What owners report
The design and engineering of this vehicle is defective. All of the vehicles on the road need to be recalled. The outside an inside edges of the tire wear at an extreme rate which will result entire failure, collision, and eventually fatalities. I own two 2024 Prius prime XLE premiums, and I have read online and everyone is having this problem. The torque is so extreme that even the new vehicles cannot maintain alignment. The wheel and tire combination from the factory is simply not suitable for the weight and power of the vehicle.

When she was trying to slow down the vehicle to park, it suddenly picked up speed and hit a concret
Incident: On Sept 12, 2026, my 2024 Toyota Prius Prime continued moving forward after I pressed the Park button, causing a collision with my condo garage wall. This was unintended vehicle movement after Park engagement. The vehicle uses a pushâbutton, shiftâbyâwire Park system, so any electronic malfunction can affect its ability to remain stationary. Recent recall work: Two days before the incident (Sept 10, 2026), Toyota performed recall work on the vehicle.
