| Description of the problem | I replaced my brakes after several warning lights and codes kept popping up on my dash. Had the rotors turned. But when i returned to driving my car after i thought it was fixed the brakes would all of a sudden just go out the hydraulic part would go completely to the floor. The car would make a high pitched noise and then no brakes. Took it to toyota in clinton tn. Said my abs brake actuator was failing. Would cost me 2200 dollars to fix. This certain part on your car is supposed to last you a lifetime. I dont have money like that now it was take me a lifetime to save up for the repairs. Very scary. This would happen to me randomly as i was driving no matter where or how far the trip i was taking. Didn't know if i was going to be able to make it home sometimes. You just never knew when. Sometimes it would be fine and others it would be absolutely scary. |
