The abs brake actuator assembly is failing on my 2007 toyota prius, creating unpredictable and dangerous braking. It is a $3,000 replacement that, up until the end of 2017, toyota was replacing at no charge, but no longer, under a warranty enhancement program, zg1, acknowledging that this part is defective. I went on line and discovered that this is a very common problem for 2007 toyotas. This should not be just a…

My wife was driving her car to work, an audio warning and lights on the dash came on indicating that the abs system had a problem. She was able to pull to the side of the road and turned off the car. She started the car and the lights had reset and no sound. Later in the day she started her car and the symptoms happened again but the brake pedal was mushy. I got the car home and looked at the front and rear brake…

I have been told by a toyota dealership (heartland toyota) that my anti-locking brake system (abs) pump actuator is failing on my 2007 prius with only 87,000 miles. The cost to repair this problem is $3500-$4000. Apparently toyota came out with an extended warranty to cover this problem a while back but limited it to situations occurring prior to 12/31/2017. I contacted toyota "customer care" in an effort to find…

Brake and abs warning lights came on after i replaced the 12v battery. I noticed the right front brake-effect was stronger and it resulted in the car pulling sharply to the right. I took it to a local mechanic who tested the codes and replaced the abs relay. That did not solve the problem and he recommended toyota service. I talked with a toyota service rep who told me there was a known problem with some prius…

Abs accuator failure. This is a very known common failure from toyota . They will not cover it. This is very dangerous. It has to do with the braking system of my car.

My car has 115k miles and the abs alarm went off and the dealer said the brake system module failed and need a new one and quote me $3000. I can't afford this so my mechanic installed a used part and still the abs alarm on! This part has a recall that expired in jan 2018. Can toyota do this for me? The car can still be driven for a long time. This part is supposed to live much more than 115k miles and probably more…

The brake accuator on the generation 2 toyota prius has become famous for failing. Toyota ran an extended warranty, however, dealerships ignored the problem and instead fixed other issues without actually going after the accuator until after the extended warranty expired. Now my car's accuator for the brakes is bad, as indicated by warning lights and alarms. I fear that my 10 year old car will have a brake failure.…

Front wheels loose all traction on icy patch! Traveling north on an old paved country road with a moderate crown and narrow lanes, i came upon a modest bluff that was just abrupt enough to keep me from seeing the road surface on the other side. Within 50' of the other side was blowing snow, some sticking and turning into ice. Air temp. 27 degrees. Don't know the surface temp, and it was sunny, nice. This patch was…

First issue is with the rear latch being useless sometimes depending on the weather as the molding is all melted and access to the trunk being impossible. Second and most important i've noticed the braking on this car is very very suspect. Purchased this vehicle around 6 months ago from westbury toyota and i've learned i need to apply my brakes at least a good 50 to 100 feet before the vehicle in front of me. Couple…

Breaking noise behind driver dashboard similiar to whirring or motor sound, comes on wether the brakes are pressed or not driving or stationary... Very bothersome, breaks also have bark sound at times when pressed down. Went to dealer and was dismissed as it being normal, called toyota and they are unwilling to work on a repair. Please advise

The brake actuator went out october of 2018. I took this car to be quoted for a part and the part and labor are $2500. This car is unsafe to operate without stopping power. This is not a rare problem for the toyota prius in 2007. I know that many other people complain about receiving the $2500 or higher bill of repair. Toyota should extend the warranty for this expensive repair. A battery repair is expected to…
