| Description of the problem | My wife was driving from work as she was approaching a stop light she hit the brakes to stop. To her surprise almost all the lights on the dashboard came on simultaneously. And there was no brakes so instead of hitting the car in front of her she went over the curve to avoid hitting the car. It cost us a rim and tire. I m just glad she or someone else wasn't injured. Since then my wife refuses to drive the car never again she told me and wished me good luck. I have drove the car myself and have experience the same issue where all the abs and brake lights come on and there's total loss of brakes. I have taken the vehicle to the mechanic and told me is the abs actuator pump that goes bad without notice. He told me its not the first time a customer has came in with this problem on the 2007 and 2008. I guess they change something on abs pumps on the 2009 and newer vehicles that's why they don't have this problem. I just hope the nhtsa looks into this defect part before somebody gets hurt or kill. Its a serious problem especially when your dealing with vehicle brakes not functioning the way there suppose to that we all depend on. The reason why toyota haven't done a voluntary recall is because of the cost of the abs actuator it's expansive at around 2,500 to 3,000 they know they have a problem in there hands. But if they refuse to acknowledge this problem is going to cost them more if somebody gets seriously hurt or kill . *tt |
