Description of the problem	My 2008 highlander abs is failed and that put our family and others in danger because of the abs is not working properly. The lights keep stayed on doesn't matter what you do, reset it or not. The brakes stopped working, the siren inside the vehicle making buzzy noise when open the door or attempt to start the vehicle. I've done many research online regarding to the toyota hybrid models and found many disappointed customers reviews, they all point to the abs platform design flaws by toyota just like the abs on camry hyrids & other hybrids models that has recalled. I took my vehicle to a local toyota dealer as suggest by toyota presentative, the same toyota dealership where i bought my two camry from; paid $125 to have them checked out my highlander abs and the results tuned out to be both abs actuator (47070-48010) and abs pump (44510-48080) are failed and the costs to have both fix is $5240. 46 while the vehicle only worth between $8000-$9000 which is more than half of the vehicle’s value, for just a few small defective parts made by toyota, which i do believe that the cost is ridiculously high and because of the manufacture design flaws & not from end users fault. See attached quotes from dealer. I've called toyota twice to brought to their attention but i got disappointed results instead. Case # 1604020974. Toyota offer us $1000 for repair cost which i denied and asked for a complete free replacement parts. We, toyota highlander hybrid owners need to unite and contact toyota and or smart attorneys to connect all the dots and sue toyota for the above problems. Our life and others is in danger due to toyota's defective parts.
