SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
I PURCHASED MY 2010 PRIUS IN AUGUST 2010. FOR THE PAST YEAR, I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKE SYSTEM WHEN ATTEMPTING TO BRAKE AT LOW SPEEDS. WHEN BRAKING AT LOW SPEEDS, SUCH AS STOPPING AT A RED LIGHT OR STOP SIGN, IF THE CAR HITS A BUMP OR A POTHOLE, IT STOPS BRAKING AND INSTEAD ACCELERATES FORWARD A BIT. IT IS EXTREMELY FRIGHTENING AND I FIND IT EXCEPTIONALLY DANGEROUS. I HAVE COME EXTREMELY CLOSE TO HITTING THE VEHICLES IN FRONT OF ME ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. I NOW HAVE TO TRY TO CONSCIENTIOUSLY ADJUST AND DRIVE VERY, VERY SLOWLY WHEN BRAKING ON UNEVEN ROAD SURFACES SINCE I HAVE COME TO ANTICIPATE THIS PROBLEM. HOWEVER, MANY TIMES THERE IS NO WAY TO AVOID THE CAR'S SURGE OF POWER. I BELIEVE THIS IS A HIGHLY DANGEROUS SITUATION WITH MY VEHICLE. A SIMPLE INTERNET SEARCH WILL DEMONSTRATE THAT THIS PROBLEM EXISTS AND WAS NOT RESOLVED WITH THE RECALL IN MARCH 2010. I PURCHASED MY PRIUS, NEW, FIVE MONTHS AFTER THE PROBLEM WAS ALLEGEDLY FIXED AND I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM SINCE DAY ONE. THE BRAKES HAVE BEEN EXAMINED ON MY VEHICLE BY A TOYOTA DEALER AND THEY APPEAR TO BE FINE. I HIGHLY BELIEVE THAT A RECALL IS APPROPRIATE TO FIX THIS DANGEROUS BRAKING ISSUE. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
WHEN I PRESSED THE BRAKES WHILE APPROACHING A STOP I HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD (LARGE POT HOLE). THE PRESSURE ON THE BRAKE RELEASED FOR APPROXIMATELY 1 SECOND BEFORE THE PRESSURE ON THE BRAKE PAD RE-ENGAGED. THIS SAME SCENARIO CAN HAPPEN ANY WHERE FROM 0 TO 2 TIMES PER WEEK. IN THE WINTER WHEN THE ROAD SURFACE IS NOT CLEAR IT IS APPARANT THAT WHEN THE BRAKE "DISENGAGES" THE ANTI-LOCK DOESN'T ENGAGE BECAUSE THE CAR SLIDES. I HAVE SLIDE THROUGH A RED LIGHT, ONTO A BUSY STREET. FORTUNATELY THERE HAVE NOT BEEN CARS IN THE VACINITY. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM WITH NO SOLUTION OR RECOMMENDATION.

INTERIOR LIGHTING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
OUR 2010 PRIUS IS UNSAFE DURING THE DAYTIME DRIVING WHEN WE ARE REQUIRED BY ROAD SIDES TO TURN ON OUR HEADLIGHTS IN CERTAIN ROADS, WHEN WE COMPLY THE HEADLIGHTS GO ON, BUT THE DASH LIGHTS GO DARK AND WE ARE UNABLE TO READ THE SPEEDOMETER ETC. I WENT TO A TOYODA DEALER AND THEY SAID NOTHING COULD BE DONE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. TODAY, AUG 6, I PERSONALLY SPOKE WITH TOYODA MOTOR SALES IN TORRANCE CA., ON MY COMPLAINT 1107281155, AND WAS TOLD TOYODA COULD DO NOTHING ON 2010 PRIUS WHICH ALL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. I OFFERED TO PAY TO FIX IT AS I AM ON ROADS REQUIRING DAYLIGHT HEAD LIGHTS ON SEVERAL TIMES A MONTH. I FEEL THAT TOYODA SHOULD RECALL ALL PRIUS AND FIX THAT PROBLEM, THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR A DANGEROUS SISTUATION LIKE THAT ESPECIALLLY WHEN I CAN RECEIVE A TICKET FOR NOT USING THE HEADLIGHTS DURING THE DAY OR IF I DO NOT BEING ABLE TO READ THE SPEEDOMETER ETC. I FEEL THAT THROUGHOUT THE WEST MANY ROADS REQUIRE ONLIGHT HEADLIGHTS. I WOULD LIKE A FORMAL INVESTIGATION ABOUT THIS MATTER. *TT

THE DEALERSHIP CLAIMS THERE IS NO PROBLEM AND THE RECALL WORK HAS NOT MADE A NOTICEABLE DIFFERENCE. *TT

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
BRAKES FAILED. 2010 TOYOTA PRIUS. 160,000 MILES ON VEHICLE. WHEN I STARTED THE CAR, I HAD NO BRAKES. WHEN I PUT THE CAR IN GEAR, I THEN HAD BRAKES. I HAD BRAKES WHEN I PULLED UP TO A STOP SIGN. AS I WAITED FOR TRAFFIC I THEN HAD NO BRAKES. WHEN I BEGAN TO MOVE I HAD BRAKES, BUT THEN AS I GAINED SPEED, THE BRAKES WENT OUT. I MANAGED TO STOP WITH THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. CHECKED THE BRAKE FLUID: COMPLETELY FULL. DEALER SAID THE MASTER CYLINDER WENT BAD. ORGINAL BRAKES ON VEHICLE; NOT EVEN HALF USED. HIGHWAY MILES ON VEHICLE. VERY HOT DAY. I BELIEVE IT IS ELECTRICAL, DEALER SAYS MECHANICAL. HAD THERE BEEN AN ACCIDENT, THIS INCIDENT WOULD BE LOOKED INTO. AS IT IS, NO DEALER WILL LOOK INTO A CAR THAT IS OUT OF WARRENTY. I COMPLAINED FOR 5 MONTHS ABOUT THE BRAKES WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT THE CAR NEW. DEALER TOLD ME THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE BRAKES. EVEN AFTER THE RECALLS, THERE STILL IS PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKES. NOW I BELIEVE THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE MASTER CYLINDER, -THE ELECTRIC COMPONENT PART OF IT- BUT TOYOTA WILL ONLY LOOK INTO IT WHEN THERE IS A SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRIC
HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKING ON MY 2010 TOYOTA PRIUS. AT SLOW TO MODERATE SPEEDS WHILE I AM BRAKING AND GO OVER A POTHOLE THE CAR SEEMS TO STOP BRAKING AND KEEPS GOING. I THEN HAVE TO DEPRESS THE BRAKE HARDER TO MAKE THE CAR STOP. I HAVEN'T HAD ANY COLLISIONS BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE BECAUSE I HAVE NOT BEEN FOLLOWING CLOSELY BEHIND A CAR. BUT I BELIEVE IF I WAS, I WOULD HAVE DEFINITELY REAR-ENDED ANOTHER VEHICLE. *TR

TIRES, WHEELS
FRONT TIRES CHIPPING ON THE INSIDE AND OUTSIDE. TOLD TO GET THEM ROTATED AND ALIGNMENT. 6 LUG NUTS BROKE OFF DURING THE ROTATION AND THE ALIGNMENT WAS NOT THAT FAR OFF. TOLD THE TIRES WHERE THE WRONG ONES FOR THAT HEAVY OF A VEHICLE. TOOK TO THE DEALER AND HE LAUGHED AT ME AND SAID THEY WOULD LOVE TO CHARGE ME TO REPLACE ALL MY LUG NUTS AND THOSE WHERE THE RIGHT TIRES FOR THE VEHICLE AND HE SAID I WAS LUCKY TO GET 35,000 MILES OUT OF THEM BECAUSE EVERYONE ELSE ONLY GOT 25,000 MILES WITH THE TIRES HE THEN TRIED TO SELL ME A NEW SET OF TIRES. FOUR DAYS LATER THE CAR DECIDED TO DRIVE ITSELF INTO A TREE AT 20 MILES AN HOUR. NO AIR BAGS DEPLOYED BUT THE CAR WAS TOTALED. *KB

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
I AM EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM AS MANY OTHER 2010 PRIUS OWNERS. THE BRAKES FAIL BRIEFLY WHEN DRIVING OVER LARGE POTHOLES LOCATED ON A GRADE. I HAVE DISCUSSED THE PROBLEM WITH A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT UNTIL A RECALL/SOLUTION IS ISSUED THERE IS NOTHING THAT THEY CAN DO. THEY TOLD ME TO BRAKE HARDER WHEN DRIVING OVER POTHOLES TO COMPENSATE FOR THE PROBLEM; THE BRAKES, HOWEVER, DO NOT FAIL WITH EVERY POTHOLE. IT SEEMS LIKE THE POTHOLES HAVE TO BE A CERTAIN SIZE, YET FROM THE DRIVER'S SEAT, IT'S EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO JUDGE THE SIZE OF THE POTHOLE AND THUS IF THE CAR WILL LOSE BRAKING POWER. SO, SLAMMING ON THE BRAKES FOR EVERY POTHOLE IS JUST AS DANGEROUS AS NOT SINCE STOPPING TOO QUICKLY CAN CAUSE A REAR-END ACCIDENT. I LIVE IN A CITY OVERWHELMED WITH HILLS AND POTHOLES SO THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS NEARLY EVERY TIME I DRIVE THE CAR. IT HAS GOTTEN TO THE POINT WHERE I AM FEARFUL TO DRIVE MY CAR SINCE I HAVE HAD SEVERAL CLOSE CALLS AND KNOW THAT UNLESS THIS PROBLEM IS FIXED, IT WILL EVENTUALLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. BRIEFLY LOSING BRAKING POWER MAY SEEM INSIGNIFICANT BUT UNTIL YOU HAVE ACTUALLY DRIVEN THE CAR AND EXPERIENCED THE LACK OF CONTROL THE ONLY COMPARISON THAT I CAN MAKE IS DRIVING ON ICE. YOU FEEL UTTERLY HELPLESS FOR THE TIME THAT THE CAR IS OUT OF YOUR CONTROL, EVEN IF IT'S ONLY A FEW SECONDS, DURING WHICH TIME YOU ARE LEGALLY AND MORALLY ACCOUNTABLE FOR WHAT YOUR CAR DOES OR HITS. THERE ARE PLENTY OF OTHER ROAD HAZARDS AND SAFETY CONCERNS, WHETHER OR NOT MY CAR IS GOING TO STOP WHEN I APPLY THE BRAKES SHOULD NOT BE ONE OF THEM. I IMPLORE YOU, PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS PROBLEM AND REQUIRE THAT TOYOTA TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR FIXING IT AND ENSURING THE SAFETY OF PRIUS OWNERS, PEDESTRIANS AND OTHER DRIVERS. THANK YOU.
