| Description of the problem | The vsdc warning came on with code c1391, which means the abs pump accumulator assembly has gone bad, which costs thousands of dollars to fix. When i contacted toyota, they said they extended the warranty on this and that extension ran out a couple of years ago. However, this makes no sense to extend a warranty on a part you have admitted is bad and a safety hazard, as the brakes will fail after this faulty part remains in the dysfunctional state. It appears to me that toyota, was trying to appease as few as people as possible by extending a warranty on something as dangerous as this. They refuse to fix the problem, even though it will cause death to many. The mechanic said this has happened to many toyota highlanders, per his information too. *js *js |
