“There has been a recall on Lexus 2016 es 350 in april 2016 for the brake actuator which could cause brake pressure to fail. I have called several times the Lexus dealership in escondido, ca. Tells me....... We don't have the parts and we will call you when we get the parts. I am driving a brand new car that does not comply with a portion of fmvss 126, loss of vehicle stability control, increasing the risk of a crash. It is now mid august 2016. I will probably be dead if the brakes go out and I will not be able to report to you where the incident happened. …”
