Brakes Failed problems of the 2007 Toyota Highlander Hybrid

The vsdc warning came on with code c1391, which means the abs pump accumulator assembly has gone bad, which costs thousands of dollars to fix. When I contacted Toyota, they said they extended the warranty on this and that extension ran out a couple of years ago. However, this makes no sense to extend a warranty on a part you have admitted is bad and a safety hazard, as the brakes will fail after this faulty part remains in the dysfunctional state. It appears to me that Toyota, was trying to appease as few as people as possible by extending a warranty on something as dangerous as this. They refuse to fix the problem, even though it will cause death to many. The mechanic said this has happened to many Toyota highlanders, per his information too.

When braking at any speed, the brake pedal vibrates and makes a "chirping" sound. After researching I've discovered it's a brake actuator issue. Toyota did extend the warranty briefly, but no recall was issued. My Toyota certified mechanic said brake failure could definitely occur when the actuator fails completely. When braking over bumps, the brakes seem to give out briefly as well which is quite startling. The replacement part is $1800 plus labor, which is ridiculous considering this is definitely a safety issue.

I have owned a 2007 Toyota Highlander Hybrid for several years. I bought the car used and was never notified of a safety recall warranty extension for the antilock braking system (abs module). The known defective part failed 6 months after the extension expired and was never notified of the recall. Local dealer now states the repair will cost $2500 which is about what the car is actually worth. This is my highschool daughter's car and the liability of the abs module & brakes failing could be significant. The car is otherwise drivable and the brakes work although the abs module continues to light up the vsc warning light on the led monitor in the dash. My hope is to find some goodwill through Toyota or possibly the part manufacturer, however have been unable to do so to this point.

At slow speed, entering my driveway, brakes failed, resulting in slight acceleration, causing an accident with our other vehicle in driveway.

First event-pulling into a parking space-applied the brake-car accelerated and went over the bumper guard. Ongoing issue-when applying the brake and hitting a bump in the road at the same time, the car lunges forward and the brake appears to fail. Reported to dealer-said it was possibly the abs brake system. Have had the brakes checked numerous times with no trouble found.
