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.

I was parked with the engine running for approximately 18 minutes when suddenly, I heard a beeping sound in the car it would not stop!!! I turned my engine off in hope to reset whatever it was but as soon as me foot touched the brake the beeping resumed. It was raining and I had not clue of what it was. At this point, all of the brake light on my dash came on . I went out of the car popped the hood and didn't immediately recognize anything. I then went back in the car and with the beeping still in my ear, decided to head home. That's when I noticed I could not stop my car !!! the brake was stiff and I literally had to force my car to stop by applying as much pressure as physically possible to my brake pedal. I took the car to my mechanic and after diagnostics he stated it's the abs pump and brake actuator.

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.

Abs brake light warning came on then brakes failed soon after.

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.

Brake lights, abs lights , vsv light on and no brake control.

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.

In may 2017 I replaced rear brakes but the "squawk" noise when releasing the brake pedal persisted. On 6-8-17 I returned to Lexus wh dealer (customer # 171829) and the tech requested a test ride. At the curb, I engaged brake, and tech saw the abs brake light. He immediately diagnosed the brake actuator unit. Mileage in/put on invoice 207972 (attached) verifies the car never went on test ride for diagnosis. Scott at Lexus cust care claimed there was no warranty recall at that time and advised me to consider the Lexus wh service mgr offer to repair for $5000 less $1200 good faith discount. I inquired if this was a safety issue and was told no by technician it was just a noise. Several months later, problem worsened so I researched issue and discovered service bulletin issued April 2016 for brake actuator. On Dec 11 2017 engaged Lexus cust care again and eric young, agent, checked my VIN and advised my car was included on the sb. He also noted the Lexus dealer claimed in June 2017 the car did not fail yet they tried to charge me $5000 for a repair. When I requested notes or tangible proof to take to the dealer, eric called to set appt at dealer for me and I dropped my car on 12-11-17 on 12-12-17 the Lexus service mgr now claimed the car did not qualify for sb repair because no codes or lights on dashboard. Dealer failed to acknowledge the battery replacement in oct 2017 which would have erased codes. Lexus service mgr new repair quote is $3900 less $1200 = $2700 + tax. (again no invoice provided) I refused to retrieve my car until corp and/or dealers put their decision to deny my claim in writing. Lexus supervisor claims they do not put proprietary information in writing and would only provide attached email. No invoice provided by dealer I believe my vehicle is covered under warranty policy bulletin 16-01 aka warranty enhancement program - zlg.
