My brakes have failed due to a faulty brake accumulator and brake booster on my 2010 toyota prius. i noticed this problem when attempting to come to a stop at a redlight. the brakes felt spongy and unresponsive. i narrowly missed colliding with the car in front of me by swerving onto the shoulder. toyota previously acknowledged this faulty part but claims that i missed the deadline by 35 days to get it fixed. the repair costs roughly $4,000 which toyota has refuse do to accept responsibility for. i cannot afford to fix this and believe that it is irresponsible for toyota to put their profits above the safety of its' customers. i do no this believe that it is ethical to put a deadline on a safety concern of this nature.
Hazard lights flashing when driving forward or reverse dependent on the speed of wheel rotation. i am told that my skid control ecu as well as the brake booster and pump are bad and need replacing. i keep reading about this issue, but toyota says it is not a broad issue. it is not clear what systems have failed or what risk there is in driving.
The night before, everything was working fine. the next day, i start my car up at 4pm-5pm, first time i started my car and i have new lights on my dashboard. the ebrake light, abs light, brake system light, and traction light. i release my ebrake and the ebrake light is still on. concered i checked the break fluid and the 12v battery and those were fine. drove the car around the block to see if there was an issue or if the lights were just on. the brakes were almost completely out the vehicle would only stop when i put my foot to the floor. i end up taking the vehicle to my local toyota dealership were after four hours of looking around, informed me that it was the brake actuator and the booster pump. which also came with a bill of $3000 to fix it.
Vehicle actuator brake pump assembly making squeaking barking noises when the brake is pressed down and held down the brake pumps back at me. i took to toyota they charged me for running codes and two brake bleeds. agknowledged that it's the break actuator pump assembly that is a extended warrenty but will not fix and charged me because the warning light system is not coming on. this should be a recall not an extended warrenty. my brakes bark and push back every time i brake. this doesn't seem safe to drive on the freeway and not good if an accident incurs because i had to wait until my brakes didn't work. please make a recall and not just an extended warrenty.
Brake/abs and stability system failure. possible actuator or accumulator. touota knows there is a fault and hides behind a software update. system fails and causes unreliable braking with increased force to apply the brakes. brakes apply so hard at times the rear passengers heads hit the rear seat.
I was making a left turn, creeping into a parking space, in a residential area. when i pressed the brake pedal to stop the car, the car accelerated instead. i then slammed on the brakes and the car accelerated again, causing me to go over the curb, over the sidewalk and knock down a fence and shed. i turned the vehicle off, some kind bystanders took the debris off the car so that i could get out. i then called police and the property owner, as well as my insurance company. i am honestly scared to drive the car again, as i do not want this unintended acceleration to happen again. i will be notifying toyota, and the repair shop working on my car has already been informed.
While driving back from running errands my car's lights on the dashboard started to come on and noises started to start happening. i was lucky i was only a few streets away from my house so i decided to drive back home. the break was really hard to press. the brake felt like it was a rock and hard to press. i drove with my hazards on unsure of what could happen while driving. there was something wrong and the car started to beep and i was worried the car might fail to brake so i started to drive very slowly. the brakes were so hard to press. i took my car to toyota the next day and they said there was a defect with my brakes. they had the vehicle for a few days and returned to me saying it was fixed. needless to say this was a very scary situation to be in. i drive a lot. if i had been further away from my home this would have put me in a very dangerous position. i could've been stranded or drove on the freeway in this condition unsure of what was happening. my car could've stopped braking, ...
Brake failure and car went up curb, knocked down stair rail, hit tree and turned over on side
All brake, abs, and traction control lights came on. checked abs code and received c1391. mechanic can here the actuator continuously running and believe the pump/actuator is bad. i have seen this recalled on 2010 made between march 2009, and october 2009. my manufacture date is sept 2010. vehicle was in motion when the lights came on. the car became hard to stop and regenerative braking is no longer working.

Even though the break pads are new, the breaks are not working at all when vehicle is in motion. they do not feel tight. the vehicle looses stability in curves at a low speed ( slips) and keeps moving even when breaks are pushed to the end. all the break lights are on. there are several recalls regarding the breaks of this vehicle year 2010 and none applies to the vehicle vin number. it it not reliable at all in the highway. in order to brake the speed must be very slow and the distance must be way more than normal
Even though the breaks seem fine, the electric break system does work at all. all lights are on and the breaks pedals feels loose. when i push the breaks the vehicle keeps going. the abs warning light is on as well as all the other lights regarding to breaks and stability mechanisms.
Loud screeching noise and vibration at brake pedal. abs brake and traction lights all lit up along with beeping. has happened sporadically over last 2 years. have owens car 5 yes. approx 120,000 miles. when the brake noise and all lights appear on dash very low braking ability. happens when driving or staring car. on 6/6 lights and braking failed and do not turn off. took to service at toyota dealer & tech says $3000 plus for repairs. possible leak in abs pump??
Started car one morning, immediately noticed the 'abs', 'brake', and 'traction control' warning lights were on simultaneously. took the car for a drive around the corner, and immediately noticed brakes were very soft and unresponsive. pedal literally sinks to the floor while air can be heard leaking from the system/pedal. . also noticed the brakes no longer recharge the system, and they also feel jerky at times. i checked the brake fluid reservoir, and noticed fluid was halfway between max and low. perhaps a leak somewhere in the system? i contacted my local toyota dealer and will have them take a look at it on 05/10/2019 according to some research i conducted, this is a known issue in the 2010/2011 models. supposedly, over time, vibrations can actually crack the line(s) feeding into the brake master cylinder, and thus resulting in this fault. toyota should definitely be more communicative about these issues. i have owned this car for 4 years, and have never heard of this before. currently not driving the car at the moment, as i do not feel safe
The abs/brake light/ slip inidicator warning triangle on & off. my 2010 toyota prius ii has 153k mile. this has gone on/off for a few weeks now. the brake seems to loose the hydraulic power brake. i feel like the brakes have failed a few times while driving at higher speeds. i have to pump brake and vehicle begins to brake on 2nd pump. i've had to triple my stopping distance as to not rear anyone. i went to autoshop, they said it's the brake actuator/sensors that need to be replaced and it's expensive $2-3k. they said it need to be fix soon because brake might fail at any time. i called camelback toyota, phoenix, az, ed in service dept said there is no safety recall for this even though they know it has been a common problem with priuses . i checked vehicle repair history looks like abs programming was flashed back in 2/11/2010, when vehicle was still on the manufacturer, 3 miles. i have not fixed yet. please research this issue further for safety reasons. i do not want to kill anyone when brakes will eventually fail.
