Brakes Failed problems of the 2006 Toyota Highlander

Brakes are failing and when I brake at a stop light, the brakes seem like they are not activating and are dangerous because I cannot stop in time. Toyota must replace this otherwise it is a huge safety issue if brakes fail.

Tl-the contact owns a 2006 Toyota Highlander. The contact stated while attempting to depress the brake pedal when the vehile is in reverse the brakes fail to operate. The brake system warning lights remains illuminated. The contact stated she had to place the vehicle in park gear in order to stop the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer (rice Toyota 2630 battleground Ave, greensboro, nc 27408) for a diagnostic exam. The diagnosis was to replace the brake assentura.

The contact owns a 2006 Toyota Highlander. While driving various speeds, the brakes failed to work and the brake warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer (Toyota of nashua; 10 marmon dr, nashua, nh 03060; (603) 689-1500) where it was diagnosed that the brake fluid needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was contacted at 800-331-4331 and stated that they were not responsible for the failure. The manufacturer provided case number: 1706060186.

When applying the brakes there is a noise that comes from the brakes and it feels like the brakes are failing so I went to the Toyota dealership to find out the problem and they said that the brake actuator was bad and had to be replaced. The cost of the replacement was quoted at $3200. 00. I searched the web and found that this has occurred not just once but many times on numerous Toyota vehicles over many years. I also determined that even if I were to pay to repair this condition that it would reoccur do to the defect in the design of this part of the braking system. Why hasn't this been addressed and a recall issued?.

Have had brake actuator malfunction/failure for a very long time. Started with noises and has progressed to warning lights and almost complete brake failure. Have contacted Lexus bc it a rx400h and not a Highlander bit they respectfully decline to get involved. Had called over a year ago. Had catastrophic brake failure that almost caused an accident with other motorist and am now paying 3000 to have the brake actuator replaced that they have been told about for years and refused to fix and consistently remind me I don't service my vehicle at a dealership for normal maintenance. The previous owner never recieved notice or a warranty campaign and ultimately rid themselves of it because of the issue and price of the brake actuator to be fixed.

The contact owns a 2006 Toyota Highlander hybrid. While engaging the brake pedal at speeds of less than 10 mph downhill or on a ramp, the vehicle responded as if the brakes had failed and lunged forward. Within minutes, the brakes began functioning normally. The dealer was contacted; however, they were unable to duplicate the failure. There were no recalls and no repairs were made to the vehicle. The failure mileage was 29,118 and the current mileage was under 30,000.

2006 Toyota Highlander hybrid had problems with brakes and steering going out at the same time*** the vehicle was involved in an accident. When the consumer slammed on the brakes there was no pulsating sensation, as expected when the abs activates. The consumer believes the brakes and steering failed at the same time. The vehicle coasted about 150 feet until it impacted another vehicle.
