View 1 RepliesPrius (Gen 2) :: 2006 - MFD Screen Has Been Skipping Bars In Consumption Category
I bought a 2006 Certified used Prius a month ago and it was rear ended 2 weeks ago (uninsured motorist couldn't be more pissed) Well since the wreck the MFD screen has been skipping bars in the consumption category. It will just leave a whole space blank. Everything else it working fine. We took it to Toyota to figure out what was going on and they are saying that everything mechanical and electrical with the car is fine. They said the only thing they can think is that the MFD screen is having issues after the wreck.
View 8 RepliesPrius (Gen 3) :: Thump Noise And Vibration When Brake At Speeds Greater Than About 12 Mph
My new 2012 Prius III was braking with the normal Prius noises until yesterday. It as 1,000 miles on it and while my wife was driving it on the highway a person cut in front of her so she had to brake hard to avoid them. Ever since then when I press on then brake normally I hear a thump noise and feel a vibration under my right foot (just to the left of the brake and on the floor). It comes when I brake at speeds greater than about 12 mph. What it is and why it started? I'm planning on taking it in to the dealer to get it checked out...
View 11 RepliesPrius (2004-09) :: 2005 - Observed Too Much Oil Consumption
I have a 2005 Toyota Prius with 209,800 miles on it. Just had an oil change a couple of weeks ago. Prior to that oil change, and even a couple of months prior, my husband and I began noticing that we are frequently adding oil every 4 to 5 days. I find that to be unusual however, given the age of the vehicle.

I have noticed my oil consumption has jumped to 1 1/2 quarts at 3000 miles..(it has been changed every 3 to 4000 miles) and is always very dark.. There's no leaks and the spark plugs were clean (just a little ash) when I changed them with the last oil change. No smoke from the tail pipe and the car still gets 45/48 mpg ..
View 8 RepliesToyota - Matrix :: 2004 - Engine / Transmission Noise Under Greater Load?
I have a 2004 Toyota Matrix, 5 spd manual with 175,000 miles. It's been a great car, but about 4 months ago I noticed more noise than usual from the engine compartment. It sounds like someone dropped a noisy diesel engine in there! The noise is most noticeable on the highway when the engine is under greater load (e.g. up hill). The dealer told me it's the belt tensioner. I had that replaced, but the noise is still there, and it's getting worse. I recently had the car completely serviced, full tune up, transmission fluid changed, etc.
View 8 RepliesPrius (2004-09) :: Mileage Count Since Last Refill On Consumption Screen?
I have a 2009 Prius (purchased in March of '09) - working just fine - 58.6 mpg.
Each time that I have gone to purchase gas, I have not pushed the reset button on the Consumption screen as I have wanted to keep a running average for mpg. However, the miles driven count since the last refill automatically goes back to 0 (again on the Consumption Screen) and then starts a new count. This is useful as I know how many miles I have driven since the last refill. Today, however, I purchased fuel and the count did not revert to 0. Has a sensor been damaged? Is there anything I can or should do? I know I could press the Reset button but that would be a last resort.
Lexus GS 2006-11 :: Oil Consumption Is Too Much
My 06 lexus gs 300 has about 155000 miles on it and still running strong. Its been very reliable but my concern is has anyone ever had their GS use a lot of oil? It seems like my GS is using a lot of oil. I checked under the hood and car and there are no leaks at all. Also I use 5w 30 penzoil and i change my oil every 3000 miles. Also are brakes easy to change on this car?
View 14 RepliesFord - Freestyle :: 2006 - Oil Consumption Is Ridiculously High?
My stepmother has a 2006 Ford Freestyle AWD with a 3.0L Volvo engine. It seems to be consuming a great deal of oil. (Definitely not leaking it.) But not on a regular basis.... Within a couple weeks of changing the oil this time, it has consumed nearly 2 quarts! Other times it hardly uses any. This has been going on for a couple years now. She has taken it to the dealership numerous times and they cannot seem to find the issue. It doesn't have a "burnt" smell when I pull the dipstick either. The mileage is low as she hardly drives the car. (Under 80,000 miles) I've looked online and can't seem to find this problem elsewhere.

View 11 RepliesPassat (B5) :: 2004 - Too Much Oil Consumption
Alright so every 3-4 weeks I have to put about a quart of oil in the car. Its sometimes less, sometimes more. I HAD an oil leak from the passenger side valve tensioner gasket cover. I had the pcv system replaced and all new gaskets. No more oil leak. BUT, I still seem to be losing oil. I can't afford a quart or more every 3-4 weeks. I've looked all over the engine and underneath and haven't found any oil. If this persists, I might trade in and get a 24v VR6 GLI. I've had more small things go wrong with this car and its starting to piss me off. At least with a 24v I can get more power mods....

I have a 94 celica gt and at random times the power is much greater than normal. it seams to happen most when the engine is not fully warmed up or if I'm driving all day and it starts to cool down for the day. normally my 0 to 60 time is around 8 to 10 seconds and when this happens the time drops to around 6 seconds. I also have a 93 Toyota pick up that does the same thing and another 94 celica that doesn't do it.

View 5 RepliesNissan - Altima :: 2006 - Making Metallic Sound While Driving - Higher Oil Consumption?
I own a 2006 Nissan Altima with about 90500 miles on it. Recently i took it in for service and to fix a problem where the car was making this metallic sound while driving. The mechanic discovered that the sound was caused by a low engine oil level causing the timing belt tension to lose pressure and make the sound.
The mechanic also found a Nissan Service Recall/Campaign (NTB06-082) related to Engine Oil Consumption where the following occurs: "extremely low engine oil level resulting from higher than normal engine oil consumption due to a manufacturing problem in some engines". NTB06-082 states that the first thing the dealer should do if the recall applies is reprogrammed the ECU followed by doing an engine oil check.
What steps I should follow to get the Nissan Dealership to take a look at this particular issue? I imagine that it's going to be hard convincing them that the NTB06-082 may apply to my vehicle.
