The head gasket is leaking. After speaking with several mechanics who work on this type of car and issue and they have all said that "3rd generation prius engines all have this leaking head gasket problem, no other generation hybrid engine from toyota or lexus does". Why wasn't this recalled? I don't understand how toyota and lexus get away with a shoddy product that creates a $5-8k expense on their vehicles that is a design flaw and issue with this generation hybrid engine. My car is only worth about $10k, so paying to fix this seems like a bad choice. However, i have also been told that often when people do pay to fix it they have to come back as the engine block ends up needing full replacement, which is an additional $3k.

On apr, 19th 2016 lexus and toyota sent enhanced warranty on the brake actuators on these vehicles: 2006 ' 2007 gs 430, 2007 ' 2011 gs 450h, 2008 ' 2011 gs 460, 2007 ' 2012 ls 460, and 2006 ' 2008 rx 400h seem like the real problem haven't been solved and cars that were build after those years still reporting of same problem prematurely failing on brake actuators across the forums. Hope nhtsa look into this matter and have citizens drive road in safer environment. Sincerely,

Door locks on vehicle do not lock or unlock

The driver door on my car will not open from the inside or outside. This is the 3rd time i have had an issue with the door locks on my car. The driver door lock actuator stopped working at 60000 miles, so i spent the $500 to replace it. Then the passenger front door actuator started acting up, and not working. Now my driver door will not open at all, the car currently has 85000 miles on it. This seems to me to be a safety issue, not having some kind of manual over ride to get the door open. I have been looking on the internet a lot, and have found this to be a common issue with toyota/lexus vehicles. I am a disabled veteran and trying to crawl out of my tiny car is very painful. I can only imagine what would happen if i were to get in a wreck and not be able to open my door.

Repeated issues with faulty door lock actuators on lexus ct and toyota prius models, resulting in unlocked doors at times when locked would be desired. In this particular lexus ct, the first door lock actuator stopped working at 36,000 miles exactly; driver's door. The second stopped working at 39,000 miles; driver-side rear door. The third stopped working at 39,500 miles; passenger- side rear door. Problems occur as car is stationary but being put into gear; then persist as driver is in transit. (for instance, if the door doesn't lock, it remains unlocked as driver is at stop light.) same problems on a 2010 model year toyota prius, which is built on same or similar platform as lexus ct. Replaced six door-lock actuators in 5 years on this 4-door car.
