THE BLUETOOTH PHONE SYSTEM CREATES A VERY DANGEROUS DISTRACTED DRIVING CONDITION BECAUSE BLUETOOTH PHONE CALLS DO NOT REPEAT DO NOT OVERRIDE THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM AS THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO DO AND LIKE THEY DO IN MY 2006 PRIUS (VIN#: [XXX]). THIS ISSUE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE FIXED IN THE 2017 MODEL YEAR BUT TOYOTA STILL HAS NOT CORRECTED IT. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN NOTED MULTIPLE TIMES WITH TOYOTA AND WITH THE NHTSA. MY WIFE'S 2013 LEXUS RX 450H (VIN#[XXX]) HAS BEEN REGISTERED BEFORE AND WE RARELY USE THE BUILT IN NAVIGATION NOW FOR SAFETY CONCERNS. MY COMPANY'S 2016 PRIUS (VIN# [XXX]) WAS TOTALED IN LATE 2016 AND THIS ISSUE WAS A CONTRIBUTING FACTOR TO MY EMPLOYEE REAR ENDING HIS PARENTS AND TOTALING THE CAR. THE REPLACEMENT 2016 PRIUS (VIN# [XXX]) WAS ALSO INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT ALTHOUGH NOT TOTALED AND AGAIN THIS DISTRACTED DRIVING ISSUE WAS A CONTRIBUTING FACTOR, I BELIEVE. I PURCHASED MY NEW PRIUS PRIME (VIN# [XXX]) EXPECTING TO HAVE THIS ISSUE RESOLVED AND WAS TOLD BY TOYOTA IT WAS NOW "SELECTABLE" BUT IT IS NOT!!!! WITH ALL THE DISTRACTED DRIVING ISSUES PREVALENT ON THE ROADS TO WHY TOYOTA WOULD INTENTIONALLY DESIGN A SYSTEM TO CAUSE DISTRACTED DRIVING IS BEYOND ME. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE CORRECT IMMEDIATELY. I BELIEVE THIS IS A PURE SOFTWARE ISSUE AND THAT IS WHY I WAS TOLD IT WOULD BE FIXED FOR THE 2017 MODEL YEAR. IT NEEDS TO BE!!!! THANK YOU, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

NHTSA received a petition on or about July 18, 2022, requesting that Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 141 be applied to all electric and hybrid vehicles operating in the United States. The petition can be reviewed at NHTSA.gov under ODI Number 11486072. FMVSS 141 establishes performance requirements for pedestrian alert sounds for motor vehicles. The standard applies to hybrid and electric vehicles that have a gross vehicle weight rating of 4,536 KG or less or are defined as low-speed vehicles. The standard became fully applicable to all such vehicles manufactured on or after March 1, 2021.On January 27, 2023, NHTSA opened Defect Petition (DP) 22-005 to evaluate the subject matter described in the petition. On June 24, 2023 and as supplemented on June 25, 2023, the petitioner notified NHTSA he was withdrawing his petition. The petitioner indicated that, based on his review of data, there is no justification for asserting potential benefits that could be derived from actions sought by my petition. Based on the petitioner's withdrawal, DP22-005 is closed. Closure of this DP does not represent a determination by NHTSA regarding the subject matter of the petition.
