2006 Toyota Highlander Vehicle speed control Problems

“The vsc light, ABS light, check engine light and sound is are on. The code is back as well c1391 for this brake actuator. It is a well known problem with toyotas . This was fixed once already by Toyota dealer and failed after 40k miles again. How can a part has failed again in such a short time and miles? This is a common problem and we can't get help from Toyota company other than to pay for their lack of quality on parts? I can't afford $4000 plust to fix a part that only lasted 40,000 miles. When is Toyota going to do a recall on this part and fix it for good?”

“2006 Toyota Highlander hybrid sometimes surges forward on braking. Seems unpredictable as to when it might happen. Both my wife & myself have experienced this on several occasions. I wonder if it is related to the other sudden acceleration recall of other model years. I see the 2007 to 2010 camry is part of the recall. My understanding is that the Highlander shares a lot of parts with that model.”

“Cruise control. If cruise is set at 70 mpg and you release it by the brake then try to resume the cruise after the vehicle has gone to 65 it will accelerate to 72 or 74 then drop to 70. I will not let this happen now by letting the speed get to whatever I had before, then resume to the original speed. I can duplicate this any time. The dealer said this was the way it now worked. My 1998 avalon does not do this when cruise is turned on.”

“After an synthetic oil change and rear brake job at firestone a few days earlier in atlanta, I was driving along and my check vsc system light came on. I then took it back to firestone and they put it on the computer and there were no codes; subsequently they suggested that I take it to the dealer for diagnosis. The diagnosis at the dealer revealed that I needed a new ABS accumulator and this could be repaired for $3,118. I was not interested in spending this amount since the part has a know design manufacturers defect. …”

“Was driving in traffic when an alarm sounded and several dashboard lights lit up. Center display said check vsc system . I took it to the dealer who said the ABS module needs to be replaced at a cost $2,800. Other than a vibration under the hood while slowing down the car appears to be operating normally. The ABS warning light is on which leads me to believe the ABS maybe disabled. I was able to run a vsc diagnostic and pulled code 45. Given the number of reported incidents for this failure it appears to be a wide spread problem.”
