September 23, 2026Suspension

The 2023 Toyota Prius Prime features fixed, non-adjustable rear suspension geometry. My vehicle arrived from the factory with the Right Rear Camber out of specification (-2.2°, max spec limit is -2.0°). Because the rear camber is non-adjustable and cannot be corrected, it caused rapid, unseen inner tread wear down to the steel cords by 20,000 miles, creating a severe tire blowout risk. Authorized Toyota dealership Ourisman Fairfax Toyota inspected the vehicle under RO #6195543/1 and verified that the camber is out of spec and that there is NO external physical damage to the suspension. Toyota Corporate closed my case and refused to address or reimburse the defect under the 3yr/36k Basic Warr

August 19, 2026Power TrainElectrical System

The vehicle exhibits an unaddressed factory programming defect where the Plug-In Charge Control ECU fails to enter sleep mode while plugged in or resting. This causes continuous, heavy parasitic drain on the 12V auxiliary battery, causing chronic low-voltage state across critical systems. The 12V auxiliary network supplies power to the primary control units, CAN-bus communication modules, and dynamic stability systems. Operating under chronic low-voltage causes system instability, erratic sensor processing, voltage brownouts, and rapid degradation of the 12V battery. In severe traffic or isolated operations, a depleted 12V battery creates a distinct safety hazard, including sudden loss of pr

My 2023 Prius Prime cannot be charged normally in hot weather without triggering a thermal-protection fault on its high-voltage charging system. Avondale Toyota diagnosed it in writing: "CODE P1CE996 CHARGER COOLING FAN REVOLUTION SENSOR COMPONENT INTERNAL FAILURE. THE ELECTRIC CHARGER ASSEMBLY HAS A INTERNAL OPEN CIRCUIT CAUSING IT TO BE INOP. RECOMMEND REPLACEMENT ADD PN# G9090-47061." Quote: $2,516.99 plus ~$200 diagnostic. The vehicle cannot verify its high-voltage charger's cooling fan is operating. In Phoenix heat (100F+), normal charging repeatedly sets the fault and check engine light. I verified by controlled testing: reduced-current charging in cool hours avoids the fault, but any

There is an unexplained loss of 12V power from the 12V battery, and the car will not start. This was reported to the local Toyota dealership on 12/5/25.

They inspected the battery again on 12/30/25 during a routine scheduled service and the 12V battery was good.
