Tl the contact owned a 2010 Toyota Prius. The contact stated that while her husband was driving at 40 mph, the vehicle in front suddenly stopped, the brake pedal was depressed however it failed to engage causing him to rear end the other vehicle. The contact mentioned that her husband was already depressing the brake pedal when they completely failed. The air bags did not deploy. The contact stated that the front seat passenger in the other vehicle was transported to the hospital by ambulance due to feeling nauseous. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to auto body repair facility where it was awaiting inspection by the insurance company. The contact stated that the vehicle was a possible total loss aas the radiator and engine was damaged. The vehicle had been serviced at clearwater Toyota (21799 us hwy 19 n, clearwater, FL 33765 800-667-905) for a brake issue. The dealer refused to repair the brakes under an extended warranty due to an incorrect consistent failure code. The manufacturer stated that the sensor was not alerting enough for the repairs to be covered. The failure mileage was 200,000.

Since purchasing the vehicle in October, 2017, I have had intermittent occurrences where the brakes feel like they slip when coming to a stop. It has happened in all weather conditions, (but mostly when wet), and at all speeds. I can go weeks without an occurrence, and then it can happen several times in a week. It seems to be completely random. I have been to two dealerships, and finally was able to drive with a tech who felt the "slippage". They kept the car for a few days and told me they talked to corporate and that a bump in the road triggers an abs sensor to fire, causing the abs to kick in. They also told me tire pressure might affect it. None of this sits right with me because it continues to happen. I have experienced driving a car when abs kicks in, and this is not the sensation I am getting in the Prius. "slipping" is the best adjective I have to explain what it feels like, and when it happens it is terrifying. The last time I took the car in to have them look at the brakes again, I was told that since corporate had been contacted previously, they would have to go back to them. They didn't keep the car, and told me they would call me back when the corporate rep would be there so he could drive with me. That was a few weeks ago, and they haven't called back, or returned my call. At this point, I feel like Toyota is hiding something from me and I have lost all trust in the brand. I feel like I am driving an unsafe car and Toyota is ignoring everything I am saying to them.

Tl the contact owns a 2013 Toyota Prius. While driving approximately 50 mph and attempting to stop the vehicle, the driver depressed the brake pedal and the front end of the vehicle began to swerve and vibrate. The ecu sensor indicator illuminated and the brakes failed. The driver was unable to immediately stop the vehicle. The vehicle eventually stopped in the middle of a busy intersection. The vehicle was driven directly to allen jay Toyota (40 us hwy 27 north, seabring, FL) who initially was unable to determine the cause of the failure. After retrieving the vehicle, the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the ecu was faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified and no solution was offered. The VIN was not available. The failure mileage was 90,000.
In Feb 2018 I noticed that several lights came on in my car the vsc, abs, and pressure sensor light lit up. Also the brake indicator light. I had recently went for and inspection on my car in Jan and had brakes replaced at my local monroe prior to this happening so I questioned them on what all the lights meant and they looked on line and saw that there was a recall on the brake actuator for my car. They advised me to go to the Toyota dealer. I went to the dealer in a few weeks later in Mar and they explained that there was a letter sent to Prius owners stating they extended the warranty on brake actuators until end of 2017. They have it in two phases, and it's unlimited miles until Dec 2017 for the first phase, then after that it's 150k miles/10 years. It also says the red triangle light must be on for it to be covered (in other words, it's only covered if it fails. ) I never received this letter and the exceed the 150k miles by 5k and years. The csr rep said he would she if they could honor it being that it was so early in the 2018 year only a few months pass the deadline but the manager on site declined and told me to contact Toyota customer care. The dealer quoted me $3,500. 00 to get this replaced. I contacted Toyota and of course they said there is nothing they could do because the letter stipulated a specific time frame of service. My issue is that I #1 never received a letter about this recall/extended warranty #2 I brought this car at a dealer certified pre-owned Toyota dealer so they should of updated my info in the system (address, ex. ) #3 my car is a electrical car and needed this fix to operate properly. . . I feel like I'm being punished about a defect undisclosed to me which now is a hefty cost. #4 my issue happen 2-3 months after still not far off. I'm filing a complaint in hopes of finding help to resolve this issue. .

Over the past year and over 15,000 miles our 2016 Toyota Prius four touring has experienced sudden displays of warning messages and lights reporting braking power low - visit your dealer; braking power low - stop in a safe place - see owner's manual; pre-collision system malfunction - visit your dealer; anti-lock brake system malfunction - visit your dealer; lane departure alert malfunction - visit your dealer; ics malfunction - visit your dealer; check cruise control system - visit your dealer. The following codes/faults have been detected: abs - c1403, c1407, c1415; parking sensors - c164d, c1a50; blind spot monitor - c1a45; blind spot monitor slave - c1a45; pre-collision system 2 - c1a50; lane-keeping assist 2 - c1a50; ecu - p157800 & cruise ecu - p157800. The warning messages/lights came and went while driving on both city streets and highways. Each time I took the vehicle to the dealer. They could see the codes in memory, but could not replicate the problem. No parts were replaced. The only thing they have done is to take apart and reseat some of the connector cables and then send us on our way telling us to bring it back in if it happens again. We are seriously concerned about the safety of this vehicle and have no reassurance that the problem has been resolved and no reassurance that major braking systems might not be available to me if it occurs again. I contacted Toyota customer assistance with no change in their position. I am currently negotiating to trade the vehicle in as I am not comfortable that the problem is resolved and deeply concerned that it will happen again. I have shared video of the warning messages and lights with the dealer, but am unable to upload video here.

I applied brake on a red light which is as usual for me and I noticed car didn't slow down and kept moving past the red light. It has happened before and the it happens on uneven and even on minor potholes. The brakes on the small bumps and minor uneven roads completely loose traction of the tires and car even faster with the brakes on when trying to stop over minor uneven roads. Mechanic said it's oversensitive anti locking brakes that cut off the brake power even when it detects minor disturbance in the sensors.
Every once in a while - it can be months between events - our Prius momentarily slams on the brakes when driving at highway speeds while nothing else is going on. We know it's not operator error. It's happened to my wife several times and me once. When it happened to me I was driving straight ahead on a dry, lightly traveled divided highway during the day. Everything on the dashboard lights up, alarms go off, the car decelerates like I suddenly stomped on the brake pedal though my foot never moved off of the gas, it lasts for maybe a second and then the car is back to normal. It's the same each time it's happened. Luckily each time this has happened we haven't had anyone tailgating us. We've taken it to the dealer multiple times. The first couple of times they looked at us like we were loony. They checked it out and we got it back with a message that said the technician checked the computer and test drove it for 20 miles and the car was operating as designed. Except it happened again. We finally convinced them that this was maybe a legitimate issue and they said they brought in a Toyota field specialist who checked the car out and they said that the issue was the pcs wave radar sensor that was slightly out of alignment due to body damage (my wife had hit a small deer about a year prior to that - damage was minor and repaired at a local body shop). After they realigned the sensor, the car behaved itself for about five months. Until yesterday when it happened again.

Our Prius was burglarized while parked. The side window was smashed, purse stolen along with electronic key. Vehicle was towed by gieco's body repair agent, brighton auto repair (4 days later-unknown to us). Vehicle was taken to camelback Toyota where they replaced and programmed key. They also initiated and performed recalls. The vehicle was returned with brake failure warning light activated. Camelback toy. Said the bulb was burned. When asked if they replaced it or removed the dash, they said no. The vehicle would slam us forward every time we pressed the brakes. Toyota camelback returned our vehicle with 14 sensors burned. To this day, we have to use both feet to stop the vehicle. They refused to repair the damage caused by their repair techs. They said recalls were performed until they found out our vehicle had a salvage title. All work was stopped at the steering column (where most brake sensors are located). To this day gieco, brighton and camelback Toyota refuse to repair our vehicle. Everyday we place our lives in danger because of their faulty repairs and damage they caused. No one seems to care even after I filed with bbb. Please let us know if you can be of assistance. It is our daily driver and we do not have the money to repair all the sensors they burned and the damage to our brake system (over 3500. 00 in damage. When the vehicle was burglarized, the brakes were in perfect working condition. Now we have to tolerate a continuous loud beeping sound and brakes with no hydraulic power booster or abs. Sometimes we have to use both feet to stop the vehicle.
I own a 2012 Prius with the technology package, including radar adaptive cruise control. I believe these same radar sensors are also used to detect imminent collisions in front of the vehicle, even when cruise control mode is not engaged. About a month ago, while driving north on interstate 5 in downtown seattle at approximately 60 miles per hour, and without cruise control engaged, my Prius went into "imminent collision mode" despite the fact that there was nothing in front of me -- no vehicles, no debris, no obstructions. Before slamming on the brakes, my seat belt was "tightened" and the brakes were automatically applied at full force, even without my foot touching the brake. This was incredibly jarring and disturbing, and could have been a serious accident if there was a vehicle behind me. Fortunately, there was no vehicle behind me at this time. After about two seconds of full braking, the vehicle "disengaged" collision mode and allowed me proceed and return to speed. I called the Toyota of seattle dealership and spoke to their service department. They were unaware of this issue, and suggested that I bring the vehicle in for servicing. They confirmed there were no outstanding recalls on the vehicle. They told me it would cost at least $100 for a basic diagnostic, and if sensors had to be replaced, it could cost hundreds or even thousands of dollars. Because I am currently unemployed and looking for work, I did not bring my vehicle into the service center. I feel this is Toyota's obligation to fix, and shouldn't require me spending money out of pocket. I would like some kind of response from Toyota on this issue. I have avoided using the radar cruise control since this moment, but the fact that it occurred while not in this mode makes me feel that the car could "take control" at any moment and cause an accident. Thanks, ryan.

The abs braking system in this car is overly sensitive. This does not happen often, but it has happened enough over the past three years that I can clearly predict when it will happen again. If you are slowing down moderately say for a traffic light, on a dry road, but one that is in need of repaving (no pot holes, but just a rough surface), and if you are on a road that is going slightly downhill, the abs braking system kicks in without a need. This causes your foot to sink briefly to the floor (on the brake pedal) and give the feeling of a loss of braking for a few seconds. The brake pads are fine (even with such high mileage, I still have over 70% of the original brake pads left). I have brought this to the attention of my Toyota dealer, who says everything is fine. The scenario described above might only happen once every few weeks, but both my wife and I have had this happen numerous times. I believe it is a software issue, perhaps related to overly sensitive sensors, perhaps in the rear of the car.
While slowing our 2005 Prius to make a turn into a parking lot the brakes failed to respond normally. Warning lights came on to indicate the abs/vsc had a problem. Took it to a repair shop to have it diagnosed, driving it to the shop was hazardous, very touchy and scary to drive. They said it needed a computer assembly, skid control and stroke sensor assembly to repair the problem. Over $2000 in parts alone. Considering my options now. Sell and never buy Toyota again would be one option. If this had happened at highway speed and we needed to slow or stop quickly we may have had an accident! (issue not covered by warranty) issues like labels for tire loads covered, ridiculous!.

Tl- the contact owns a 2005 Toyota Prius. The contact stated while traveling an unspecified speed the brakes had been applied, failed and the contact crashed into the rear of another vehicle. The air bags did not deploy. The contact sustained injuries to the chest, a leg gash and a pulled muscle in the back. The passenger sustained whiplash. A police report was filed. The sensor indicated to put the vehicle on a flat surface intermittently which caused the contact to have to restart the vehicle multiple times. The key was stuck in the ignition multiple times. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 65,000. Dyd.
Around 4:30pm on Saturday afternoon, we opened the car door to run some errands and were startled by a piercing noise. The dashboard was lighting up (abs & vsc) and although the car started, the dashboard remained lit and the beeping continued. When driving the car to the dealership, the brakes did not brake fully. After a $58 diagnostic test, we were told that acc pressure sensor needed to be cleared and if we returned with the same problem, we may need to replace a "brake actuator part" (cost = $2,560). Before this incident, on Saturday afternoon, we drove the car on the interstate for about 150 miles. For the last 15 minutes of our trip, we were driving through heavy rains on the interstate and on side roads. We did not experience any problems when driving the car in the rain, but are wondering whether or not the water affected the brakes.
Pulled out of parking lot, started accelerating, went to hit brakes and brakes failed. Brake pedal travel was more than normal, started pulsing brakes. Dashboard lights came on (not sure which ones). Problem also occurred in September 2011, and Toyota reset the "brake stroke sensor" charged us for this work, and recommended replacing the sensor (~500). Dealership stated this was not covered under warranty due to over three years. Even though it was a safety issue, they did not replace sensor at that time.
Brakes on 2005 Toyota Prius started intermittently acting up about a year ago, after six years of no problems. Observed symptoms were extreme jerkiness of brake operation despite constant pressure on brake pedal. Symptoms observed at any speed, but especially noticeable at slow speeds (coming to a final stop, such as at a traffic light, or in reverse backing out of driveway). When applying brakes at highway speeds, jerkiness felt like alternate over braking / under braking. Symptoms were quite scary the first times it happened. Had personal mechanic check out brakes. Test drive confirmed problem, but he was unable to find anything wrong with hydraulic brake system. Since problem was intermittent, we decided to see what happened. Problem continued intermittently, gradually increasing in frequency to the point in the last month where it was happening much more often than not. Took car to Toyota dealer for diagnosis. Problem was not evident on day of service. They checked computer for stored error codes, and found none. Rear brake drums showed slight wear and were out of adjustment, so drums were cleaned and turned and brakes adjusted. No difference in observed behavior; by end of the next day, jerky behavior noted as bad as it had ever been. Took car back to dealer. They replaced the stroke sensor even though there was no stored error code. This appears to have fixed the problem, since there has been no recurrence of problem in a week or driving since repair. Brakes feel totally normal again, for the first time in a year. Note on diagnosis procedure: the dealer seemed to initially discount my detailed, written description of the problem, and reacted only to their observations. While understandable, it is frustrating to the owner and could lead to a serious problem not getting fixed. I feel that the symptoms as described to them pointed directly to the stroke sensor and it should have been replaced on that basis.
With less than 45,000 miles of easy driving (and all maintenance performed on a timely basis at the dealership) on a single-owner Toyota 2005 Prius, the warning lights on the car's dashboard suddenly illuminated, which an out-of-town dealership interpreted to mean failure of the "skid control ecu". This part controls all major braking functions, including conventional brake control, regenerative brake cooperative control, abs, enhanced vsc and handles sensor information eps ecu and hv ecu. If occurring on a major CA highway, like us highway 5 and the "grapevine", this warning and failure can be a very serious and unexpected driving hazard. Repairs costs nearly $2,000 and this part must be "ordered" by a dealership and take 4 -5 hours to repair once the part is delivered overnight or longer. Toyota already is recalling this "skid control ecu" part on all 2002 -2003 sequoia passenger vehicles. Toyota does not consider this a defect on the Prius, and offers no recall or help to any of its Prius customers; to them it is simply a "(bad) luck of the draw" situation, tough luck for the Prius driver-owner with this defect.
We own a 2004 Toyota Prius and have been very pleased with it until it recently experienced a sudden brake failure. After stopping at a rest stop and preparing to return to the interstate, my wife experienced a complete brake failure as she drove the vehicle in reverse from the parking area. She then drove the vehicle forward to get it out of the traffic lane and continued to not have brakes. The vehicle was towed to amarillo, TX where the Toyota dealer repaired the vehicle by replacing the stroke sensor (scanned system code c1247).

On 20 may 2010 at 11,966 miles every brake/stability warning light came on (including the warning for the parking/emergency brake which was not engaged), regenerative braking appeared to have failed, and hydraulic/friction brakes behaved as if abs was acting at a very slow pulse rate, approximately a 5-second cycle. For about 2 seconds during the "off" portion of this cycle the brakes were effectively inoperative, with the parking/emergency brake the only source of braking. This behavior persisted after shutting down and restarting the car. The dealer's service department reported that three errors had been logged: c1247 - stroke sensor c1300 - abs ecu malfunction c2318 - low voltage error resetting the computers cleared the warning indications and restored normal brake system behavior. At my behest, the dealer worked with Toyota engineering to identify why a low voltage would cause a computer failure which could cause substantial loss of braking ability. They kept the car for 8 days but did not appear to complete any sort of root cause analysis of the failure. On 17 December 2012 at 27,324 miles the brakes again failed with the same set of warning lights illuminated. This time, abs does not appear to be active at all. For the first 2-5 cm of brake pedal travel, in the regime where regenerative braking would be active, no braking is evident. As the pedal is further depressed, the hydraulic/friction brakes abruptly engage. Pressing harder does result in increased braking though braking is rough. No pulsation as might be expected from abs was noticed. No attempt was made to brake hard enough to lock up the brakes. The vehicle is currently at the dealer.
At 15 mph and braking, brakes disengage for less than one second after hitting a road imperfection (an old metal and rubber sensor placed about 10 or 15 feet from crosswalk) that is perpendicular to driving direction. At 35 mph, brakes disengage when braking and crossing a bridge/overpass connector plate.
The braking issues that I have experienced for the 2007 Prius within months of buying the vehicle are the same issues that are currently being reported for the 2010 Prius. I have a Prius with traction control. There are two things with the traction control that happen on a regular basis living in st. George, utah. One is when I come out of a parking lot that has the steep dip for water control the traction control system misfires on dry, clean surfaces and in many cases leaves me dead on the road for a few seconds in which the car will not move at all. This also happens when I drive on roads where there is a drainage lid in the middle of the road, and I am actually not attempting to brake. The second is when I brake. If there is any rough or uneven surfaces, bumps, or dirt roads, I have to anticipate that the braking system will fail and/or I will have to quickly pump the brakes and leave extra braking room. I have not taken the vehicle to Toyota because having had a 1999 tacoma whose brakes would fail on a regular basis to the point, for which they continually replaced sensors, I sold it after I had it less then one year, I don't expect Toyota to do anything about it. I just drive differently. The speeding out of control, for me, only occurs when I have cruise control on. Many times when I press on the brake the car actually speeds up with a jerk or I will look down at my speed and cruise control will have increased it by 10 or 15 mph.
Even when new, only when braking on a bumpy surface, my 2008 Toyota Prius will reduce braking power all by itself, when I need them the most. When I press into the brake pedal, it will brake again, but by this time I will have lost 1 second of braking time. Recently on Jan 20th, I almost hit the person in front of me when I had to panic-brake, and the road became bumpy as I was braking. By pressing the brake harder after 1 second lost, I barely stopped in time. I never brought this to the dealer's attention, until two weeks ago, because I know this car has hyper-active wheel-slip sensors, and I just thought it was part of that design flaw. That problem comes up whenever I try to accelerate hard and make a right turn. Even on dry pavement (and no wheel slip) the engine cuts out for about 3 seconds and the traction control light comes on. When it was new, the dealer said that's just the way it's designed. But that's not what I'm complaining about. That's just why I didn't report it until now. Back to the brakes, two weeks ago, when I heard the 2010 Prius has a software update to fix this problem, I thought they might be able to fix mine also. But when I went to the dealer, they said they couldn't do anything with it unless there was a recall, and there isn't for the 2008. They gave me the number to report it to Toyota. I did that on 02/10/2010. Then when I heard the Toyota president (2 days ago) say that earlier Prius' don't have the problem, I thought I should report it to you also. Ps. . . I am an analyst by trade, I am highly mechanically inclined, and have even done my own brake jobs. I know how brake systems work and have had many cars with abs and traction control systems. This is the first car I have had that does this on a bumpy road surface.
I just read about the 2010 Prius braking complaints. I have a 2005 Prius and constantly experience what is being described. Every time I hit a bump or a pot hole, the Prius lunges forward especially if I'm braking at the time. Also, when I brake on slick roads I often experience the Prius' brakes not engaging as they should. Once I tried to make a right hand turn, going a proper rate of speed, on a snow covered road. The Prius' brakes did not engage enough to slow the vehicle in order to make the turn. I was forced to go straight through the intersection in order to avoid a collision. This "problem" has been present since we purchased the vehicle in 2005. I knew it was the computer system causing the anomaly, but I figured that I just needed to get used to it. Now, after reading the media reports, I believe this is infact a problem with my vehicles sensors and software.
I would like to file an official report of my accident that involved my 2005 Toyota Prius on January 13 of this year. It was in the morning after I had dropped off my children to their school. I was driving down the hill and driving the normal 25- 30mph down the hill to go home. Upon coming to the stoplight, I noticed the cars in front of me stopped at the stoplight so I went to hit my brakes and did not feel any power from my brakes so I quickly stood on my brakes with both feet and realized I had absolutely no brake power. I subsequently crashed quite hard into the car in front of me and experienced severe pain to the right side of my neck. After initial shock, I was able to maneuver my car out of traffic to a parking lot and noticed it funny that my brakes were working at that point. After exchanging information with the man that I hit, my car was towed to an autobody shop. After going to kaiser to look into my injury (which was whiplash) I was told at the autobody shop that my car was totaled and could not be fixed. He also told me that my airbag did not deploy because I had hit a larger american car which was higher than my bumper. It never hit the airbag sensor on my car that was lower than the impact point. After the accident, I asked my insurance company, the interinsurance exchange of the automobile , to please look into the brake situation and they stated that they did not find anything wrong. I am not satisfied with this answer because I have read that the Toyota problems are not easy to diagnose. I have been driving for 27 years and have never been in an auto crash that was my fault. I also have never experienced such a scary feeling as having absolutely no control over my car.
I bought my 2010 Toyota Prius in the summer of 2009 and on the 2nd day of ownership when I was braking to make a left turn on to my street where I live the car increased in speed up when I was making my turn while braking over a bumpy surface in the road. Yhis condition only happens when the roadway has imperfections and is rough. I had told the dealer about this conditon and they said it was the sensors and it was a normal conditon which I think is dangerous because this happend when I was behind another car and came close to hitting the car in front of me.
The brakes began to noticeably grab then release at low speeds, but it was intermittent. My son was driving, slowed for a stop light and hit the car in front of him when the brakes released. I took the car to the dealer, they could not recreate the problem and told me no fault was detected. Three weeks later, driving back from washington, through oregon, we pulled into a gas station, the car slowed at first, then the breaks let go and my husband had the stomp on the pedal. He turned off the car, filled it with gas, and when he turned it back on all the warning lights went off, signaling brake failure. We had it towed to a dealer in roseburg, and the brake sensor had faulted. But they told us we could probably drive back to sacramento. We decided to have it replaced there and not risk driving it any further.
The brakes on my 2010 Prius have a problem when going slowly over uneven, bumpy road conditions. The car seems to lurch forward during the braking sequence. It is very startling. Luckily no one has been in fornt of me, close enough to make contact. It has happened 5 times. I cannot predict when it will occur. When I first told the service dept at dealership, within 2 weeks of owning car, they siad it's just something to get used to with the braking sensor or somethiong and it isn't actually accelerating forward. I mentioned it again last week after the issues with the other cars accelerators, and the service dept said I have to replicate it with them, to address it. I called them after info was broadcast on the radio, and they said they had not heard anything. Now I hear in the news that they knew of this problem and almost exactly describe it as I experience it. I drive over this type of road daily, and am trying to avoid as much as possible.
When attempting an emergency stop, the brakes failed to operate as expected. There was no feeling of any braking, and there was no surge to indicate that the abs was operating. . Read more...
