Brake Abs Warning Light problems of the 2009 Toyota Highlander Hybrid

Brakes failed shortly after the abs warning light went off. Dealer diagnosed this as a break actuator assembly failure. It looks like Toyota had a warranty enhancement program for vehicle years 2006-2007. However, my 2009 appears to be having exactly the same issue, yet it's not covered by the program. Given the severity of the part failure, it's not clear why this is not a recall. . . We were lucky that no accident resulted from this failure.

I was driving 5 mph and my brakes completely went out. Luckily, since it was on halloween night with kids everywhere no one was hurt. Abs warning lights came on and warning lights said to pull over and take to mechanic. I had no brakes and coasted home going 2mph. It was my abs actuator pump.

Abs light on with warning, brakes performing poorly. The abs actuator assembly and break pump failed requiring replacement with a cost of over $3764 in repairs. The Toyota camry hybrid had millions of recalls for the abs actuator but the Highlander Hybrid was currently not on recall. I own a 2000 Toyota 4 runner with over 200,000 miles and never had an abs issue. This car is only 6 years old and shouldn't require this problem so early.

Brake and abs warning lights came on while travel city speed (35-40mph). No noticeable braking problem but advised car is unsafe to drive. Dealer says there is an internal leak and the brake actuator and booster need to be replaced at a cost of $5,100 (mainly the cost of Toyota parts). This is a soccer mom car no rough driving or braking. . . And no accidents. I called Toyota customer experience and they say the parts are out of warranty. How does these two parts account for over 10% of the original value of the car 6 years ago. Shouldn't I expect more from Toyota?.

The contact owns a 2009 Toyota Highlander Hybrid. The contact stated that while driving 40 mph, the abs warning light illuminated. The contact stated that when the light was illuminated, the stopping distance would increase. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection but they could not determine the cause of failure. The failure mileage was 4,300 updated 01/07/2014 also, the air bag light illuminated. The dealer replaced a sensor.
