I purchased the vehicle used in august 2018. In january, warning lights indicated a 'vsc system' problem. The event occurred while I was driving. I researched car repair websites and forums, and discovered that this is often a simple problem with a sensor for the fuel door, or a linkage in the accelerator assembly. I followed instructions, and the light turned off. Over the past six weeks, the lights have returned, usually in association with refueling the vehicle. I took the vehicle to a dealer today, and was informed that an ABS actuator was failing. The part is $1700 from toyota, with labor totaling $600. Further research revealed the problem was widespread, but the only remedy was a 'warranty enhancement' that has already expired. I cannot afford this repair, and I was not informed of this issue at purchase. Because this issue was critical for vehicle safety, I felt the need to alert the federal safety agency to a continuing problem.

While driving on a residential road the brake system failed to properly stop the car. This issue first happened in january 2017. At that time I took the car in and had the brake actuator assembly replaced under a limited service recall by toyota and the replacement actuator assembly also failed within 18 months. While driving through a residential area the brakes again failed to stop the car, making a grinding noise and jerking to a halt after pressure applied to the brake pedal. Because the actuator assembly was replaced under the limited service recall toyota denies any culpability in the failure of the replacement part and refuses to offer further assistance.

First a loud ringing happened and car would not stop. We have serviced car regularly, brakes are new, but car does not stop. Trying to brake at the intersection, stop light and highlander would not stop. Put us in danger almost LED me into accident, was told it was the ABS system and that toyota is aware of this. This is a huge safety design issue and expensive fix toyota needs to fix their design flaws. There is not physical contact or wear and tear on the part for it to fail. Ms. Deborah huston at toyota stone walls the process to get this resolved. She claims toyota is not aware of these issues, but the federal safety agency records show customers have been complaining for a long time and that they know.
