Description of the problem	For approximately 2-3 days (june 23-25) was experiencing honk when pushing brake pedal, almost constant tick of the abs actuator and stuttering at stops in 2006 toyota highlander (54,540 miles). Took to own mechanic with diagnostic of faulty abs actuator. Hoping part was covered under warranty made appointment with toyota dealer for service. Before made it to appointment was driving forward when all dash lights and alarms for abs & traction control went off. Upon pushing the brake pedal it was very soft requiring multiple pumps before vehicle slowed. Called for tow to dealership. They confirmed abs actuator needed replaced and vehicle unsafe to drive. Part replaced at owner's expense. My research has revealed other toyota vehicles, land cruiser, of similar year have same problem.
