Description of the problem	As i was driving on the freeway a warning alarm came on and on the display screen 3 messages flashed. The first message said, "break malfunction - please pull over safely and contact your service dealer immediately". The second message said, "check vsc" and third said, "check abs". On top of that all of the warning device lights came on the dashboard. This was alarming and disconcerting. I had to drive about 10 more miles before i could pull over and stop safely. The warning signs have not gone away and i will have to take it to the toyota service center. I have noticed multiple other complaints regarding the same issue. Seems to happen often with the 2008 model.
