My brakes failed abs anita breaking system failed because if that sb's failed my hybrid battery is not charging and my car is failed to stop.
I purchased a used 2007 Toyota Highlander hybrid less than 2 years ago and because I was not the original owner, I did not receive and recall notices or extended warranty coverage notices. Now my brakes are failing and it has to do with the brake actuator assembly that Toyota offered to repair free under their "enhancement" program. I was unaware of this because I am not the original owner and now the enhancement program has expired. Average cost of this repair is $2,500-$3,000 and I do not have that type of money and yet I need my car daily to work. At some point the brakes, as currently indicated on the dashboard and from the sound they are making, are going to fail, resulting in an accident. Their enhancement program was good for 10 years or 150,000 miles, whichever came first so I am past the 10 year period. Why do they put limits on life and death safety issues with their cars ? I need the NHTSA's help. Thank you.
The brake actuators make weird sound only when you hit the brakes. The car may be in a turned on or off position. All you have to do is press the brakes and there is a weird sucking and chirping sound coming from the brake actuator assembly. Talked to dealer and they did a brake fluid flush but that did not help. Toyota reimbursed the service charges but I think they did that to shut me up. The brake actuators can fail anytime and I am worried that Toyota has known this problem for a while now and is not fixing them. This is a serious issue and the faulty brake actuator assembly needs to be replaced by Toyota.
