Brake Light On problems of the 2007 Toyota Highlander

While driving I got error codes check vsc system, brakes light. I took it to the dealership and the car needed brake actuator assembly replaced, the cost is 2900$ . This should be a recall as the car became unsafe to drive and this is my second hybrid Toyota car with the same problem with huge cost of repair for a defective part installed by the company.

I had a wheel bearing replaced in my 2007 Toyota Highlander and as soon as it was fixed all the warning lights came on in the car, including the vsc light, abs light, brake light, and several others. It was not showing any codes when checked so they turned them off. Over a period of about a year the lights came on and off but with no affect to my braking system. I had brought the car into Toyota (tallahassee, FL) for a recall on the hybrid system they told me that it was reading a code for the recall and that was why the lights were on and once they fixed the recall they were off until the next day following picking the car up and they all came back on and now they are saying the abs control module which would cost $3000+ to fix. The brakes are not working properly at all and sometimes not at all. This is extremely unsafe and should be a recall! I have heard several other people with the same Toyota have experienced the same issue.

Hazardous safety issue. Possible manufacturer defect to electrical system on 2001-2007 Toyota Highlanders. While driving at high or low rate of speed, there has been many close calls of being hit from behind due to the manufacturer defect to their electrical components or wiring in specific to rear braking lights. When depressing the brake pedal the rear passenger brake lights do not come on. Light bulbs changed, fuse was checked and connectors checked. There has been multiple identical related issues reported by consumers on many blogs and forums online. Only remedy mentioned was to have the Toyota dealer to replace the electrical braking component or circuitry. This should be a recall for the Toyota Highlander 2001-2007 on the critical braking systems on these vehicles. Why do consumers have to pay upwards of $400 to replace what appears to be a manufacturer issue. This is a accident made to happen. Also due to their poor design, the vehicle can't pass the state's vehicle safety inspection.

I was driving on double r boulevard in reno at about 35 mph when suddenly loss brakes. I had to push very hard on the brake pedal and the brake pedal stumped and the brake light came on. The emergency brake was not in use and the brake will for a few seconds and then not work. This happened repeatedly. I manage to park the car at a nearby smith's. My husband took the car to the reno Toyota (dealer) , where they told us it was the master cylinder and that had to be replaced. The next day they told us the replacement didn't solved the problem and the booster had to be replaced, this problem sounds very familiar to the recall of Toyota on 2004-2006 models but Toyota won't assist us with the repairs. We are just thankful that were not on the freeway with our kids. This was a very scary situation when you realize there are no brakes to stop the car. I would like Toyota to be responsible for the repairs of the defective parts ($1,750).

The contact owns a 2007 Toyota Highlander. While driving approximately 20 mph, the brake light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where the technician stated he would need to bleed the brakes and change the oil. The brake light illuminated again after the repairs were made and the brake pedal extended to the floor. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the contact was waiting for a diagnostic test. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted, who stated they were unable to assist, and the contact would have to repair the vehicle at her expense. The approximate failure mileage was 73,000.
