Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I have a brake problem with my 2006 toyota prius. several times (at least 6 times) the brakes have failed to function when i try to stop. the car does not respond when i press the brake pedal and continues to move forward several seconds. so far i have been lucky and not have had an accident but it has been close several times. i have taken the car to the dealership twice but they have not found any problems. they tell me that in order to correct the problem, they must replicate the problem in order to fix it and so far this has not been possible. this keeps happening and i feel very unsafe while driving. *tr
