Brake Light On problems of the 2008 Toyota Tundra

I started my truck and noticed that the abs brake light was on and the vehicle stability control (vsc) light and the 4-hi and 4-lo lights were flashing as well. The parking lot I was in was mostly empty and slick, so I tried a hard breaking and sure enough the abs system fails to operate. I tried to accelerate and the vsc failed to work as well. I tried to shift into 4 wheel drive and that failed as well. I went online and found a number of forums where others talked about having the exact same failure. Some stated that the wiring harness failed, others that it was a bad connection. I feel that a failure like this without warning can put drivers at risk. We have come to rely on these technology advances making our vehicles safer to drive, and if they fail without warning, in the middle of a hard braking situation, this could lead to disastrous situation and possible loss of life.

The contact owns a 2008 Toyota Tundra. The contact stated that the antilock brake light illuminated and the speedometer did not register current vehicle speed. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who performed a diagnostic which located the failure at the abs actuator. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The VIN was not available. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and current mileage was 43,331.

2008 Toyota Tundra double cab 5. 7 4x4. Vsc/4hi/4lo/abs/brake lights all start flashing. Have brought to dealer 3 times. Have 88500 miles on truck. Warrenty runs out at 100,000. Dealer states they can not reproduce problem. Showed them online articles of same vehicle with same issues and how it was resolved. They refuse becuase there is no code.

This is a 2008 Tundra v8, 4. 7l. I purchased the vehicle in may of 2009 brand new. It currently has 17,000 miles. Approximately sept 11, 2010 the dash light warning for brakes started blinking. I stopped turned off engine and restarted. Brake light came on steady. I pushed in the emergency brake and then released. Still brake light on. I drove for couple of hours with light on. Brakes did seem to work correctly. I had an oil and service maintenance completed in July 2010, and nothing was noted. On sept 20, 2010 the brake light was still solid red, so I took the vehicle to the dealership where I bought it from about 18 months ago. Service rep first checked brake fluid and it was near empty. A few more days and probably no brakes at all according to service rep. I get a call later in day and told "master cylinder and brake booster need replacing, under warranty".
