| Description of the problem | While i was driving on level ground with the foot lightly on the accelerator, a warning bell and various warning lights went off (including abs and check vsc system). When i put on the brakes i had to push much harder than usual in order to slow the vehicle. These conditions continued for three miles, at which point the warning signals discontinued and the braking returned to normal. Both an independent repair shop and the local toyota dealer did not find error codes or identify a cause for what i experienced. The dealer installed a new brake fluid reservoir as part of a limited service campaign. It would not, however, install a new brake actuator assembly or brake stroke sensor as part of the ze1 warranty enhancement since it did not find error codes. Toyota's national customer experience center would also not authorize the replacement of these parts due to a lack of error codes. Six months and 5000 miles later the problem has not happened again.
