Exterior Lighting · reported Oct 5, 2026
Description of Safety Defect: I am reporting an uncorrected factory design defect in the 5th-generation Toyota Prius (2024 model) that constitutes an immediate and ongoing daytime driving hazard. Under standard operation, whenever the vehicle's headlights are activated during daytime hours—conditions legally mandated by Massachusetts state law, such as during rain, heavy fog, snow, dusk, or dawn—the driver's 7-inch Multi-Information Display (MID) speedometer cluster and the central multimedia touchscreen plunge into an aggressive, low-brightness night profile. When this occurs in daylight…

12V battery failed when vehicle was only 9 months old, stranding me on a cold day in January. No warning of dying battery prior to failure. Required a tow to dealer, where battery failure was confirmed. Replaced under warranty. This standard Toyota battery is under powered to sustain electronic functions of car.

My safety and the safety of 6,031 passengers/riders were put at risk when Lyft's Flex Drive rented this vehicle to me as a rideshare driver for one year. They admitted yesterday upon confronting them in person that they were aware of the recall and decided to not inform me. The company deflected responsibility onto me in several ways and even laughed in the back of the building. There was nothing funny about putting my life at risk and the lives of other people.

Since owning this car, there is a mildew odor coming from all 4 doors in the window slot. Clearly, water is collecting in the door insulation and growing mildew presenting a health issue. The dealer cleaned one of 4 doors and returned the car. Whenever the car is washed or in the rain, this issue happens. In checking on line, this is not an isolated incident. Prius models from 2024-2026 are experiencing the same issue. Again, this is not merely an inconvenience, it seems to becoming a health related issue
