While turning left at 5mph the ABS and brake light suddenly went on and a high pitched sound came from the dash. The brakes failed completely with the pedal going to the floor and I rear ended the car in front of me. Had it towed to a toyota dealer repair shop. Told that the ABS activator master cylinder failed.
