Keep Your Car Up-to-Date

Keep Your Vehicle Up-to-Date

By: Manny Quodala

I want to share my driving experience that I will never forget on a Wednesday, on my way home from work. I do not know how but I thank God for bringing me home alive and safe!

This is a friendly reminder. If you have a Toyota 4-Runner Models 2003, 2004, 2005, and Lexus G470, beware of the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) motor failure. This brake system failure includes not only the four wheel but also the emergency brake, total brake loss.

The brake system and the brake pedal is attached to the rod on the left. The cylinder with the yellow tag is the ABS

motor that failed.

Behind the lower dash board is the brake pedal is where the light is and is connected to the brake system. The beige color on the left is the fuse module and above it is the vehicle computer.

Please heed to safety recalls and make sure your car, truck or motorcycle is in working order. Your life depends on it.
