It seems about once a week the rubber cover that goes over the food pedal for the parking brake comes off. I've been careful to replace it correctly but it still keeps happening? Btw it's a 2010 v with atp ...

Prius (2004-09) :: Switch For Parking Brake Pedal Light Self Loosened

The switch for the parking brake pedal light self loosened (a known issue with this switch) over the past six months and today it finally fell off the pedal assembly. The only way I can see to do the repair is to remove the three fasteners that attach the parking brake pedal assembly to the dash and drop the pedal to the floor to refasten the switch. It appears to be possible; however, there are lots of stuff around the assembly that might get in the way of dropping the assembly so I raised the white flag and called it a day.

I've noticed, lately on my girlfriend's 2013 with auto trans, when the brake pedal is down, and then pumped, I can hear and feel a click coming through the shifter. It happens in all gears.

Prius (2010-12) :: Parking Brake Adjustment?

When I was at Luscious Garage earlier today for a transmission service, the technician told me that my parking brake is out of adjustment. Sure enough, I checked the factory service manual when I got home and found that the spec is 8-11 notches at 67.5lbf. My own test revealed that it was taking between 15-17 notches on mine!

Prius (2010-12) :: Driven 50 Miles With Parking Brake On

I made the mistake of lending my car to my sister who drove about 50 miles with the parking brake on.... And yes it beeped at her the whole way and she didn't think anything of it..... What kind of damage could have been done? Brakes seem to work fine although the parking brake barely works now.

Camry :: Adjusting Parking Brake (E-Brake) Pedal On 6th Gen Toyota

I have a 2010 toyota camry that needs a parking brake adjustment. the car still stops with the transmission even if the parking brake pedal is pressed down. I changes the pads in the back and it seems to be a little better, but it's not as good as other Camry's I've been in. Where to look as far as the adjustments go? and possibly how if it's not the usual method.

Prius (2010-12) :: Noise Coming From Rubbing Between Joystick And Center Console Bridge Cover

My 2012 Prius makes noise in cold days. After careful examination I found the noise comes from the rubbing between the joystick cover and the center console bridge cover. If I press the joystick cover with my fingers, the noise will be significantly reduced or even eliminated. So I think if I put a layer of soft material there, I may be able to eliminate the noise. How to remove the center console bridge cover? Either pictures or video will be great.

Prius (2010-12) :: Car Wouldn't Go Into Reverse After Releasing Parking Brake

Today I stopped at the post office to check my mail. I put the car in park and didn't shut off the engine - this is what I always do. When I returned a few moments later the car would not go into reverse (this was after releasing the parking brake) and the traction control symbol came on. The car would go into drive but that didn't work much as I was up against a hill (or almost against it). Shutting the car off and turning it on again solved the problem. The parking space was badly potholed; I'm assuming I had less than full contact on one wheel which caused the traction control to kick in which prevented reverse from engaging. And to be clear - it's not that it went into reverse but didn't go anywhere; reverse simply wouldn't engage (I did not try neutral),

Prius (2010-12) :: Parking Brake Sticking - Noticeable Noise When Applying Gas?

I always apply my parking brake whether im parked on an incline or not. Sometimes if I disengage the parking brake, and set my car in Drive on a flat surface, my car does not advance (I'm not pressing the gas). This tells me that my parking brake is sticking! If I apply the gas slowly, I hear the brakes "clunk" off and I finally get going.

Ford Excursion :: How To Change The Rubber Brake Pedal Cover

This may be my only chance to do a step-by-step ...

Tools Required : Fingers (preferably attached to hands)

Step One : Check diver side floorboard for cleanliness (people are going to see it in the pics)

Don't worry about passenger side. There will be no pics of it.

Step Two (fingers required for steps two through seven and ten) : Vacuum driver floorboard since there will be pictures made of it.

Step Three : Remove old, worn out brake pedal cover.

Step Four : Remove aftermarket brake pedal cover from ridiculously oversized Amazon box that's still in the passenger side floorboard.

Step Five : Take a picture of the old and new covers together to make fun of the old one.

Step Six : Install new brake pedal cover.

Step Seven : Remove new brake pedal cover and re-install right side up..

Prius (2010-12) :: No Vacuum Sound In Brake Pedal

ABS, Traction, Brake (red & yellow) bulbs in.

ABS not working

Reduced brake efficiency

Heated brake disks

Regeneration charge indication doesn't go to left side much. But slightly charges battery.

ABS fuses ok in engine room

No vacuum sound in brake pedal

But faster brake actuator sound (every 5sec stop 2sec sound) on stopped ready mode in P. Engine not running.

Bit history;

I had brake light fuse blown. But not knowing was pressing brake pedal hard to start / goto ready mode as display said. So after replacing fuse, had the traction bulb on. After it was reset. Everything was fine. Apart from increased vacuum sound in brake pedal.

Prius (2010-12) :: Woof Noise When Stepped On Brake Pedal

I had a problem with my brakes about 4 months ago. They were making a barking noise when I stepped on the brake pedal. The dealer bled the brakes and reflashed software. Now the problem is back and they say I probably new a new brake actuator. It should be covered by the extended warranty. I hope a new actuator will fix this. I like everything else about the car. (Have 37,000 miles)

Prius (2010-12) :: Swoosh Noise When Press The Brake Pedal

I am looking to buy a 2012 Prius and I test drove it. Everything seems ok except each time I press the brake pedal there is a swoosh noise its as if air is being released from somewhere and I can easily hear it. Is this normal? the car is 95000 km on it. The dealer says it might be a normal hybrid noise. I currently have a 2007 Prius but that does not make this noise.

Prius (2010-12) :: Squealing Noise When Lifting Off Brake Pedal?

I recently purchased a new (to me) 2010 prius and I've been noticing that sometimes, but not always, I hear a fairly loud noise when lifting my foot off the brake pedal. It sounds like a squeak or squeal, and I want to say I can almost feel a tiny bit of resistance in the pedal when it happens though that could be in my head. The noise does NOT occur when pushing down on the pedal (only when lifting), and it seems to only occur when the car is stopped.

Phaeton :: Parking Brake Pedal Stuck / How To Release

This morning I drove my car to see my dentist. When I parked I engaged the parking brake as I always do out of habit. However this time when I was done at the dentist and got in my car I tried to disengage the parking brake pedal and it wouldn't release. It kept going lower. Now I think its pretty much floored. I had to leave the car in the parking lot as it started to rain heavily. How to release the brake pedal. ? I think it must just be a stuck lever or gear thats preventing the release mechanism from working. Any pics or have dis-assembled a parking brake pedal on the phaeton before.

Prius (2010-12) :: Slip Indicator Light On Then Off After Depress Brake Pedal

So I noticed this has happened a few times.. If I press on the brake pedal too hard, the indicator light will come on and then turn off a few moments after I depress the brake pedal. This has happened when the car is stationary as well as when I was coming to a stop, it's happened maybe 5 times since I picked the car up a few weeks ago. Is this normal behavior or an indication of a problem? Just an FYI, I'm not talking about when the indicators light up when first starting the car.. This is tied strictly to pressing the brake pedal hard.

Prius (2010-12) :: Low Rumble / Groan From Brake Pedal Area Once Stopped

My 2015 Prius with 1,300 miles on it makes a rumble/grumble/moaning/groaning sound after I have come to a complete stop. It can be felt in/on the brake pedal. (Stop light, etc) It lasts for a few seconds then stops.This low rumble has me concerned. It has a slight vibration to it too. (again this is NOT while driving. Only once stopped and foot resting on the brake pedal) I can't confirm it has anything to do with the braking system but seems to come from the general area of the brake pedal and when foot is on the brake. So I assume it's the brake system.

I know about the typical brake servo actuator noise (which is completely normal and I am very familiar with) but thats a light unintrusive noise. Distinct from this low grown noise. (I know the difference) I hope I am correct in assuming the computer would detect if there's anything wrong and throw a light... but I'm new to Priuses. Is this a normal sound/vibration? I know these cars do a lot of electric things so if it's normal, I'll try to ignore it.

Prius (2010-12) :: Soft Swoosh Noise When Stepping On The Brake Pedal?

I recently purchased a 2014 Prius with the package 5 trim. I'm completely loving the car, but noticed when stepping on the brake pedal I hear a soft "swoosh" noise from under the dash. Almost like a short vacuum or sucking sound. The car has 500 miles, and I don't recall hearing that noise initially.

Santa Fe (CM - 2007-12) :: Parking / Emergency Brake Pedal Adjustments

I went to adjust my Santa Fe's parking brake (pedal version) and am trying to troubleshoot. The pedal goes all the way to the floor, something like 11+ clicks....

I jacked up the rear end, pulled the tires off, rotated the drum so that I could access the adjusting nut and used a flat head screwdriver to rotate it all the way back to where it wouldn't rotate anymore. After that I clicked it ~5-7 clicks. Same process on each side.

Went to go test the pedal, still goes to the floor, same number of clicks, etc.

Tried to locate an adjusting nut for the pedal but cannot find one, if one exists. The fuse box sits perfectly in the way but I was able to view everything with a little bit of effort and still couldn't locate the mythical adjusting nut.

I know I did the adjustment on the rear brakes correctly so it's an issue with the pedal/cable/nut.
