    hi everyone

    I recently bought a CPO prius from authorized dealer. it has 40k miles and usual brake barking.

    Most engine starts with barking. (foot on brake, push start button and take off fot from pedal) when calm city driving barks at red light stoppings. I also noticed after 2-3 min after turn off the engine, barks (brake pedal free) shortly.

    Another thing is during panic braking (40 mph - 0) lot of tire slipping, no abs light is on. is it normal?
    abs feels like working and hits 1-2 times. Tires Goodyear Integrity 195 65 R15 I attached braking video and tire condition pictures. I have no idea about it requires to recall, recalled or not.

    Any thoughts appreciated. Thanks a lot.

    Sounds normal to me. That noise is the ABS and the traction control, controlling the brakes.

    It's difficult to be 100% sure from the video but it does seem to sound like mine under emergency braking. If you are in doubt, check with a dealer.
