| Description of the problem | Periodically my abs brake light will come on during winter weather and then it will just go away when it is dry. On snow roads my brakes sometimes will not work. One day driving i drove through a red light because my brakes would not stop even though i was going around 30 and braked while in advance. Lucky, for me other drivers stopped. My mechanic confirmed that my abs wiring has to be replaced and the hub. This is a common issue for yaris and toyota admitted they know this is an issue but they do not have a recall. This could have easily cost my life or my 18 month old son's life. |
