“I have a 2010 Lexus gx 460, and when braking the brakes require alot of pressure to bring the car to a stop. When the car is also at a stop it requires alot of pressure on the brake to keep the car stopped or else the car will lurch forward. I did some research online, and found that their are other Lexus gx 460 owners with this same problem. …”
NHTSA complaint #10373392, filed 2010-12, 5,000 miles“Every time when I apply brake I hear squeaking noise from the brake pedal, as per Lexus this is normal noise and nothing they can do. I even opened a case for Lexus headquarter but no luck.”
NHTSA complaint #10485198, filed 2012-11, 45,000 miles“Two problems with the SUV. One is that when you are at a stop after a while your foot is on the brake the brake pedal seems to go in just a little and the car moves forward, the other problem we believe started when they fixed the roll over problem with the SUV. Every once in a while when you are stopped and put your foot on the accelerator nothing happens until you put your foot down hard.”
