Description of the problem	Warranty enhancement letter zg1 brakes failed to engage for the owner and a third-party mechanic. Mechanic suggested it was the abs system and recommended to take it to the dealership. I was told of the warranty letter zg1; mechanic at dealership read codes (c1345 and c1368). They attempted a re-calibration but was unsuccessful. The recommendation was to replace the actuator. Toyota corporate was contacted to see if this would fall under the warranty for replacement. They declined replacement because none of the following codes were noted (c1391, c1252, c1253, c1256). The warranty verbiage does not state these codes must be indicated, but instead says they "may be illuminated". My argument is that if there is a known problem with the actuator, regardless of which codes were illuminated, then this component should be replaced by toyota. At this point, i have not been told if it is safe to operate my highlander and depend on the braking system or not.
