Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“After new brakes installed by Lexus 11/03/2009, brakes became grabby. When front wheels were wet as in after washing, brakes would make a loud groaning noise & lock the driver front wheel causing car to pull to left. After numerous complaints to Lexus, problem still not resolved as of 07/05/2011. Lexus continues to contend that this is normal...even to include the wheel locking...because it is wet. Speed to test essentially rolling only... Almost hit a pole in parking lot when stepping on brake after washing.”
