I experienced a scary situation with my 2007 Prius today. While I was driving all of a sudden the ABS brake light and dsc light and (!) light and brake light came on and stayed on. The car also made a loud buzzing noise in the cabin. I pumped the brakes and it was not very responsive. Luckily nobody was around because I felt had I needed to stop on a dime, I probably wouldn't be able to. I looked around online to find if others have had this problem and it appears there are plenty of cases where this type of sudden failure has occurred under 2007 ABS Toyota Prius brake module complaints. I believe that there is a recall for this issue from the manufacturer. Please contact me - I need help!

Anti-lock brake system on dry and wet roads have adversely effected braking on my 2007 Prius for as long as I've owned it (since 10/2010). When the anti-lock brake system engages while pressing the brake with your foot the car slightly accelerates (or jumps/lunges) forward for a fraction of a second before the brakes then engage. On 11/02/2012 this issue contributed to a collision. Without this "glitch, " I may have been able to stop my car completely (as I was already only going very slowly). On previous visits to the dealer, I was told that's "just the way the car is built" and that there's nothing that can be done to change it.
