Six problems related to abs brake fail have been reported for the 2007 Toyota Prius. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
My car has only 65,000 miles on it and the abs actuator has failed. Before getting it repaired, there were many instances when the braking power was significantly reduced. This is clearly a safety issue that Toyota is aware of, but not willing to repair. I am shocked that there has been no recall.
Abs actuator failure at only 64,000 miles. Potential for complete break failure if not immediately addressed. Toyota is aware of the issue as there is a TSB, but they are charging thousands of dollars for a repair for a safety critical item that is due to a manufacturing defect. This should be covered under a recall.
I was on my way to work navigating through busy traffic when the abs system failed in my vehicle. So basically my whole braking system failed, and I was had to drive my car to a stop which was extremely difficult since I had no brakes. I was a dangerous situation because it failed during heavy traffic. So, now, I am left with a vehicle with no brakes. It's not driveable because of this issue.
Well known abs accumulator failure, loud beeping noise, can't drive car safely, high mileage car and will be repairing it, my complaint is that the part is seventeen hundred dollars $1700 which is a lot for something as important as brakes and with such a high failure rate on all of Toyota's hybrids. This part needs to be available from 3rd parties so I am not forced to deal with junk yard abs that is just as likely to fail because of a flawed design.
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 brakes and asked that I give him the VIN. He said there had been an extended warranty to replace the abs brake controller assembly but it had expired some time ago. He said the cost to fix this would approximate $3500. Otherwise the car is in good shape and I would expect that I should have been able to drive it another 100,000 miles or perhaps much more. A typical american-made car with an abs failure will still brake normally - just not have the abs feature. The Prius will not! the Toyota service rep said it shouldn't be driven as it is too dangerous and my experience confirms the malfunction.
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.
