Three problems related to brake light on have been reported for the 2009 Lexus LS460. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
At approximately 97k miles while driving on the highway all brake lights illuminated on the dash and a message displayed �immediately pull over safely and contact your Lexus dealer for assistance� I took the car to Lexus dealer the next day and after inspection it was determined the brake actuator module failed which automatically makes the abs system inoperable and many other safety features. As abs is required on all vehicles this is a major safety hazard and must be repaired. I learned the company had an �extended service bulletin for these cars and have sense redesigned this part, however I was notified I was one month and ten days past the ten year �grace� period of �vehicle in-service� and I would not qualify for assistance with replacement. This item failing is a major safety hazard and can lead to total brake failure a recall must be issued to ensure safe vehicles on the road, I do not understand how a recall was not issued in the first place it seemes as though the �warranty enhancement� or �extended service bulletin�. Was just a way to post pone the problems being addressed properly and the bad pr that comes with a recall.
While driving down the road I had five warning lights to come on a red master warning light red brake warning light electronic control brake warnings yellow abs light and a slip indicator light the next day the lights went out they stayed off approximately 3 days then they came on again that's when I made an appointment with the dealer upon taking the car to the dealer the breaks now are real very sensitive just touch them and they were stop johnson Lexus of raleigh diagnose the problem and said I needed a break actuator$4, 300 I researched the problem and found that there was a secondary warranty added because they had so many problems with the actuator but for some reason they will not honor my warranty I meet all the criteria I have a 128000 miles on my car and is less than 10 years old the secondary warranty goes up to 250, 000 miles it's obvious they had problems with the actuator but they would not have had in a extended warranty if there is an extended warranty I feel that they should fix my car before someone gets hurt you cannot replace a life.
All brake lights on dash board are lit and I'm advise to stop driving car and call dealer. A tech friend of mine checked the system and it has fault code, c1391, which is a defective brake accumulator/actuator.
