“I have been having a loud barking sound near the driver side lower side near or behind the firewall. This occurs regularly when braking and even occurs when I depress the brake so I can turn the car on. It mostly happens when nearing a complete stop and pressing the brakes moderately. The pedal will even vibrate like a cell phone with noise. There appears slightly reduced braking response as this happens although not much. It sounds like old pipes with fluid moving through it but sharper. Very disappointing for Lexus.”

Thinking it was something of a fluke, I didnt pay any further attention to it. After not driving the car for couple of days, when I turned on the car a day ago the warning (!, brake, ABS, and traction control lights) are all lit up on my 2015 Lexus CT200h. After doing some research, I have found an old recall for Lexus CT200 H for (2011-2014) see (L-SB-0009-210) from May 11,2021 letter online. …”
