2006 TOYOTA HIGHLANDER HYBRID Service Brakes Problems

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.

WHILE ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A STOP AT AN INTERSECTION DURING CITY DRIVING THE BRAKE PEDAL BECAME VERY HARD TO PRESS DOWN AND SEVERAL WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON MY VEHICLE DASHBOARD. AT FIRST, THE PROBLEM WAS INTERMITTENT BUT PROGRESSIVELY GOT WORST OVER CONTINUED DRIVING. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO MY LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER FOR INSPECTION. THE SERVICE MANAGER INFORMED ME THAT I HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE ABS BRAKE SYSTEM MODULE AND THE REPAIR WAS ABOUT $2,600.00. I PARKED THE VEHICLE BECAUSE IT WAS NO LONGER SAFE TO DRIVE AND TO MANY CLOSE CALLS. LATER I FOUND OUT THAT THIS 2006 TOYOTA HIGHLANDER HYBRID AND SEVERAL PROCEEDING MODEL YEARS HAD A VERY EXTENSIVE CONSUMER COMPLAINT NUMBER FOR THIS VERY SAME ABS BRAKE SYSTEM CONCERN. I CONTACTED THE SERVICE MANAGER AT THE SAME LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP ABOUT A WARRANTY AT WHICH TIME THE SERVICE MANAGER INFORMED ME THAT MY WARRANTY EXPIRED WHICH I NEVER WAS INFORMED. IT SEEMS TO ME PERSONALLY THIS IS HOW THE AIR BAG SAFETY PROBLEM WAS OVER LOOKED ON THESE VEHICLES UNTIL CONSUMERS LOST THEIR LIVES ON FAULTY CONSUMER PRODUCTS THAT GOT PROGRESSIVELY WORST OVER TIME. SEVERAL OF THE OTHER IMPORT MANUFACTURE HAVE OFFERED RECALLS ON THE VERY SAME ABS SYSTEM BRAKE CONCERN. TOYOTA HAS YET TO OFFER A RECALL SEVERAL MODEL YEARS INTO THIS SAFETY CONCERN WITH THE ABS BRAKE SYSTEM. IF WE AS CONSUMERS CAN'T STOP OUR VEHICLES WHILE DRIVING ON THE CITY STREETS OR HIGHWAYS ACCIDENTS HAPPEN AND PEOPLE DIE. THIS SAFETY CONCERN HAS GONE ON LONG ENOUGH WITH THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS OVER THE YEARS FOR THE SAME ABS BRAKE SYSTEM CONCERN. THERE MUST BE A MUCH BETTER JOB AT PROTECTING THE CONSUMER SAFETY FROM CONTINUED SAFETY CONCERNS NOT BEING ADDRESSED BY TOYOTA. ALL THE OTHER IMPORT MANUFACTURES HAVE STEP UP WITH RECALLS, WHATS TAKING TOYOTA MANUFACTURES SO LONG AFTER YEARS OF THE SAME SAFETY CONCERNS. PLEASE HELP US WITH THIS ABS BRAKE SYSTEM CONCERN.

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 NHTSA TO A CONTINUING PROBLEM.

THE BRAKE ACTUATOR PUMP FAILED AND WAS REPLACE UNDER THE WARRANTEE EXTENSION ZG1. THE REPLACEMENT BRAKE ACTUATOR PUMP FAILED BUT TOYOTA WILL NOT COVER IT. IT IS A VERY EXPENSIVE DEFECTIVE PART. WHEN THE PART FAILS MANY SYSTEMS ARE IMPACTED ESPECIALLY THE BRAKES.

INTERMITTENTLY, WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, ALL OF THE DASH LIGHTS COME ON, THERE IS A HIGH BEEPING SOUND, AND THE BRAKES STOPPED FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. THE BRAKES EITHER NEED TO BE MATCHED WITH EXTREME FORCE OR THE BRAKES WILL SLAM BY BARELY TOUCHING THE BRAKE PEDAL. TOYOTA ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE AND OFFERED A WARRANTY EXTENSION TO OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AFTER THE EXTENSION WAS OFFERED AND HAVEN'T HAD ISSUES UNTIL RECENTLY. I AM CONCERNED FOR NOT ONLY MY SAFETY BUT THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY. I HAVE BEEN A TOYOTA FAN FOR ALL OF MY ADULT LIFE. HOWEVER, AFTER DEALING WITH THIS ISSUE AND BEING QUOTED $2000 TO FIX IT, I WOULD OFFER ADVICE TO ANYBODY OR NOT TO BUY A TOYOTA OR AT LEAST NOT A TOYOTA HYBRID. BUYER AND DRIVER BEWARE!

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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 TOYOTA HIGHLANDER HYBRID. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH, THE VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL AND ANTI LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STOPPED AND PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED SPORADICALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BY TOYOTA OF HATTIESBURG (6461 US-98, HATTIESBURG, MS 39402) IN FEBRUARY OF 2017, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED FOR THE RECENT FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 170,000.

DASHBOARD WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON ALL AT THE SAME TIME AND STAYED ON. WENT TO DIAGNOSE REPAIR AND THEY SAID IT NEEDS A NEW BRAKE ACTUATOR. UPON INVESTIGATING, I SEE THAT TOYOTA EXTENDED THE WARRANTY FOR 10 YEARS BUT IT EXPIRED ON DEC 31 2017. UPON REFLECTION, WE HAVE FELT THE BRAKES OCCASIONALLY BECOME VERY STIFF AND HARD TO STOP THE VEHICLE WHILE IN MOTION. THE MECHANIC SAYS IT IS BECAUSE OF THE ACTUATOR ISSUE. I FEEL THIS SAFETY ISSUE, ALBEIT RATHER OLD, IS A KNOWN ISSUE TO TOYOTA AND THEY SHOULD PROVIDE SOME RECOURSE FOR THE REPAIR. I HAVE INCLUDED THE DIAGNOSTIC SHOWING DIAGNOSTIC CODES AND MECHANIC EVALUATION.

I BOUGHT MY CAR 2006 TOYOTA HIGHLANDER HYBRID FROM A NON-TOYOTA DEALERSHIP LAST YEAR AUGUST. AND FEW MONTHS LATER I STARTED NOTICING SQEEZING NOISE AND SINCE LAST FEW MONTHS I HAVE NOTICED A TAPPING NOISE WHENEVER I APPLY BREAK EVEN WHEN CAR IS IN STATIONARY. I TOOK CAR TO TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT SEEMS TO BE AN ACTUATOR PROBLEM AND NEEDS TO INVESTIGATED IN DETAIL. I FEEL IT IS VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE THE CAR AS WHENEVER I APPLY BREAKS I HEAR TAPPING NOISE. I HAVE ALSO SEEN POST RELATED TO SAME PROBLEM FROM MANY CUSTOMERS.

WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKE PEDAL THE CAR PRODUCES A CHIRPING / CRUNCH NOISE AND IT SLIPS A TAD. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS ON OR OFF, MOVING OR STOPPED. ON A RECENT SERVICE VISIT, THE DEALER SAID THAT IT'S LIKELY THE BRAKE ACTUATOR AND TO JUST DRIVE WITH IT UNTIL IT PRODUCES AN ERROR CODE. ONLINE, I READ THAT TOYOTA HAD CREATED AN "EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THIS ISSUE, BUT WOULD ONLY FIX IT IF IT PRODUCED AN ERROR CODE. THAT "EXTENDED WARRANTY" IS NOW PASSED AND MY CAR STILL HASN'T PRODUCED THE CODE. THIS HAS GOT TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE.

WAS GOING 50 MILES AN HOUR AND ALL MY ABS AND BREAK LIGHTS WENT ON. I WAS LUCKY I WAS ON A STRAIGHT AWAY WITH PLENTY OF SPACE BETWEEN THE ME AND THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME.

I RECEIVED NO INFORMATION ABOUT THE WARRANTY EXTENSION THAT TOYOTA SUPPOSEDLY GOT OUT TO ALL THOSE WHO PURCHASED VEHICLES WITH THIS MALFUNCTION.

BRAKE ACTUATOR FAILURE. MY 2006 TOYOTA HIGHLANDER HYBRID LIMITED JUST HAD A FAILURE OF THE BRAKE ACTUATOR THAT WAS DIAGNOSED BY TEXAS TOYOTA GRAPEVINE. UNFORTUNATELY THIS FAILURE HAPPENED AFTER THE TIME THAT WAS COVERED UNDER A WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT PROGRAM FROM TOYOTA FOR THIS DEFECTIVE PART. I CALLED TOYOTA USA AND THEY SAID SINCE THE PART DID NOT FAIL DURING THE TIME OF THE WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT THEY WILL NOT HELP. FORTUNATELY NO ONE IN MY FAMILY WAS INJURED DURING THE FAILURE NOR WAS THERE ANY PROPERTY OR BODILY INJURY TO ANYONE ELSE. AS EXPECTED, I WILL NOT BUY ANOTHER TOYOTA SINCE THEY PLACED MY FAMILY'S LIVES IN DANGER DUE TO A KNOWN DEFECTIVE PART THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPLACED UNDER A RECALL.

ANTI LOCK BRAKE ACTUATOR MAKING A RAPID CLICKING SOUND AND VEHICLE DISPLAYS CHECK VSC SYSTEMS WARNING LIGHT. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON MALFUNCTION WITH TOYOTA HYBRID VEHICLES. THE WARRANTY NEEDS TO BE EXTENDED TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE.

BRAKE ACTUATOR WAS MAKING A LOT OF NOISES STARTING IN 8/2017 WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR. ACTUATOR PROBLEM LIGHTS CAME ON IN 3/2018, I DON'T KNOW IF THEY CAME ON BEFORE I OWNED CAR. WHEN I TOOK CAR INTO DEALER ON 9/8/2017 THEY TOLD ME NOISE WAS NORMAL AND THERE WAS NO PROBLEMS WITH BRAKES. ON 4/2/2018 VSC/ABS/BRAKE/TRACTION LIGHTS CAME ON AND TOYOTA TOLD ME I HAD TO REPLACE BRAKE ACTUATOR. I OPENED CASE # 1804022826 WITH TOYOTA WHO TOLD ME I WAS RESPONSIBLE TO PAY FOR REPAIR. THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS LATER I HAVE A NEW BRAKE ACTUATOR THAT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SOUNDS AT ALL.

I WAS STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT AT THE OFF-RAMP OF EAST-BOUND 202/MCQUEEN RD EXIT. MY RIGHT FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, WHEN THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO ACCELERATE UNEXPECTEDLY AND HIT THE REAR OF VEHICLE STOPPED IN FRONT OF ME. AS I REALIZED THE COLLISION, I PRESSED THE BRAKE HARDER DELIBERATELY (WHILE THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME HAD STARTED TO MOVE FURTHER), AND TO MY HORROR MY CAR CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE DESPITE MY DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL. I CONSCIOUSLY CHECKED MY FEET TO ENSURE I WAS PRESSING THE BRAKES AND NOT THE ACCELERATOR. MY CAR CONTINUED TO STRANGELY & UNEXPECTEDLY ACCELERATE UNTIL IT HIT THE SAME CAR IN FRONT OF ME AGAIN THE 2ND TIME AT THE TRAFFIC INTERSECTION. AFTER THE 2ND COLLISION, MY CAR STOPPED AND I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE MCQUEEN ROAD.

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 NHTSA RECORDS SHOW CUSTOMERS HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING FOR A LONG TIME AND THAT THEY KNOW.

I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY BREAKS NOT WORKING! IM AN EXTREMELY SCARED TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE NOW I DONT WANT MY FAMILY HURT OR OTHERS IN THE ROAD IT IS A BIG SAFETY CONCERN THAT TOYOTA NEEDS TO ADDRESS UNTIL IT HAS BEEN COMPLETED ON ALL VEHICLES! TOYOTA HAS DIAGNOSED IT AS THE BREAK ACCUMULATER AS DEFECTIVE! THE COST IS 3000 I JUST CAN BELIVE THIS HASN'T BEEN FIXED ON ALL VEHICLES!. I REALLY HOPE WE CAN GET THIS DONE SOON SO I CAN DRIVE MY VEHICLE AGAIN!

I WAS PREGNANT AND DRIVING WITH 2 SMALL CHILDREN WHEN THE LIGHTS ON MY DASHBOARD CAME ON ABOUT VSC AND A LOUD RINGING HAPPENED AND THEN I TRIED TO BRAKE AT THE STOP LIGHT AND THEY WERE SO DIFFICULT TO PUSH I BARELY STOPPED IN TIME TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. WAS TOLD IT WAS THE ABS SYSTEM AND THAT TOYOTA IS AWARE OF THIS BUT PUT STIPULATIONS ON AN EXTENDED WARRANTY RATHER THAN RECALL SO IT'S TOO LATE FOR MOST TO GET FIXED AND BE COVERED. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AND EXPENSIVE FIX TOYOTA NEEDS TO STAND BEHIND.

MY BRAKES BEGAN MAKING A LOT OF NOISE WHILE PARKED OR STATIONARY. THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER DIAGNOSED THE MALFUNCTION AS THE BRAKE ACTUARY ASSEMBLY. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND IT TURNS OUT THIS IS A RECOGNIZED PROBLEM WITH 2006-7 TOYOTA HIGHLANDER HYBRIDS AND IN RESPONSE TOYOTA EXTENDED THE WARRANTY PERIOD UNTIL DECEMBER 2017 TO COMPENSATE. HOWEVER, I WASN'T AWARE OF THIS DEFECT UNTIL RECENTLY, JUST A FEW MONTHS AFTER THE END OF THE EXTENDED WARRANTY PERIOD. WHY WASN'T A RECALL ISSUED FOR SOMETHING AS IMPORTANT TO SAFETY AS THE BRAKES?

I PURCHASED A 2006 HIGHLANDER HYBRID FWD IN FEB 2018 FROM HERCULES POLICE DEPARTMENT. FAIRLY OFTEN WHEN I APPLY THE BRAKES AT LOWER SPEEDS 20-30MPH , THE SUV SURGES FORWARD LIKE THE BRAKES HAVE RELEASED FOR A MOMENT AND THEN HAVE REAPPLIED. IT IS DANGEROUS AND VERY DISCONCERTING IN CLOSE TRAFFIC OR WHEN GOING AROUND A CORNER OR CIRCLE. ALTHOUGH I HAVE MANAGED NOT TO HAVE A COLLISION, I HAVE COME PRETTY CLOSE WHEN DRIVING WITH A REASONABLE DISTANCE FROM THE CAR IN FRONT. I HAVE DESCRIBED IT TO TOYOTA, WHICH THEY DENIES THERE IS ANY PROBLEM SINCE THERE IS NO RECALL WAS DONE. I HAVE HAD IT DIAGNOSED WITHOUT ANY PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES BEING IDENTIFIED. THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT IS NOTED BY MANY PEOPLE ON THE INTERNET WHO DESCRIBE THE EXACT PROBLEM WITH MY MODEL AS WELL AS OTHER HYBRIDS MANUFACTURED BY TOYOTA. IT IS A DEFECT THAT COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT IF EMERGENCY BRAKING IS NECESSARY, WHICH AT SOME POINT WE ALL NEED TO DO TO BE SAFE ON THE ROAD. PLEASE ADDRESS THIS WITH TOYOTA.

WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT LETTER ZG1 BRAKES FAILED TO ENGAGE FOR THE OWNER AND A THIRD-PARTY MECHANIC. MECHANIC SUGGESTED IT WAS THE ABS SYSTEM AND RECOMMENDED TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. I WAS TOLD OF THE WARRANTY LETTER ZG1; MECHANIC AT DEALERSHIP READ CODES (C1345 AND C1368). THEY ATTEMPTED A RE-CALIBRATION BUT WAS UNSUCCESSFUL. THE RECOMMENDATION WAS TO REPLACE THE ACTUATOR. TOYOTA CORPORATE WAS CONTACTED TO SEE IF THIS WOULD FALL UNDER THE WARRANTY FOR REPLACEMENT. THEY DECLINED REPLACEMENT BECAUSE NONE OF THE FOLLOWING CODES WERE NOTED (C1391, C1252, C1253, C1256). THE WARRANTY VERBIAGE DOES NOT STATE THESE CODES MUST BE INDICATED, BUT INSTEAD SAYS THEY "MAY BE ILLUMINATED". MY ARGUMENT IS THAT IF THERE IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE ACTUATOR, REGARDLESS OF WHICH CODES WERE ILLUMINATED, THEN THIS COMPONENT SHOULD BE REPLACED BY TOYOTA. AT THIS POINT, I HAVE NOT BEEN TOLD IF IT IS SAFE TO OPERATE MY HIGHLANDER AND DEPEND ON THE BRAKING SYSTEM OR NOT.

MY SPEED WAS ABOUT 30 MPH; SPEED LIMIT WAS 40MPH. I WAS DRIVING NORTH-BOUND APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION. UP AHEAD, I SAW THAT TRAFFIC WAS STOPPING AND THE LIGHT WAS RED. I HAD PLENTY OF TIME TO SLOW TO A STOP, AND I STARTED TO EVEN THOUGH I WAS BACK ABOUT 15 CAR LENGTHS FROM THE CARS AHEAD. WHEN I STARTED PUSHING ON THE BRAKE, MY CAR IMMEDIATELY 'DIED' BUT THE CAR KEPT ROLLING FORWARD, EVEN THOUGH I CONFIRMED MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE. I WAS VERY STARTLED THAT THE CAR KEPT ROLLING WITH BRAKE APPLIED. BEFORE I COULD THINK ABOUT WHAT TO DO NEXT, THE CAR THEN RUMBLED AND SHOOK, AND THE ENGINE MADE A REVVING SOUND. THEN THE CAR JUST SPED UP INCREMENTALLY FASTER AND FASTER EVEN AS I DESPERATELY CONTINUED TO SHOVE HARD ON THE BRAKE. I YELLED "WHAT'S IT DOING?' I QUICKLY WONDERED IF I SHOULD PULL THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION BUT FELT THAT WAS THE WRONG THING TO DO. AS THE CAR WENT FASTER, I WENT INTO ABSOLUTE PANIC. I COULD NOT STOP THE CAR. I DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO MISS HITTING ANYONE. I WAS DESPERATE TO AVOID CARS, BUT I WAS COMPLETELY UNABLE TO STOP MY CAR EVEN AS I CONTINUED PUSHING HARD ON THE BRAKE. THEN I HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME AT THE LIGHT. I TRULY BELIEVE THIS WAS AN UNINTENDED BRAKE ACCELERATION. I AM DEEPLY COMPELLED TO REPORT THIS SO THAT THE CAUSE AND RESOLUTION MAY BE FOUND BEFORE OTHERS ARE SERIOUSLY HURT OR KILLED. I SUFFERED A FRACTURED BACK AND WAS IN THE HOSPITAL 4 DAYS; AND DRIVER I RAN INTO WAS HURT AS WELL REQUIRING HOSPITAL ATTENTION. BOTH THE 3RD PARTY COMPANY FOR TOYOTA WHO DOWNLOADED THE DATA BOX AND TOYOTA SAY THE BRAKES WERE NOT APPLIED; THAT IS NOT FACTUALLY UNTRUE! THE DATA COMPUTER PRINT-OUT SHOWS WHAT TOOK PLACE PRIOR TO THE IMPACT. IN FACT, IT SHOWS THAT THE ACCELERATOR CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE UP TO THE POINT OF IMPACT WHICH TELLS US THAT THE COMPUTER TOOK OVER THE ACTIONS OF THE CAR AND DISENGAGED THE BRAKES.

CODES WERE DOCUMENTED, BUT I FEEL THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BEYOND THE MANUFACTURER. IT IS ESPECIALLY PRONE TO THE SURGE WHEN BRAKES ARE HIT SUDDENLY ON CITY OR HIGHWAY STREETS. IT FEELS AS THOUGH THE COMPUTER CANNOT DECIDE WHETHER TO CHARGE THE BATTERY OR BRAKE AND THAT HESITATION IS FRIGHTENING!

I CANNOT USE THE CAR THE BRAKES ARE NOT RESPONDING AND I CAN HAVE AN ACCIDENT.

WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK IN NORMAL FREE-FLOWING TRAFFIC CONDITIONS ON THE FREEWAY, SEVERAL LIGHTS CAME ON THE DASH INDICATING BRAKE ISSUES INCLUDING VSC, ABS, SKID, PARKING BRAKE LIGHT. CONTINUED TO CAUTIOUSLY DRIVE HOME, BRAKES SEEMED OK. HAD OUR NON-DEALER MECHANIC LOOK AT THE BRAKES ALL WERE FINE AND HAD RECENTLY BEEN REPLACED. HE COULD NOT FIND A BRAKE ISSUE. TOOK TO THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER AND ONE CODE CAME UP C1391 "ABNORMAL LEAK IN ACCUMULATOR" AND WAS TOLD I NEEDED A NEW BRAKE ACTUATOR AT THE COST OF $3273.00. DIAGNOSTIC COST $138.00. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON DIAGNOSTIC PAPERWORK FROM DEALER SAYS, "CHECK FOR DTC'S FOUND C1391, CHECK FOR FLUID LEAKS, COULD NOT FIND LEAKS, CHECK ACCUMULATOR PRESSURE VOLTAGE (3.5 V), DEPRESSED PEDAL 4-5 TIMES ACCUMULATOR PRESSURE DROPS BELOW 3.0 V, RECOMMEND REPLACE BRAKE/ABS ACTUATOR". OTHER NOTES, SOME PART OF HYBRID SYSTEM SEEMS TO BE CYCLING EVERY FEW MINUTES. OVER THE YEARS, WHEN BRAKING, THERE HAVE BEEN TIMES WHERE THEY "JUMP" OR DON'T GRAB DURING BRAKE PRESSURE AND AFTER READING HAVE FOUND THIS COMPLAINT WITH OTHER OWNERS. I SEE THAT THE CAMRY AND THE LEXUS HAVE BOTH HAD THIS PART RECALLED/REPLACED BY TOYOTA AND WONDERING WHY, WHEN THIS IS LIKELY THE SAME HYBRID SYSTEM AND COMPONENT, THAT TOYOTA WILL NOT STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND OFFER THIS REPLACEMENT PART FOR OWNERS FOR FREE OR AT A DISCOUNT? THE OTHER VEHICLES HAVE HAD ACCIDENTS AS A RESULT OF THIS PART AND TOYOTA SHOULD STEP UP TO THE PLATE ON THE HIGHLANDER HYBRID.

IN JUNE 2014 WE HEARD A SQUEAKING NOISE WHEN WE PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE AND THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED WHILE WE WERE ON A TRIP. TWO DAYS AFTER WE RETURNED THE"CHECK VSC SYSTEM" CAME ON AND THE CAR WOULD NOT START.. THE DEALER SAID IT WAS DUE TO THE BATTERY. WE REPLACED IT AND THE WARNING LIGHT WENT AWAY. HOWEVER, THREE MONTHS LATER THE NOISE IS BACK. THE DEALER (DIFFERENT ONE) SAID THE BRAKE ACTUATOR NEEDS REPLACEMENT. VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR COSTING $3,600. AFTER DOING RESEARCH, I SAW MANY COMPLAINTS (AND A RECALL) FOR THIS DEFECTIVE PART IN OTHER TOYOTA VEHICLES. TOYOTA NEEDS TO DO A RECALL FOR THE HIGHLANDER AS WELL.

MY 2006 HIGHLANDER HYBRID HAS BEEN MAKING A SQUEAKING NOISE AT THE END OF A MODERATELY HARD STOP. IT ALSO MAKES THE SAME SOUND SOMETIMES WHEN BEGINNING TO MOVE AFTER START-UP AND THE BRAKES ARE RELEASED. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO A SHOP TO HAVE THEM INSPECT THE PROBLEM. THEY SAID IT WAS THE ABS ACTUATOR CONTROL MODULE MAKING THE NOISE. THE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE SAID THAT TOYOTA IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND THERE IS A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN REGARDING IT, BUT THEY HAVE DONE NOTHING TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THEY ALSO SAID THAT ANY PROBLEM INVOLVING THE ABS SYSTEM WAS A POTENTIAL HAZARD IF THE BRAKES FAILED COMPLETELY AS A RESULT. AT THIS POINT, I DON'T KNOW IF I SHOULD CONTINUE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. THE PART IS OVER $2700 TO REPLACE. WITH LABOR, THE COST IS ABOUT $3200. I READ ONLINE THAT ABS ACTUATORS HAVE BEEN AN ISSUE IN HIGHLANDER HYBRIDS, BUT NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE BY TOYOTA. *TR

WHEN APPLYING BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN FOR A STOP SIGN OR RED LIGHT, THE VEHICLE WILL LUNGE FORWARD OR ACCELERATE UNTIL THE BRAKE IS APPLIED HARDER/PEDAL PUSHED DOWN FURTHER. THIS HAS BEEN DESCRIBED IN OTHER COMPLAINTS AS UNINTENDED ACCELERATION WHEN THE BRAKE IS APPLIED. IT ALSO FEELS AS IF THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED AND THE VEHICLE BEGINS TO SLOW DOWN, HOWEVER, ONCE IT SLOWS TO ABOUT 10-15 MILES PER HOUR, THE CAR ACCELERATES FORWARDS OR THE BRAKES SOME RELEASE THEMSELVES EVEN THOUGH THE BRAKE PEDAL IS CONTINUOUSLY HELD DOWN. *TR

A WARNING NOISE REMAINS ON AT ALL TIMES SINCE THEN...THE SAME SOUND THAT COMES ON IF YOU FAIL TO FASTEN YOUR SEAT BELT. THE DEALERSHIP TESTED THE SYSTEM AND DETERMINED IT NEEDS A NEW BRAKE ACTUATOR PART WHICH WITH LABOR COMES TO OVER $2,000.00. I FILED COMPLAINTS WITH TOYOTA AND OTHER NATIONAL GROUPS TO NO AVAIL. I RECENTLY WAS NOTIFIED OF ANOTHER TOYOTA RECALL AND CAME ON THIS SITE AND DISCOVERED AN IDENTICAL INCIDENT (NHTSA ID NUMBER:10562656.)

IN OCTOBER 2013 I HAD A "CHECK VSC SYSTEM" WARNING LIGHT. UPON TAKING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY SAID IT WAS DUE TO THE BATTERY AND REPLACED IT AND THE WARNING LIGHT WENT AWAY. HOWEVER, OVER THE NEXT FEW MONTHS, WE STARTED NOTICING A "SQUEAKING" SOUND COMING FROM THE AREA UNDERNEATH THE FRONT OF THE CAR WHEN THE CAR WAS IN DRIVE BUT THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED. YESTERDAY, THE SAME "CHECK VSC SYSTEM" WARNING POPPED UP, ONLY NOW IT WAS ACCOMPANIED BY A NUMBER OF OTHER LIGHTS ON THE DASH, INCLUDING "ABS" "BRAKE" THE "TIRE PRESSURE (!)" AND ONE OTHER LIGHT ON THE LEFT SIDE TO THE UPPER RIGHT OF THE "READY" TEXT. THE DEALER HAS JUST TOLD ME THERE WERE TWO COMPUTER CODES, ONE IS C1241. THEY SAID THE PREVIOUS DEALER DID NOT DIG DEEP ENOUGH INTO THE ISSUE IN OCTOBER, AND THAT THE BRAKING SYSTEM WAS NOT GETTING ENOUGH PRESSURE. THE BRAKE ACTUATOR NEEDS REPLACEMENT, THE PART IS $1,800 AND WITH LABOR AND TAXES THE BILL COMES TO OVER $2,400. BASED ON OTHER RESEARCH I HAVE DONE TODAY THIS SEEMS TO BE A GROWING ISSUE THAT MANY OWNERS ARE FACING. *TR

AS I PULLED OUT OF THE PARKING LOT OF A HOTEL THE CHECK VCS SYSTEM, CHECK HYBRID SYSTEM, CHECK AWD SYSTEM WARNINGS BEGAN TO ILLUMINATE AND ALTERNATE. THE MASTER WARNING LIGHT, SLIP INDICATOR LIGHT, CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT AND THE ELECTRONICALLY CONTROLLED BRAKE SYSTEM WARNING LIGHT WERE ALL ILLUMINATED AS WELL. THE CAR WOULD DRIVE, HOWEVER, THE POWER STEERING AND ABS WERE NOT WORKING. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR TO THE CLOSEST TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. I WAS ORIGINALLY TOLD THAT THE CAR SIMPLY NEEDED A NEW BATTERY. ONCE THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED, I WAS TOLD THAT THE ECU FOR THE ABS SYSTEM HAD DIED AND WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED AT THE COST OF $2000. WHEN I MENTIONED THE RECALL AND THE FACT THAT THE SYMPTOMS WERE DIRECTLY IN LINE WITH THE RECALL NOTICE FOR THE IMP I WAS TOLD THAT WHILE MY VIN FELL UNDER THE BOJ RECALL, THE SPECIFIC SERIAL # OF MY IMP DID NOT. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT THIS WAS NOT THE PROBLEM MY CAR WAS HAVING. WHEN I ASKED WHETHER THE SERIAL NUMBERS OF THE D1M RECALL WERE CHECKED I WAS TOLD THIS WAS AN "INTERIM RECALL" AND THAT THEY WERE NOT AUTHORIZED TO DO REPAIRS ON THIS ONE YET SO THEY COULDN'T CHECK. RESEARCH HAS INDICATED THAT AN IMP FAILURE CAN CAUSE AND ECU FAILURE. FURTHERMORE, AN ECU FAILURE WOULD NOT HAVE CAUSED THE SYSTEM TO GO INTO FAIL SAFE MODE AS IT DID. I HAVE A TOYOTA CASE #, BUT THEY HAVE TOLD ME THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. *JS

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT APPROX. 60 MILES PER HOUR THE BRAKE LIGHT AND VCS SYSTEM LIGHT CAME ON. THE WARNING LIGHT ALSO WENT ON. IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE OWNER'S MANUAL, I TOOK THE CAR TO AN AUTHORIZED TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. ACCORDING TO THE AUTOMOBILE STATUS REPORT, THE ABS-HYDRAULIC CONTROL ASSEMBLY: WITH ECU MUST BE REPLACED. ACCORDING TO COMPLAINTS I RESEARCHED ON-LINE, SEVERAL COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN DOCUMENTED RELATING TO THIS MAKE, MODEL AND ABS SYSTEM. I FILED AN INCIDENT WITH TOYOTA (REFERENCE NUMBER: [XXX]). THE INTAKE REPRESENTATIVE WHO CHECKED WITH THE DEALERSHIP SAID THIS WASN'T A RECALL ITEM AND NO SUPPORT WAS AVAILABLE TO EXTEND THE WARRANTY ON THE PART. SHE CONFIRMED THAT THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT STATED THAT THERE WAS NO DEFECT IN THE WORKMANSHIP. I ASKED [XXX] (THE PERSON I SPOKE TO) IF I COULD TAKE THE VEHICLE FOR A SECOND OPINION RELATING TO THE ABS PART. I ALSO ASKED FOR VERIFICATION THAT THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT ACTUALLY CHECKED THE PART FOR A DEFECT OR IS QUALIFIED TO DETERMINE IF IN FACT IT IS A MANUFACTURERS' DEFECT. THE DEALERSHIP QUOTED THAT THE ABS PART; BRAKE FLUSH/FLUID EXCHANGE/BF; ENGINE AIR FILTER REPLACEMENT;A/C SERVICE-ACS; COOLANT FLUSH (PREMIUM)-CF; AND FUEL INJECTION SERVICE WOULD COST $2,250. I ALSO ASKED THE TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE WHAT THE BATTERY EXPECTANCY ON THE CAR IS AND WHETHER THE MANUFACTURER OFFERS ANY SUPPORT IN TERMS OF THE COSTS. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT THE BATTERY CAN COST $5,000.00 TO REPLACE BUT THE MANUFACTURER MAY OFFER SOME SUPPORT. I WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR ASSISTANCE, RESEARCH AND FILLING OF THIS COMPLAINT.

2006 HIGHLANDER HYBRID, 34,000 MILES BOUGHT USED. FAIRLY OFTEN WHEN I APPLY THE BRAKES AT LOWER SPEEDS, THE SUV SURGES FORWARD LIKE THE BRAKES HAVE RELEASED FOR A MOMENT AND THEN HAVE REAPPLIED. IT IS DANGEROUS. I TOOK THE CAR TO LEE'S TOYOTA (ON 03/03/12) FOR RECALL NOT RELATED TO THIS. THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS SOME AIR IN THE BRAKING SYSTEM, THE MECHANIC FIXED. AND I WILL NOT BE CHARGED FOR. THE ROTORS NEEDED TO BE CUT AND PADS CHANGED. WHEN I GOT HOME I TOOK THE WHEELS OFF AND THE ROTORS AND PADS ARE FINE. THE DEALER DID NOT GENERATE THE TICKET NUMBER FOR THE PROBLEM. I DID NOT MAKE ANYTHING OF IT BECAUSE THEY DID NOT CHARGE ME. JUST THE OTHER DAY WHILE BACKING UP THE SUV DID JUST THAT AND THE BUMPER ENDED UP ON THE STOP SIGN POLE. I DID ONLINE RESEARCH & NOW I KNOW I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. IT'S DEFIANTLY DANGEROUS AND IT SHOULD BE RECALLED. *TR
