Consumer Description

Car keeps throwing a C1391 Abnormal Leak in Accumulator code. The ABS, traction control, and brake lights are all illuminated. Hissing sound from brake pedal. Spongy feel when braking and incredibly soft braking as well, very hazardous to driving and stopping. This is a known issue with the 2010-2015 Prius, and a quick internet search shows thousands of other Prius owners who also have this issue with their vehicles. It’s a safety hazard and can be potentially life threatening. Toyota is not doing anything to rectify this potentially fatal issue that impacts thousands of vehicles and vehicle owners and their families. Estimated cost of repair is upwards of $4,000 and simply not affordable to most consumers. Actions needs to be taken IMMEDIATELY by Toyota to recall these vehicles and fix them.
