Description of the problem	My 2012 prius v is only 90k miles. Starting from about 2 weeks ago, the warning lights including brake system warning light, abs warning light and slip indicator light were suddenly lit on when i was driving, then i found the regenerate brake become very hard and difficult to stop which was malfunctioning. These warning lights were kept on all the time when i drive the car. The car threw out code c1391 when given a diagnosis. After some online work, i found this is a very common problem for prius v. I went to the dealership however the dealership states that my car, based on its vin, is not in one of the certain cars covered by zjb phase 2 which covers brake booster and brake booster pump assemblies for certain 2011-2015 model year prius vehicles. The failure of the brake could be a deadly deficiency to all the people in the car when driving. Now i have to think to stop using this car because of the severe security risk. Toyota should take action to solve all this problem for all involved cars, not certain cars. My car is made in 2012, the diagnosis code c1391 given by my car are falling into one of the four codes associated with the brake problem covered by zjb phase 2. It is ridiculous that my car was not issued this extended warranty.
