What owners wrote

2008 lexus rx400h: all warning lights and buzzer came on unexpectedly. Brake lost integrity, have to press harder on brakes for them to work. Does not feel safe to drive as I do not want to injure or kill anyone. Ran diagnostic and error codes c1256 and c1365 came up. These codes point to the brake accumulator failure. Repair is quoted at $3200 by toyota dealer. After researching this is a very common safety issues with toyota vehicles. My brothers prius has the same issue.
