2010 TOYOTA PRIUS Complaints

MY CAR'S ABS, TRACTION, AND BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ON. I TOOK IT TO TWO SHOPS AND THEY BOTH SAID MY CAR WAS RECALLED AND TO HAVE THE DEALERSHIP FIX IT. THE RECALL IS ON THE BREAKS. THE BRAKE PEDAL IS ALSO NOT FULLY WORKING, THERE IS AN ABNORMAL LEAK OF BRAKE FLUID PRESSURE. BOTH AUTO SERVICE PLACES SAID TO DEMAND FOR THE DEALERSHIP TO TAKE CAR OF THIS BECAUSE THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT GOING ON FOR THIS CAR WITH THIS EXACT PROBLEM.

BRAKE BOOSTER FAILURE, LOSS PRESSURE AT BRAKE THE CAR, THE STABILITY CONTROL AND THE ABS DOESN'T WORK

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND THE TRACTION CONTROL, ABS, AND BRAKE LIGHT ALL COME ON. I GO TO USE THE BRAKES AND THE PEDAL WAS A LOT FIRMER AND WAS HARDER TO PRESS. THE CAR MAKES A BUZZING NOISE I BELIEVE IT IS THE BRAKE ACCUMULATOR. I GO TO THE NEAREST PLACE TO GET THE CODES READ. IT CAME UP WITH C1391 AND I LOOK THAT CODE UP AND IT COMES UP WITH THAT CODE IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE PRIUS. I READ THAT IT COULD LEAD TO BRAKE FAILURE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA PRIUS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT DRIVING AT 15 MPH, THE BRAKES FAILED TO OPERATE AS NEEDED UPON DEPRESSION OF THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SEVERAL WARNING LIGHTS APPEARED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL INCLUDING THE ABS, TIRE PRESSURE, TRACTION CONTROL AND EMERGENCY BRAKE LIGHTS. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE TO HALEY TOYOTA OF ROANOKE (1530 COURTLAND RD NE, ROANOKE, VA 24012) WHERE SHE WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS A CRACK IN THE BRAKE BOOSTER PUMP ASSEMBLY ACCUMULATOR, A DECREASE IN THE HYDRAULIC PRESSURE, AND A DEFECTIVE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER. UPON INVESTIGATION, THE CONTACT LINKED THE FAILURE TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 13V235000 (SERVICE BRAKES) HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 162,000.

THE CASING OF THE BRAKE ACTUATOR IS CRACKING. THE BRAKE ACTUATOR APPARENTLY IS AN UNDERLYING PROBLEM THAT TOYOTA DOES NOT WANT TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR AND FIX.

I TRAVEL TO WORK ONE HOUR AWAY FROM HOME, ON HIGH SPEED HIGHWAY'S MY BREAK SYSTEM LIGHTS TURNED ON, TRACTION, ABS AND BREAK, BREAK PEDAL SINKS AND WILL NOT BREAK AND IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN DRIVING HOME. I HOPE NO ONE GETS KILLED

TOYOTA BRAKE BOOSTER PUMP HAS FAILED DUE TO MANUFACTURING DEFECTS, WHICH AFFECTED THE STOPPING OF THE VEHICLE. TOYOTA HAS ISSUED RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM BUT ONLY FOR LATEST MODELS (2019 AND LATER). I'VE CALLED TO TOYOTA AND THEY REFUSED TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM. I LOOKED UP ON INTERNET AND FOUND THIS IS A WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM EXPERIENCED BY MANY OWNERS OF PRIUSES. TOYOTA MUST ISSUE THE RECALL FOR ALL THE VEHICLES AFFECTED, NOT THE LATEST ONES ONLY.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HWY WITH 3 CHILDREN WHEN IT CUT OFF ON ME AND MY STEERING WHEEL WAS LOCKED . I TOOK IT TO FOUR MECHANICS I SAW THE TOYOTA DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS MY BATTERY AND NOW I KNOW THAT I HAVE A RECALL ON IT . I HAVE NOT DRIVEN MY CAR IN THREE MONTHS I'M ALSO STILL PAYING PAYMENTS ON IT . I ALSO WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS MY BREAK. I BOUGHT A NEW BRAKE BOOSTER AND PAY FOR THE REPLACEMENT AND THE PROBLEM WAS STILL HUNGRY JUST

I AM HAVING AN ISSUE WITH MY BRAKE ACTUATOR/BRAKE BOOSTER. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND TOYOTA IS REFUSING TO HELP WITH THE ISSUE. THE ABS, BRAKE, AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT ARE ON AND REGEN BRAKING IS NOT WORKING. THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO COVER THIS BASED ON BULLETIN ZJB BUT ABSOLUTELY REFUSE ANY HELP.

WAS GOING 25 MPH YESTERDAY NOVEMBER 22, 2020 EVENING WHEN 4 (BRAKE, ABS, TRACTION & CAUTION) LIGHTS CAME ON DASHBOARD. PULLED OVER THE SHOULDER & TURNED IGNITION OFF. RESTARTED LATER & 4 LIGHTS STILL ON. FOLLOWING DAY, WENT TO DEALERSHIP & WAS TOLD BRAKE BOOSTER ASSEMBLY NEED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO INTERNAL FLUID LEAK.
