Description of the problem	In august of 2017 we were driving our 20088 toyota highlander hybrid and all of sudden the display warned of abs vsc malfunction and to pull over or take car to nearest dealer, the brake pedals lost compression or pressure and the brake was not working hardly. Took to the mechanic shop that has been doing the regular maintenance, they performed diagnostics and stated abs module needed to be replaced. They advise car was not safe to drive. Checked this website and carcomplaints to see many other users same issue, contacted toyota, they stated they had no recalls, its out of warranty, we would have to pay the $4000 to have fixed, we paid for the repair out of pocket, which was a financial hit for us. Contacted toyota today about reimbursement for repair cost, said they dont have it recalled or a campaign for the issue, i stated this website with the complaints and other sites, was basically told until a recall is on the issue, wouldnt be refunded.
