2007 Toyota Prius Suspension Problems
Owner-reported complaints naming the suspension system, filed with NHTSA
Data refreshed
Suspension reportsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

DRIVER REAR COIL SPRING BROKE. ONE END OF IT SEEMS TO HAVE A CHUNK BROKEN OFF. I HAVE THE COIL SPRING. I HAD THE DEALER REPLACE THE SPRING SO I DO HAVE REPAIR INVOICE. I NOTICED THE CAR SITTING LOW ON DRIVER'S REAR CORNER WHILE SITTING IN MY GARAGE. I HAVE AN IDENTICAL MODEL, A 2009 PRIUS, SITTING NEXT TO THIS AFFECTED CAR, (A 2007 PRIUS). THE GARAGE FLOOR IS A FLAT CONCRETE SLAB.

THE CAR'S HID HEADLAMP JUST GOES OUT SPORADICALLY. SO FAR, IT IS "SOLVED" BY TURNING HEADLAMPS OFF AND ON AGAIN; BUT IT REPEATS ITSELF. THE FRONT RIGHT STRUT WAS BROKEN SHORTLY AFTER WE BOUGHT THE CAR (55 DAYS AGO) AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT. WE REPLACED STRUT.
