    My car has shaken from the start but I thought it was because it was a small car that was a great price so this is how it ran. Today it started shaking so badly up through the steering wheel that I was afraid to drive it. Still am. I got the tire pressure checked, the wheel balancing checked - all ok. Took it into the dealership (car is still under warrantee) and they think it's likely the drive train/drive shaft.

    Has anyone else had this problem in a Prius C? Mine is a 2013?

    P.S. I gave my 2008 Prius hatchback to my daughter and it's still running well. It's been a great car.

    I've never seen that kind of problem with my 2012 Prius C. I'm not even sure if I can tell through the steering wheel whether the gas engine is running or whether the car is in full EV mode.
