2010 Pius II w/ 65k miles need to replace brake actuator

Brake Actuator booster assy $3000 in repair

I have started two new threads on this to see if we can come up with a list and see how many people are having this issue

I am at the dealer at the moment. Prii was taken in because of break barking noise. Yesterday the ABS Light, Traction control light and brake lights were on my dash board all at one time. Barking is gone but now all new issues have come up.
1. braking feels weak.
2. hybrid battery is not charging while breaking
3. hybrid drive is pushing power at complete stop
4. Hill assist is not working
5. brake pedal sometime looses it's pressure

I had two codes come up: (will update on the code later)

master cyclinder & brake actuator.

I have had the car go in to the dealer service only for brake issues.

Now they want $2,800 plus labor to replace the actuator.
I am currently talking with a service manager to see what we can do about this.

I wanted to post this on the forum and see how many people are having similar issues. I know that if we have enough people having the same problem, this can be escalated up to Toyota customer care so that this issue can be documented and maybe repairs and parts can be covered.

I feel like we have to live with the ABS issue when we brake over rough roads but I am not going to just take another issue and pay out of my pocket for more major issues.

I will update later on the out come.

Please post any brake issues on barking because the barking is going to end up a $2,800 plus service repair.

Thanks priuschat members.

 

Here are the codes I am getting:

C1246 & C1380
Brake switch circuit and master cyl. pressure circuit.

I also called Toyota Customer Care: (800) 331-4331

I complained about this issue. They told me that he will have to review the info and put me on hold for about 2 minutes. Came back and just told me that they can't assist me in any way.

I really feel that a hand full of us on the forum have had similar issues and paid for a faulty assembly.

Please post if you have had this issue so that we can get some resolution and help others in getting this issue resolved. I did some research and it looks like older Prius' are having the same thing happening.

I will keep us updated!

 

My warranty is way over. 36K I'm at 65K miles.

I have pm'ed a few people on the forum that I have searched and found that they have had the same issue.
I hope we can start a list and see how many of us are having the same issue.

 

I have created two threads. One under the gen 2 & gen 3 to start a list and see how many people have been having the same issue.
Someone mentioned about me spamming the forum.
If I am please let me know (admins) and you can delete this thread.
I would like everyone to direct themselves to the other thread and list yourselves if you are having the same issue.

Thanks.


Admins: Please let me know if I am spamming. I am only asking because someone has told me I should not spam. I only have three threads one the discussion which is this thread and the other two are to see how many people have been having the same issue.
I will comply with any further instructions the admins have. Thank you.

 

I have only Pm'd a couple of people.
I have searched and found a hand full of people have the exact issue and others that are starting to have it i.e. barking sound from the brake peddle.

I hope forum members can step up so that we can get this possibly a recall issue or at least some sort of assistance from Toyota themselves.
Anything will help customers and will show that they will back there customers all that they can.

 

I have ordered the part. I will have it replaced once I receive the parts I need.
Will be getting some help from a fellow member.

will update
