| Description of the problem | All warning lights are on to check brakes, abs. Abnormal leak in acumulator - abs brake actuator needs to be replaced. I was sent a recall on this problem with my 2012 prius (although it is fine) but the highlander has the exact problem. When googling this i found many 2008 highlanders with the exact same problem. Toyota wants $3600 to replace the abs acumulator yet they will replace the same part in the prius as a recall. |
