“I purchased a 2014 Lexus IS 350 f sport from fort worth brothers, llc/alfa romeo fiat in fort worth, texas on july 20, 2018. I noticed the next day while driving the car at highway speeds that when applying the brakes, there is a rumbling/grinding noise and the car was hard to stop. I went back to the dealership the next day and told them. They checked the car and said they found nothing wrong and that they resurfaced the rotors. When I left the dealership, I continued to have the same problems with the brakes. …”
NHTSA complaint #11124163, filed 2018-09, 47,545 miles“While driving on a major highway, I needed the brakes to be applied very rapidly as a vehicle cut me off and immediately slammed on their brakes. Upon my full and rapid pressing of the brake pedal, the emergency brake force distribution system braking did not appear to apply as on previously vehicles I've had or have including two large SUV's. Brake pedal was applied and pressed with full and complete force to the point that it no longer went any further. Continued in motion, no sliding, minimal ABS kicked in. And accident did occur as vehicle did not stop in time. …”
