Description of the problem	I'm driving around 60mph and suddenly the electronic stability control light went on and the all wheels suddenly braked. It's just so dangerous, good thing no body behind me at that moment. This happened several times. The car could brake suddenly by itself without warning even when it's high speed or low speed. There's a clicking noise under the dashboard. This is because of the malfunction of electronic stability control in the prius. It could cause the car brake by itself without warning and could cause big accident, especially in the freeway.
