Description of the problem	I purchased a used 2007 toyota highlander hybrid less than 2 years ago and because i was not the original owner, i did not receive and recall notices or extended warranty coverage notices. Now my brakes are failing and it has to do with the brake actuator assembly that toyota offered to repair free under their "enhancement" program. I was unaware of this because i am not the original owner and now the enhancement program has expired. Average cost of this repair is $2,500-$3,000 and i do not have that type of money and yet i need my car daily to work. At some point the brakes, as currently indicated on the dashboard and from the sound they are making, are going to fail, resulting in an accident. Their enhancement program was good for 10 years or 150,000 miles, whichever came first so i am past the 10 year period. Why do they put limits on life and death safety issues with their cars ? I need the nhtsa's help. Thank you.
