    I have seen a few people on the forum with this issue.
    Firmware is not helping
    Dealer states everything is fine
    Well I replaced a major part required but still having the same issue and now I will have someone
    from Toyota head quarters to take a look at my Prius this week.
    I am sure this is an isolated issue and hope to find a solution for a few of us.

    Will update on Friday...

    Wish me luck, I need it.

    Mine groan fairly loudly when parking brake is engaged and I get in or out of the car. It's annoying but learning to live with it.

    Mine was making a noise, and there was a TSB that was applied by the dealer (firmware update), and resolved the issue for me.
