Consumer Description

When I’ve hit a pothole or hit the breaks to hard by ABS, and traction control lights would come on and then turn off. The other day they all turned on and stayed on with the break light on as well. Breaks all seemed to work fine, just a little spongy. I brought it in to a shop and they estimated 3k to repair Remove, replace, calibrate, and bleed ABS accumulator assembly and brake master cylinder assembly. Test drive-New OEM Toyota Parts. These parts were recalled but only up to 10 years or 150k miles. I’m at 164k so ineligible for the recall but if this part completely failed while I was driving I could have been killed or caused someone serious harm.
