Brake Light On problems of the 2009 Toyota Venza

Intermittant problem common to many thousands or more of Toyota vehicles. >this problem is of most urgency because we do not know if we can safely drive the car. Brakes>#1 safety concern. >the exact problem is that 3 "instrument panel indicator symbols" light, all 3 at the same time. >the indicator symbols are 1. ) the "brake" (emergency brake light), 2. ) the "abs" (anti-lock brake system warning light) and 3. ) the "slip indicator" (icon light). >we have found no action of turning on the car, changing gears, braking, temperature, emergency brake disengaged or engaged, lights, hill braking. . . In other words. . . Nothing that shows any cause and effect of these 3 lights coming on together. >the 3 lights come on intermittantly, timing is random. Most of the time they are all on. >the car "seems" to drive as normal but we do not know if the abs or anti skid are working or disabled. >this problem started a short time after the Toyota dealership 355 Toyota on rockville pike in rockville maryland overfilled the master cylinder brake fluid well above the "max" line all the way up to the cap so that you could not see any air. >mechanics at rockville tire and auto removed the excess brake fluid to the correct max line using a polyethylene (non melting) syringe that I supplied. The syringe was clean and never used. >the lights always come on together. >the brake light still stays on when the emergency brake is mechanically released. (and all 3 lights are on or lit to be exact) >when rockville tire and auto checked the pcm? for codes there were no codes even remotely related to brakes or warning lights, nothing. He gave me a printout of the contents of the pcm codes which was absolutely absent of error codes. He also checked the electrical system for anything related to electrical problems and found it to be perfect. >stationary, in motion, turning or straight ahead.

While driving in city abs vsc brake warning lights came on with message to immediately take to dealer. Turned out to be speed sensor on right rear wheel. I have removed sensor and while there is no physical damage it appears to be an open circuit. Clearly a defect in product since the car is garaged and I live in a high desert environment. Effectively the abs and vsc systems are disabled.

I was driving approximately 40 mph and had to slam on the brakes because the person in front of me made an illegal u-turn. After this occurrence the following dash lights lit up (hand brake light, abs light, warning light) I took my car in to the dealer and they have diagnosed it to be an abs sensor on my front left tire. In the meantime I have read many blogs about this type of problem with this vehicle. The blogs mostly state that the Toyota dealers do not know what is the remedy for this brake issue. Before I spend a lot of money to address this issue I would like some information first, if in fact a recall is going to happen in the near future for this issue. Thank you.
