Intermittent problem. When shifting from R to D, it does not engage in D, and slips back to R. Beeping sound lets me know I am not in R, so I do not apply gas. They could not duplicate the problem, or find any codes. Nothing done. Continued intermittent problem with the transmission not engaging when shifting from R to D. Goes back to R. Sometimes takes 3 tries before D engages. Could not duplicate the problem. Kept the car overnight. No codes. Decided it must be a driver problem. Have owned previous Toyota hybrids (Camry and Prius) with no such problem. Have to wait until the problem can be duplicated.

My car started having a hard vibration as I drove to work. Acceleration made it worse. Drove the short distance to work, and then had it towed to a local Toyota dealership. No codes came up, other than a hard misfire in cylinder 2. They proceeded to take the engine apart looking for a mechanical problem, but found none. Called in some experts from Toyota who had them "try things". Eventually they found it was an air pocket in a fuel train(??). This was not covered under warranty. The car was 2 months beyond the 3 year warranty. I had just purchased it in May. Eventually called Toyota who extended a good will reimbursement to me. No one could explain how or why this happened. I have since noticed some vibration when driving at high speed. I am concerned that I have purchased a lemon.

Auxiliary battery was reading low despite being on charger. Had it replaced rather than worry about it. Was advised by shop mechanic that I may be taking it too easy on the car as the battery charges only when the engine is running. I do tend to see how little gasoline I can use and get around 60mph around town and on the interstates. Cost of the battery would pay for a lot of gasoline though...

The Car is Burning Excessive Oil. About 3.5 quarts in 10000 miles. Apparently a common issue on a Toyota Prius (2010-2015). Interesting thing is it's not burning enough oil to do the "repair". According to the Toyota TSB on the issue the car needs to burn more then 1 quart in 1000 miles. The repair is to replace the pistons and rings which is not trivial, and rather expensive. I will do an oil analysis and see if I have excessive metal. And if not switch oil to a 0w-30 or 0w-40.

There were a few times the car would not allow to switch to drive, all warning lights were on ... after shut down and restart (sometime once ) everything was normal and a few days later this happened again. Shop couldn't find anything and since then it has NOT reoccurred. Noticed a metallic clicking noise somewhere in the mid section of the engine bay ... turns out the heatshild of the first catalytic converter broke off. Toyota Dealership found the issue but they do not "repair" but replace the whole exhaust section for $2700. So I declined that and it was temporary fix with mechanical wires. and they said not critical. Later the heatshield was removed hopefully not causing more trouble.
