Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I had remarked to the local dealer that it made a clunk noise when starting the vehicle and depressing the brake pedal. This was at 63k mi when I purchased it. I was told it was normal. Approximately 1 year and 10k mi. After I started to experience squealing when braking. I was told by the dealer that no issues were found and that it was most likely caused by cheap aftermarket brakes. I brought the vehicle in for the brakes again and was told that they found nothing wrong, probably just cheap pads. Approximately 3k mi. Later when driving at approx. 35mph. …”
NHTSA complaint #10764616, filed 2015-09, 65,000 miles“Brake actuator failure is a known issue by Lexus and Lexus says they will not replace mine. Its a safety issue and should been a recall instead of 'warranty enhancement' with limitations to get Lexus out of fixing something they know is faulty and a safety issue.”

The first was brake malfunction, then check vsc system, then check brake system. The brakes got real soft and the car acted like it didnt want to stop”
