Description of the problem	I have a 2006 toyota highlander hybrid limited. The brakes started working improperly. We had it checked out by local toyota dealership. The mechanic said the abs acuator needed to be replaced. My wife and i done some research, this component is suppose to last the life of vehicle. From what i've seen online toyota will not step up to the plate and recall this part because of cost! This is a vital safety part and cost should not even be part if the equation. To replace this part it costs $2500 to $3500 thruogh the dealership we went to. We can not replace family members if something bad happens. Some one please help , this will end up costing some one their life! The vihicle was in motion when the brake pedal got very hard and would not engage the brakes at all. We almost hit a vehicle in front of us, at the last minute brakes engaged and no incident happened. We have parked the car ever since and will not drive it until toyota recalls part!
