    I got my recall notice yesterday. This problem surfaced in the 2023 Prius and Toyota is STILL producing this car with this problem? W T F !

    This is a second recall. The first fix was deemed insufficient. It's a non-problem that affects only those who for some reason drive with their rear doors unlocked. The car is set by default to lock when you shift out of park.

    Non problem? Water can get in the electric door switch! I’d say that’s a problem.

    I called my local Toyota dealer today and they were clueless. The service rep had no idea what is involved in the repair or how long it will take. The rep also said Toyota hasn’t made the parts available so the fix can’t even be made at present. The service rep won’t even know about the recall unless you provide the vin so they can look it up for your car.

    To see if your car is on the recall list, go to the Toyota app on your phone, click on the health tab and it will show up there if your car is affected.

    Keep the doors locked. The sky is not falling.
