2007 Lexus LS Brakes Problems

“Lexus had received numerous reports where various brake system related warning lamps illuminate due to internal malfunctions of the brake actuator assembly. While my 2007 LS 460's brake actuator assembly was replaced under this recall/warranty and was replaced 3 years ago, my vehicle continues to have the same issue. …”

“Lexus diagnosed the front brake actuator is failing. Apparently this was a known issue and there was a customer support program that extended the warranty on this part to december 31, 2017 or 150,000 miles. This issue appeared at about 100,000 miles on my vehicle, but beyond the expiration date of the customer support program and Lexus has refused to repair it at no cost or consider an extension. I consider this issue a safety risk as it concerns the braking system. …”

“My 2007 ls460 Lexus with 100k miles has a failed brake actuator assembly ascertained by a Lexus and toyota dealer. This was a confronted problem by toyota for failure of the o rings within the assembly. The actuator abruptly went out while on the highway at 70mph causing brake fluid to not go to the right calipers. There is a recall for 150 k mi or 10 years, whichever occurs first. However. My Lexus was out of warranty in may, 2018 and they will not offer any help whatsoever because my warranty expired aprox. 1 year ago.”

“At random times when driving our car, the ABS, vsc and brake warning lights come on on the dashboard. When this happens the ABS system becomes inoperative, and the front brakes can easily lock up during moderately heavy braking. We believe toyota has purposely designed the system to disable the ABS functionality when there is a possible problem detected in the ABS accumulator. That does not seem like a good idea. The warning lights sometimes go off for a while (a few days sometimes) and then return at random times and during various driving conditions. …”

“I have filed a complaint with corporate Lexus about the notorious 'brake actuator ' issue. There was a recall campaign 150k miles or 10 years from manufacture build date. What I am having is noise coming from the brake actuator when the pedal is depressed. This issue will only lead up to the brake actuator failing and causing a catasrophic accident. My vehicle only has 88k miles. Dealership and corporate knows of the issue and will not honor the warranty enhancement. There is a reason why they had this extended campaign because they know that the brake actuators in these vehicles are faulty. …”
