NHTSA Complaint about SERVICE BRAKES, AIR filed October 27, 2014

NHTSA complaint #1124263 (ODI reference 10650434) concerns a 2010 TOYOTA PRIUS and was filed on October 27, 2014. The owner reports the failure occurred on July 1, 2013. The vehicle had 50,000 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to Maryland based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as service brakes, air, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.

The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.

Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same TOYOTA PRIUS cohort independently describe similar service brakes, air failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2010 TOYOTA PRIUS shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.

Complaint Description

THIS IS RELATED TO REPORT RECEIPT DATE: FEB 09, 2010 (I BOUGHT THE CAR USED IN MAY, 2013). NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 10V039000 COMPONENT(S): SERVICE BRAKES, AIR - THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME WHEN THE CONDITIONS ARE RIGHT. I COMPLAINED TO TOYOTA AT THE TIME THAT THIS CAR SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN THE RECALL LIST - IT DOES EXACTLY AS DESCRIBED IN THIS CAMPAIGN DESCRIPTION...THE BRAKES RELEASE WHEN BRAKING OVER BUMPS OR SLIPPERY SURFACES. THE FIRST TIME I TOOK IT IN, THEY SAID THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG, AND THEY WERE 'WORKING AS DESIGNED'. I CALLED TOYOTA TODAY AFTER READING MORE ABOUT THIS RECALL, AND THEY TOLD ME I WOULD HAVE TO TAKE TO SERVICE AND GIVE THEM A RIDE TO SHOW THEM HOW IT HAPPENS. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THIS CAR WASN'T INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. ANY SUGGESTIONS OR ASSISTANCE? ARE YOU STILL GETTING COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS? *TR
