2008 Toyota HIGHLANDER HYBRID Steering Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1561915
Internal NHTSA #	11205787
Manufacurer	Toyota Motor Corporation
Brand	TOYOTA
Model	HIGHLANDER HYBRID
Model Year	2008
File date	02/03/19
Component	STEERING
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Abs pump and actuator failure. Warning lights on the dash buzzer, and nearly complete loss of stopping power, reduced fuel economy. We own a 2008 toyota highlander hybrid which confirmed by the dealer has a 100% failure rate which is the exact failure previously recalled on 2006-07 highlander hybrids, and 08-09 camry hybrids. This failure throws the same code, same symptoms, same parts as recalled on previous years, and same years in other models however toyota some how got away with not recalling 2008 highlander models. This is well documented on this site, consumer affairs and tons of other sites on the internet. I would like to see the government step in and force toyota to extend there warranty and recall these models. Toyota, there dealers and the public are very much aware of how shady toyota has been not honoring different years with the same part. This repair is on average $3k dollars.
