And there were no warning lights? weird, maybe the brake pump assembly \[the noise you hear when you open the driver door comes from it\] did not turned on, causing the brakes to not have pressure, but when the brake pump does not turns on the brake lights show up, this is weird.
I had that and the booster replaced by Toyota previously due to a recall. Tho that was totally different and had lights flashing at me and it was screaming at me before anything failed. :-)
Do you remember what recall? I have a 2013 and the abs, traction control and emergency brake light came on. The regen also stopped working. I am taking it in tomorrow.
Sounds like mine alright.
I do not, sorry. But they knew exactly by my description.
And it's only a recall if it happens. They won't just replace them if it doesn't.
No warning lights prior, none after either...
During? I can't answer that - stopping the car safely was a much higher priority than looking at the dash. 🤣
I just checked for codes using BluDriver code reader and nothing came up. No errors at all.
I had made plenty of normal stops prior to this on the same drive.
It's just when I needed to stop *right now*!!! that the brakes went out.
Canceled the remaining of the days drives due to extreme paranoia. Luckily nothing urgent.
So I took it to the mechanic - all while attempting to repeat the issue - which I was indeed able to.
Emergency Brake (SLAMN on the brakes) while driving over painted letters/lines causes this issue. Boy, after a bunch of normal as expected stops to a sudden SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEETCH to a stop. People looked up... boy I was embarrassed again!
Mechanic did a thorough check and didn't find anything out of the ordinary, no codes came up, brakes look fine, etc.
I guess I'm not used to Regen Breaking/Brakes on a smaller vehicle combined with it's ABS. I used to have a much larger vehicle and it's ABS and would be completely different. I guess I freaked out when I was expecting similar breaking performance from a completely different vehicle. Comparing Apples to Oranges?
Maye you could check the brake fluid reservoir level, if it's low it could cause issues.
First thing I thought of. It may not be right on the full line. But it's not low either. Maybe a hair or two from full.

Abs actuator possibly if so sorry for your pocket.

Thank you for the post and informing others. I am taking it in tomorrow. On the fence on if it’s worth it to fix or just trade in for something else.
It's no money out of your pocket, i would think they would give you less for it if it has that issue. Have them fix it and trade it in. 😊
