Vehicle brakes fails to stop and needs to push hard on brake paddle to stop the vehicle. Traction control light, abs, and brake lights come on. Took to autonation Toyota irvine in Dec. 2020 reporting the issue but the tech clear the codes and told me that nothing is wrong. The same light came back on and took to 3rd party shop and was informed code c1391,c1345 & c1368 reporting issue of a failed booster and booster pump. Customer support program zjd. I've been in contact with Toyota brand engagement to report the issue and regarding automation Toyota irvine clearing the codes after I took my vehicle to the shop for repairs. But dealer is not repairing the vehicle and the vehicle has been in the dealer shop since Jan 10, 2021. Reporting a issue with brake failure on my 2013 toytoa Prius.

Partial brake failure caused by faulty brake booster and actuator. Vehicle was in motionn on roadway when loss of braking suddenly happened.

Brake accumulator failure resulting in not being able to stop properly. Brakes began pulsating and making sounds under passenger seat. Electric pumping sound became more and more prominent over time. Brakes failed and warning lights came on, resulting in inability to stop properly, and hitting the curb in a parking lot. This is obviously a major issue with the Prius. Service manager admitted they see it all the time. When I asked why we were not notified in advance, they said a 'hidden warranty' existed, but you have to wait for the problem to happen. This problem happened twice in our 2005 Prius. Thank goodness we did not have any accidents as a result of the brake failure. Brakes are the most important system in a car, and without them, well, you can't stop. Please work with Toyota to notify owners of this dangerous defect in their Priuses from the year 2004 on.

I was driving on a busy city street and as I was approaching an intersection I stepped on the brake, but the brake failed. As I stepped on the brake pedal, the pedal went all the way down to the floor. I kept on hitting the brake but it was not working. My car was not stopping. The abs and slip indicator lights turned on. I was on a panic because I would be hitting other cars and possibly people because I was approaching an intersection. Luckily the traffic light turned green as I approached so I made the turn and still I was not stopping. The car was continuously moving. As I was approaching another intersection, I tried stepping on the parking brake, it decelerated but not stopping. Before it almost hit another car on the intersection, it stopped while I was stepping on the parking brake real hard with abated breath.

I was driving home in my 2013 Toyota Prius on Tuesday, December 29, 2015, at approximately 4:30p. M. While turning right from the street on which I live into my driveway, the car, after I applied the brakes, suddenly surged forward. In spite of continuously pushing down on the brakes, the car would not stop. The driveway shows skid marks from my attempts to stop the car. The car did not stop. The brakes failed. The car shot forward, crashing into the closed wooden garage door and the wall to the left of the garage door. The garage door broke and one half of the garage door split and was pushed into the garage. The garage door collapsed on my car as well as items stored in the garage including parts of the garage structure and large sections of a storage unit, which was bolted to the wall. Approximately 90% of my car was inside the garage. I tried to exit the car through the driver¿s side but the door would not open. I crawled to the trunk area and could not find a mechanical release for that door. Finally I forced opened the driver¿s side rear door and exited the car through the broken wall. If the brakes had not failed this would have not have happened. As a result of the brake failure, I have incurred substantial loss, including the garage door (a total loss), damage to structural support to the garage wall, a built-in garage storage unit, contents stored in the garage and substantial damage to the car. Fortunately, I did not suffer any major physical injuries, although following the collision I experienced and continue to experience muscle, joint, hip, neck and back pain and discomfort. In addition, I continue to experience emotional distress from this incident. I want Toyota to perform a complete diagnostic safety check of all systems including the brakes and any software that controls the braking system.
