| Description of the problem | This complaint is for a 2012 prius v that i've notified my local dealer and toyota about a possible safety issue relating to the brake booster. The prius v is currently not included in the zjb customer support program and i believe it should be. Brake pedal feels very firm and inconsistent and much harder to activate the brakes. There is constant (every few seconds) brake booster actuation/whirring consistent with symptoms of a leaking/defective brake booster per my local dealer. Warning lights for brake, abs, stability control, and tire pressure are on. |
