Description of the problem	On 12/02/13 the brake light and vcs system light came on. The warning light also went on and a beep noise inside the cabin, brakes does not function (breaks not responding). I took the car to an authorized toyota dealership. According to the dealer codes (c1241 low or high power supply voltage, c1256 accumulator low pressure, and c1391 abnormal leak in accumulator) must be replaced the actuator assy, b part no. 4405048190. Actuator was replaced on 12/28/13 at $1,495 with tax for $ 1,600 and labor cost of $333. 84. Ust be replaced. On 05/25/15 again the brake light and vcs system light came on. The warning light also went on and a beep noise inside the cabin, brakes does not function (no break). I took the car to an authorized toyota dealership for a diagnostic and i pay $64. 20. Again they mentioned that for a second time the actuator assy, b part no. 4405048190 needs a replacement. I ask for the guarantee and only was valid for 1 year. Diagnostic trouble codes report (abs/vsc/trac), codes (c1252 break booster pump motor on time abnormally long, c1256, accumulator low pressure, c1391, abnormal leak in accumulator). I think that there is an electronic problem with the 2006 highlander hybrid and they do not know what the cause since is in a 6 years period the actuator assy was replaced and less than 1. 5 year again the same part (actuator assy) needs replacement, current price is $2,000. I cannot use the car the brakes are not responding and i can have an accident.
