    Brakes make horrible clunking screeching sound at the moment before complete stop and on release of pedal.
    Any one here with the same problem? A solution?

    This is my first post to PriusChat.
    You can hear the noise on YouTube by searching: @toyotafrenirumorosiscricch2355

    The noise started shortly after 7/21 new car purchase and has continued for 20K since. Has been to the dealer EIGHT times: they checked, they inquired to Toyota, they lubricated, they changed discs and pads, they reprogrammed a couple times. no change. We have appealed to Toyota Europe several times, they refer us back to the dealer who does not seem to care and points the finger at Toyota. The last reply from Toyota Europe was a patronizing: "The noise is caused by friction".

    I was very happy with my first new 2010 Prius, this one has been a total disappointment. That Toyota PR about relaxing warranty is BS.
