Thank you for this video! My prius was making the exact same sounds. Because of your video, I was able to go into the dealership more informed and aware of the problem. They could not fix the issue until all the brake light warnings lit up. Once those warnings came on, it was covered completely by Toyota. This saved me $4000!
Wow how come you got covered ? Do you have extended waranty. How many millage and year your prius. Mine just got fixed from my own pocket for $1800 . 2014 with 128kmillage.

Check on toyota's website if you have extended warranty for the brake assembly, using your vin. I believe 2014 models were covered even before 2010 were. You may contact toyota's customer care as well. Your hydraulic brakes also are not engaging? Because when this happened to me, my hydraulic ones were working fine. But the brake pedal had that soft squishy feeling which made me felt like brakes are not engaging, but actually if I pressed hard enough, the hydraulic ones were engaging just fine. I am not saying that you should be driving with this condition, only trying to see if its similar issue or different.
@@PP-qj1ez Thanks again for that info. Yes, the brakes are very spongy the hydro and regen are not working at all it is only the mechanical brakes that work and I had to limp it home this way. I will try and see what happens if I pressed the brakes harder if that does anything but I doubt it since I was pushing the brakes pretty hard just trying to get it to stop driving it home.
I’ve called into the service center and gave them my vn# and my 2010 Toyota Prius is covered until nov 30th of 2019 for the abs brake assembly. You will have to get it checked out and if they find a problem then they will fix it. If they don’t find a problem then they will charge you for checking it out.
My Toyota prius has the warning lights on display and my car is parked over 6 days. I went to a service centre to get it fixed and the cost is like getting another prius . $1700 for the brake booster, $700 brake actuator , and $2000 for the new high voltage battery . Please We need your help Toyota . ASAP.
**News Flash** Toyota has finally issued a Customer Support Program "ZJB" to cover the Prius 2010 Brake Booster and Booster Pump Assemblies. Issued August 9, 2018. The warranty is good until November 30, 2019, regardless of mileage, or 10 years/150,000 miles. Was having issues with my brakes for over half a year (making duck noises when pressing the brakes and not smooth braking), and they said it was most likely my brake booster, but would cost $3,000 to replace. I held off, until finally these same warning lights came on, took it into Toyota, and my service advisor said this program came out and Toyota will cover the repair. Warning the parts are limited, so one part is going to take 3 weeks to arrive. Toyota wouldn't let me drive the car off the lot, so they gave me a loaner for the 3 weeks.
Yes we have done that warranty replacement and prius 4 we had booster now has another booster problem, I think the part is deffective and doesnt matter how many times they replace its still going to be same fart...
I'm pretty sure these are normal noises, I have a 2012 Prius V, the brake actuator cycles about every 15 to 20 seconds and it's been this way since I've owned it my car ,runs like it's brand new and it hasn't ever given me any problems, I have no dash lights that are on and no codes. My car has 200,000 miles on it. These cars do not use a vacuum assist system like a normal car since the engine does not run 100% of the time, they had to engineer a system to replace a vacuum system so that the brakes would operate when the engine is not running. This device keeps pressure in the brake system it acts in place of a vacuum booster. I'm pretty sure the noises that you're hearing are normal operation. Like I said my car does the exact same thing and doesn't have any problems. From what I gather you only have to worry about it if it doesn't stop, AKA it just continuously runs. If it continuously runs then I believe you have a problem. it seems a lot of people are paranoid about the cycling operation of this device but I'm almost positive it's nothing to worry about and perfectly normal.
Hey Ban, You are right that its a normal noise. But when its coming much more frequently than normal ... its an issue. Toyota already sent me recall.letter and replaced my brake assembly completely. Pls check if your vin has any open recalls. If the noise is not frequent, you are good!
@@PP-qj1ez i have same noise in 2014 prius three . but not much only if i open door and start to turn on the engine. and after that its no more sounds . should i worry for it:? sorry i am new owner for this car but i love this car .Oh BTW i checked my VIN but its not on list, any other recommendation to get brake assembly from TOyota ? thanks
@@PowerInPrayer11 Thats perfectly normal. You should have that noise, as the assembly builds pressure for first time. Even in between while driving you may notice little bit similar sounds, which is again, normal. If the noise continues for longer than usual or u hear it too frequently, then only you need to worry!
Yes. The brake actuator / booster assembly had to be replaced. Initially toyota did not cover it, I had to pay USD 3K from my pocket, but later on I received a letter from toyota about extension of warranty. I applied and got refund for my repair charges.
What year is your Prius? 2010? I think that's when 3rd gen started. I have the same, same noise. It's the actuator and unfortunately our models are outside the scope of the enhanced warranty and service bulletin - which covers 2004-2009 Priuses. What actions have or are you taking?
I received a recall on this Brake Booster assembly today. They are repairing it on 2010 models now free of charge until November 2019 or 10 years from first date of use
Our 2013 is doing this too and sometimes runs for long periods just sitting in the garage. Does anyone know if this is Normal as some have said or is it a Problem? Thanks!
If it does that without you going near to the car, its not normal. Also, if the gap is considerably higher, you might have the same problem. Check on the toyota website if you see recall or extended warranty added for your vin. Also, keep checking your brake light/check engine light remaining on.
Is your brake light on? I saw some comment here saying they considered only after the brake light was on. Did you by any chance get the extended warranty letter from Toyota? If not, then pls check with them.
This problem I also have in the Camry Hybrid 2009, when the door is opened and the car is off, the ABS still works, and when you press the brake, and most of the time, and if it is for a long time, the car is parked, it still works a lot ... What is the solution??
Hey, guys. So what is bottom line? My Prius 2012 making exactly same noise when I'm opening driver's door in the morning. And exactly same 14-15 seconds. Is it normal or too long? Then it making few 1-2 seconds buzzing during my driving but only when I'm pushing my brake pedal twice. Is it normal or not?
Thats not normal. Check if your vin is already part of the recall or you have received extended warranty letter from Toyota.if yes, you are good, Toyota will take care if it. If not, check if your brake light comes on ... I think if brake light is not on, the dealership will not consider this as same problem. Its the sad truth, they probably expect customers to get into the complete mechanical failure until they accept the problem.
@@VYM I would say check with your toyota dealership, but I am very skeptical about them accepting and fixing the issue. Just drive cautiously until the issue is fixed. The next level is when regen brake may stop working and only the friction ones will kick in. You would feel it like a huge play in the pedal. In my case, even after all these issues and brake light started, the dealership did not accept this as manufacturer issue. I had to fix it myself with a lot of $$!!. However, fortunately after a couple of months, I received a letter from Toyota on extended warranty info. In that they had mentioned the steps to request for refund if already fixed the issue. Thats what I exactly did and received the refund.
@@PP-qj1ez so my question is - how many seconds this morning buzzing must be if brake pump actuator is in perfect condition? It's brake pump actuator, isn't it?
Replaced brake booster assembly. Initiàlly i had to pay for it. Fortunately, later toyota sent extended warranty coberage letter and reimbursed the charges. For 2013, you should have received warranty letter already, probably.
Did you mean "reprogramming after replacing the actuator assembly? I believe Yes. Everything was done by the Toyota dealership near me, so it might have included reprogrammed. I am not very sure though

Hi when i drive and i press the break pedal and the car stop (example in a red light traffic) i can hear this like 2:35 for 1 second. It’s annoying because i can hear everytime when i break and car stop..
I have this same noise in a 2015 prius. I assumed it was normal. The brake booster cycles on and off periodically? If so,, is the purpose to build pressure? If it's repeatedly cycling on-and-on again even when brake pedal is not pressed, I can see how that is not normal because it could mean insufficient pressure is constantly being sensed. What if it only happens when I push down the brake pedal?
If the sound is not loud and too frequent, its normal. But if you hearing a loud noise everytime you push brake pedal, I believe it might be the same problem. Pls check your manual for warranty information. For 2015 models toyota might have already included the brake booster suppliment in the manuals. Or else, visit your toyota service/dealership.
My Toyota prius hybrid is 2009 model and giving me the same problem here in Fiji. I would like Toyota to do something for us here since prius and other hybrid is selling fast here . Please can Toyota do us a favour since Toyota is our best car in transport and we like to keep good buying terms. Thanks.
1st check on toyota website using your VIN , if you have an open recall. If not, check with your local dealer / service center to get toyota involved in this issue. This was a world wide recall & to my knowledge, 2009 models were also part of it.
@@hedgehogthesonic3181 I am not sure about Prius C models. I know that 2012 & 2011 prius models were part of the recall much before they included 2010 models. However, my assumption would be if Prius C shares this part with Prius (which I am pretty positive it must be), then, it should be part of the recall. You can check on toyota website using your vin.
I just got the letter in the mail today about this issue. Also, I hear that sound a lot at 1:43-1:45 is that the issue you’re talking about ? Kind of sounds like a futuristic robotic sounds “YurErrr” This whole thing is confusing to me and I’m trying to see if I don’t have issues with my brakes. I hear a lot of strange sounds all the time lol.
@@gasolinaquema8416 did you talk to dralership or with the Toyota helpline? Dealerships may not help with this. Check on Toyota website with your vin, if they have your vehicle covered under that warranty. If that doesn't help, try calling the Toyota customer care and explain them your problem.
No this one is not. If you get such sounds periodically, its normal. But if its too frequent ... like mine was after every few seconds, then somethings wrong with the brake actuator/booster assembly.
@@PP-qj1ez thank you thats a big help. I just got a used 2013 3 days ago and it's my first one. Lots of new sounds, wasn't sure what I should be hearing. Is it an expensive fix?
@@jaredlocke4300 yes. Its expensive. Being hybrid, there is no fix, but to replace the whole part. On an avg you are looking at $3k to $4k. Good news is that Toyota is aware that they had faulty brake actuators. They sent warranty letters covering this part for 8 or 10 years and 150k miles. Mine was initially not covered. I had to pay ard 3.5k for replacement. But after a few months I got letter that 2010 models are also covered and I can claim refund if already repaired. Which I got.
@@PP-qj1ez fantastic. The dealership said some sound is normal. No failure warning is coming up and the sound isn't intense. He also mentioned the coverage you just did and my car only has 68k on it. So at least I know it's covered. Thank you so much!

Guys is the Recall applicable worldwide? Because I’ve had this issue since last month and it’s driving me INSANE! I have a 2010 Lexus CT200h though..
I would believe so. Check on their site by entering your vin
i have 2010 abs brace traction light on which part number do i need to replace?
Everything , booster and actuator all are faulty ,, check with dealer they have recall on those...
Can anyone tell me, my prius c 2012 has souns when i open the door and when i use brake paddle 2 times in row. It is normal ?
Perfectly normal. If you are sitting in the car and w/o doing touching brake pedal, if you hear the noise very frequently, then there's a problem.
@@PP-qj1ez thank you so much my friend ❤️
My Toyota prius hybrid is 2009 model and giving me the same problem here in Fiji. I would like Toyota to do something for us here since prius and other hybrid is selling fast here . Please can Toyota do us a favour since Toyota is our best car in transport and we like to keep good buying terms. Thanks.
1st check on toyota website using your VIN , if you have an open recall. If not, check with your local dealer / service center to get toyota involved in this issue. This was a world wide recall & to my knowledge, 2009 models were also part of it.
@@PP-qj1ez Thanks PP .
@@PP-qj1ez What about 2012 Prius C models? are these in the call too?
@@hedgehogthesonic3181 I am not sure about Prius C models. I know that 2012 & 2011 prius models were part of the recall much before they included 2010 models. However, my assumption would be if Prius C shares this part with Prius (which I am pretty positive it must be), then, it should be part of the recall. You can check on toyota website using your vin.
@@PP-qj1ez I see, i will check then, thank you very much.
All lights are on
I have the exact same problem
What was your resolution?
I just got the letter in the mail today about this issue. Also, I hear that sound a lot at 1:43-1:45 is that the issue you’re talking about ? Kind of sounds like a futuristic robotic sounds “YurErrr”
This whole thing is confusing to me and I’m trying to see if I don’t have issues with my brakes. I hear a lot of strange sounds all the time lol.
Mine just went to crap, but of course the warranty is no longer in place. 😢
Check with toyota. For many of the model years, they sent extended warranty letters to customers, as they know their brake actuators were faulty.
@@PP-qj1ez I did, Toyota said mine expired in 6/21. Super frustrating
@@gasolinaquema8416 which year model do you have? Has your brake light and/or engine light turned ON?
@@PP-qj1ez 2011 Prius, Traction control light, brake, exclamation mark all turned on
@@gasolinaquema8416 did you talk to dralership or with the Toyota helpline? Dealerships may not help with this. Check on Toyota website with your vin, if they have your vehicle covered under that warranty. If that doesn't help, try calling the Toyota customer care and explain them your problem.
So this is normal?
No this one is not. If you get such sounds periodically, its normal. But if its too frequent ... like mine was after every few seconds, then somethings wrong with the brake actuator/booster assembly.
@@PP-qj1ez thank you thats a big help. I just got a used 2013 3 days ago and it's my first one. Lots of new sounds, wasn't sure what I should be hearing. Is it an expensive fix?
@@jaredlocke4300 yes. Its expensive. Being hybrid, there is no fix, but to replace the whole part. On an avg you are looking at $3k to $4k. Good news is that Toyota is aware that they had faulty brake actuators. They sent warranty letters covering this part for 8 or 10 years and 150k miles. Mine was initially not covered. I had to pay ard 3.5k for replacement. But after a few months I got letter that 2010 models are also covered and I can claim refund if already repaired. Which I got.
@@PP-qj1ez fantastic. The dealership said some sound is normal. No failure warning is coming up and the sound isn't intense. He also mentioned the coverage you just did and my car only has 68k on it. So at least I know it's covered. Thank you so much!
@@jaredlocke4300 Awesome! Glad to know.
It’s normal I’m sure 100:/:
