There was no incident. When the brake malfunction screen displayed, I drove the vehicle to the nearest Toyota dealer in pueblo, colorado. I received the attached service message and picking ticket; 17june2025. It also needs new brake pads, rotor adjustment, and 5 new tires. Total~$6000. Way too pricy! I paid for the diagnostic test, and drove home carefully! the vehicle has been sitting in my carport since, and I am walking the city limits for all purposes. The 12v battery died mid-July, without replacement since. I live in la junta, 70 miles east of the dealer. So we're looking at 99,000 total miles as it sits.
