Prius

The driver's side car seat automatic seat adjustment (backwards/forwards) failed all of a sudden with no warning. It was working when I parked the car to go into an office for an appointment. When I came back out to the car, it wouldn't work and was making strange noises. I called the dealer and they said to bring in the car to be looked at. This is a safety issue because it was hard to reach the pedal to drive the car without pillows pushing me forward in the car seat. The car was taken to the dealer twice and I was finally told that the track the car goes forward and backward on was worn out and the motor would need to be replaced. I was quoted $3K for the repair because the warranty had expired and the car seat needed to be removed to make the repairs.

Even though this vehicle has nothing to do with this case, I consider that it is very relevant that I express my concerns with this vehicle due to the fact that I traded in my 2015 Toyota Prius for a vehicle that provided an unsafe driving experience to my family which was the 2017 Toyota Prius with VIN number [xxx] after taking it to three different Toyota dealerships to be evaluated by two different Toyota field inspectors from Toyota headquarters, Toyota motor vehicles made the choice not to listen to our concerns and rejected to take responsibility providing me a safety hazard product in order to avoid lemon law and/or make me aware of the high levels of emf that the vehicle had. On April 18 2019, we never were told by the second field inspector sent by Toyota headquarters the results of his findings. Big two Toyota took advantage of the situation and convinced us to trade in this vehicle for a new 2019 Toyota sienna.
