| Description of the problem | While driving my car on 40 miles/hour the brake light, abs, skid control, and maintenance light illuminated with a whistling sound too, also the dash board had check the vsc system warning. I was unable to stop the car due to braking system failure, so i pulled over to a close by gas station and stopped by hitting the curb. The car was taken to the dealership, and diagnosed as abs braking actuator system malfunction, and estimated repair cost is $2,200, it was out of the extended warranty by 4 months so i have to pay out of pocket for this particular manufacturer life threatening mistake that could take away my life if i couldn't stop the car. I contacted the toyota company 3 times they stated they are aware of the malfunction problem, but they have nothing to do with it, as it is not a recall yet, it's only under investigation. I know this happened to many cars of this model. And injuries occurred but toyota don't want to take full responsibility of their dangerous mistake. |
