| Description of the problem | I had a wheel bearing replaced in my 2007 toyota highlander and as soon as it was fixed all the warning lights came on in the car, including the vsc light, abs light, brake light, and several others. It was not showing any codes when checked so they turned them off. Over a period of about a year the lights came on and off but with no affect to my braking system. I had brought the car into toyota (tallahassee, fl) for a recall on the hybrid system they told me that it was reading a code for the recall and that was why the lights were on and once they fixed the recall they were off until the next day following picking the car up and they all came back on and now they are saying the abs control module which would cost $3000+ to fix. The brakes are not working properly at all and sometimes not at all. This is extremely unsafe and should be a recall! I have heard several other people with the same toyota have experienced the same issue. |
