Brake Light On problems of the 2006 Toyota Highlander Hybrid

I am getting a "check vsc system" on the dashboard along with a red triangle, orange abs light, orange traction control light, red brake light and orange exclamation mark inside a circle. I have been hearing weird popping noises when braking also.

Mechanic put new brakes on all four wheels. When done the : maintenance vsc message; traction control; abs; and brake lights came on. Three other mechanics looked at it and concluded that the accumulator was not working property. I was able to confirm this diagnostic through many exact same complaints on your site. . Also, all the brake components were severely rusted causing an added time to do the parts out. To date there has not been an accident; but the problem in new york is car won't pass yearly inspection because of other filed complaints the next stop is the dealership apparently if I can get there safely. (I'm another person on social security without large amounts of cash ~$2000 - $5000 to spend on a car that is now depreciated to ~ $4500. ) this safety issue needs to be a recall.

2006 Highlander Hybrid, check hybrid system, check vsc light, brake and abs light all on permanently and my brakes aren't working. I was fortunate noone got hurt. . It was really dangerous when you press the brake and it doesn't stop. . . . From what I read abs accumulator which cost 3k+ to replace and the hybrid inverter which cost 5k+ to replace. Nhtsa please issue a recall on this issues.

Abs system failed at 137,000 miles , mechanics stated this should never happen,I was driving when abs brake light came on and continues to stay on, and on 09/17 my abs and brake light is on,and when I push brake petal down , my car does not stop. Unable to get car to come to a stop. I recently change my brake pads in August and everything was working perfectly untill septamber 20th 2017.

Abs system failed at 180,000 miles , mechanics stated this should never happen,I was driving when abs brake light came on and continues to stay on, and on 6/10/17 my abc light is on,and unable to push brake petal down , unable to get car to come to a stop.

My abs pump/actuator started making a weird sound and runs a lot. I was told that it needs to be replaced and was quoted $3200. I have a check vsc message, brake light, and abs light on now as well.

Upon starting my car, the check vsc system, brake and abs lights came on. I turned of the the engine and the warnings went away. About three weeks later, as I was driving down the freeway at 70mph, the warning lights suddenly appeared. Took the car to the dealership and was told I need a new battery. Next days, as I was driving down the freeway, again out the warning lights suddenly appeared. Too it back to the dealer and three days later they tell me I needed to fix the brake actuator and the cost would be over 4k. Out of nowhere, the brakes just fail. We can't afford to have the car fixed.

Check vsc system, brake and abs lights come on, also audible alarm. Abs braking does not work.

On 12/02/13 the brake light and vcs system light came on. The warning light also went on and a beep noise inside the cabin, brakes does not function (breaks not responding). I took the car to an authorized Toyota dealership. According to the dealer codes (c1241 low or high power supply voltage, c1256 accumulator low pressure, and c1391 abnormal leak in accumulator) must be replaced the actuator assy, b part no. 4405048190. Actuator was replaced on 12/28/13 at $1,495 with tax for $ 1,600 and labor cost of $333. 84. Ust be replaced. On 05/25/15 again the brake light and vcs system light came on. The warning light also went on and a beep noise inside the cabin, brakes does not function (no break). I took the car to an authorized Toyota dealership for a diagnostic and I pay $64. 20. Again they mentioned that for a second time the actuator assy, b part no. 4405048190 needs a replacement. I ask for the guarantee and only was valid for 1 year. Diagnostic trouble codes report (abs/vsc/trac), codes (c1252 break booster pump motor on time abnormally long, c1256, accumulator low pressure, c1391, abnormal leak in accumulator). I think that there is an electronic problem with the 2006 Highlander Hybrid and they do not know what the cause since is in a 6 years period the actuator assy was replaced and less than 1. 5 year again the same part (actuator assy) needs replacement, current price is $2,000. I cannot use the car the brakes are not responding and I can have an accident.

Took 2006 Toyota hybrid highlander in for a popping sound and vsc light , abs brake lights on. The Toyota dealer told me it needed a new abs accumulator for $ 28881. 71 . I was told this was dangerous that brakes could fail !!! upon looking I find this to be a problem with others . . . Time for a recall !!!!!!!!!!.

While driving the vehicle at approx. 60 miles per hour the brake light and vcs system light came on. The warning light also went on. In accordance with the owner's manual, I took the car to an authorized Toyota dealership. According to the automobile status report, the abs-hydraulic control assembly: with ecu must be replaced. According to complaints I researched on-line, several complaints have been documented relating to this make, model and abs system. I filed an incident with Toyota (reference number: 1308221198). The intake representative who checked with the dealership said this wasn't a recall item and no support was available to extend the warranty on the part. She confirmed that the service department stated that there was no defect in the workmanship. I asked dana (the person I spoke to) if I could take the vehicle for a second opinion relating to the abs part. I also asked for verification that the service department actually checked the part for a defect or is qualified to determine if in fact it is a manufacturers' defect. The dealership quoted that the abs part; brake flush/fluid exchange/bf; engine air filter replacement;a/c service-acs; coolant flush (premium)-cf; and fuel injection service would cost $2,250. I also asked the Toyota customer service representative what the battery expectancy on the car is and whether the manufacturer offers any support in terms of the costs. I was told by the dealership that the battery can cost $5,000. 00 to replace but the manufacturer may offer some support. I would appreciate your assistance, research and filling of this complaint.

Have been experiencing braking problems . . . Driving in traffic or coming to a complete stop fairly quickly (I. E. Stop sign), the brake engages . . . Lets go for a second. . . Catches, car stops. This didn't happen all the time, but it began happening quite frequently . . . Took it to Toyota. They changed the brake pads and rotors on the front . . . Since there was a technical bulletin on the newer model, but not mine. Riving on a service road . . . 55-60 mph . . . The car starts slowing down by itself . . . Constantly. . Kept speeding up and it kept slowing down, as if brakes were being applied. . . No brake lights though. Today I was driving the car . . . Going down a gradual slope . . . On a turn . . . Braked . . . The car sped up . . Went from 30 mph to about 35 mph, while braking . . . Car skided off the road, skid light came on, beeping non stop . . . Hit a pole. . . Shattered my mirror and scratched the side . . . Car wouldn't stop . . . Threw it into park and finally skidded to a stop. Driving on Thursday, about to come to a stop and . . . . It does this short stop thing recently. . Where it brakes rather forcefully and abruptly when it is cold. . . So after that happens . . . The car completely shuts off. . . And comes to a full stop. No lights. No engine. Brake pedal goes all the way to the floor. Car is still in drive, key still in ignition . . . Push it into park, take out key. . . Restart. . . . Driving again. The glove compartment light doesn't turn on anymore now. This has happened 3 times since last Thursday now. There are alot more incidences and different failures.
