IN JANUARY OF 2011 THE RED HYDRAULIC BRAKE LIGHT AND THE YELLOW ABS LIGHTS BEGAN TO ILLUMINATE INTERMITTENTLY. WHEN THE LIGHTS WERE ON THE ABS DID NOT OPERATE ON SLIPPERY ROADS. WITHIN TWO WEEKS THE LIGHTS ILLUMINATED CONSTANTLY. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THE DIAGNOSTICS INDICATED CODES C0210 AND C1238 REQUIRING BOTH REAR SPEED SENSORS AND ASSOCIATED WIRING HARNESSES. THE PROBLEM WILL NOT BE REPAIRED UNTIL THE DEALER/TOYOTA AGREE TO COMP THE REPAIR DUE TO THE SERVICE BULLETINS AND NUMBER OF CONSUMER COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE. NO ACCIDENTS OR INJURIES BUT IT IS NECESSARY TO BE VERY CAUTIOUS ON WET/SLIPPERY ROADS. *TR
