    2009 vehicle (manufactured 9/2008) only has 83k miles on it. Croaking sound for week or so and then one morning abs failure warning on display. Codes are c1241 and c1391. Same problem as others. Needs new abs pump and actuator. The parts are #44050-48320 and #44070-48020and cost over $3k for parts alone. Very disappointed in toyota, i thought toyota quality was better than this.
