Service Brakes · at 106,000 miles · reported Apr 5, 2016
My check pcs and vbs lights came on and went off. I continue to drive and my breaks worked fine for a week. Driving home on a side street crossing a bridge and a piercing beep came on and would not go off. I think that was an indicator ro pull off the road. I took my foot off the accelerator and slowly guided to side of bridge and called my husband. I had a diagnostics and was told that is ABS accelerator and that and the part is $2500 without labor. This is a safety hazard that my brakes gave out and should be on the recall list. My car is 2006 gs430 with 106,000 miles.
