1 Brakes Failed problem of the 2016 Lexus ES350

Failure Date: 04/15/2016

There has been a recall on Lexus 2016 ES 350 in April 2016 for the brake actuator which could cause brake pressure to fail. I have called several times the Lexus dealership in escondido, CA. Tells me. . . . . . . "we don't have the parts and we will call you when we get the parts. " I am driving a brand new car that does not comply with a portion of fmvss 126, loss of vehicle stability control, increasing the risk of a crash. It is now mid August 2016. I will probably be dead if the brakes go out and I will not be able to report to you where the incident happened. What can I do to save my self and possibly others?.

4 Brakes Failed problem of the 2007 Lexus ES350

Failure Date: 02/02/2010

Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6) Lexus Es350, 2007; 16,800 miles; VIN: [xxx] on February 2nd, 2010, I was driving above referenced car, with only about 16,800 miles driven on it, barely at 20 mph on a side street and our Lexus accelerated on its own, brakes failed and the car skidded and hit the pavement of a sidewalk. I took the car to the Lexus of rockville (301 762 9009) and they said although most repairs are covered under the warranty, a few are not. They initially quoted me my share of the cost to about $250 with which I agreed. Subsequently they called me and told me that my bill will be about $2300 in addition to the costs covered by the warranty. Please verify that these costs are legitimate and please re-determine why will they not release my car for a second opinion? being in doubt, I asked for the car back for taking it to another dealer, but they will not give back to me my own car (they said due to safety reasons) and coerced me into paying a bill of $2199. 36 (invoice #882736), which contained almost $1800 in labor cost and the balance in parts. Please look into this incidence and the attached invoice very thoroughly. It was a manufacturing defect that the car accelerated on its own, brakes failed and the car skidded and hit the pavement. It was none of my fault and the car is still under 7 year warranty. Lexus should fully and completely reimburse me for repairs and injuries (to my right wrist). As a civic and humanitarian duty, I also urge you to please consider a recall, so that others will not be injured more seriously.

5 Brakes Failed problem of the 2007 Lexus ES350

Failure Date: 07/10/2009

On 07/2009 we took our 2007 Lexus Es350 in for service with 20k miles. It was being taken in for a brake problem, faulty visor and vehicle tilted/leaning. I was advised that the brakes had 1mm left (near brake failure). A Lexus tech replaced the brakes, visor and confirmed that the vehicle was tilted/leaning. Since then the vehicle returned several times for service including but not limited to the following: brakes and tilt/leaning. The brakes were replaced again and another tech confirmed that the vehicle was tilted/leaning with visual and physical inspection. The tech measured from the wheel well to the ground. The dealer replaced the front suspension but the results were the same. The vehicle is still tilted/leaning and now Lexus is refusing to fix it and stated, they have done all they can do to fix it. After I complaint that the vehicle is unsafe a corp field tech was sent to inspect the vehicle. The field tech also confirmed that the vehicle was tilted/leaning and stated that they don't currently have a remedy for this problem. The vehicle currently has 25k miles. Due to the statement above it leads me to believe the this is a manufacture defect.
