“I lease a 2007 Lexus 350. When I brake, the car often jerks dramatically to the right. It is not 100% of the time but often. My brother, an engineer at honda drove the car in november and suggested it was a computer issue. I called Lexus and took the car in for maintenance. They at ray catena Lexus told me I needed new brake pads and tires. I replaced the brake pads. The car's tires are still fine. The issue is still happening. The service team at ray catena told me they could not see any reason for the jerking and could not recreate it when they test drove the car. …”

NHTSA complaint #10314243, filed 2010-02, 27,000 miles

“The design and failure of the rear brake calipers, the rear brake calipers constantly rust and seize making them stick and cause a safety issue because the brakes will lock and start smoking. Even after repair the brakes will seize again after a year or sometime sooner. It is a known defect by Lexus but still not covered as a recall/safety issue.”

“While undergoing normal preventive maintenance by the selling authorized Lexus dealer, the car was noted to have ... Both rear caliper slides ... Seized resulting in the need to ... Replace(d) rear pads and rotors due to calipers being seized. The servicing dealer informed me that this is a common problem in all Lexus models that they service and, in their opinion due to inadequate lubrication of the rear caliper slides, which they are generally able to correct by removing and relubricating the slides or, if necessary, by replacing the calipers.”
