Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“There is a clicking or popping sound coming from the front of the car. This happens anytime when applying the brakes, and when stopped at a light with the brakes applied. The frequency of the noise has increased with a sensation under your foot. I'm not sure if this will lead to some type of ABS brake failure. I did an online search for this noise and it looks to be a very common problem with the ls models. Numerous people have had this same problem. It turns out, it is the brake actuator and Lexus is very aware of the problem. …”
