Description of the problem | While driving at approximately 30 mph on a city street, with children in vehicle, breaks failed and loud cabin alarm sound and abs, vsc and trac dash lights came on. I had to pull into a grassy swale, apply emergency break and down shift in order to stop and avoid crashing into traffic. Had vehicle towed to dealership. Abs pump break master cylinder was replaced at a cost of $3,300. I have read many posts in blogs from toyota owners with similar issue, and some that caused accidents. I had just come off the highway, so this could have caused a serious accident just minutes earlier. Merits an investigation. |
