Brake Disc Pads problems of the 2006 Lexus IS250

Brake pressure has been lost over time. Car is harder to get to a stop during motion because the brake pedal goes all the way down even before starting up. Brake pads still have a good amount of ceramic left. Car has already been service and the problem still persist. I noticed there was an open recall back in 2010 but I never received a notice.

The contact owns a 2006 Lexus Is250. While driving 50 mph, the vehicle began accelerating on its own to 80 mph. The vehicle failed to completely slow down when the brake pedal was depressed. The contact was able to keep the speed at approximately 50 mph; however, the vehicle was continuously accelerating to higher speeds. She was unable to slow the vehicle down and crashed into a curve. The contact noticed that the rotors were orange and the rear brake pads were melted into the rotors. The axle failed and fractured. The contact was not injured. A police report was filed and the vehicle has not been repaired. The manufacturer stated that they would send a field inspector to inspect the vehicle. The failure and current mileages were 31,200.

I bought my new car a Is250 Lexus on oct 26, 2005. After 11k miles or so, my brake makes loud and consistent squeaking noise. I talked to the dealer and manufacturer many times, but they failed to resolve the issue, and state that it's normal. I think this is very serious for consumer, because it might fail someday and we don't even know it, but Lexus continue to refuse to fix the problems by saying it's normal for such car. As for the issue, I think it's life threatening for what it is use for.
