Description of the problem	I have a 2008 tch with 53k miles and the vsc warning light, brake light and several others first appeared on a cold morning during a cross country trip from ca to nc. A complete loss of breaking at 40 mph is a scary thing!!! Brought it to dealer. Cleared the code. Well, about a week later in raleigh the vsc warning light was on when we arrived and the dealer recorded code c1391, abnormal pressure inside the accumulator. The fix, a new abs accumulator- with parts labor and tax just under $2700- because the part is not under warranty- only up to 3/36000! Seems like it should be since this is a common issue with tch's. Now i don't know what to do or who to believe!!! Because i had no choice, i shelled out and had toyota of apex, nc replace the part. Man was i mad! Toyota didn't step up and own this clearly defective part. Smartly,k i also purchased an extended warranty from a vendor. Well wouldn't you know about 14 months later my wife is driving with the kids and almost wrecked when the brakes went out, this time with no warning! Diagnosis? C1931 again!!!! I couldn't believe. The same dealer toyota of apex, nc told me the part was now $3200. I had them pull the history. They seemed genuinely shocked. Even put me in a loaner for several days and promised toyota would take care of this one. Ha! Shame on toyota again- they said sorry. Part out of 12 month warranty... Here's your bill for 3200. At this point, i knew it was time to get rid of this defective car before someone got seriously injured or even worse, killed. Two times toyota refused to accept any responsibility, i'm sure it will catch up to them eventually.
