| Description of the problem | Driving down the freeway in the rain an extremely loud alarm went off and the vsc, brake, abs, and triangle lights were on without my foot being on the brake pedal. The car would not stop and fortunately i was able to slow down without incident. I took the car to toyota on the following monday in dry weather and was getting off the freeway and the left front brake locked up and skidded 30 feet. This time i almost hit 2 cars but was able to steer clear. The dealer told me it was the actuator. This is the 3rd time this car was in for those lights going off and disables the power generators for help in slowing down. It also happens in the car wash. I have never felt the abs work on this car since i've owned it. It always set the code and disables it. It's in the shop right now as i'm writing this waiting for me to say fix it for $3000. ? I was hoping nhtsa would investigate this car before it's fixed to see the problem everybody is complaining about. My wife says she will never drive this car again after its fixed. It was a very frightening situation. |
