| Description of the problem | The brake booster/acctuator has failed on my prius at about 76000 miles and i bought it used with 35000 miles. I have found out that this has been an issue with prius vehicles since 2006 and enhanced warranties have been issued on models from 2006 as well as 2010-2015. I have tried to call toyota to have them fix the issue but they say that my vehicle isnt covered under the warranty for some reason. What they said was that my parts maker wasnt covered under the warranty but if its a problem that has been prevelant in other prius vehicles, i dont understand why this wouldnt be covered regardless of who made the part. It has affected my braking randomly and has almost caused me to have an accident a couple times already. When diagnosed i got error code c1391 which was covered under the warranty enhancement letter i found yet toyota will not fix my vehicle. |
