I was at highway speed when four annunciator lights illuminated on the dash (master warning, brake system warning light, abs warning light, slip indicator). I decelerated vehicle using engine power then applied brakes. Brake pedal depressed approx. 3/4 travel (much further than normal) before braking action felt. I stopped vehicle, recycled power and warning lights remained illuminated and brake responsiveness was unchanged. Upon reaching destination, I downloaded error code (c1391) then called local Toyota service center. Informed that enhanced warranty letter zjb addressed this issue, however coverage expired 6 weeks ago. Service center directed me to Toyota customer care. Toyota customer care confirmed that the repair coverage had recently expired and they were not able to offer any assistance whatsoever. Due to the global pandemic, my driving had been severely curtailed since March. Now July, a required work trip led to this malfunction. This issue should be classified as a recall and not a warranty with an expiration. A major, flee-wide braking issue should require the manufacturer to repair.

Intermittently, several warning lights come on at once while driving: traction control, brake, and abs lights.

Abs light stays on, I have no brakes when emergency braking, there was a Toyota Prius recall on brake master cylinder and booster pump but Toyota said it was not for my vehicle. My problem is exactly the same problem as other Prius brake recalls but Toyota will not cover it. Less then 65,000 miles on the car . How can a master cyl be bad by now, they usually last over 100,000 miles. Very unsafe , and may kill someone. This should be covered by Toyota with all the other brake recall problems with this year and model.

My car had the abs warning light on and I heard a strange noise in the engine compartment. Last year. On October 7, 2017, I was driving on the highway and another driver cut me off, so I had to break hard. The car pulled hard to one side and I hit the retaining wall. Fortunately, the damage to the car was on the bumper cover only, and I was not injured, so I was able to continue driving. The dealer ran diagnostics on my car after the crash and reported I needed to have certain parts replaced. Toyota safety recall 13v-235 describes exactly the symptoms my car shows and requires replacement of exactly the same parts. The only problem is that my car's VIN does not fall in the range Toyota reported in the recall. Apart from that , the problem is the same. My accident could have been very serious had the retaining wall that stopped me not been there. I could have been in the center lanes and the story would have been very different, even with me surviving the accident.
On October 7, 2017 a driver cut me off on the highway, I pressed my brakes hard and the vehicle pulled to the side and I hit the retaining wall. The impact was not too hard and I was able to continue travelling. The abs warning light is on and I hear a strange humming noise under the hood. The dealer ran diagnostics and said I needed to replace two main parts in the brake system. I found a Toyota safety recall 13v-235 affecting other Prius 2010 that describes exactly the same problem and requires replacement of exactly the same parts indicated in the safety recall. The only problem is that Toyota reported this problem in vehicles of the same year and model, but my car's VIN was not included in their indicated range. Thank you for your help.
Abs and break light lit while going 55 mph. Lost antilock break feature. Local port st lucie tire and break diagnosed bad master cylinder and nitrogen leak into break lines. Found recall on similar 2010 Prius' due to nitrogen leakage into break lines.
Abs light came on. Diag code: c1391. Abnormal leak in accumulator. This problem is similar to a recall on Prius 2010 for abs brake issue. However, Toyota said that my Prius is not part of the recall.

I was driving my vehicle at about 35 mph on a two lane, hilly road. Suddenly, the abs and warning lights started flashing, and there was a loud beeping noise. I pressed the brake pedal, and there was no response. Since I was traveling uphill, I slowed and then used my emergency brake to come to a complete stop. After the vehicle was towed to a Toyota dealer and diagnosed, I was informed that there was an internal leak in the hydraulic unit of the braking system, and that the abs pump module and brake master cylinder needed replacement. This was a very similar issue to a recall of other 2010 Toyota Prius vehicles, but the recall does not apply to my VIN number. Toyota claims that the problem was "remedied" before my vehicle was produced even though one of my trouble codes is the same as the trouble code referred to in the recall.

In the morning I started my car and the abs light and warning lights came on and started beeping. I reversed my car slightly to check the brakes and noticed my brakes were not being responsive. I put the vehicle into park and called the wondries Toyota dealership and told them my brakes were not functioning properly and my abs warning light was on. Despite my having informed them of my brake failure, they told me to bring the car into the dealership. I reversed out of my garage, shifted the car into drive, and proceeded down the hill with caution. I did not press on the accelerator. My car began to accelerate down the hill due to gravity and reached a speed of approximately 15 mph, at which time I pumped the brake pedal but the car would not stop or slow down, and it continued moving down the hill. At the bottom of the hill, after traveling approximately 1/4 of a mile, I turned right into a small street with a slight incline in order to stop the momentum. My car slowed and I put on the emergency brake and put the car into park. I called my brother for help. When he arrived, I turned the car on to show him the flashing abs warning. It flashed for about another 15 seconds before suddenly stopping. My brakes then began functioning again though they felt spongy when I pressed down on it. I turned on my emergency lights and drove slowly to the dealership. I parked the car and turned off the engine. When a representative came by, I turned on the car and she pressed down on the brake to feel them. The abs lights suddenly came on again and she said the brake pressure did not feel right and there was something definitely wrong with my brakes. After it was assessed I was informed I needed a new abs actuator assembly and an accumulator pump for the master cylinder. Total cost was estimated as $4600.
