The vsc light, abs light, check engine light and sound is are on. The code is back as well c1391 for this brake actuator. It is a well known problem with Toyotas . This was fixed once already by Toyota dealer and failed after 40k miles again. How can a part has failed again in such a short time and miles? this is a common problem and we can't get help from Toyota company other than to pay for their lack of quality on parts? I can't afford $4000 plust to fix a part that only lasted 40,000 miles. When is Toyota going to do a recall on this part and fix it for good?.
The vsc light, abs light and now the check engine light is on. The code comes back to c1391 which is the brake actuator. It is a known problem with Toyota that occurs @118,000 miles. I was told it was going to cost $4,000, but they finally only made me pay for the labor and tax. However, it has now been 30,000 miles later and that part has failed again. I can't afford $2500-$4000 to fix a part that only lasts 30,000 miles. I have seen this complaint over and over. Can we get some help??.
When driving down highway and needing to suddenly brake, abs light and check vsc system lights came on, the car did brake in time. However, soon afterwards the brakes did not immediately engage when reversing out of parking space or anytime when pressing brakes while reversing.
Was driving in traffic when an alarm sounded and several dashboard lights lit up. Center display said "chech vsc system". I took it to the dealer who said the abs module needs to be replaced at a cost $2,800. Other than a vibration under the hood while slowing down the car appears to be operating normally. The abs warning light is on which leads me to believe the abs maybe disabled. I was able to run a vsc diagnostic and pulled code 45. Given the number of reported incidents for this failure it appears to be a wide spread problem.
