Description of the problem	On jan. 3, 2018 while moving at a minimum speed (less than 15 mph) i applied the brakes and several warning lights illuminated (brakes, abs, traction control) along with a warning sound. This was on a city street, driving in a straight line. I was able to brake to a stop. I then attempted to continue to drive at a very low speed but soon lost all ability to brake the vehicle and i coasted to a stop. I had the vehicle towed to a local toyota dealer. I was told the brake actuator had failed and was charged $3288 plus tax for the repair. I received the car on jan. 9, 2018 from the dealer. On jan. 12, 2018 the car failed once again in the exact same manner. The dealer kept the car until feb. 1, 2018 at which time they returned the car to me at no charge, stating they had changed the same exact part as before. The car has 84,000 miles and i purchased it new. I understand toyota has issued recalls for this issue on other models but not on my vehicle. I have retained my repair invoices but am unable to upload them at this time.
