Description:
We have a 2010 Toyota Prius. All the sudden we got errors/warnings on our dash about ABS and traction lights, and brake light, staying on all the time. Brakes extremely sluggish, and from doing research advised not to drive it. Toyota did a diagnostic test which came up as C1391, bad ABS booster pump and master cylinder. This is a huge safety issue, others have reported brakes completely going out on the highway, and also reporting Toyota is not paying for fixing the issue, and only ‘certain Priuses’ meet their criteria to pay for repairs. There supposedly was a recall at some point but we NEVER received it. I have contacted Toyota America and waiting to hear back. It is going to be very expensive to repair, about $3500-$4500. Yes, it is a 2010, but from what I’m reading and hearing is a MAJOR safety issue and Toyota needs to be held responsible and honor/extend any and all recalls. Again, I’m waiting to hear back from them, but was advised by many other Prius owners to file a complaint with NHTSA.
