Under the subject line warranty enhancement program ?zg1, for all 2006-2007 model year highlander hybrid, and others type included. Also, down the last three paragraph (see attached letter) indicates under owner letter mailing date, said ?toyota will begin to notify owners in late april, 2016 and will be mailed over several months. A sample of the owner notification letter has been included for your reference.? After I found the published notice, I went to the carlson toyota dealer on 06/18/2019. I described the situation and I showed the recipes of where I get from during inspection, and finally they told me this warranty enhancement program is expired. I ask them how is expired, nobody told me about this recall or warranty enhancement program. I need help to resolve this situation. See attached documents.

I replaced my brakes after several warning lights and codes kept popping up on my dash. Had the rotors turned. But when I returned to driving my car after I thought it was fixed the brakes would all of a sudden just go out the hydraulic part would go completely to the floor. The car would make a high pitched noise and then no brakes. Took it to toyota in clinton tn. Said my ABS brake actuator was failing. Would cost me 2200 dollars to fix. This certain part on your car is supposed to last you a lifetime. I dont have money like that now it was take me a lifetime to save up for the repairs. Very scary. This would happen to me randomly as I was driving no matter where or how far the trip I was taking. Didn't know if I was going to be able to make it home sometimes. You just never knew when. Sometimes it would be fine and others it would be absolutely scary.

I have had to replace the brake actuator on my 2006 toyota highlander hybrid 3 times since 2014. Replacing this part is a $2500 - $3000 repair. The first time, we paid out of pocket. The second time, I was told I would have to pay out of pocket and I declined. Parked the vehicle for about a year and then received notice from toyota that the part was being offered an extended warranty under letter zg1. At that point, I had the part replaced under the extended warranty. Now the part has failed again. This is a very serious issue as it controls the ABS braking system and failure can have devastating consequences. I think toyota recognized the issue, made adjustments, but did not make proper adjustments and still has issues with this part. Particularly - this issue may be related to the fact that the hybrid vehicles rely on the braking system to regenerate the battery.

All warning lights are on to check brakes, ABS. Abnormal leak in acumulator - ABS brake actuator needs to be replaced. I was sent a recall on this problem with my 2012 prius (although it is fine) but the highlander has the exact problem. When googling this I found many 2008 highlanders with the exact same problem. Toyota wants $3600 to replace the ABS acumulator yet they will replace the same part in the prius as a recall.
