2007 Lexus ES350 Brakes Problems

“I have owned Lexus ES350 2007 and I am problem with the handle when I press brake at high speed. I brought into dealer and they changed the rotors 3rd time and this is fourth time for the same problem. May 2007, nov. 2008, aug. 2008, mar 2009 I am having same problem. This time they want me to change rotors for front and back at my expense, but I believe this is not normal and dealer could not locate the problem. I am worry that it is associate with brakes and this is what my wife drives.”

“This is about the rear brake pads of Lexus e350 and the ethics of Lexus dealer. I took my 2007 ES350 to Lexus dealer for a recall job. When I picked up the car the dealer gave me an inspection sheet which showed that the front disc pads are 8mm thick (reasonable for a 30,000 miles car) while the rear pads had worn down to 1mm ( dangerously thin). I asked the dealer whether the replacement is covered by warranty. They said emphatically 'no' and offered deceiving (extremely unethical) explanations as to why this happened. …”

“On 07/2009 we took our 2007 Lexus ES350 in for service with 20k miles. It was being taken in for a brake problem, faulty visor and vehicle tilted/leaning. I was advised that the brakes had 1mm left (near brake failure). A Lexus tech replaced the brakes, visor and confirmed that the vehicle was tilted/leaning. Since then the vehicle returned several times for service including but not limited to the following: brakes and tilt/leaning. The brakes were replaced again and another tech confirmed that the vehicle was tilted/leaning with visual and physical inspection. …”

“I am pleased to see something is finally being done about the Lexus es 350 2007 acceleration problem. I filed a complaint in dec 2006, as I was spared from a fatal crash due to the acceleration problem. The recall that came out the following spring was only for Lexus mats and I did not have a Lexus mat but had another store bought mat. The 2007 recall program did not properly address the issue. I discussed with this agency and sent letters to toyato in japan and to the Lexus headquarters in ca. I kept copies of all correspondence sent in 2006 so they knew about the problem. …”

“I was driving my 2007 Lexus ES350 north on route 34 in colts neck, new jersey. Suddenly car speed increased from approximately 35 MPH to in excess of 70mph. I applied brakes and emergency brakes which did nothing. I spent the next three miles avoiding cars in my lane and oncoming lanes. During this time I attempted to put car into neutral and turn it off. Nothing happened. I finally was able to put car in reverse which slowed it down but then it started going backwards. I finally got into neutral and was able to turn off. Car is presently at Lexus dealer. …”
