| Description of the problem | Did an oil change to the car on 9/14/18. Driving to key largo saturday 9/15/18 morning and while driving (almost there) when the abs, anti skid, system failure lights came on. Took it to the toyota and the service manager had it scanned for the codes. Came back as brake actuator failure and they told me the car was not safe to drive because the brakes failed. Same exact thing that happened to my 2012 prius which i had to pay to get fixed. This time i was told by the assistant service manager that toyota seems to be aware there's an issue so they would probably cover the cost of the part $3500 but i'm responsible for the labor which they quoted at $1500!!! Something is clearly wrong. I don't think i should have been responsible for the money paid to get the 2012 fixed nor should i have to pay for the 2014 now. My car is at the toyota until i can come up with the money... Sounds like a class action lawsuit !! Also, interestingly enough, both my 2012 and 2014 were roughly at the same mileage when this part failed. |
