Example complaints

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

“I started the car up after dinner. About 2 minutes later four warnings lights related to the braking system went off (ABS vtrac brake vsc) followed by a long warning buzz and then a complete lost of braking power from the pedal and the handbrake. I was able to come to a complete stop and then tried to restart the vehicle to remedy the problem. It did not solve the problem and so for safety reason I called for a tow to the closest Lexus dealership. The dealer at first told me I have to replace the brake master cylinder which costs about $3000 plus tax. …”
