The problem was identified in a number of vehicle models, multiple recalls were made starting in 2019, and the Prius V (mine is a 2015) was excluded from that recall.  After a road trip from Phoenix, AZ to Albequerque, NM, I started noticing a \"farting\" noise while braking. The extended service program had closed the month prior. I had the car inspected at my local AAA service department prior to leaving. The problem got worse, the braking is squishy and inconsistent, so I took it back to the shop.  They've told me that my ABS system is not functioning and needs to be replaced.  I called a dealership about the issue, and they said they can't honor the warranty unless Toyota does. They gave me the contact number for Toyota's Customer Care line, and I requested an appeal or exception which was denied.   I have 85,000 miles on the car. It hasn't even rolled over yet. I don't drive very much and didn't drive really at all for almost 3 years between 2020 and 2023 since I was working online. There is nothing I could possibly have done to contribute to this issue, so it is CLEARLY a manufacturer error. Any issue with brakes poses a serious threat to safety and must be taken seriously. The repair cost is over $5,000, and MOST households cannot absorb that cost. If more vehicles are having similar issues, then I GUARANTEE you that there are more cars on the road right now with unstable brake systems that may fail at crucial moments.  I have an appointment on Monday 2/10/24 with a the dealership service center. I have no idea if I'll be able to cover the cost of the repairs.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2014","productMake":"TOYOTA","productModel":"PRIUS V","manufacturer":"Toyota Motor Corporation"}]}]}
