My car has 60k miles on it. I have two lights on my dash. I took my car in and was told it was the brake actuator. I seen several recalls on this but the corolla is not listed???? I called toyota customer solutions who told me that it would be for me to cover. I find this very frustrating that one a car that has 60k miles that this is an issue. Not to mention the price of the part i was given $3600!!!!

Failure of the abs brake controller caused 3 lights on the dash to intermittently light (abs, traction & brake) during all driving conditions. Sometimes the brake light would be off while the abs & traction lights were on, and other times all three lights would be off. A computer scan discovered a short in the abs brake controller.

While waiting for the traffic light to change and my foot on the brakes, the car suddenly accelerated and despite shifting to park and pulling on the emergency brake the car continued to rev very high for several minutes. Just prior to acceleration, the car's brakes became very soft and sunk all the way to the floor of the car as if someone had depressed the power in the brake line. I turned off the engine and…
