“On 8/16/19, I was leaving for work, and went to reverse my vehicle out of garage, down inclined driveway, found out that the brakes were completely out accompanied by warning beeping rapidly. The power steering also locked up. I was able to push emergency brake, which did stop the vehicle, I put in car in drive and went forward into garage and pushed/locked emergency brake again to store vehicle in garage on flat surface. Car was towed to local toyota (Lexus certified) service shop. …”
NHTSA complaint #11280151, filed 2019-11, 117,695 miles“A week ago I started hearing a clunking noise in the steering column.

My 2010 HS250h only has 98,000 miles. I have never-ever had to replace the rack and pinion steering in any car! (Nor has anyone I know.) I believe this is a serious safety issue, especially since there were no warning lights to alert me of this problem. I am totally shocked that this would happen in a LEXUS! …”
