Consumer Description
Brakes have failed with a DTC C1391 indicating an accumulator leak. The brake booster pump constantly runs. When the DTC is triggered the brake feel becomes suddenly different as regen braking is lost. Appears to be a very common and expensive repair. Toyota has already had recalls and extended repair program for these parts but they are now expired and not covered.
