| Description of the problem | 11/15/19 originally the car showed brake, abs, antiskid and engine idiot lights went to the dealer with a code c1391. They said i need to replace the master cylinder and the power booster for $2600. Then they said it was policy to also replace the brake booster pump assembly for an additional $2,000 or a total of $4600. After i complained that they had recalled 972,000 other prius but didn't include the prius v they said i only needed to replace the master cylinder and power booster and said they would do it for $1,516. 89. So then i go to take the car to the service department today 12/4/19 and while sitting there the idiot lights all turn off and the brake start to function normally own its own... I ask the service representative what his thoughts were and he said i should still make the repairs, but he couldn't say what they would do it came back. So i'm going to drive the car for a week to see. While i'm waiting can you please do a recall on the brake pump assemebly since these folks dont even know what the heck is going on with this car. It appears its not either device and its a computer glitch that they haven't resolved... Help us prius owners please!!! |
