Friends: 0 |  2010 Prius Brake Failure Complaints Rising just read this article from Gas 2.0 "Prius Brake Failure Complaints Rising as Toyota Prepares to Launch New Subcompact Hybrid" (note: i have less than 5 post so i can't post the link. so just Google the article or see the partial link below). gas2.org/2009/12/25/prius-brake-failure-complaints-rising-as-toyota-prepares-to-launch-new-subcompact-hybrid this captured my attention because i have experienced this brake failure about 5 times now. i previously reported it to my Toyota dealer but they weren't able to recreate the problem. so i thought i only slid on a black ice. but after reading the article above i realize that it's exactly what happened to me in a number of situations. anybody experienced the same problem with their Gen III Prius? if this would result in another recall then it would be a bummer for Toyota. i still love my Prius but i don't want to overlook this issue. this could be worse than the accelerator problem if any accidents are reported due to the brake fail issue. ~C Last edited by ~C4Chaos; 12-25-2009 at 02:23 PM.
