Description of the problem	I started the car one morning to find all of my brake warnings suddenly on. The vehicle showed no signs of any issues prior to this, and upon getting the vehicle to the mechanic, it was diagnosed as an abnormal leak in the accumulator. No incident or signs of issues led up to the sudden malfunction--it was in great operating shape leading up to the incident, and even upon parking and disengaging the car the evening before. There have been other accounts of this happening with highlander hybrid owners, even in the middle of driving somewhere. I just happened to be lucky enough to encounter the problem upon turning on the car.
