Description of the problem	The car has been suffering all of the brake symptoms for the recall of the 2010 prius brake booster system. I've repeatedly complained about losing braking power when the abs light comes on when i go over uneven surfaces such as railroad tracks or a pothole. The brakes have benn farting from day one while sitting at a light or parked if the brakes are depressed and then slightly released. And now today the abs brakes are on with the battery light and there is limited braking power. I have to push almost all the way down before the brake engages. Toyota tells me i need to replace the brake booster system for $3500 and there are only 70,000 miles on my 2012 car. I feel my brakes have the same issues as the 2010 recall and more years including mine are affected and should be recalled.
