Description of the problem	In 2015 i was told by the toyota dealer that my abs pump and accumulator needed to be replaced. That was done and i immediately starting having problems with the brakes. Two things: (1) per the service rep, this replacement needed to be done due to a pumping sound being emitted from the abs pump after the suv was turned off. The exact same noise started up within a few days of the replacement. I took it back to the dealer and pointed the noise out and was told that that noise was "normal" (sic) (2) immediately after the new abs system was installed, a serious defect in the brakes appeared: as i pulled to a stop the car would speed up or suddenly move forward as if i had stopped braking. I would have to readjust my braking instantly to keep from having an accident. This has been scary for years. For years because each time i had the car serviced and brought this up to toyota and test drives were performed, i was always told that they didn't experience it or didn't see it or some such. Twice they did other brake work which did nothing to solve the problem. Lastly, i was recently driving on highway us 19 and all the abs and brake warnings came on and a loud screech started and continued -- absolutely ear splitting. I put my foot on the brakes and the pedal went way down and with effort i was able to get the cfar to slow down. The power assist had disappeared along with the abs. The message in the readout states something like "vcs problem" or error -- i don't remember sitting here writing this, but it is a vcs problem. I called toyota and was told that 6 months after my abs system was overhauled, a service bulletin was issued stating that the older (mine) abs pumps have cracks or a crack in them. I believe any auto with an abs system with a crack in the pump body should be recalled and those abs systems replaced at the cost of the toyota.
