| Brake Light On problems |
I was driving my vehicle home when the brake light and the vcs on and off light came on and an alarm type noise started,as I pulled into my parking space I found I had no brakes at all, including my emergency brake. I had to let my car hit the parking curb to stop it, and throw my car into park. Had this happened seconds before coming down the main road, I could have been killed, or killed someone else. I had the car towed to my mechanic who confirmed I had full brake fluid, but the actuator failed. I have to replace the entire abs system. I researched on found a recall for this event, just not for my model. I contacted Lexus and was told I could take it to the dealer (and pay thousands more than I am already with my mechanic) and they would submit the bill to Lexus to see if they "wanted" to "consider" a reimbursement. Not that they wanted to see the car, no concern for the safety of the driving public at all. I found several other Lexus drivers posting similar incidents for other models also not involved in Lexus' brake actuator recall. This is a very serious hazard to the public and Lexus needs to act on it!!!.
