 Description of the problemWhile driving at about 40mph, the brake light and "check vsc system" and "abs" warning lights all came on simultaneously. The brakes were very stiff and difficult to engage as i tried to stop for a traffic light coming up. I had to literally stand on the brakes to avoid colliding with the car in front of me. It was very scary! I turned around and drove straight home, but all lights went off and the brakes returned to normal. I could not duplicate the problem and we dismissed it as a fluke. Then it happened a week later. This time the warning lights were on when i started the car at home. The brakes then reengaged while i was backing out of my driveway. As i put the car in reverse, i heard a loud bang/thunk. I thought i hit something but there was nothing there when i got out to look. That's when i noticed all warning lights had gone out and my brakes were normal again. I took my car to liberty toyota in colorado springs where they ran a diagnostic and said i needed a new brake switch, which cost me $180. Three weeks later the same problem was back with the warning lights coming on intermittently. I learned to drive with manual brakes for a few weeks and to just go much slower because i needed my car. I noticed the same loud clunking sound any time the brakes would reengage (usually when i was idling or going very slowly, getting ready to accelerate) and the warning lights would go out. I took my car back to toyota yesterday and now they tell me that it's probably the actuator, which will cost me about $3,000! Plus my "check hybrid system" warning light came on and they said that one cell in my battery is bad. I need a new battery, which runs $4,000! What a headache!
