2015 TOYOTA PRIUS — Complaint #2171608
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about SERVICE BRAKES filed January 30, 2026
NHTSA complaint #2171608 (ODI reference 11714486) concerns a 2015 TOYOTA PRIUS and was filed on January 30, 2026. The owner reports the failure occurred on June 5, 2025. The report was geocoded to Missouri based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as service brakes, 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 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 2015 TOYOTA PRIUS shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
Complaint Description
ABS break actuator and abs pump failed while driving losing loss of breaking. Toyota is aware of this problem but refuse to fix this notorious and dangerous problem they have with multiple model years. I was not informed of the limited service campaign. This should be recalled as a safety to the public.
