What owners wrote
We have a 2008 toyota highlander with intermittent failure of the anti-lock brakes and vehicle stability control system (abs/vsc). For no apparent reason, the abs/vsc will malfunction and brakes operate incorrectly. It is an intermittent problem that comes an goes. We have almost had an accident in the snow in ohio. We have had the car into the dealer 4x without resolution since nobody knows what is wrong. It has been an ongoing issue since it started jan 2010.
