Description of the problem	While driving slowly in a school zone i attempted to stop for the crossing guard and children. The brake peddle began pulsating but i was able to stop using the emergency brake. The brake dashboard warning lights came on and showed abs and vsc failure. The vehicle was taken to the nearest toyota dealership who advised they would have to special order a part and charged me $1,800. 00 for the part. They received the part 1 week later and called to advise that it was the wrong part and that the correct part was $1,000. 00 more because they needed the whole assembly. I complained to the service manager and the toyota motor corp. And they were unwilling to help me. My vehicle was removed from the dealership and taken to a certified independent repair shop. The owner, (a retired certified toyota master technician) advised he could order the oem assembly, install it, and provide the same warranty as the dealership for $ 2,100. 00. He further stated that while working for toyota he had replaced hundreds of assemblies on 2007-2011 toyota camry hybrid models as part of "toyotas limited repair assistance campaign". He further advised the assembly was the same for both the camry hybrid & highlander hybrid models. Additionally he could supply acceptable paperwork if toyota conducts a limited repair assistance campaign for the 2008 highlander hybrid
