Brakes ABS system failure affect the rear traction not feeding the brakes rear lines could be related to the proportioning sensing valve or other devices and the dealer says that the part it-??s discontinued and service center says that the part cost around $2,000 plus labor. It-??s very dangerous that someone have this issue on the road.

Brakes applied at 45 mph, vsc activated, rear brakes locked on and would not release. Vehicle was driven to a safe location off the highway and was transported to owners home via flatbed. The rear brakes were very hot and grabbing as I exited the highway. The parking brake light in the console lit. And the audio beeper sounded continuously. Incident was reported to the Toyota dealer. They did not request to inspect the vehicle.
