| Description of the problem | I have a 2008 toyota highlander hybrid . Has 200k miles and the abs light came twice in one week while vehicle was in motion before applying the brakes. After resetting abs light, had pulled c1252, c1256, c1319 & c1391 for abs accumulator/actuator leak. Very unsafe to drive due to my vehicle is braking only on base brakes and my abs and vsc system has been deactivated due to fault present. Not sure why its not covered on extended warranty like other 2006 and 07 models. Over 200 complaints with the same issue. Repairs around $4,500 and up. Recall urgently needed! |
