| Description of the problem | I almost got in to an accident on 5/11/2018 due to the abs system not stopping the vehicle while driving in i-95. I got a warning light on the dash as i was pressing the brakes, later the car did not wanted to stop, but it did not prevent me from hitting the other car. I press on the emergency brake and i was able to stop the car. Later, i took the car to get diagnose and put error codes c1391, abs accumulator leak or malfunction. Contacted delray toyota in delray beach, fl and they deny to do a recall when there is an extented warranty recall on camry and prius model line for the same problem. Called toyota corp. And they are denying to do anything to fix the safety problem with this vehicle. They stated that since there were not enough buyers for this model, they will not cover or make a recall on safety for the public. I have found over all the internet complaints about the same issue. I am looking for a resolution. A picture of the errors codes on the vehicle is included on the complaint. |
