I entered my parked, stationary prius, pressed my right foot on the brake pedal, disengaged the parking brake and pressed the on/off button to turn the car on. My foot remained on the brake pedal. The engine immediately raced and the car began to accelerate at high speed. I stomped on the brake pedal and the car kept moving. The sound of the engine was loud enough that people in nearby houses heard it. My car would…

Toyota sent me a letter stating the brake booster may cause issues with my car and all my lights came on for this issue. Toyota told me to take car to dealer for repair under new warranty extension for brake booster issues. Dealer is now telling me it's not covered so i need to pay for repairs. I asked what i'm paying for and they stated new brake booster. What's going on here??

At 41,000 the vehicle per a goodyear dealer advised that my front brakes were metal on metal. The caliber was also frozen and the brake line was leaking. The car was at the dealership on 3/7/19 with no mention of a need for repairs to the front brakes. Is there a general problem with bad brakes on toyota vehicles?

As i was driving our 2015 toyota prius at about 30 mph on a surface street and going straight, we came upon a metal construction plate over the roadway surface and the brakes were automatically applied to the vehicle. There were no vehicles directly in front of me within 100 feet. The vehicle did not come to a complete stop, but this sudden action could have caused a collision.

Was driving on the freeway at about 45 mph when i car abruptly changed lanes in front of me. I immediately slammed on the breaks but the car did not come to a complete stop. It kept going forwards and was not decelerating fast enough. To avoid hitting the car in front of me i had to swerve to the right, which immediately caused the esc to turn off and my car kept swerving.

The car turned completely on when i reached over to press the button. Not only did the engine start, but without anyone pressing on the breaks the car released itself from being parked. The car started rolling backwards…

I have noticed that the brakes sometimes do not appear to work properly, and once i was involved in an accident due to the poor braking performance. Once i quickly transitioned from throttle to full braking and the car didn't seem like it was applying full braking. It didn't seem to decelerate like it should have. I rear ended a vehicle because of the braking performance. Another time i had to slam on the brakes…

I was pulling out of a parking space where my front was up against a building with a car on either side of me. I reversed for about 25' where a telephone pole mandated that i make a k-turn to get out. As i switched from reverse to forward, i saw a spark as the car jet-propelled forward. I tried to break multiple times, but the car accelerated the 25' into the wall. All airbags deployed, and fluid gushed out of the…
