| I believe toyota has known of the braking problem all along. i purchased new, a 2002 prius. in 2008 my anti-locking brake system went out. the service mgr. told me it needed a new relay, and he could fix it for $1700. i have never in my life seen a relay costing $1700. my brakes still worked, just not properly so i didn't spend the $1700. as long as toyota can get their customers to spend $1700. there is no need to have a recall. i have around 47000 miles on the vehicle and am on my third set of rotors and brake pads. my tires actually last longer. i believe this braking problem has been around from day one. i think ray lahood should check frequency of this repair against customers records, it might reveal a consistent fault. *tr | |||

| I have a 2002 toyota prius that exhibits the same acceleration as in the 2010 recall. during braking if i am to hit a man hole cover or pot hole the car seems to lose the ability to brake and skips forward. this happens every time i hit a bump in the road while braking. i have owned the car for over 2 years and have had the brakes replaced without resolve. *tr | |||
