“I am experiencing an anti lock brakes actuator failure. Upon starting the vehicle it gives the warning stop the vehicle and contact a dealer . I have did this and found that this is an issue that toyota/Lexus is aware of as they have issued a service bulletin about it and offered an extended warranty. However, the extended warranty is limited by mileage and years. Being a key safety component in vehicle operation, I am requesting this issue be converted into a recall. I have tried to get repair assistance from Lexus customer support and they denied the request based on mileage.”
