I've driven a Mk3 Prius, when you brake in an emergency fashion, The disc brakes are engaged, it's only under partial or light braking that you get the regen. then a swap to the discs to finally bring you to a stand.

It is not the fact that Toyota has a minor problem with the Prius brakes, or sudden acceleration, or bad ball joints, or rusting frames, or leaky fuel systems that bothers me...it is that in every case, Toyota's first reaction is to deny there is a problem, the second reaction is to blame the Customer, the third reaction is to blame a supplier,, etc......at least in the past they never seemed to be willing to face up to facts - they designed the vehicles, they built the vehicles, and they sold the vehicles to what they keep claiming or incompetent Customers......When is Toyota going to honestly admit, they screwed up? So far all I've heard are a bunch insincere sounding apologies and promises to do better in the future. Ed

As I've already pointed out, I've already received a recall notice on my Auris, and our government hasn't mentioned anything about it. -- Clive
