    I have a 2004 Prius the brakes are grabbing or pulsating very bad. I've replaced front pads and rotors rear shoes and drums have been turned. Nothing has changed whatsoever. The car has 435,000 miles and mostly used for food delivery and is used 7 days per week. My Grandson says the car is twerking lol. Please help I don't know where to go from here. Thanks

    And you have no codes nothing up on the display this is like the break actuator problem acting up or you may need to just bleed the brakes because the person that did your brakes let air in the system but imagine you were doing the breaks because you were having this twerking problem usually when this is going on there is something amiss with the brake actuator or in that system the accumulator the pump Do you hear the brake pump running all the time I mean it'll be kind of ridiculous every time you enter and get in the car not even touching the brake necessarily you'll hear the break actuator pump up the accumulator it'll bleed down and it'll get pumped back up and this goes on and on and on
