Description of the problem	Two months ago, my car system noted abs system problem: abs light, brake light, and other lights on. I took my car to toyota place in garden grove, ca dealer, they told me abs system failed, it would be replaced as possible, the cost is from $2500 to 3500. They also said the car i can drive but the abs didn't work. The problem is the cost is too high and i can't afford for it. On last monday 04/16/2018, around 7:30am on the way driving to the work place, i stepped on brake pedal, the brake system did nothing, my car ran out of control. Luckily, i was first in the line, then i drove the car with no step on gas pedal, hit emergency lights on, and used the leg brake to stop the car. After that, my car was towed to the toyota dealer, they said abs actuator stopped working and had to be replaced. They charged me $2,642. 32; the part cost is $1,834. 94, brake fluid is $7. 04, the labor is $650 (from the arriving time 9:36am to the calling time to note my car to be done around 3:40pm) and sales tax is $143. 30. You should know my car is permanently changed oil and maintenance at the same dealer from 2011, the year i bought the car as a pre-owner car. In this period time, my car is always inspected by the dealer with nothing big problem and specifically with no warning about abs system. In addition, in owner's manual and scheduled maintenance guide the manufactory keeps silent recommendation about abs system replacement. Today, i am filing a complain about the abs system problem of toyota highlander 2006 because it is very, very dangerous for its customers when driving on it. I also read more the same problem from its customers on online. They may or may not open a file, but it is vital of the consumer and also the budget of each family. I hope you have to help to save the life of people on the road and save their money also. Thank you very much for your time.
