    My Prius is 2013 My-Coordination version.

    Few weeks ago when I was on expressway driving 100kmph suddenly I felt small vibration something like front tires are loosened. Stopped the car & checked all were ok. In this morning it happened again when slow driving & car was shaking/vibrating madly with "daka-daka" noise. Front tyres are not much good (too much worn-out) & need to replace. But a technician said it could be due to engine miss-fire because of one of Coil's issue. Any idea about this?

    Can you describe with more details? Does the engine run rough when it first starts up before you start driving? Or is it not related to the engine, but another part of the car?

    Tire weight flung off? I think that would be much less severe though.

    Check the lug nuts are all torqued (76 ft/lb). And there...

    Hi thank you for relying.

    Ut happened 10mins after driving when i took an elbow turn to expressway. Happened with a big honking like sound. After that it started to front vibrating. Didn't find anything unusual except bad front tyres which ones edge has gone. When phoned to a tech guy he asked it is shaking going bit fast. I checked and found it doesn't shake when speed upto 40kmph. When drived 5kmph it shaked again. So he said it might be engine misfire due to a bad Coil. And if its the case i have to replace it. Anyhow i got exited from the expressway at 60kmph and came to office. But 5 hrs later or in next trip car drived smoothly again in low or normal speed. Didn't drive fast actually. Still couldn't see a tech guy. Can this be due to bad plug or bad coil? Or any idea pl?
