I WENT TO THE DEALER AS I WAS TOLD AFTER OPENING A CASE WITH TOYOTA,, HOWEVER THE SOLUTION WAS NOT RESOLVED TO MY SATISFACTION. BASICALLY. SAFETY PARTS WERE REPLACED FROM A RECALL ON 08/2013. A FEW YEARS LATER I GOT ANOTHER TOYOTA NOTIFICATION THAT IF I HAD THESE BRAKE BOOSTER RELATED FAILURES/LIGHTS TO BRING IT IN, I WOULD HAVE EVEN IF I HAD THE LIGHTS WITHOUT THE NOTIFICATION. THE OTHER DAY I HAD THE FAILURE RELATED TO THE DEFECTIVE PARTS INSTALLED ON 08/2013. SO SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 08/2013 AND WHEN TOYOTA NOTIFIED ME ABOUT THE LIGHTS OR THE STILL EXISTING DEFECT, THAT THERE WAS A DEFECT GOING TO HAPPEN BUT DID NOT KNOW WHEN AND TODAY I HAD THE FAILURE. I BELIEVED THAT SINCE I HAD THE ORIGINAL REPLACEMENT BRAKE SAFETY PARTS REPLACED THAT I WAS DRIVING A SAFE PRIUS. I FEEL THE SECOND REPAIR FOR THE SAME PARTS SHOULD BE COVERED SINCE WHEN THEY NOTIFIED ME THEY KNEW THERE WAS A DEFECT AND CHOSE NOT TO ABSORB THE COST OF THIS REMEDY.

DEFECT WITHIN THE BRAKE BOOSTER PUMP ASSEMBLY. IF THIS DEFECT OCCURS, VARIOUS WARNING LAMPS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL MADE ILLUMINATE, I EXPERIENCE INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCE, REDUCED HYDRAULIC PRESSURE WITHIN YOUR BRAKE SYSTEM, THE DEACTIVATION OF BRAKE ASSIST, AND/OR THE DEACTIVATION OF VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL. TOYOTA HAS PREVIOUSLY ISSUED AT LEAST TWO SAFETY RECALLS ' D0H AND K0L ' DESIGNED TO PREVENT SIMILAR DANGEROUS OCCURRENCES. HOWEVER, HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF GENERATION III PRIUS VEHICLES (2010-2015 MODEL YEARS) WERE EXCLUDED FROM THOSE SAFETY RECALLS.

MY BRAKES HAS ALWAYS HAD A WEAK FEEL AND IT WOULD LOSE STOPPING POWER WHEN BRAKING ON A BUMPY ROAD. ITS ALMOST LIKE, THE BRAKES RELEASES WHEN YOU HIT A BUMP. THERE ARE CURRENTLY TWO RECALLS FOR THE 2010 PRIUS BUT FOR SOME REASON, MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT INCLUDED IN IT. IS THERE ANY WAY WE CAN GET THE DEALER TO PERFORM THE RECALL? ITS JUST A SOFTWARE COMPUTER UPDATE, BUT I HAVE A FEELING THEY WILL NOT DO IT SINCE MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. EVEN THOUGH I EXPERIENCE THE SYMPTOMS OF THE 2 BRAKE RECALLS FOR THE 2010 PRIUS. THANK YOU.
