The car has very jerky and non-linear stop. While braking it feels like the vehicle is slipping.
At approximately 4,588 miles on my 2024 Lexus Lx 600 (VIN: [xxx] , built may 2024), the orange brake system warning light (exclamation mark in a circle) illuminated on the dashboard while the vehicle was parked and running. No prior braking issues, unusual noises, or loss of pedal feel noticed. The light stayed on steadily after restart. This matches symptoms in Lexus TSB l-sb-0022-22 (dtc c1391: abnormal leak in brake accumulator/accumulator assembly). It disables abs, vsc (vehicle stability control), brake hold, and other safety features, posing a potential risk in emergencies or low-traction conditions (e. G. , off-road use). No crash or injury occurred. Vehicle is under warranty; planning dealer service for actuator replacement. Dashboard photo available if needed. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

When automatic height control system check warning light comes on, both Lx570 traction control system and abs behave strangely. This happened three time in one day. When the vehicle was in standing in an uphill to join the road, during acceleration, traction control system light starts to splash, vehicle would not move and hesitates. One has to drive slowly to avoid wheels spinning and making noise. When exiting from one highway and trying to join another highway in an uphill exit, when the brake is applied gently to control my speed, vehicle came to abrupt stop surprising myself and the 4 vehicles behind so much so that behind vehicles has to swerve hitting my car. Never seen this problem before.

When I applying breaks when coming to stop, hears abnormal humming noise. Sound appears to be coming from driver front seat by breaks. Every time I apply the brakes, I hear the motor actuating, and I'm so anxious and worried that the brakes might not work. The brake is a life-threatening device, so I'm very anxious. Currently, Lexus says that it is normal to make sounds and there is nothing wrong with safety, but this is not normal. And it is a brake, so it cannot be normal for safety. When I first bought the car, I didn't hear anything at all. They keep saying there's no safety issue, but I don't know when it's going to happen and I'm so nervous I remember a few years ago, a Toyota Lexus part failure to activate its brakes, killing a whole family. I hope you investigate thoroughly so that it doesn't happen again. Thank you for your hard work.

Occasionally when just touching the brakes the vehicle reacts as if I had slammed on the brakes.

Vehicle while driving at speed of 30 to 50 miles an hour suddenly has single wheeled front breaking on left wheel or right wheel all of a sudden. Tends to feel like what the braking system does during the activation of the vehicle skid control system while driving on slippery surfaces in winter light conditions. This also happens when the vehicle is put into reverse after first starting engine, shifting into reverse and backing up short distance. The fact that the vehicle does it while driving at speeds of 30 to 50 miles an hour is quite dangerous due to the fact that it happens all the sudden and dry payment. This happened at highway speed's in traffic with us could have caused an accident though I was able to safely pull over.
