2010 TOYOTA PRIUS Complaints

I have recently bought a 2010 Prius. The ABS (!) , traction control, and emergency brake light all illuminated three days after I transferred title with the dmv. This apparently is a very common problem with this car. I am told that these lights lead to a very expensive repair. My primary concern is my safety and of course the safety of others. A car that has brakes that suddenly fail is lethal. I was advised by a helpful agent that these repairs would come out of my pocket. My complaint is that Toyota should be responsible for this. I cannot drive this vehicle at the moment because I refuse to endanger anyone.

The dash lights on my 2010 Prius went all dark, lost all information on my dash. No lights on dash, no fuel gauge, no speedometer, nothing. This is very dangerous to suddenly have happened and I don't see a recall from Toyota to address this problem.

Hazards lights came on and would not go off, with increased speed hazards flashed faster. Toyota stated that ABS actuator and relay needed to be replaced.

1. This 2010 Prius has a faulty design of the piston rings, which is allowing it to burn more than 1.4 Qts of engine oil. 2. Such high consumption of engine oil causing an environmental pollution. 3. Furthermore, I took it to the local Toyota Dealer I.e. Maguire Toyota located in Ithaca, NY, they never chose to diagnose it or repair it. 4. I reached out to the Toyota and the Toyota still isn’t helpful w.r.t this high consumption of engine oil.

Parked with car running. Car started beeping (beep beep beep) incessantly. Turned off. When I turned 2010 Prius back on, the beeping came back. Brakes DID NOT WORK. Dash error said "CHECK PCS SYSTEM" and many warning lights were on. Pressing brakes didn't stop vehicle.

As many other 2010 Prius drivers have experienced, my brake actuator has failed. This has resulted in loss of braking and potential harm.

Seek exteral brake fluid no external leaks found ABS pump noise probable abs pump flalure leak

ABS brake booster slow leak. There are many reporting the same problem on YouTube as a $3000 repair.

ABS pump failed, all the lights came on the dash for brake, and brakes stop working properly it still drives but unsafe to do so, Toyota says it’s common problem and they want $3000 to replace it

Brake assist has failed. Appears to be master cylinder assembly and/or pump? Brake related error lights and safety systems disabled. Very difficult to drive vehicle without power brakes. Car only has 106k miles on it, and too old for enhanced warranty coverage (acknowledged problem). This is not some 20 year old car with 300k miles on it.
