| Description of the problem | Brake actuator failure. My 2006 toyota highlander hybrid limited just had a failure of the brake actuator that was diagnosed by texas toyota grapevine. Unfortunately this failure happened after the time that was covered under a warranty enhancement program from toyota for this defective part. I called toyota usa and they said since the part did not fail during the time of the warranty enhancement they will not help. Fortunately no one in my family was injured during the failure nor was there any property or bodily injury to anyone else. As expected, i will not buy another toyota since they placed my family's lives in danger due to a known defective part that should have been replaced under a recall. |
