NHTSA Complaint #10928076 — 2007 TOYOTA PRIUS

WHILE I WAS DRIVING, THE CAR SUDDENLY MADE A VERY LOUD SOUND, THAT DID NOT GO AWAY. ALONG WITH THAT, THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH LIT UP, THE BRAKE LIGHT, THE RED HAZARD EXCLAMATION TRIANGLE LIGHT, THE ABS AND VSC LIGHT. IT FELT THE BRAKES WERE NOT WORKING AND I WOULD NEED TO PRESS IT DOWN HARD FOR IT TO SLOW DOWN. THIS HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES! AND EACH TIME I TOOK IT IN TO TOYOTA, THEIR DIAGNOSTIC TESTS SHOWED NOTHING. THEY THINK IT COULD BE THE BATTERY BUT THEY DID NOT SUGGEST CHANGING IT. THE THREE EPISODES THAT HAPPENED, LUCKILY NO INJURIES OR CRASHES. BUT IT IS VERY CONCERNING AS I FEEL THIS WILL HAPPEN AGAIN AND THEY HAVE NOT FIGURED OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM IS.
