Prius C :: Steering Wheel Cover Doesn't Fit


Jun 21, 2012

Just bought a steering wheel cover from Amazon, but the standard size cover turned out to be too large for my C's steering wheel. I've noticed the steering wheel is actually in an oval shape, where the bottom part is flat. I doubt if any steering wheel cover would fit it.

Prius (Gen 3) :: Rear Windshield Wiper Doesn't Quite Cover Enough Of Back Window

I used my rear windshield wiper for the first time today. Noticed that the back windshield wiper doesn't clean off the back window close enough to the horizontal bar going across the Prius V hatch? I have about 2-3 inches of dew remaining above the back hatch bar, which 'happens' to be the exact height of my eyes (I'm 6').

Touareg :: Vibration In Steering Wheel / Car Doesn't Beep

I have an 07, V6 with about 200 miles, no mods, here are my two challenges:

1. At about 60 mph to 70 mph I get vibration in my steering wheel. Before I bot the vehicle the dealer said they checked the alignment and proper air pressure of the tires and everything looked good (I told them what the vehicle was doing). The weird thing is it doesn't always do this, usually every other time I drive it.

2. I programmed the car to beep when I lock it which now it doesn't beep anymore and the light switch near the compass that you can select the light to turn on when you open the doors works, but never turns off when you close the doors so I have to turn the switch off.

Camry :: 2011 - Horn Doesn't Work As Pressed From Steering Wheel

Just want to get some input before throwing in the towel. The horn doesn't work as pressed from the steering wheel. Took the horns out and tested it manually by connecting it to the positive terminal and ground of the vehicle. One (high) didn't work while the other (low) worked. I purchased an aftermarket replacement for the high pitch horn and installed it. Still nothing. Checked the fuse inside the fuse box by the right side engine bay and it is ok. Can't find the location of the relay since we bought this used from the dealership. No manual and the cover to the fuse box (inside the vehicle) was missing.

Lexus RX 2004-09 :: 2008 RX350 - When Turn The Key Steering Wheel Doesn't Adjust

I've had my 2008 RX350 for 2.5 yrs now and just love it! However, over the last 8 months or so, I've been having a strange annoying problem. And a few times, the car has left me stranded. What happens is I turn the key and my first indicator is that the steering wheel doesn't adjust and I know the car is not going to start. However, the radio may work, dash lights work, steering wheel is not locked. It seems entirely dead as if the battery is dead. The car may start 15 min later or may take 3 hours then decide to start.

A strange thing is, is the windows don't work following these episodes which normally signify a battery failure, however the battery is not very old, otherwise performs perfectly and the dealership tested it and say it's good. Because this is so intermittent, they couldn't re-enact the problem so I'm stuck with being stranded again....usually 6 weeks later. The dealership has no answers. I was lucky last night because the car started after 15 min. 6 weeks ago, I was stranded 50 miles away from home where I had to leave the car overnight after trying for 3 hours to get is started.

The next morning, it promptly started. I am at a total loss and it makes me nervous to drive. My husband who works for a chevy dealer and knowledgeable with cars is stumped. He asks the question, could there be a computer malfunction after so many starts which would answer the 6 wk consistency for which this happens? Should we just replace the battery even though we have no reason to suspect?

Lexus RX 2004-09 :: Steering Wheel Doesn't Return Back To Straight As Move Through The Turn

My 2005 RX330 has 140,000 kms...and I am now witnessing frequent periods of hard steering. I even sometimes find that after I turn a corner, the steering wheel doesn't return back to straight as I move through the turn - I have to forcefully return the steering back to straight steering. There is plenty of power steering fluid, and there are no abnormal whining noises from the power steering assembly. And since the ease of power steering does still work...I suspect that a ball joint needs looked at.

Ford Escape / Hybrid :: Thumping Sound - Steering Wheel Straightens Out But Car Doesn't Change Direction

I was out driving tonight and our 03 escape started making a thumping sound like you hear when you have a flat. I turned the corner and noticed that the steering wheel is now at a 30 degree angle as I'm going straight and when I hit the brakes the steering wheel straightens out but the car doesn't change direction. It's dark so I can only see so much but the tie rods are good and tight from what I can tell same with ball joints. They just did that subframe recall a month or so ago. My concern is steering box but other than these symptoms it seems to be working fine.

Prius (Gen 3) :: Right Rear Wheel Cover Fell Off

Bought a 2010 Prius II around Feb. 1. So far, so good. No real problems, except the right rear wheel cover fell off sometime around mile 2500.

To my delight, the missing ugly wheel cover revealed a pretty good looking alloy wheel underneath. Except the alloy has a gaping, empty hole in the center of the wheel. Rather than pay a king's ransom to replace the lost wheel cover, I asked in the dealer's parts dept. if an OEM center-cap was available to fit the Prius wheel. Turns out there is, so I ordered 4 center caps . They arrived about a week later. Plugged them into the holes, and away we go with good looking alloys now instead of those wheel covers.

Prius (Gen 3) :: Unrecognisable Loose Wheel Well Plastic Cover

I have a 2012 Prius. I occasionally will clean the wheel wells, as I live on a dirt road. I have found that there's a plastic cover inside the left rear wheel well, at about 2 o'clock as you face the wheel. It seems to be loose.

Prius (2010-12) :: How To Remove Top Steering Column Cover

How do you remove the top steering column cover? This is the plastic piece immediately toward the front of the car from the steering wheel. It covers the steering column and is not part of the steering wheel. Part number is 45286-47040-C0 and the parts breakdown doesn't show any fasteners, it probably has some tabs that need to be released, but where?

Prius (2004-09) :: RED Triangle Light On - Power Steering Doesn't Work

My red triangle light came on! and the PS light came on the square screen and my power steering is in the dumps (doesn't work).

Where would be the first place to check? could it possibly be the accessory belt that came off/broke? is it hard to access/replace that?

Prius C :: Extension Of The Steering Wheel Is Possible?

Bringing the steering wheel out another inch or two would do wonders. But is there an acceptable path? I know this isn't done casually, because it could interfere with the airbag.

There are two possibilities.

First, some kind of extender that would be inserted behind the steering wheel.

Alternatively, I see an external wheel extension that targets handicapped drivers. See link; this might do the trick and not interfere with the airbag for 14" diameter and an extension of an inch or two.

Prius C :: Shaking Through Steering Wheel

My car has shaken from the start but I thought it was because it was a small car that was a great price so this is how it ran. Today it started shaking so badly up through the steering wheel that I was afraid to drive it. Still am. I got the tire pressure checked, the wheel balancing checked - all ok. Took it into the dealership (car is still under warrantee) and they think it's likely the drive train/drive shaft.

Prius (Gen 3) :: Customize Steering Wheel Controls?

Trying setting up new controls in the steering wheel of a Prius? I have the "four" package so there's a blank spot on the right side where the radar cruise and lane assist controls would be, and I would kill to have the three driving mode buttons right there for easy switching while driving around town. Is that sort of thing even technically possible?
