Description of the problem	The abs system failure warning light came on along with a brake malfunction warning. I had the abs accumulator replaced and the abs pump replaced, but now toyota is telling me that i need to have the abs actuator replaced as well. The abs system in the 2008 highlander hybrid is faulty and eventually leaks the hydraulic fluid rendering the abs system inoperable. This tends to happen over a long period of time and gets worse with age. Thus it typically occurs after all warranties are expired. The parts required to fix this problem cost over $5000 from toyota and only dealers have the expertise to attempt this fix. Toyota did make a voluntary recall "customer service update" for the 206 and 2007 highlander hybrids abs systems. However, the 2008 still has tremendous abs system problems, and the parts should last the lifetime of the car, but toyota has yet to issue a recall on the 2008 hh abs system. This is a well documented problem for the 2008 hh and the abs system needs to be recalled as this is a safety issue and most cannot afford to pay almost the value of the car just to have it be in a safe, driveable condition.
