| Description of the problem | Apparently my brakes lost significant brake pressure and i thought i might crash. Further when i start my car the brakes do not fully kick in until 5-10 seconds later so i tend to roll forward or backwards. I took the car to three dealerships and they all said my abs actuator was bad and needed to be replaced. The part costs $2,600 just to buy from toyota and then coast an additional $800 in labor to install. That is insane. I looked on the internet and her are tonsss of camrys with this problem. Clearly this as a design flaw and i should not have to pay to replace a part that toyota failed to design safely. Not i can't safely drive with the broken part.... |
