| Description of the problem | The brake actuator for the abs system failed and needed to be replaced. This was and is a known potential problem by the toyota company as a result of many toyota owners replacing their vehicle actuators due to failure but no recalls have been activated and available for my vehicle as of this current date. I fortunately did not get into an accident as a result but stop use of the vehicle and had it repaired immediately by a toyota dealership at my own expense. This was a very costly expense i incurred both in the actuator part and the labor to replace it. The actuator affected the brake system of my vehicle and is a major safety issue. |
