| Description of the problem | When i tried to apply brakes to stop, i realized that the brake had completely failed and i was on the 110 freeway on a busy monday morning. Luckily i didn't rear end the car in front of me. The dealer is telling me that my brake system (accuator and electronic components) are out. The car computer system cannot communicate to the brake system and thus i might loose brakes if i keep running. The check vsc system light turned on along with the abs, hybrid battery, park and all other alert lights on the dash board. In addition, i'm told my auxillary battery is also out ($460) dealer is charging me $4800 dollar (excluding the aux battery) and i don't know what to do since the car is with the dealer and i'm told the brakes will fail if i continue to drive. I have 104,000 miles and have done all servicing at toyota dealers. No warranties and basically they can't help. *js |
