Consumer Description

My ABS system light is on. The Toyota mechanic has determined that it is due to Nitrogen gas from a component of the brake booster pump assembly could leak into the brake fluid. As nitrogen is released into the brake fluid, the brake pedal may have reduced hydraulic pressure. Under certain circumstances, this condition could affect stopping distance and increase the risk of a crash. Toyota recalled model year 2010 Prius vehicles manufactured March 31, 2009, through October 9, 2009. I took my Prius to Toyota to fix this ABS recall problems but they are refusing to fix the problem for free. They are charging me $4000 to fix it.
