| Description of the problem | Driving on freeway at approximately 45 miles per hour during rush hour. Brake lights appeared ahead, so i applied brakes. My vehicle failed to stop or slow down and i noticed increased resistance on the brake pedal. I continued to apply pressure to the brake pedal and the vehicle eventually stopped. Luckily, there was a good distance between me and the car ahead of me, and i was eventually able to stop and avoid collision. I brought the car to the shop to be checked out. The shop called toyota, and they knew right away exactly what part needed to be replaced. Price tag of $2600 for just the part. A week prior to this incident, dash lights came on with warning to "check vsc system". Brought the car in for oil change and to check the warning light. No problem was detected, the warning light was reset. This light had come on again just prior to the brake failure. |
