2006 Toyota HIGHLANDER HYBRID Service Brakes Problems, Complaints and Defects

Description of the problem	While attempting to make a stop at an intersection during city driving the brake pedal became very hard to press down and several warning lights came on my vehicle dashboard. At first, the problem was intermittent but progressively got worst over continued driving. I took my vehicle to my local toyota dealer for inspection. The service manager informed me that i had a problem with the abs brake system module and the repair was about $2,600. 00. I parked the vehicle because it was no longer safe to drive and to many close calls. Later i found out that this 2006 toyota highlander hybrid and several proceeding model years had a very extensive consumer complaint number for this very same abs brake system concern. I contacted the service manager at the same local toyota dealership about a warranty at which time the service manager informed me that my warranty expired which i never was informed. It seems to me personally this is how the air bag safety problem was over looked on these vehicles until consumers lost their lives on faulty consumer products that got progressively worst over time. Several of the other import manufacture have offered recalls on the very same abs system brake concern. Toyota has yet to offer a recall several model years into this safety concern with the abs brake system. If we as consumers can't stop our vehicles while driving on the city streets or highways accidents happen and people die. This safety concern has gone on long enough with thousands of complaints over the years for the same abs brake system concern. There must be a much better job at protecting the consumer safety from continued safety concerns not being addressed by toyota. All the other import manufactures have step up with recalls, whats taking toyota manufactures so long after years of the same safety concerns. Please help us with this abs brake system concern.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.

Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
