2010 Prius severe knocking and shaking at startup
I have a 2010 Prius that will randomly shake and knocking for a few seconds upon starting then seems to smooth out after a few seconds. Anyone else experience that?

Re: 2010 Prius severe knocking and shaking at startup
There is no one solution. The condition is too vague. Everything I listed is a possibility.
Additionally, given the tendency for the Gen3 Prius to blow head gaskets, this could be a cause too. A small leak in the head gasket could slowly fill one or more cylinders and foul the plug. The plug fails to ignite on several revolutions until there is some heat into the engine causing the coolant to evaporate. Eventually the plug starts to spark regularly and burns off the coolant in the cylinder and starts running normally. Possible symptoms resulting from a blown/leaking head gasket:
Here's your real answer: Take your car to a mechanic. You're not going to get an actual answer until you have a professional actually assess the problem. You're just going to get speculation, and since you're not getting the answer you want, you're just going to continue to NOT address the problem. |
