They were the slip indicator light, the brake light, and the ABS light.  I also heard a short, repeating buzzing sound coming from the front of the car that I had never heard before.  As I was driving, the brake suddenly felt loose.  Luckily, this happened as I was pulling out of a shopping center parking lot, so I was able to pull over to the side of the road instead of getting on the highway, which I was about to do.    The following day, a Toyota dealer indicated that the issue was the brake booster pump/actuator system and that my car returned with error code C1391.  The dealer indicated that this is a known problem with Priuses within my year range.  I was told that I would have to replace both the pump and actuator.    After talking to the dealer, I realized that there had been subtle clues of this problem beforehand.  In the few months leading up to this incident, sometimes if I hit a big bump in the road, for a moment the Slip indicator light would flash and I would feel like I had no control of the car i.e. I was ever so briefly slipping.  However,  because this happened so briefly and when I hit a bump and everything went back to normal, I didn't think this was an actual problem, but now I believe this was an early sign of the brake failure.  I contacted Toyota Corporate Office.  They confirmed that this was an issue known to them with Priuses and said that they had sent letters to the previous owner of the car in 2019 offering an extended warranty not a recall.  However, apparently, the previous owner had not fixed the problem and the extended warranty expired.  Toyota refused to pay for the repair for this and refused to forward a copy of the 2019 letter to me,.  This brake defect is a serious issue with no major warning signs.  As of this writing, the part is available for inspection.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2014","productMake":"TOYOTA","productModel":"PRIUS","manufacturer":"Toyota Motor Corporation"}]}]}
