“At the 20k service on our 2002 Lexus ls430 we were informedthat we needed the front and rear bark pads replaced and the dics turned at our cost of $588. We were told that Lexus redesigned the sensors and we would need to repeat this each 20k. How can a car that sells for over 60 thousand dollars have such a bad redesign?”
NHTSA complaint #10040963, filed 2003-09, 22,792 miles“While driving 70 MPH on the highway traction warning indicator illuminated, and the vehicle lost brake power and steering for a period of one minute. During that time vehicle swerved left to right, but did not come in contact with any other vehicles or objects on the road. Traction light went off, and vehicle returned to normal. The vehicle was taken to a dealer, who did a diagnostic test. It was found that hydraulic unit on the brake booster was the cause of the problem, and was replaced.”
