Description of the problem	My abs actuator has completely failed. I was getting code c1391 when i first had the problem diagnosed and recently it finished failing completely. I was on the highway when it did and i severely lost brake pressure and almost got in a car accident because of it. This issue was recalled on regular prius hatchbacks but because the prius v's abs pump system is slightly different to compensate for the different weight of the prius v, the prius v doest fall under the extended warranty to have the issue fixed even though it is the exact same issue that the regular prius' have been having which they extended the warranty on. Im extremely frustrated because i have called my dealership as well as the toyota helpline to report this and they say that theres nothing they can do for me and that my car is just not covered under the extended warranty because the warranty didnt apply to prius v's even though its the same part having the same issue. I've been quoted $4,000 to have this fixed and i can't afford that right now.
