u/Legalize_Euthanasia_

Just learned about it today. 3 years disabled and I’ve never seen it before.

From despair to hope, I think I may be able to fix the brake booster myself. Watched a few videos, it looks manageable. I'll give myself a whole day. I swapped out my battery packs last year following videos and everything went swimmingly.

But I don't know where to buy parts for the best price. I know every dealer is different, but this is quite the chunk of change. I'll call those in my area, but what dealerships with online stores would be worth looking for right now?

Thanks again!

Edit: Is there a tutorial for which part I should actually choose? I'm seeing multiple exact fits for the master cylinder with different part numbers.

(I visited the askatl sub but it looks dead)

my brakes went soft while I was driving. it’s a known problem for this generation of prius, I just didn’t expect to run into it so soon. the brake booster/antilock system needs to be replaced. the regular mechanics my family visits do not touch hybrids at all.

I live in south Cobb but I can travel anywhere if anyone has recommendations or knows a toyota technician that does side work.

thank you!

my fear has come to pass

2014 210k miles

while driving the brakes went soft and lights lit up. I read a comment that hearing the clicking noise meant the abs would fail. here we are.

i got a number for a guy on Facebook weeks ago in anticipation of this. but I don’t know the process. what do I need to buy? what equipment do I need to make sure he has?

I’m in Atlanta. Our normal family mechanic doesn’t touch hybrids. The hybrid shops are very far away and I’m not sure if I can do this myself.

any help is appreciated!

Edit: I turned the ac back on and now everything is fine. Grippy brakes again. Super strange. Could the battery possible to blame? is there anything else I should consider?

edit2: arrived home. Turned off ac. Lights did not return.

I’ve been investing every dollar I have at the end of the month for a year now.

i was waiting for disability, but it’s been 3.5 years so far and I doubt I’ll get it. I started Caplyta a few weeks ago and have been able to work more.

i have a few hundred extra dollars even after blowing past my investment goal. I haven’t bought myself anything in a while.

i got video game consoles last year, but I hardly play. I don’t really enjoy anything. I guess I could keep investing, but that would make my life feel even more monotonous somehow...

have a 2014 I got last year. 180k, now 207k. had the head gasket done, I put in a new battery. I drive for uber

saw the 2017 for 5500. I’m intrigued. for uber, your car has to be less than 15 years old so I have to switch constantly.

I’m aware of the heater bypass, is there anything else to beware on the gen 4? the battery is probably due, maybe suspension too. this would still be a good deal for me long term. I don’t mind waiting a few years until I absolutely need one as well.

I feel like the government is orchestrating my demise, pestering me with failures, pressuring me into submission. everyone is fake, everything is fake, and everyone knows.

all signs point to mass coordination at my peril.

Caplyta was working so well. I thought. I remember coming to in the hospital as I muttered to myself the mantra that plagued me for years. “no, I’m wrong. I’m sick and the drugs are helping.” a moment of clarity that I cherish

I feel myself falling into the same spirals. my intellect is working against me. it was fierce, and now it pierces. the voices have become sharper and my armor is no more.

every day i think of death. I’m not afraid to go, I just need to stop this.

I had breakthrough symptoms on geodon. maybe this is more of the same? I’ll try waiting it out I guess. but my patience has worn out.
