    Show my brake accumulator failed in what seems to be the same manner as the recalled parts, however my car is not covered under the recall and with 126K miles Toyota could only log he failure and say that if more cars have this issue the recall may be extended... hopefully it is so I can get my $2K back. When this goes driving gets exciting brakes get stiff then grab once the pump kicks in to help with the pressure. Also driving the 45 miles to the shop with the beeping gets really old windows down radio up not enough I still hear that beeping..... hopefully no one else gets this failure with too many miles to go but if you do and get your car serviced outside of the dealer call and log the failure with Toyota.
