| Description of the problem | Started car in evening and got warning "brake malfunction, check abs, check vsc system". Took car to our mechanic and he found code c1391. Mechanic said part very expensive and recommended contacting toyota service as cost to repair would probably be similar. Mechanic said he had replaced for another customer (2004 model highlander) who after the repair got notice from toyota about recall repair last week. Toyota service said cost to repair is $4000! Reading on this site i see others with this issue. Definitely needs to be addressed by nhtsa. |
