Description of the problem	The first time the "check vsc system" (attachment) came up was about the first week of jan 2019 when i was driving on a city street. Since i was on the right hand land i was able to pull over to the side. After i turned off the engine and waited for 1 minute and turn the engine back on, the message "check vsc system" disappear from the dashboard. When i got home and searched for this error message many people says this could be due to a loose gas cap so i make sure it's tighten. Then about 2 weeks later on jan 17, 2019, the same issue happens again. This time i was in a parking lot and when i pressed on the brake pedal, the buzzer will chime before i even start the engine. When i start the engine then the "check vsc system" comes on and it doesn't go away. I tried to turn the engine on and off multiple times and it doesn't resolve the issue like last time. I also noticed when i step on the brake pedal, it provides virtually no break. It would take me a very long distance to bring the car to a stop and i am afraid to drive more than 25 mph. I took it to a mechanic for diagnostics and two codes came up for abs pump and abs motor. He tried to use his tool to turn on the abs pump it doesn't work. Then we found out about the brake warranty(attachment) but i when i went to the a toyota dealer, the dealer said the warranty had expired on 3/14/2018 since the first date of use was 3/14/2008. I believe since the secondary warranty was for 150k miles and my car has only 121k miles on it, it should be covered. If i had drive 20k per mile per year, this issue would have appeared two years ago which was within the warranty period.
