A similar youtube video and my personal video explain sudden loss of brake power or pressure. . . After lights go on. And immediately return to normal after lights get reset. Sensor failure leading to brake failure, really scary and obviously a big problem toyot should still be responsible for. Consumer service program by Toyota for this brale booster issue stopped for some reason in 2019 also. 150k bs rule. Mercedes benz has taken the right action to fixing brake booster issues.

On August 28,2020 we were driving in heavy rain for 1 1/2 hrs to fayetteville. Our brake abs and engine light came on. We assumed the lights would go off, when we did not drive it doing the night, but next morning it came back on. We carried to mechanic shop today sept. 1, 2020. They could not read any errors and said need to carry in to a Toyota dealer. We have not set up apt. Just left vm. Hopefully they will call us back today.

I was driving down the highway at about 70 mph when the break light, abs light, and tire light all came on accompanied by a high pitch beeping. As I attempted to pull over the breaks were almost completely unresponsive. When I contacted Toyota about the issue they let me know it was a problem they were aware of the issue but didn't believe that having your breaks go out was grounds for a recall. I was almost involved in a high speed crash without the ability to stop because of this.

I was at highway speed when four annunciator lights illuminated on the dash (master warning, brake system warning light, abs warning light, slip indicator). I decelerated vehicle using engine power then applied brakes. Brake pedal depressed approx. 3/4 travel (much further than normal) before braking action felt. I stopped vehicle, recycled power and warning lights remained illuminated and brake responsiveness was unchanged. Upon reaching destination, I downloaded error code (c1391) then called local Toyota service center. Informed that enhanced warranty letter zjb addressed this issue, however coverage expired 6 weeks ago. Service center directed me to Toyota customer care. Toyota customer care confirmed that the repair coverage had recently expired and they were not able to offer any assistance whatsoever. Due to the global pandemic, my driving had been severely curtailed since March. Now July, a required work trip led to this malfunction. This issue should be classified as a recall and not a warranty with an expiration. A major, flee-wide braking issue should require the manufacturer to repair.

Abs warning light indicating trouble with the braking system, I took the car to an independent auto repair store and the mechanic checked the codes on his computer and received 2 codes that indicating that the abs pump needs to be replaced. The total cost would be between $3000 to $5000. The abs light goes on when I start the car.

The contact owns a 2010 Toyota Prius. The contact stated that upon starting the vehicle, the brakes warning light, abs warning light and several other warning lights illuminated. The contact took the vehicle to Toyota of santa barbara located at 5611 hollister Ave, goleta, CA 93117, (833) 779-4500) to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the brake booster assembly needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 116,000.

Abs warning light are now on. Feel car is losing break capability. No accident but do not feel confident with the brake capacity. Today I took the car to the dealer and they stated that the abs actuator assembly (code c1391) need to be replace. Looking in the internet and it looks a very common defect for Prius. This is a Prius 2006 with 163. 000 miles. Toyota know about this, extended warranty, but I am out out this extension. But this system should property work for the life of the car.

Vehicle brake actuator continuously pumping and running even when vehicle is off or stopped, abs lights can light up under moderate braking on dry roads. Earlier generations of the Prius had similar issues and Toyota added an extended warranty to cover a rather expensive repair that could compromise the safety of the vehicle. There is a well known issue with this braking system when reading further on Toyota Prius forums.

Brake, traction control, tire pressure, abs lights all come on while driving. Took to shop. Claims it's the brake booster/ actuator problem. Customer support program.

My 2012 Prius v is only 90k miles. Starting from about 2 weeks ago, the warning lights including brake system warning light, abs warning light and slip indicator light were suddenly lit on when I was driving, then I found the regenerate brake become very hard and difficult to stop which was malfunctioning. These warning lights were kept on all the time when I drive the car. The car threw out code c1391 when given a diagnosis. After some online work, I found this is a very common problem for Prius v. I went to the dealership however the dealership states that my car, based on its VIN, is not in one of the certain cars covered by zjb phase 2 which covers brake booster and brake booster pump assemblies for certain 2011-2015 model year Prius vehicles. The failure of the brake could be a deadly deficiency to all the people in the car when driving. Now I have to think to stop using this car because of the severe security risk. Toyota should take action to solve all this problem for all involved cars, not certain cars. My car is made in 2012, the diagnosis code c1391 given by my car are falling into one of the four codes associated with the brake problem covered by zjb phase 2. It is ridiculous that my car was not issued this extended warranty.

Own a 2013 Prius v. Noticed about 5 times over past 2 years-when car starts after sitting overnight (12 hours) and put into gear, car will roll back while foot is depressed on brake. After a few feet of rolling and pumping brakes, car will stop. No injuries or damage sustained as car was in flat carport. Over past 6 months, braking while at low speeds (less than 5 mph), produced a rhythmic jerking type of stop. Dealership diagnosed problem as needing replacement of brake booster pump and master booster assembly. Drove car without repair for 1. 5 more months when abs warning lights came on while on the freeway. Stopping distance greatly increased and need to press the brake down hard was a significant difference. Wrote to Toyota headquarters as well as local servco which is the main Toyota/Lexus/Subaru dealer in hawaii. They declined to my request to repair the defect at no charge stating car is not covered under the zjb customer support program that Toyota already has in place for 2010-2015 Prius and Prius plug in (but not the Prius v). Dealer states the zjb program is a "courtesy" for those covered vehicles. This is a defective part that Toyota and servco knowingly sold to the consumer-it is a consumer safety issue.

My 2012 Prius v with only 55,000 miles. Abs lights came on and buzzing sound every 3 seconds from just in front of steering column. Toyota dealer charged $270 for computer diagnostic then gave me a parts and labor estimate for replacing brake booster and master cylinder of $4400!!! independent mechanic can order parts from another Toyota dealer in mainland us for $1400 less than the $3200 that dealer in hawaii quoted and labor for much less. But still will be costing me about $2500. Searched recall sites and regular 2012 Prius models had recalls for exactly the same issue but no recall on 2012 Prius v brakes?.

My car spontaneously started showing the abs system warning light, the "brake" light, and the electronic stability control indicator light without warning while parked. As soon as this happened and I put it in motion, the car began responding poorly to braking, with increased pressure and lack of responsiveness. Additionally, the car is receiving barely any battery charge from the brakes (a small amount compared to the normally full charge), and a whirring noise can be heard about every 3 seconds ( the same whirring noise that occurs when the car is starting up, which I think may be related to the battery). This issue happened while the car was at rest, and affects the car while in motion and at rest. The car feels unsafe to drive due to unpredictability with the brakes and their effectiveness. I believe this issue may be associated with the brake actuator.

I was driving down the street, all of a sudden my abs lights came on with a loud hi pitched alarm noise, and when I came up to the next stoplight and pressed on my brakes, there was virtually no brakes so I had to stand on the brake pedal to get the car to stop in time. Fortunately I often pump my brakes so noticed they were not working. I have investigated the issue and have found it is a faulty brake pump accumulator. Upon checking the cost to replace is $2800. Ridiculous. I learned of an extended warranty and many complaints on this issue by searching on the internet. I never received the letter or was notified of this defective part by Toyota.

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.

When driving my 2006 Prius I am unable to stop properly. The brakes go all the way down but it hesitates to stop I get a loud peeping and the abs lights are coming on. I almost hit another car while driving and the brakes are good. I was told that there was a warranty on this vehicle that deals with the abs system. The warranty has expired and Toyota is price gauging to fix it, can someone look into this because it is a safety concern and Toyota knows about this issue but wont work with people to fix it?.

I having a problem with the brake booster on my Prius and the Toyota dealership I went to said I need to replace both the master cylinder and booster pump which would be 3000 dollars worth of parts and labor. After research this issue I have found serval people have the same issue. Also the parts are on back order, showing you how big of issue this is. The breaking system felt spongy, my traction control braking system and abs lights came on. Thankfully I had just a couple of feet to my driveway.

Experienced what appears to be a common malfunction of the abs system. Went over a regular road bump on a city street, nothing drastic, while braking. Immediately after, the traction control, brake, and abs lights came on solid. There was still some braking available, but it required much more force and pedal travel to achieve the same level of braking as before. This could be very dangerous if someone then needed to stop suddenly. I was able to drive home. Found some forums on line about this problem, which appears to be widespread. Using a paperclip, I was able to �reset� the system, clearing the warning lights and reestablishing abs and regenerative braking. . . But only for a short while. Later in the day, the same malfunction occurred, with the same warning lights appearing, loss of abs and regen braking.

The car has been suffering all of the brake symptoms for the recall of the 2010 Prius brake booster system. I've repeatedly complained about losing braking power when the abs light comes on when I go over uneven surfaces such as railroad tracks or a pothole. The brakes have benn farting from day one while sitting at a light or parked if the brakes are depressed and then slightly released. And now today the abs brakes are on with the battery light and there is limited braking power. I have to push almost all the way down before the brake engages. Toyota tells me I need to replace the brake booster system for $3500 and there are only 70,000 miles on my 2012 car. I feel my brakes have the same issues as the 2010 recall and more years including mine are affected and should be recalled.

I was driving on the highway at 70 mph and suddenly my braking system failed. I had no braking and had to use the manual foot brake to slow. Abs light and red triangle came on. I entered into a construction zone so was unable to pull to the shoulder. I restarted my car and drove home without brakes. I took the vehicle to Toyota and spent $2,500 to fix since the warranty on the actuator ended in 2017. This should be recalled and I should be refunded as this is a dangerous risk and is still happening to many 05 Priuses still on the road.

The brake actuator started making frequent noise. The abs warning light and beeps immediately after starting the car. The clanking or humming noise during braking.

Tl- the contact owns a 2008 Toyota Prius. The contact stated that when the vehicle was turned on, the break made a noise and the abs light illuminate. The contact called the charles Toyota (860-889-8375, located at 500 w thames st, norwich, CT 06360) and was told that there was no recall. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and was told that the extended warranty expired. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 108,000. Fe.

Abs lights on ,tracks warning lights on and vsc lights on . Its a serious problem. Toyota should fix it . Toyota should own its problem.

Driving at approximately 35 mph noticed a burning smell. After driving for another 5 minutes an alarm went off and abs warning light came on. The brake actuator on this car has begun to fail. This is common on the 2004 - 2009 Prius. Very expensive to fix. Over $3000 at the dealer. The alarm can be reset and the car driven again leading to a dangerous brake failure while driving.

Brake actuator pump runs constantly and sounds like a barking seal when sitting at a red light. High-pitched warning beep and lack of normal braking ability for the first 30 seconds after start-up. Brake and abs warning lights are active on the dash.

The car brakes failed at low speeds (10-15 mph) and bumped into the car in front in a stop-and-go traffic on the wet freeway after a recent rain. The brake pedal went all the way down to touch the floor, as if the brake pedal was disengaged from the braking system and the abs light did not turn on at the time of braking. The car was driving in the straight line and immediately before this I was able to successfully brake the car on the very same trip. So the problem is intermittent. This is the second time with this car, as my spouse also experienced the similar brake failure at even lower speeds (<10 mph) resulting in touching the car in front and minor scratch on the bumper. It was a dry day then and almost similar circumstances. Associated geico claim number is 0423477190101054. We opened a case with Toyota to check the data recorder. Associated Toyota case number is 181112370.

My car only had 120k miles and the break boostor and actuator breaks down while we were on the road. My wife drives the car with my 3-childrens. She was almost hit the other car on highway because the breaks system stops working at normal mode. The dash board shows all kinds of break, traction control, and abs lights . This is a life threatning issue and toyot needs to replace this part with no charge becasue it has a manufacturing defects and thousands of Prius owner has the same issu.

Intermittently, several warning lights come on at once while driving: traction control, brake, and abs lights. While on, braking is lessened, brakes feel spongy, and the battery generation indicator shows no energy being produced. I found several similar complaints online. For me, the problem has comes and goes, affecting about 50 percent of my driving time.

While driving, attempted to press brake which went to the floor and all abs warning lights came on immediately. I was forced to quickly press down the parking brake to stop the vehicle. There were no warning signs that the braking system was damaged or faulty. Luckily, I was able to stop before damage to propert or human injury occurred. After taking the vehicle to the dealership to be assessed, we were informed that the brake actuator system has failed. Toyota is aware of this potential problem with the Prius as they offered an extended warranty covering it. Unfortunately, we were never notified of the potential problem or warranty and are now �outside of the parameters� to have if repaired by Toyota. The warranty extension expired appx. 10 months ago. After researching several reputable sources, it is apparent that this is a significant safety issue on a defect that Toyota is aware of however no recall has been issued as of yet. How many crashes, injuries &/or deaths will have to occur before something is done? this is not a �normal wear and tear problem�. This is a mechanical failure with no warning that could be disastrous for the owners of these vehicles.

The traction control, abs light and warning light all came which I believe all to be a safety issue.

Abs lights stay on; took to dealer. Told actuator problem and brakes could go out at any time but out of warranty and never recalled despite known problem. Cost of repairs nearly exceeds auto value. No accident or injury as yet.

Abs lights came on as I started the car and warning signals also. The vehicle was in a parking lot as I was preparing to drive when the signals came on. Here they are: brake, (!) abs, vsc.
