Prius (Gen 4) :: 2016 Touring - Couple Of Clicks When Brake


Mar 28, 2016

Not all of the time, but sometimes, I hear a couple of clicks when I brake. It seems to happen for a while after first starting the car. It is only heard when pressing the brake. It may be intentional but I really have no clue.

Prius 2016 (Gen 4) :: Trunk Space Area / 12v Outlets Touring Vs Non-Touring Models

I'm a rideshare driver who drives about 1000 miles/week. I currently have a Gen 2 which I love, but I'm looking to upgrade to a Gen 4 pretty soon.

-Does the Gen 4 have the same kind of under-trunk storage area in the hatch/cargo area? This is important for me on the Gen 2 because it allows me to carry equipment while having an empty hatch space for passengers luggage. Does it depend on if you have a spare tire or not?

-Real-world MPG in extended city driving with A/C on?

-Where are the 12v outlets? And extend one into the hatch area?

-Is there a notable difference in comfort for touring vs non touring models?

-Does the driver's seat with lumbar support make a significant difference in comfort?

2016 Avalon Touring Full Screen Display For Nav System

Just purchased a 2016 Avalon Touring. I am very happy with the car except for the nav screen. It seems that only split screen display is possible; either 2 or 3 panels. Is it possible to have full screen display for the nav system. The 800 number for Toyota said no.

Prius (Gen 2) Fuel :: 2007 - Touring Used To Get Only 38 To 40 Mpg?

My 2005 Prius with 86K miles regularly got 48 around town and 49 to 53 on long trips. I sold it to my son and his wife, they are also getting the same mileage. I bought the 2007 touring used with 41K miles and have never gotten over 41 mpg highway, and around town is 38 to 39 mpg.

Prius (Gen 2) :: 2008 Touring Won't Go Into Gear On 1st Start

I just purchased a 2008 Prius C Touring edition from CarMax. I have an appointment to bring it back but this may be a user error issue. My issue is that when I first hit the Power button the indicator light on the button goes green. When I hit it a 2nd time the light goes orange but stays on. When I shift to R or D it will shift to N but no further. I do have my foot on the break but the only way I can shift into R or D is to hit the power button twice more, to turn it off and back on. When it turns on the 2nd time, the indicator light on the Power button goes off. Am I doing something wrong?

Prius (Gen 2) :: Driver Side Headlight Is Out In 2008 Touring (HID)

My driver side headlight is out in my '08 touring (HID) I bought replacement bulbs on Priuschat recommendation. Swapped that one out, no change. Is the ballast next on the list?

Also, this may be a coincidence. But that headlight assembly seems to be a bit leaky. After a rain a fair amount of condensation gets in there.

Prius (2004-09) :: 2008 Touring AC Stopped Cooling

I have a 2008 Touring. The air has always been ice cold, even yesterday. On my commute this morning I noticed that the air was not cold at all for the first time ever. The outside temp said it was 77. I changed the temp, turned it off, etc but nothing changed. I just had it at the Toyota dealer 2 days getting the oil changed.

I just bought a used 2008 Prius Touring model and it has Bridgestone Turanza EL400 02 tires. Max pressure says 51 psi.

Prius (Gen 2) :: 2009 Touring - Loud Thump Sound On Acceleration

Purchased an 09 Touring and so far enjoying the driving experience. Getting 42/43MPG with mostly short trips. However, I have noticed one thing unusual. Not sure if I should be concerned or if this is a normal thing. I am a rideshare driver, and whenever a group of people get out and I accelerate away from them, I hear a pretty loud thump sound. This happens usually when a group of 3 or more exits and often does not happen when one or two people exit the vehicle.

Prius (Gen 2) :: Electric Lock On Doors Not Always Working On 2007 Touring

I've got a 2007 Touring and all of the 4 doors don't always lock when I push the button outside of the car or the key fob. Sometimes the front left or the front right doesn't lock. When I push the button or the key fob I don't get the single beep to let me know they are all locked. I just hear a click, click.

Prius (2004-09) :: 2008 Touring - CEL On At 68K / New Catalytic Converter Needed

My '08 Prius Touring is in the shop today because the 'check engine' light came on at 68,500 miles. I just got word from them that the catalytic converter is bad and needs replacement. Good thing I bought the extended warranty! Well, I searched the forum for similar problems and it seems like this is somewhat common, albeit on cars with a bit more mileage and maybe a year or more older. I don't abuse my car at all, though I often roll into full-throttle while merging.

Is this a symptom of a poor part design or of a system that fouls the cat over a certain amount of time? I'm not looking forward to replacing it again at 130K after my extended warranty expires.

Prius (2004-09) Fuel :: 2008 Touring - MPG Drops After Oil Change

I changed the oil on my 2008 Prius Touring in the weekend. I consulted the manual after the oil was changed. One mistake I made was to use 10W-30 instead 5W-30 recommended. The manual mentioned that it affects MPG with 10W-30. For the 270 miles trip I took right after, my average MPG dropped from ~46 to 45 highway. My short commute driving dropped from ~37 to 34. Comparison are made on the same roads with similar temperature and driving speed. Is that normal? Will it go back up after a while?

Prius (2004-09) :: 2007 Touring Won't Shift Into Drive Or Reverse (it Will Go Into Neutral)

I have an '07 Prius Touring with about 95K miles that I have owned for about a month (after my previous '07 was totaled). My wife tried to drive it for the first time today, and the problem is that when my wife tries to start the engine, the dash lights come on and the color display comes on, but the car won't "shift" into Drive or Reverse (it will go into Neutral). A dash warning light also comes on that the owner's manual says means Take to the Toyota Dealer for Service. Then if she gets out of the car and then I get into the drivers seat, everything works fine.

Dodge - Suspension :: Brake / Battery And Headlight Blink For Couple Seconds Then Goes Off

I have a 2005 Dodge stratus R/T and about month ago when driving to work i noticed the brake light, battery light on dashboard and the headlights blink faintly fast for couple seconds then goes off. Car starts fine and only notice it once a day but happens everyday on way to work, or best i can tell since it is a faint light and i can see it when dark out. I drive 45 minutes to work in dark so notice it only once per day and not always same time into drive. I had charging system checked and the wires to altenator checked. No loss of power or hard starting but just annoying and wonder if going to just die on me some morning.

Passat (B6) :: Engine Revs Up For A Couple Of Seconds Then Parking Brake Fault

I have a 07 Passat, manual 2.0T, 90 kmiles.

There was a recall for some faulty circuit in the steering column, which got replaced in September. Ever since the replacement, about once a week (with a daily commute of 40 miles each way, mostly congested highway), the following happens:

First the engine revs up for a couple of seconds when I change gears, to 4-5kRPM. Then within 5 minutes, I get a "Parking Brake Fault" message, together with the yellow P light staying on. If I stop the engine, I cannot restart it for 30 minutes or so, there's a message that says "depress clutch first".

When I finally manage to restart, I won't have a problem for about a week. Is this common?

Lexus GX 2004-09 :: Violent Brake Vibration After A Couple Of Aggressive Slow Downs

Well after another visit at a local track, I am having a wired problem with my brakes. After a couple of aggressive slow downs the car developed a violent vibration and a steering wheel shake. Also vibration during 60 mph and vibration in the brake pedal. So, i thought, I overheated and warped the rotors. But after a short drive through town. The problem disappeared completely. I thought "lucky me", but as soon as i got on to a HWY, the problem returned for about 20 miles. It got so bad that i thought my wheels would fall off. The car would be almost jumping at the touch of a brake pedal. Then it went away again, and drove fine for the next 60 mi. Just before the problem started I had Centre dif locked, on somewhat slippery surface, driving fast and braking hard, not sure if this somehow could have contributed to the problem. Could it be a stuck piston in the caliper?

Ignition - Jetta - Volkswagen :: 2001 - At Start Up After Off For Couple Of Hours Gas And Brake Pedal Won't Work

A couple weeks ago I bought a 2001 VW Jetta with 176,000 miles on it. The car runs well, but for the past four days this has been happening:

Every time I start the car, after it's been off for a couple hours, neither the gas nor the brake pedal work. I can push them down, and I hear the car trying to respond but it doesn't do anything (well, it does move a little, as though it's in neutral). Then, when I turn the car off and then turn it immediately back on, both pedals are back to normal and work perfectly fine again. It's happened every time I start the car for the past few days.

Ford Super Duty (1999-2016) :: 2002 F250 Won't Turn Over / Just Two Clicks Under The Hood

Battery tested good, tried jumping it as well with cables and with portable pack.

I hear two clicks under the hood (NOT a continuous type click you hear when the battery is dead). The first seems to be up near the passenger fender well when the key is turn to the start position, the second click seems to be down under the motor near the passenger side (near the starter I assume, couldn't tell very well) when the key is RELEASED from the start position. The motor doesn't budge, I don't see any belts flinch or pulleys move to indicate that the starter is engaging. I don't hear anything that sounds like a starter engaging to me.

If not, where the starter solenoid is on this thing? is it separate like the other older ford's I've owned or is it now on the starter? Is there any fuse-able links that could cause this? Wiring diagram? Is there a way to jump the solenoid like in the old school days (e.g. with a screwdriver or wrench)? would like to get this home without towing it or fixing what is really wrong with it in the parking lot.

It's in negative to single digit temps here in Indy now, I fired it up in the morning in negative temps, drove it work. Came out to go home, and now this. So something happened between this morning and now and it's not the battery.

Prius (2010-12) :: Clicks Came From Left Side Of Car

I sat in the car while waiting for the wife to pick up a some things at the store and after a couple of minutes, there was two or three click sounds. It sounded like it came from the left side of the car, like relays resetting. Then in a couple more minuted I heard another series of clicks that sounded like they came from under the hood.
