| Description of the problem | The abs brake sensor connector on the rear wheels hubs is not sealed and allows water and road salts to corrode the electrical connection, which causes the abs system to be deactivated. The vehicle still has brakes but no abs brakes. When i took the car into toyota for diagnostics they said that it has been a problem and that there was no permanant fix as of yet. They also said that it would be $600. 00 per wheel to fix the problem and that it could happen again the next winter. It seems to me that if toyota knows about the problem they should be required to fix it. |
