My 2012 prius v started showing the warning lights for brakes, ABS, anti-skid and engine lights. This happened while driving on a regular road. Brakes still work but feel spongy. Scanned for codes and it says c1391 which requires replacing all the main brake components. The cost is over $3000 because so many parts involved. There's seems to have been a recall for other models of prius but the 'v' not included. Many v owners have experienced this problem. All the parts shown in the attached picture need to be replace cause toyota doesn't know or can't figure out where the problem is. Car only has 68,000 miles on it
