relevant to the malfunction. Same day: The vehicle displayed “No Key Detected” even though the key fob was inside. This may indicate intermittent …

This is a 2024 Toyota Prius prime lease in February 2024. I went to our trusted local car shop for our annual inspection, and was told that we need to replace all four tires and we’re just passed 24,000 miles on our odometer. We are two seniors living in New York State and we only drive on paved roads. We believe this is a failure both of Toyota and Toyota for choosing these tires on this particular model. We were told we need to spend over $1000 to replace tires on a car we do not own. Toyota pointed us in the direction of Toyo, and Toyo pointed us in the direction of Toyota. This is unacceptable and we do not want to pay $1000 for tires that should not be worn out after 24,000 miles with …

Since Nov 23, 2024 I have had three occasions where the 12 volt battery for the ICE has depleted leaving me stranded. The only indication of the problem is the car will not start. In my last incident I had to charge the battery (disconnected from the car) but inadvertently closed the hatch. Since the car uses electronic locks the only way to open the hatch is to use the emergency release that is located under the rear deck and must use a screw driver to release. This is inherently dangerous since no practical escape possible in an emergency.
