    might be the brake actuator. check with toyota to see if it's under extended warranty.

    search 'brake actuator' to find threads from others who have had problems and solutions. i think the extended warranty ends this dec.17.

    I bought it not from Toyota. I called them and they said that if i bought it not from them I do not have any warranty.

    How often, if ever, have you had a full brake inspection. Have the rotor thickness, parallelism and run out been checked? The US schedule calls for a full brake inspection every 3 years or 30,000 miles, whichever comes first, if I recall correctly.

    dealer is incorrect. the warranty covers all prius, no matter where you purchased. you can plug the vin into the toyota owners website to see if yours is covered.
