2011 Toyota Prius 4dr Hatch

98-horsepower 1.8L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD

120000 mi

US $2200
A known problem for this generation of Prius failed: the brake booster and accumulator system. Unfortunately this happened less than a year after it would have been eligible for a free repair from the dealer! 
30000 mi Brake failure two times. Petal went to the stop with no brake. One resulted in repair of $4100. The second was witnessed by two other people. Both occurred at very low speed. Toyota's was the disgusting. Blamed it on driver error. 
5000 mi Rattling sound driving over bumps and potholes. 
10800 mi T-SB-0136-11 Installed rubber bushing. 
26400 mi While braking and hitting a bump or pothole vehicle serges forward 
12500 mi TSB for clicking sound over Botts Dots and tar strips. Fix was to lubricate caliper pins and install a washer. Problem was cosmetic, did not affect function or safety of vehicle.
