Having an issue with my rear right wheel speed sensor - so therefor if I don't cough up the $1200 that toyota is asking, I won't have the safety features of ABS or traction control on my car. I was driving on the highway when the ABS, brake and traction control warning lights came on... They've been on for a week.. Car is sitting at toyota now while I decide what to do

What 2006 Toyota RAV4 owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Twice in the last 24 hours there has been sudden acceleration when braking for a stop.
When brakes are applied engine attempts to maintain speed, making it difficult to stop. After car has stopped, stepping on the gas pedal again may only allow car to move forward very slowly. This started happening within the last month and has occurred four times so far. It happens with the car in motion and either turning or going straight. So far all incidents were while driving on city streets. All safety recalls are up to date. Dealer says applying brake pressure disengages the accelerator, but this is not happening. The gas pedal moves freely and there is no interference from the floor mat. The car is at the dealer now.

Driving down road at 20-25 MPH. Suddenly the right front wheel locked up (brake pedal was *not* being pressed) and began the ABS shudder as if vehicle was braking on ice. Vehicle pulled hard to the right; this occurred several times over the next few minutes. After car warmed up it didn't happen again, but recurred the next morning after starting out. Searched internet and found other toyota drivers had experienced the same problem and 'resolved' it by removing fuses for ABS braking system, rendering it inoperative. Car brakes normally now with no issues, but ABS, brakes, vsc and other dash lights are on because ABS system is disabled.
Hissing noise when brake is pressed and took the car a much longer distance to stop and had to press the brakes very hard. Had to use the emergency brake to get back to home. Online it seems to suggest that this is a brake booster failure.
