These noises where not seen before completely. I spoke to dealer mentioning a tsb pertaining to this particular issue in specific and was told nothing can be done until it fails completely, which is bad, as i have a family…

Brake accentuator failed - no warning and traction control/brake light/abs warning lights all illuminated. Hard breaking test @25 mph confirms abs not working (i.e. Tires skid) and breaking distance adversely impacted for normal braking. Hybrid system charging from braking is diminished.

Tested brake function in yard, reduced but still able to get car stopped. Took it to shop and read codes, came back as the actuator which is already recalled on previous year model pruis', obviously they did not fix the issue on the early gen 3 models…

My toyota prius warning lights brake,abs and traction control came on. I check with the dealer and it said my accumulator was leaking. This part alone is $2600 plus $500 in labor. My cat has 41,900 miles on it. This part is an obvious problem because the 09-10 models had a recall for this exact problem. Amazing that the same part excise in newer models but no recall. Especially because it's the most expensive part…

While driving at a slow speed, the traction control, brake and abs failure lights came on. When i attempted to stop the vehicle, the brake pedal went to the floor without actuating the abs system. I was unable to stop the vehicle using the service brakes. Since i was traveling at a low speed, i was able to slow down and come to a full stop using the parking brake. Now the vehicle is parked and undriveable. I…

Vehicle loses braking function while traveling over potholes, recessed manhole covers, and all other types of rough road surfaces. Braking function is delayed and does not return to previous power/braking strength after traversing the obstacle; this results in the need to depress the brake pedal further to re-engage enough braking function to stop the vehicle safely. Serious concern is that if the vehicle is under…
