“The ABS actuator is making a creaking noise when the car is not moving and I am stepping on the brake. The noise goes away when I am stepping on the brake very lightly or when I let go of the brake. I googled this problem and I have seen a lot of people having this same kind of problem. On the Lexus forum they said that there is a recall on this but I could not find the recall document.”

“While driving at low to moderate speeds in my Lexus rx400h, there is a hesitation in the brakes. It seems to occur in the change over between hybrid regenerative braking and normal hydraulic braking. I rear-ended a car in stop and go traffic due to this issue. I reported this to my local Lexus dealer on two occasions, but they found no problems.”
