My Car: 2007 Prius Package: Base Nominated 0 Times in 0 Posts TOTM Awards: 0 Friends: 1 | These postings are a bit discouraging. My '07 recently started making the metal rubbing on metal noise when the brakes are deeply pressed and released. It's inconsistant but getting worse. I talked my husband into buying the Prius partly because of Toyota's reputation for high quality and reliability. I feel like egg is flying towards my face! Also, he is considering replacing his totaled minivan with a Prius. (He got broadsided by a cheesehead broad who ran a stop sign going 50mph.) He may change his mind now that we need repairs already. Questions: Will this problem resurface every 15,000 miles? Did anyone have a satisfying experience with this problem? |

I did take my Prius to Toyota Service Center twice with the complaint. Technicians could not discover cause, but offered to have me leave car overnight. This I declined at the time, but may reconsider. If I do return for attention to the noise, I will post my experience on PriusChat. Don't give up on the Prius. Mine has been absolutely problem free (except for the noise issue) since I bought it. And I love the MPG. Both the absence of problems and the MPG have been delightful experiences compared to the Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited I got rid off. It took me purchases of 3 Jeeps before I finally smartened up, and bought a Toyota product. | |

My Car: 2005 Prius Package: #5 Nominated 5 Times in 3 Posts TOTM Awards: 0 Friends: 20 | out of warranty.... ouch. honestly, bleeding the brakes doesn't fix the problem long term. and it's not a diy thing in a prius. replacing the actuator is 4-5 hours plus about $1600 for the part, plus a lot of brake fluid. |

Galaxee.. do you see any real need to replace the actuator if the noise is not a nuisance?.. do you think it will go out later if we don't. The sound is something I have to really listen for and it only happens while stopped and its very quiet.... do you think the repair is warranted? I just talked to a service rep and he says they only cover " noise" the first 36K or 3 years under the regular factory warranty.... but its not covered under the extended warranty unless Toyota will vouch for paying for it. Since they deny there is any real danger.. .I can see their hesitance at spending the money I suppose.

My Car: 2007 Prius Package: #8 Nominated 0 Times in 0 Posts TOTM Awards: 0 Friends: 0 | I've noticed since day 1 with my 2007 Prius that as I come to a stop, the brakes make a crunching sound, almost like there was sand or snow or something in there. The techs at the dealership tell me that this is normal...the regen braking. But this is not at all the same as the switchover from regen to friction braking that I became very familiar with in my 2002. Does anything thin what I'm seeing might be the same thing discussed in this TSB? |
