What owners wrote
While driving it seemed the car just stopped loud bang in rear and quickly moved again took to dealer and they cannot find anything wrong don't feel safe in care this is second time it has happened. Thank you
The engine oil runs low between oil changes and no warning lights are displayed. The car was in motion and shaking and jerking occurred. The car was on a city street. I added the appropriate type and weight of oil. It has happened several times since first time but I check it regularly. I know one other prius v 5 2013 owner who has the same issue.
