“I own a 2007 Lexus gs450 hybrid. Last week while driving in the city I drove over some bumps in the road & applied the brakes. Nothing happened for a second or two & then the brakes worked as always. This was definitely a brake failure & the first time this has happened.”

NHTSA complaint #10306507, filed 2010-02, 76,000 miles

“Car: 2007 Lexus GS450H, factory certified. Had a serious issue which warrants a recall of all affected cars, which may not be limited to the gs hybrid. This happened only a couple of weeks after buying the car. Per Lexus, it is a defect which will impact all of their hybrids, and probably all toyota hybrids as well. While driving down the freeway at rush hour, the car turned itself off. No power steering, no power brakes... No power period. Fortunately, I used to drive race cars professionally and was able to handle it, but I suspect that most drivers would have crashed. …”
