Brake complaints dominate what owners report for the 2014 Prius Plug-In. Multiple owners describe the brake pedal requiring unusually hard pressure to slow the vehicle, with some reporting that braking felt significantly reduced at highway speeds. Several complaints also involve the ABS, traction control, and brake warning lights illuminating together, in some cases accompanied by ABS fault codes. The fuel and propulsion system is the other frequently mentioned area, though the brake complaints are notably more detailed across reports. The seatbelt category shows only a single report, making it an isolated mention rather than a pattern. The brake-related complaints cluster around two symptoms: a stiff or unresponsive pedal and simultaneous warning light activation across the ABS, traction control, and brake systems.
