Brake Light On problems of the 2007 Lexus LS460

Two problems related to brake light on have been reported for the 2007 Lexus LS460. The most recently reported issues are listed below.

1 Brake Light On problem

Failure Date: 12/11/2018

The brake pedal is hard when starting the car, brake pedal pulsates when stopping, brake pedal stiffens when stopping, a clicking sound under the hood, the following lights are lit: master warning light (red), brake warning light (red), abs (yellow), trac (yellow), vsc and the warning to pull the car over to a safe location and take to a dealer. The sevice department said the brake acuator needs replacing. Lexus USA should have done a recall on the brake acuator but instead did a warranty enhancement which ended 12-31-2017 (with unlimited miles) and a secondary coverage of 10 years from first day of use or 150,000 miles whicever comes first. If I had driven my car more than I did with the mileage going to 150,662 miles prior to 12/31/2017, I know the brake acuator problem would have hapened at that time (as it came on at 150,662 miles ) and Lexus would have replaced the faulty brake acuator. I am being penalized because I did not drive the car enough within a specific period of time so they will not cover the repair. Lexus USA knew the brake acuator was faulty even in 2009. This is a safety issue which Lexus should be held fully responsible to repair on my 2007 Lexus LS 460.
