What Owners Say
"My car started making a noise like a plastic bag was dragging underneath the car and the frequency increased as I drove faster. The brakes and rotors had rusted and required replacement."
Anonymous, NY (2017 Toyota Prius Prime Plus 1.8-L 4 Cyl plug-in hybrid)"Brake pads rusted and had to be replaced. They probably rusted from disuse due to regenerative braking. The dealer noticed the problem when I took the car in for an oil change."
Anonymous A., MA (2017 Toyota Prius Prime Advanced 1.8-L 4 Cyl plug-in hybrid)"Brakes wore out quickly although brake use was gentle and deliberate."
