    Rear shock nut comes loose and toyota has issued tsb 0144-16, to tighten the nut. This is common among prius. This must be a recall otherwise it is dangerous if the shock become loose. Initially the dealer told me to replace shocks but fortunately i found out about tsb and the delear fixed it free.

    When breaking while traveling over bumps/ripples on the road or over rough road conditions such as potholes or roadwork, the vehicle feels as though the breaks are skipping or failing.
