What owners wrote
Driving vehicle down highway, tapped brakes but brakes did not work, all the lights on my dash lit up. I lost traction in brakes causing vehicle to lose control.
My toyota prius warning lights brake,ABS and traction control came on. I check with the dealer and it said my accumulator was leaking. This part alone is $2600 plus $500 in labor. My cat has 41,900 miles on it. This part is an obvious problem because the 09-10 models had a recall for this exact problem. Amazing that the same part excise in newer models but no recall. Especially because it's the most expensive part other then the hybrid battery.
