Lexus SC400 owners have reported 1 problem related to brake light (under the exterior lighting category). The most recently reported issues are listed below.
On two occasions just before coming to a complete stop at a signal, the car suddenly lurched forward for no reason, and I was unable to control this motion with the brakes, so I quickly put the transmission in neutral, and noticed that the engine was racing at 6,000 rpm. After this occurred the second time, when parking in the garage, I noticed that the engine rpms would change by about 200-300 rpms about every 5th time when just applying the brakes while car was in park. A possible problem could be related to the fact that when I bought the car 2/20/06, I noticed that the rear mounted high brake light led built into the rear wing was not working. The dealer repaired this by locating a broken (cut?) wire in the wiring harness. This repair was done on 3/20/06, and from the time I had bought the car, (2/20/06) there had been no problem until 3/21 when the problem first showed up. The second time it happened in just the same way was the evening of 3/29 while at a stop signal. Each time, I was able to put car into neutral to avoid hitting the car in front of me. I am not quite sure what I did each time to slow the engine back down.
