Consumer Description

WHILE SLOWING OUR 2005 PRIUS TO MAKE A TURN INTO A PARKING LOT THE BRAKES FAILED TO RESPOND NORMALLY. WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON TO INDICATE THE ABS/VSC HAD A PROBLEM. TOOK IT TO A REPAIR SHOP TO HAVE IT DIAGNOSED, DRIVING IT TO THE SHOP WAS HAZARDOUS, VERY TOUCHY AND SCARY TO DRIVE. THEY SAID IT NEEDED A COMPUTER ASSEMBLY, SKID CONTROL AND STROKE SENSOR ASSEMBLY TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM. OVER $2000 IN PARTS ALONE. CONSIDERING MY OPTIONS NOW. SELL AND NEVER BUY TOYOTA AGAIN WOULD BE ONE OPTION. IF THIS HAD HAPPENED AT HIGHWAY SPEED AND WE NEEDED TO SLOW OR STOP QUICKLY WE MAY HAVE HAD AN ACCIDENT! (ISSUE NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY) ISSUES LIKE LABELS FOR TIRE LOADS COVERED, RIDICULOUS!
