| Description of the problem | This is the second failure warning about the brake system (abs warning) since we purchased the vehicle new. Repairs cost us in excess of $5000. 00 the first time the system failed. I placed a phone call to toyota's national customer support and was told they have no records of any repairs to the braking system on our vehicle matching this warning message. We have all the repair and service records since the car was purchased new from toyota, including the mentioned brake system failure repairs. The toyota representative was no help, and said we need to get the car diagnosed by a toyota dealer. |
