Power Assist Brake problem #1

Lexus Ls 430 brakes failed moving into a parking space. Pressed on the breaks the surged forward went over a bump, curb, handicap sign and into the building. Was pressing on the brakes and the car just took off.

Service Brakes problem #2

After new brakes installed by Lexus 11/03/2009, brakes became grabby. When front wheels were wet as in after washing, brakes would make a loud "groaning" noise & lock the driver front wheel causing car to pull to left. After numerous complaints to Lexus, problem still not resolved as of 07/05/2011. Lexus continues to contend that this is normal. . . Even to include the wheel locking. . . Because it is wet. Speed to test essentially rolling only. . . Almost hit a pole in parking lot when stepping on brake after washing.
