Brake Fluid Leak Problems of Toyota Camry Hybrid

I just got this car not long ago, just because of Toyota's good reputation. Now I am regretting it thinking I should have bought a Honda or a Nissan. I've been driving this vehicle for a few days and I noticed that it's leaking brake fluid due to a faulty abs actuator brake pump 2007 Toyota camry hybrid 44510-30270. The brake pedal feels spongy, also a hizzing sound comes from the actuator and it does it for about 15 seconds then stops; after that I notice a few drops of brake fluid coming from the actuator, and last but not least car gets a brake light when in motion, probably due to all the leakage the actuator it's producing. I am afraid if I keep driving it with this problem it might leave me stranded somewhere or worst yet have a crash. I hope Toyota recall this vehicle due to this problem. Toyota you better fix your good reputation, or else american cars will take a chunk of your profits.

While cruising about 35 mph the following panel lights came brakes, abs, error message- vsc (vehicle stability control). A whirring sound emanated from the engine compartment which intensified when I depressed brake pedal. The brakes weakly responded to pedal pressure. I was able to drive slowly to a parking lot where I had it towed to the dealership. I note that the brake reservoir was full and detected no leaking fluids. I had no warning of this failure. The car has been serviced regularly by the dealership.

The check vsc system display came on with all the brake lights. Basically the dash board lights up and with every warning light. A message on your display says "check vsc system". When you look it up in your manual it says - call Toyota dealer right away. I was quoted an abs accumulator replacement at the cost of $3k. The car was under 6 year 75,000 extended warranty so every service and check was performed. When I reported flaky brake behavior (pulsing at a standstill and with the pulsating noises - it's like you are braking when you are idling) @ 78k Toyota said nothing was wrong with my brakes. If a diagnostic code isn't appearing they can't really tell you have an issue. The car was just out of extended warranty. First thing I did was call the dealer service department. I was told it might just be the sensors and I could still drive it. I didn't listen to them and I'm glad - something just seemed very wrong with that advice - after all the brakes just seemed to be pulsing all the time and the car didn't brake the same way. Pressing on the brake was very difficult - the brakes were basically operating manually with no power assist. There was no way I could ever stop quickly with brakes in this condition. I was also leaking brake fluid. We spoke to Toyota in California and reported the problem. Toyota said they wouldn't cover the part. The dealer said others had come in with the same problem so they knew it existed. We had a long discussion with the dealer manager. The real problem is at that time - the replacement part was the same part we had - so we had no choice but to take the same part with the same known problem.
