While driving 40 mph, my dashboard lit up with 'brake brake malfunction', 'ABS chevk ABS', and 'check vsc system'. all dash lights lit up also. Drove to the repair shop and had codes run. No codes were present. This is related to the C1391 code that has a recall on 06&07 highlanders, and 08 camy's. the front right of the engine is making a clicking sound every 20 seconds from the brake stabilizer. Just prior to this for the last 2 weeks, the vehicle has had difficulty obtaining a 'ready' light. Battery has been pulled and bench tested, and all connections were checked. It would appear that in the last two months many 08 owners are presenting with this problem, with a range of proposed repair expense from $3,300 to $6,500. Seeing as this is a known problem with the 08 Camry', resulting in brake failure in both Camry's and highlander, this ought to be a recall for both vehicles.

After having a flat tire I pulled out the jack supplies by Toyota. I found as I was using the jack that it is extremely unsafe to use in any situation. The jack has to be extended almost all the way when dealing with 19 inch wheels. At the extended height the jack is unstable even when on a flat hard surface. When taking the tire off or putting it back on the jack and the auto rock quite a bit to the point that I had to stop and call for road service. Even the service person called the jack a unsafe piece of equipment. This has happened twice in the last two years and both times with the same results. The scissor jacks used on a SUV is extremely unsafe and needs to be changed. Safety needs to be a priority not weight or expense. It is too easy for the auto to fall off the jack when extended to almost the max.

I had a tire blowout on intrastate highway damaging wheel. That highway is recently repaired and there were no road hazards in sight at the time of the blowout. Tire had only 15,000 miles of wear and is filled with nitrogen. I personally inspected this tire and there is no damage to the thread. The tires have been rotated twice consistent on average with tire manufacture recommendation of every 7500 miles. Also at the time of the incident the weather 50 degrees and the roadway was clean and dry. The tire line is open country A20 and cannot be entered because its not on the drop down list. A brand new tire and wheel must be purchased.
