2011 Toyota Prius Electronic stability control Problems

“Well I was driving and suddenly my car battery turned off and check hybrid system came on the dashboard it stopped so I parked it on side and unplug battery wires so it start working again the weird thing is that when I check to see any code but nothing came recently it was happening and one recall came for hybrid battery after that it was working fine but now this thing happened again and it was dangerous because I was in the middle of highway and car stopped.”

“Happen twice hit the brakes fairly hard on rough pavement not real rough didn't bounce just felt like I was on ice nothing there just a second or so but felt like a long time if a car would have been in front of me don't know if I could have stopped in time.”

“My 2011 Prius very recently has started making audibly noise while pressing the brake pedal, whether in motion or stopped. This noise contains continuous whirring, whining and loud clicking noise.

Especially because it's the most expensive part other then the hybrid battery. I was driving my car when ththe lights came on and my brakes released when depressed and I almost hit the car waiting at a stop light. …”

“While driving at a slow speed, the traction control, brake and ABS failure lights came on. When I attempted to stop the vehicle, the brake pedal went to the floor without actuating the ABS system. I was unable to stop the vehicle using the service brakes. Since I was traveling at a low speed, I was able to slow down and come to a full stop using the parking brake. Now the vehicle is parked and undriveable. I contacted my local Toyota dealer requesting service and was told that they did not have a brake master cylinder or hydraulic brake booster in stock. …”
