2 Brakes Failed problem of the 2010 Lexus LS460

Failure Date: 06/11/2019

I am experiencing an anti lock brakes actuator failure. Upon starting the vehicle it gives the warning "stop the vehicle and contact a dealer". The extended warranty is limited by mileage and years. Being a key safety component in vehicle operation, I am requesting this issue be converted into a recall.

3 Brakes Failed problem of the 2008 Lexus LS460

Failure Date: 06/07/2019

While in motion, brakes started pulsating and "clicking", then brake pedal feel got very firm and had difficulty stopping, almost resulting in accident. Toyota has released warranty enhancement program for the brake actuator assembly, but my vehicle is just beyond the 10yr/150k mile period. I feel this is a serious safety matter and NHTSA should have worked with Toyota on a safety recall remedy. If brakes fail, the consumers will be seriously injured or die. Vehicle only has 60k miles and this is a known defect!.

4 Brakes Failed problem of the 2010 Lexus LS460

Failure Date: 05/04/2018

I am experiencing an anti lock brakes actuator failure. Upon starting the vehicle it gives the warning "stop the vehicle and contact a dealer". I have did this and found that this is an issue that Toyota/Lexus is aware of as they have issued a service bulletin about it and offered an extended warranty. However, the extended warranty is limited by mileage and years. Being a key safety component in vehicle operation, I am requesting this issue be converted into a recall. I have tried to get repair assistance from Lexus customer support and they denied the request based on mileage.

5 Brakes Failed problem of the 2007 Lexus LS460

Failure Date: 04/03/2018

Brake system failure code 1391 indicating the brake accumulator and/or actuator, when applying brake front end shimmys to a point where control of car can be lost. Lexus extended recall to 12/17 however the problem is a definite safety issue and there are many complaints on line about this problem. The problem in most cases can arise at 80,000-up miles and cost is prohibitive at about $3500, this should have been a safety recall since there is so much documentation about this problem. I contacted Lexus and they had no answer but to say the extended warranty is expired.

9 Brakes Failed problem of the 2008 Lexus LS460

Failure Date: 05/05/2016

When driving on a highway, warning lights "check abs" "check vsc system" "check brake system" "brake malfunction" "stop the vehicle in a safe place immediately. Contact a dealer" suddenly came on and a 5 other lights also came up. It was scary me so much. I had to pull over and stop. After checking to sure the brake still function, I slowly drive home with the emergency light on. Came home, I did a little research on the internet, and it turned out this is a known and very common problem for this car, and Lexus continue to deny the problem, and failed to recall to fix the problem. It's brake actuator that failed around 114,830 miles. I really don't know what to do now other than to take the car to the dealer this Saturday.

Squeal noise when pressing brake pedal, coming from brake actuator. Bleeding the brake does not help. Expect brake failure every time I push the pedal. Annoying noise from such expensive vehicle. Really, Lexus! this failure and unhappy customers is discussed all over Lexus forums, Lexus know about it but prefer not to acknowledge it!.
