| Description of the problem | Told by toyota dealer that the brake actuator accumulator pump assembly has internal pressure loss. Statement followed by "shouldn't normally do that" and "$3200. 00 to repair". Next, i was informed that the issue effects anti-lock braking system. While driving and coming to a stop the braking becomes difficult. It feels as if the power is lost in the brakes and takes much more force on the pedal to make stop. However this problem is not consistent, at times the breaking is normal, but after driving for a while the hard to brake issue arises. |
