| 50800 mi US $3100 |
Brake master cylinder/ABS unit failed. Part alone is $2700! I heard a squealing noise traced to the brake booster pump, dealership took almost two weeks to get part and replace. Toyota will not provide any consideration/compensation. |

Replaced rear rotors and pads |
| 5000 mi | Problem: Noticeable loss of braking when system switched from regen to friction due to a loss of traction. Loss duration less than one second, but the effect was perceived as undesired acceleration. A computer system reflash (AOB) fixed problem. |
| 4000 mi | Reflash of ABS braking computer to resolve braking issues. Done under recall protocol. Braking problem under recall still exists. Dealer claims it is "normal" behavior. |
| 8000 mi | Car surges ahead while braking and passing over rough pavement or bumps. |
| 10000 mi | The car surges ahead while slowing down and going over rough pavement. The regenerative braking cuts out and there is a lag until the friction braking takes hold. Factory rep admits that the car behaves that way, but "they all do." |
| 16000 mi | Continuing issue with release of brakes when car goes over rough pavement. Regen braking stops and car surges ahead until friction brakes take hold. Regen stays off until car stops. |

| 50000 mi US $1000 |
Wife noted bad scraping sounds from rear. Further interrogation reveals very poor gas mileage in past month or so. Inspection shows rear passenger brake rotors with surface corrosion and no shiny areas unlike the other brake rotors. In addition, rotor itself was warm to touch. Internet search suggested seized calipers, confirmed by mechanic who recommended changing both calipers, replace rotors and pads, and dressing and replace brake fluid which he suggested might have been contaminated when water and cause of the problem. After repair, noise is gone and gas mileage returned to normal. |
| 10000 mi | intermittent loss of braking at low speed over rough roads. occasionally brakes fail for about 1 second when braking on rough surfaces at speeds below 15 MPH |
| 16000 mi | They changed the pump. It has resulted in increasing noise when braking, but the car no longer lurches forward when braking. Returned for a 2 hour visit follow up where the dealer said it was safe. Repair took 4hrs. Not happy. |
| 82000 mi US $1300 |
Replaced rusted rotors and stuck brake caliper. |
| 108000 mi US $1410 |
I came in with "rattling" when accelerating. Most often occurred when accelerating uphill. They diagnosed and recommended Brake pads, rotors, drums, and hydraulic lines to be replaced. This didn't fix the issue, but brakes felt better, and I don't feel like there's as much slippage after. |
| 75000 mi US $980 |
ABS Sensors failed - replaced rear sensors and harness. Brake warning light on with warning triangle until replaced. |
| 43000 mi | When applying brakes before starting car, sometimes car will roll after shifting out of park unless brakes are released and reapplied. May be related to boost pump building pressure and timing of initial application. |

| 168000 mi US $896 |

| 11000 mi | I started getting a weird brake noise with my 2010 Prius at about 300 miles. It makes a barking noise if I suddenly brake and will continue to do it for some time afterward. Earlier models had this problem. I am annoyed dealer didn't fix it |
| 70000 mi | I had noticed some sounds and a feeling in the brake pedal for many months that were indicators of a brake problem. Over that time, I attempted to identify the cause with no luck. These 2 indicators stopped after the brake booster recall was performed. |

discs rotors |
| 5000 mi | Some problems w/brakes not "taking" when pressed. Concerned since the 2010 model was recalled for that. Dealer checked out for free; explained how ABS and regular brakes worked together. |
| 12700 mi | The anti-skid light would sometimes come on when we were going over bumpy roads. This seemed to create a lag in our braking. The technician said that he would reflash the brake system per a TSB. |
| 26000 mi | Made a panic stop, then the abs,vsc, and brake lights came on would not go off. Dealer could not find anything wrong and reset. |

brakes were rubbing==brakes pads cleaned |
| 49700 mi US $25 |
Reported a rubbing noise coming from front brakes. Dealer could not duplicate. Car is still making noise. |
| 29940 mi | ABS/VSC system reported malfunction after applying the brakes hard to avoid a cyclist. This was a software problem and was solved by installing new firmware as clearing the errors did not resolve the issue. |

Left front inside brake pad hanging up and dragging against rotor. Clearanced pad slides. Ended up having to change brake fluid due to my mistake. |
| 41000 mi US $50 |
Car went through large puddle and ABS warning light came on, requiring the car's computer to be reset. |

| 41000 mi US $37 |
Brake actuator replaced because of Sea Barking noise occasionally heard. Toyota TSB found on issue and repair requested prior to warranty ending. Toyota claims this is not a safety issue just an annoying noise. |
| 30000 mi | Noise with braking system. Was thought to be actuator brake system, due to clicking noise upon braking. It turned out to be a leaking brake fluid problem, and bleeding the brake line turned out to solve the problem. |
| 67500 mi £50 |
Loud squeaking noise from front right wheel. Diagnosed as sticking brake caliiper. Cleaned and lubricated. |
2006 Toyota Prius 4dr Hatch
76-horsepower 1.5L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD

| 224440 mi C $350 |
Changed break pads. |
| 54000 mi US $119 |
brake actuator makes a chirp/squeak when car is stopped. TSB BR001-07 describes situation. 1st step is to bleed the brakes and see if problem still exists, which it did. 2nd step (not taken) is to replace the $1200.00+ brake actuator. |
| 86000 mi | I think the noise decreased/stopped after we got more miles (and brake usage) on the car. |
| 33000 mi | Problem 1: Brake actuator makes squeaking noise when brake pedal depressed, but dealer could not duplicate problem. TBS issued for Brake actuator, but not covered after 36K miles. Problem |
| 145000 mi US $3000 |
Car had been making noise since new. Assumed it was just, “hybrid noise.” Turns out, it was the brake actuator going out. Had become terrible, so took it in. Got the brake actuator replaced.

Rear right wheel speed sensor sustained heat damage; suspect friction caused by foreign material/road debris. |
| 169000 mi US $849 |
The ABS actuator went out so I bought a used one on Ebay for $200 and paid $650 to have it installed but the part was bad so I will have to get a replacement which will be free and pay another $600 to have it installed making the total $1500. |
| 170000 mi US $650 |
Second used ABS actuator also did not work. The $200 cost of the part was refunded, but wasted $1,300 in labor costs. |
| 170500 mi | Paid $2550 to have a new ABS actuator installed. Subsequently Toyota settled a class action lawsuit regarding brake actuator. They will repair ABS actuator for free or if you already had it done they will reimburse. They reimbursed me 100% |

| 110000 mi US $500 |
Brake Actuator - replaced with used unit |
| 131700 mi US $2000 |
Temporarily lost brake "boost" and ABS function. Gen2 (2004-2009) cars have an ABS controller w/ brake failure logic that is too unforgiving as the components age. ABS is not re-programmable. ABS controller $1500 parts, $400 labor. |
| 182000 mi US $250 |

Replaced spiral spring (clock spring) in steering wheel. |
| 291700 mi US $15 |
Damn front brakes wore out after 285 thousand miles. Seriously, the car uses reverse EMF (charging of the traction battery) to slow the car 90% of the time, making the brakes last a really long time. I see a front wheel bearing in my future |
| 115940 mi C $340 |
The calipers were sticking and needed to be re-adjusted. |
| 114000 mi US $350 |
Car brought in for idiot light (ESC needed recalibration). |
