The contact owns a 2008 Lexus Ls460. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle and depressing the brake pedal, there was a knocking and ticking sound coming from the brakes. Additionally, the brake light, traction control light, and check engine warning lights were illuminated. The abs, brakes, and vsc messages were displayed. The vehicle was taken to the local mechanic who diagnosed that the brake actuator was faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and the contact was informed that the vehicle was no longer under extended warranty coverage for the failure. The local dealer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 126,000.
While I was driving one day, my car's braking system loss power to the brakes and I almost hit another car. The car began beeping and will not stop while the car is on. I signed up for drivers. Lexus. Com to obtain the vehicle service history report and the brake actuator assembly was replaced back in 2012 which was paid out of pocket by the previous owner. 8 years later and only 55,000 miles more, the same problem has occurred. There was recall for this very vehicle in 2016 but it has ended in 2018. Now I am stuck out of being able to fix the car due to the $3,833 repair cost I can't afford. The Lexus dealership will not honor the recall since it has passed even though the repair code is due to the recall. I think this is not right, especially it is obvious that this recall has not been fixed. I have gone online and see this is happening to almost every owner of this vehicle from 2007-2015. People who have bought this car should not have to pay for a recalled issue that is still occurring even though the recall campaign has expired. This is not right for all of us, especially me who is experiencing this for the second time on this car. I was lucky in not getting in to an accident but if I was on the freeway when it did, I may as well be dead.
