Then about 9 mo to a year later the lights kept coming on again and the brakes failed twice, Toyota stated they would replace the brake system fluid and the master cylinder at our cost because we had taken it elsewhere and they felt that it had contaminated brake fluid, which our mechanic stated in writing was not. …”
