    While driving about 60 miles per hour, I suddenly lost all braking ability and heard a continuous beeping sound.
    I later learned that Toyota issued Safety Recall D0H and a Customer Support Program called ZJB for brake booster and accumulator failures on 2010 Prius models.

    Coverage lapsed at 10 years from first use to 150,000 miles. Odometer about 203,863 miles.
    Brake pads and fluid replaced September 2024 at 198,658 miles. Worth fixing this issue?

    Yep all that happened now basically replacing about 1400 bux of firewall mounted brake parts. Unless the cars the real nice keeper probably not me. Personally we don't deal with this gen 3 business
